Skewz Podcast #16: Pamela Geller and the Realities of the Post 9/11 World

We had a great conversation with Pamela Geller whose popular blog is Atlas Shrugs (see: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com).  Pamela spoke to us about the origins of both her blog and her political views which were quickly shaped in the aftermath of 9/11.  The attacks on the World Trade Center led her to want to better understand the character and motives of those that attacked the United States.  In the process of trying to find answers on her own through primary research, Pamela began to formulate her perspectives on the threat of radical Islam.  During our conversation, Pamela indicated that she found that blogs were a source of more detailed and thorough information than the main stream media.  As such, she began focuses on getting information from reliable blog sites.  We spoke about some of the contributing factors to the rise of radical Islam.  We also discussed Jimmy Carter's administration and the notions of post war mentality versus post-historical perspective.

We also spoke about the 2008 presidential election.  She cited that nearly 50% of people believe that the media is helping Barrack Obama.  In addition, we touched upon the New York Times on-going flap with the McCain campaign.
