So achieving escape velocity from geosynchronous orbit requires more delta v than from LEO?

I kind of see it, as the surface velocity of a GEO satellite is near zero yet the surface velocity of a LEO bird is measured in the thousands of KPH. However so much more energy was invested in raising the satellite so high up, I have a difficult time imagining that actually more energy is now required to bring it to escape velocity. Is not escape velocity at GEO altitudes lower than escape velocity at LEO?
