An advertising campaign initiated by Geller’s group, “The American Freedom Defense Initiative,” will have its ads that equate foes of Israel with “savages” appearing in 10 New York City subway stations after a federal judge ordered the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to put them up.

You may remember that long before Pamela Geller’s Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas which came under armed attack this month, she and her fringey anti-Muslim group had been placing controversial ads in big city transit systems. Now they’re upping their game considerably, preparing to launch a new ad campaign in the DC transit system but unlike the others this ad includes the winning cartoon from the contest, which of course is a depiction of Muhammad. Fun times all around.
