Pamela Geller, who has made a career out of hating anyone of the Islamic faith, now finds herself in quite a quandary: She’s been booted off and banned from PayPal because her website, AtlasShrugs.com, has been engaged in activities which violated PayPal’s terms of service.
After PayPal sent Geller a notice telling her they no longer wanted her as a customer, she took to Twitter and played the Nazi card:

Yeah, it’s just like pre-war Germany, Pamela. Only it isn’t, and as the Southern Poverty Law Center has noted, Geller has a long association with extreme right groups and individuals:
“Geller has mingled comfortably with European racists and fascists, spoken favorably of South African racists, defended Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic and denied the existence of Serbian concentration camps. She has taken a strong pro-Israel stance to the point of being sharply critical of Jewish liberals.
Several tech companies–PayPal, Apple, Cloudfare–are ending their business arrangements with white supremacist groups and individuals in the aftermath of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. As the Los Angeles Times reported:
“Tech companies have the legal right to terminate user accounts if those users violate their terms of service, according to legal experts, although many companies don’t often exercise those rights except in extreme circumstances because they are reluctant to police content and speech.”
What’s most ironic is that many right wingers have complained that florists and bakeries have to offer their services to same-sex couples even though it may violate their religious convictions. Yet here we have Geller saying PayPal shouldn’t be allowed to refuse her service because she’s spreading hatred and intolerance. Whatever happened to letting the free market decide?
In response to her angry tweet, Geller got plenty of pushback on Twitter:
So it's ok for PayPal to refuse service but not a bakery or photographer. #Hypocrisy

I look forward to spending even more of my hard earned money from calzone sales on PayPal because of this news.

Another right winger confused between free-speech and not giving a platform to somebody to spout hate. Snowflake.

Boycott PayPal? Seems to me that PayPal are boycotting you.

Good on PayPal. And you clearly don't know what pre-war Germany was like. You see dummy, you're the fascist here.

By 'leftists' you mean anyone with a shred of conscience?
