Dana Loesch slams news sources for accurately quoting Scott Walker on ultrasounds

Another day of faux-outrage from Dana Loesch, and it's the Scott Walker quoting "it's a cool thing out there" on ultrasounds on both her radio and TV shows.

Loesch falsely  claims that Walker's quote was "butchered" by TPM, Politico (since changed), and other outlets, which is not a real surprise given her hard-line anti-abortion viewpoints:
Politico deliberately used a quote from Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker on ultrasound images and falsely claimed that Walker was applying it to legislated ultrasounds prior to obtaining an abortion.[...]
Anyone with the reading comprehension of a dolphin knows that Walker was specifically describing ultrasound images, not the legislation itself -- which yes, it is cool that women seeking an abortion as a form of birth control must think and see the life they are ending before ending it.
Her tweets slamming Josh Marshall and other outlets that accurately quoted Walker that she says is "nonexistent":
















Politico, caving into raging whiny prick Loesch, changes headline.








































Randi Weingarten's right.
















"Properly," by Loesch's standards. 








He did say the quote, doofus. 








There's a war on women being waged, and it's people like you and your ilk that are waging it, NOT Planned Parenthood or any other pro-choice entity.

Loesch toady Ben Howe on the Walker comments:
















Josh Marshall at TPM has done more truthful journalism that you've ever done in your lifetime, Dana. 









 Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs nails it:

This is typical stuff from Mrs. Loesch.

Miranda Blue at Right Wing Watch:

In an interview with conservative talk radio host Dana Loesch on Friday, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker defended his anti-choice record, saying that a bill he signed requiring that women seeking an abortion first obtain a medically unnecessary ultrasound merely provided them with access to “a lovely thing” and a “cool thing out there.” 
[...]
Walker told Loesch that criticism he received about the ultrasound bill was merely an attack from the “gotcha” media, and that he was in fact just trying to provide women with “a cool thing.” 
“The thing about that, the media tried to make that sound like that was a crazy idea,” he said. “Most people I talked to, whether they’re pro-life or not, I find people all the time that pull out their iPhone and show me a picture of their grandkids’ ultrasound and how excited they are, so that’s a lovely thing. I think about my sons are 19 and 20, we still have their first ultrasounds. It’s just a cool thing out there.”

Tommy Christopher at The Daily Banter:
Wisconsin Governor and Republican presidential co-frontrunner Scott Walker caused a viral stir this week when comments he made to conservative media star Dana Loesch went viral. Walker was defending the mandatory ultrasound law he signed in 2013 on the basis that ultrasounds are “lovely” and “a cool thing.”

“I’ve passed prolife legislation, we defunded Planned Parentiood signed a law that requires an ultrasound, um, which, think about that, the media tried to make that sound like it’s a crazy idea. Most people I talk to, whether they’re prolife or not, I find people all the time will get out their iPhone and show me a picture of their grandkids’s ultrasound and how excited they are. That’s a lovely thing. My sons are 19 and 20, we still have the ultrasound picture, it’s a cool thing out there.”
Now, Loesch is leading a conservative media campaign against Politico, and other outlets, over their coverage of Walker’s remarks. At issue are headlines like Politico‘s “Scott Walker on Mandatory Ultrasounds: ‘It’s just a cool thing out there,” or TPM’s “Scott Walker: Mandatory Ultrasounds Are ‘Just A Cool Thing’ For Women.”
