Salon tool Alex Seitz-Wald wrote a piece entitled "Pamela Geller blames a 'jihadi'" in the immediate aftermath of the Boston jihad bombings. It led off with this:
Seizing on a thinly sourced New York Post report
that police have ID’d a Saudi national as a suspect in the Boston
Marathon bombings this afternoon, Islamophohbic blogger and activist
Pamela Geller is ready to lay the blame. In her take, the alleged
suspect becomes a “Jihadi” and there isn’t any doubt in Geller’s mind
that he did it.
Now that we know that it really was a jihad, Atlas reader Milan Pavic wrote this email to Seitz-Wald:

Mister Seitz-Wald
Have you already offered your excuses to misses Geller?
No?
Well, you should do so, if you have any decency left.
On the subject of islam and the global jihad she WAS
right, she IS right and she will always be right.Don't blame Geller, blame islam and all the leftist heads
full of helium.Milan Pavic
The jihadis' stooge Seitz-Wald wrote this back to Milan:
The issue is not that she blamed jihad, it's that
she did it before we even knew ANYTHING about the suspects, like
who they where [sic]. She blamed jihad when she thought the Saudi
national, who has since been completely cleared, did it.
It takes a big man to admit when he was wrong, and Alex Seitz-Wald is a very, very small man. In the first place, the New York Post story turned out to be correct: while the leftist media at first denied that a Saudi national or anyone else was being held at all, eventually they had to admit that a Saudi national was indeed being held. But he was just a "witness," you see. Oh, really? How many "witnesses" get their homes searched, and bags full of evidence removed?
The oddities over the Saudi national's being a "witness" are just a small part of the unanswered questions involved in this story. Alex Seitz-Wald says he has been "completely cleared." Wrong again, Alex. Here is a summary of some of the biggest questions that still remain:
4 Major Questions That Remain About the Saudi National Tagged as 212(a)(3)(b), ‘Terrorist Activities’ The Blaze, Apr. 26, 2013
Photo: TheBlaze
It’s been nearly a week since Glenn Beck first revealed additional information
about Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national briefly considered a
person of interest in the Boston Marathon bombing. According to Blaze
sources, Alharbi was tagged as a 212(a)(3)(B) — the U.S. immigration
designation for “terrorist activities.”In the last week, TheBlaze has learned
(among other things) that Alharbi’s event file was altered last
Wednesday, two days after the bombings, and the 212(a)(3)(B) designation
was removed; that Alharbi was, in fact, placed on a watch list after
the attack; that he was at one time listed as “armed and dangerous”; and
that he was not properly vetted before he was allowed into the country
under a “special advisory option.”Despite those revelations, here are four major questions remaining about Alharbi:
1. What was the evidence that triggered the 212(a)(3)(B) filing?
There is nothing automatic about a
212(a)(3)(b) filing. Every piece of information must be manually
entered, line by line, and the decision cannot made by any single person
or even a “rogue agent.” Simply being on a no-fly list is not enough to
trigger a 212(a)(3)(b). One source told TheBlaze that even in one case
where the filing was ultimately incorrect, it still took six months to
remove.Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano did not address Alharbi’s 212(a)(3)(b) status during a House
hearing this week. She admitted that the Saudi national was temporarily
put on a watch list while he was interviewed following the Boston
bombings, but added it was quickly determined Alharbi was not involved
in the attack. The DHS head did not indicate that any other information
was uncovered that identified Alharbi as a potential terror threat.The question for the Department of
Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is, what did
you find that was so damning that you included such a designation in the
file? Or is there another explanation for including it?2. Why was Alharbi not fully vetted upon entering the United States?
Alharbi was admitted to the United
States under a “special advisory option,” generally reserved for
visiting politicians and diplomats. Who is he that he was permitted
entry without a full vetting?3. Why the continuing secrecy?
If this Alharbi is innocent and this
has been one big misunderstanding, why won’t the Department of Homeland
Security publicly come forward to clear everything up?4. Where is Alharbi now?
No one has publicly admitted they know
where Alharbi is. Is he still in the United States? Is he back in Saudi
Arabia? Where is he now?
The bottom line is that I was working from published reports about the Saudi national that proved to be correct. But don't expect a retraction and apology from Alex Seitz-Wald. That might come from a real journalist, but not from a propagandizing tool of the jihad like him.

The Saudi Foreign Minister al Faisel, according to Debkafile went to Washington DC and had an interview (unscheduled) with the President, Barak Obama last Wedensday. Isn’t that the day the terrorist label was removed from this guy’s file?
Debkafile also said we will never learn the truth of this bombing, that these guys were first employed by the US as agents and were turned and became doubles for Chechan Islamists. The articles there also say the Saudis are fully engaged in building mosques in the Chechan region.
The fact that these jihadis are given cover by the Obama people is not even disputed. His people and he are anti-Jew, anti-Christian, anti-freedom. Remember, he bent down from his waist and kissed the hand of the Saudi king, and then placed it to his forehead.
Who the #@*? is this guy, really?

