Dana Loesch's recent lunacy continues on trucking

We have even more evidence that the discredited far-right lunatic CNN "Contributor", host of The Dana Show on KFTK, and Big "Journalism" Editor-In-Chief Dana Loesch is misinforming her audience to believe whatever snake oil she's selling.


Loesch is STILL whining about Planned Parenthood's alleged "bullying" against Komen. She claims it's Planned Parenthood that's politicizing the debate, not Komen and the anti-choice lobby.

From the 02.07.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:


Yesterday, on The Dana Show, religious right nutcase Loesch was shrieking about the "liberals claiming that Rick Santorum is a crazy Christian." Santorum is indeed a crackpot Christian Conservative. Later on, she baseless accused "Liberals want to 'tear apart' and 'control' your rights, like the Nazis and Commies."



From the 02.08.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:


She agreed with the fearmongering caller about the possibility of "martial law aided by Soros and OWS if Obama loses the 2012 Elections."


From the 02.08.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:



Today, CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson did NOT attend the CPAC Awards Ceremony to accept the bogus award from Inaccuracy In Media.  Instead, CBS's Washington Bureau Chief Christopher Isham spoke on her behalf. The other recipient, Dana Loesch, was there and defended Attkisson's "reporting" on Fast and Furious.

Huffington Post's Michael Calderone:

CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson did not attend Accuracy in Media's awards ceremony Thursday at CPAC, following days of questions from outlets like Politico and the Washington Post over her decision to accept an award from the conservative organization. 

Media Matters, the liberal watchdog group, recently took aim at Attkisson for planning to accept the award from AIM, describing the group as a "widely discredited fringe organization." The organization called attention to anti-gay columns by AIM director Cliff Kincaid and sent sent a letter to CBS News president David Rhodes and Washington bureau chief Christopher Isham, advising them against having Attkisson attend. 

Big Journalism editor-in-chief Dana Loesch, while accepting the Reed Irvine award for Grassroots Journalism, praised Attkisson, saying that "she told the truth."

Dana Loesch and Sharyl Attkisson win Inaccuracy In Media's Reed Irvine Award

Massive distortion extraordinaire Dana Loesch gets an "award" from the extremely dishonest right-wing partisan front group called "Accuracy In Media," or really Inaccuracy In Media. Loesch has a history of blatant and outright distortions of the truth, is a habitual liar, has made offensive statements, and is a phony hack of a "journalist." So it's no surprise that she won an award from a biased organization like AIM.


From AIM's website:

Loesch whines about the alleged media cover-up of a sexual assault at OccupySTL

Yesterday at Big "Journalism", St. Louis's #1 Smear Merchant Dana Loesch wrote an article falsely accusing the "local mainstream media of failing to report a sexual assault at OccupySTL."

P/oed Patriot first broke the story of a reported sexual assault case which took place at the Occupy St. Louis encampment in downtown Keiner Plaza on November 8th:
According to the St. Louis Police website crime map, at 3:55 PM at the corner of North 7th Street and Market (the exact location of Kiener Plaza where Occupy St. Louis was camped out) a Sexual Offense occurred.

 Why did this take ten days to make it to the mainstream media? Media tried to smear the tea party when they couldn’t find controversy, but this goes unreported for ten days?


CBS affiliate KMOV Channel 4 reported on the story this evening:

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) — A woman participating in the OccupySTL protest reported to police that a man sexually assaulted her while she was in her tent last Tuesday, three days before tents were removed by the city.  A St. Louis City police officer says the mayor could have prevented it.
Brian E. King, 38, was charged with first degree sexual misconduct after police said he crawled into the victim’s tent and touched her breast.  The assault happened on November 8 at the encampment that used to be set up in Kiener Plaza.
[...]
The mayor’s chief of staff says that Wiegert’s accusations are all about politics, and the staff points out that St. Louis did not have problems like other cities.
Occupy member John Mills says that crimes happened before the occupation, and the perpetrator in this case was not a regular participant. He does not think it should reflect on their movement.

