MTA Caves On Anti-Mosque Ad Campaign

Wingnut Atlas Shrugged blogger Pamela Geller has forced NYC's public transit authority to accept her bus ad campaign against the mosque near Ground Zero. The MTA initially forced Geller through several revisions of her image, asking her to remove the smoke, flames, and plane from the photo, saying that "images of 9/11 are too controversial" for city buses. Geller responded: "I was floored. I said, 'It is American history. How can it be banned? What about Pearl Harbor? Is that censored too? On what grounds are 9/11 images banned?' It is unconscionable." Geller sued and today announced that her original image will run as submitted.
