December 23, 2012 - Guns, Geller, and Refugees.

As the nation mourns the death of 20 children and 7 adults in Newtown, Connecticut, we speak to anti-gun advocate Andy Pelosi about the scourge of gun violence, with a particular focus on New York City.

After hate-maven Pamela Geller posts 50 new anti-Muslim ads across the New York transit system, we speak to anti-racism advocates Cyrus McGoldrick and Donna Nevel about the long tentacles of Geller's Islamophobia.

And finally, as Syrian government forces bomb the Yarmouk refugee camp, we talk Ahmad Diab, the Syrian-born son of Palestinian refugees, about the fate of Palestinian refugees caught in the crosshairs of the Assad bloodbath.