Geller was right..or no she was wrong. Before she was right or wrong. Or what? What flight of fancy is this? I posted at the time that I thought it would be a jihadi,and I was not too sure about the smiling little saudi boy in the hospital either, who now we know Michelle Obama visited. Why? I guess he must have been a prince (5000 or so born each day!!! to expect such obeisance from a princess. Or Michelle Obama. So what?? I might have been right or wrong. It was an educated guess. I was right. Pamela was right. What exactly is the problem? Too bad all those bureaucrats who love the idea of their pensions more than they love the truth rule….NOW..Wait. Ohh, we might have whistle blowers about Benghazi, well lookee here, the truth might come out sooner than later. Lawsuits? Blow me away with a feather. Benghazi has stuck in my craw. Let the truth show itself. America did not live up to its ideas by abandoning its people at war!! Letting them be tortured, and the sordid pictures all over the internet. Their own Ambassador??? and no reprisals?? Why??? This must be answered. Thanks to all in government who would not let this lie, lie. Carry on bravely and let the words of the Iron Lady ring in your ears. Don’t go wobbledy on us now!!

How dare you be right! About Jihad all the time! You’ve got a lot of damn nerve Geller! A lot!

Seriously! It’s amazing to me how many people hate you, for being ahead of the curve, when it comes to Jihad.

Alex Seitz-Wald : mostly likely you are reading this, As far as I am concerned all that information was already out there.. Ms Geller was just putting it up as it developed!
Now, you have made a damning accusation that it was she who FIRST screamed jihad attack… it was already being screamed around & she was reporting what was out there!
You are a dhimmi and a retarded one at that!

🙂 Strangely Salon seems to have some skin in the jihadi game; why else be so defensive? Look go to salon.com and look at the subjects focused on- pro-abortion, pro-redef of marriage, pro-everything the Jewish people are taught to resist. If I had some connections I would be snooping the Salon money and personnel and see if it lead me to the funding of terrorism. They smell pro-jihadi to me.
The dictionary says ‘salon’ is a large meeting room or reception area where guests meet. I thought it was a place where women got their hair fixed. Coming from an ignorant background, I guess, its a little hoity-toity to name a news Co. ‘salon’ in the 1st place. Now ‘Saloon’ that would have been better.
Very little else goes ‘boom’ with flames but a bomb. Shoe displays don’t go ‘boom’, delis don’t ‘boom’ and a lingerie store certainly doesn’t go ‘boom’. It would take less than a half-wit to not think ‘bomb’ 1st. Which puts Salon a little bit lower than HuffPo. Muslims just like bombs. Its a no-brainer.

That has become their typical tactic. Pam has always said it’s not about her,it’s about the current events and they always try to make it a personal attack.

Why is Alex Seitz-Wald still a columnist at Salon?
Alex Seitz-Wald seems to be endorsing the Goldstone Report at his blog.
http://oliveandarrow.com/?p=210
The Golstone report is so bad even Goldstone has distanced himself from it.

Why is Alex Seitz-Wald still a columnist at Salon?
“Alex Seitz-Wald is the Assistant Editor of ThinkProgress.org at the Center for American Progress Action Fund. ”
Well, that explains a lot. ThinkProgress writers collaborated with Muslim Brotherhood member Wajahat Ali’s “Fear, Inc.” which is Muslim Brotherhood propaganda.
Alex Seitz-Wald has repeatedly given voice to the Hamas lobby CAIR which is a “working organization” of the Palestine Committee (page 6)

“Hopefully, this campaign can start to demystify Islam by taking the edge out of the scariest word in the religion and making jihad as quotidian as going to the gym. That’s Rehab’s jihad, what’s yours?”

It doesn’t matter if Pamela said the world is round, people like Alex Seitz-Wald will deny that she was right. Always. They will point their collective finger at her, and deny, obfuscate, condemn. (Sound familiar?) That’s all they’ve got.
To Alex Seitz-Wald – a jihad is a jihadi is a jihadi. Their goal is to kill, kill, then kill some more. What else is there to know??

I’ve never met a REAL man, one with testosterone who hyphenates his surname. Proves me right again. Pamela, your courage and backbone so intimidate these girly men that their is nothing you can do or say that is correct. Their mommy issues run deep.

Let me get this straight. Seitz-Wald is upset that Pamela quoted a major American newspaper, the NY Post, as her source of Saudi involvement and that is supposed to constitute “jumping to an unsubstantiated conclusion?” I could see using a quote from the NY Times as being jumping to an unsubstantiated conclusion from a questionable news source, but not the Post.