The assault occurred at the protest and it would not have occurred had the protest not occurred. Mills can’t say for certain that the perpetrator isn’t a “regular participant.” So he’s kind of a participant? Mills stated that King isn’t a “regular participant” which suggests King had participated before. The words of Occupy St. Louis’s own organizer refutes the defense offered by its group on Twitter that King was “only tied by location.” The group insists that the press, which hadn’t reported on the assault for ten days, is also somehow “smearing” them over the actions of an “unregular” participant.

Since KMOV reported this Occupystl attacked them on Twitter, accusing them of “pandering” to me simply because I’m in the media, discussed it on my radio show (KMOV and my flagship station are two media entities in the same city), and publicly @’ed me on Twitter with a link to their story while I was on air. The Occupy group seems more outraged over this than over the fact that a crime against a woman occurred at their event in the first place. Figure that one out.
*MORE from Adam Sharp replete with Marc Cox’s report on KMOV.

Loesch, right-wing biased KMOV (the CBS affiliate in St. Louis), and KMOX 1120AM (the home of righty talkers Charlie Brennan, Mark Reardon, Rush Limbaugh, and formerly Jay Severin, plus the Cardinals, Blues and Tigers) have a long history of demonizing OccupySTL protestors, and even going as far as to accuse them of being "sexual assaulters."

She loves to lie about anything, including the OWS movement.


From the 11.17.2011 edition of KMOV's News 4 at 6PM:


KSDK, the St. Louis market's NBC affiliate, had reported the real facts-- unlike the Teabagger spin from KMOV.

St. Louis (KSDK) -- A homeless man is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a tent at the Occupy St. Louis encampment in Kiener Plaza.
Brian Eric King, 38, was charged with first-degree sexual misconduct.
According to the probable cause statement, Krug allegedly went into the tent and touched woman's breast on November 8.

Update: Marc Cox, a KMOV "reporter" and former News 4 Awake anchor, who hosts a radio show on Sunday nights, went on the Friday edition of KFTK's The Dana Show and lie about the OWS Movement.

From the 11.18.2011 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:




Bonus tidbits: Rabid Nickelback and Lady Gaga hater Loesch is also trashing Third Eye Blind for supporting the OWS movement. She trashed Maroon 5 in October for bashing Fixed Noise, a GOP advocacy outlet disguised as a "news organization."

St. Louis's favorite distorter of the truth Loesch goes on The Early Show

Today, after one week of The Dana Show's syndication to WIBC Indianapolis, she is sounding crazy as ever. She went on The Early Show, and was making excuses for the Tucson shooting, blaming the Liberals for exploiting the tragedy, when people like her were milking it for her own gain. The Right-Wing media is doing a circle jerk defending her. Frankly, having Loesch on ANY show, other than those on FNC, ruin a show's credibility.

Also: Dana Loesch cries like a baby over Priebus being named new RNC Chair.

From The Dana Show's fanpage on Facebook:

The Dana Show

Well, I won't be donating to or ever working with RNC after Priebus won. FYI reading: http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2011/01/priebus-poised-to-fast-track-barbours-2012-presidential-bid.html

Stimulus king: http://biggovernment.com/driehl/2010/12/15/is-reince-priebus-shovel-ready-in-race-for-rnc-chair/

She's griping about an alleged RINO being named the RNC chair, but watch by 2012 comes, she'll be back giving money to the RNC. She tried to pass herself off as an "Ultra-Conservative Independent," when she is in fact a GOP watercarrier.

Dana Loesch embarrasses St. Louisans on AC360 and The Early Show

Bad news: Teabagger quack Dana Loesch will be a part of ABC's election night coverage. Go on FNC is where this nutcase belongs!

**Providing analysis and historical context will be ABC News contributors George Will, Cokie Roberts, Donna Brazile and Matthew Dowd. They will be joined by Ron Brownstein, Editorial Director for the National Journal Group and conservative commentator Dana Loesch.

Dana The Diva, on last night's AC360:

COOPER: There is a really interesting story about leaked e-mails I want to talk about with you.

They involve the Senate candidate from Alaska Joe Miller and Todd Palin. Now, Mr. Palin says there's no story here, there's nothing to see, folks, just kind of move along.

But a leaked e-mail that he sent to Joe Miller and others hints at his sharp political teeth, and perhaps -- perhaps -- Sarah Palin's presidential ambitions.

The e-mail and one from Miller to his campaign associates followed a television appearance on Fox News Sunday where Miller, the Palin-supported nominee, obviously, was asked -- quote -- "Would you support her," meaning Sarah Palin, "for president?"

Take a look at his answer.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

NEIL CAVUTO, HOST, FOX NEWS CHANNEL: Would you support her for president?

JOE MILLER (R), ALASKA SENATORIAL CANDIDATE: You know, we have been asked that question before.

CAVUTO: Really? I'm surprised.

MILLER: There are a number of great candidates out there, including -- I have been, actually -- but -- but we have had, you know, a number of people that have introduced their names as potential candidates in 2012.

Certainly, Palin is on the top of that ticket. You've got a number of folk that any one of which would be better than President Obama.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COOPER: Now, here's the e-mail that that appearance apparently triggered from Todd Palin to Joe Miller and others.

Quote: "Sarah put her ass on the line for Joe, and yet he can't answer a simple question: is Sarah Palin qualified to be president? I DON'T KNOW IF SHE IS." The caps are his. Now, we should mention that, in the interview, as you saw, Joe Miller did not say those words, "I don't know if she is." Todd Palin later said that he had just been told that is what she said -- he said.

The e-mail goes on: "Joe, please explain how this endorsement stuff works. Is it to be completely one-sided? Sarah spent all morning working on a Facebook post for Joe. She won't use it, not now. Put yourself in her shoes, Joe, for one day."

So, three days later, Miller forwards this to his associates, adding -- quote -- "Just found this in my inbox. This is what we're dealing with." He goes on: "Note the date and the complete misconstruction of what I said. Holy cow."

So two things, it's a pretty rare look inside the Palin political operation, which appears to work and at least in this case, on a bit of a hair trigger at times, and a hint of perhaps Palin's presidential aspirations.

Let's talk about it with Tea Party supporter Dana Loesch, and Marc Lamont Hill, a blogger, contributor to "The Root" online magazine and host of Our World with Black Enterprise on AOL.

Dana, it's interesting. I mean, one of the other interesting things about this is, it really does show Todd Palin's role kind of as enforcer, or close role, at least, with Sarah Palin.

DANA LOESCH, ORGANIZER, ST. LOUIS TEA PARTY COALITION: It does.

It's a really interesting tone that he takes, too, because I thought one of the narratives about the Palins was that they were supposed to have this really frosty marriage, and that they didn't care for each other, and that they weren't close.

And I think Todd Palin coming to his wife's defense kind of blows that out of the water a little bit.

COOPER: Marc, what do you make of this -- of this e-mail?

MARC LAMONT HILL, HOST, OUR WORLD WITH BLACK ENTERPRISE: Well, first, it doesn't necessarily mean that. I mean, we have seen, with the Clintons, who are also reported to have this frosty sort of political relationships, they're also political assassins. And when they see their political dynasty in jeopardy, you know, they -- they -- they act on it.

I think what you see here with the Palins is a very similar kind of thing. I think they have a sense of entitlement. I think Sarah Palin strongly believes that she's the new leader of the Republican Party, and anyone who doesn't fall in line, she's going to check hard. And that's what we just saw here.

(CROSSTALK)

COOPER: But, Marc, isn't it -- isn't it fair if -- if -- for -- the -- the extent to which Sarah Palin, you know, really put Joe Miller on the -- on the map and got the Tea Party Express to -- to put $600,000 behind him, and she appeared in an ad for him. Isn't it fair in the world of kind of, you know, sharp-elbow politics to expect a little love in return?

HILL: Absolutely.

And if -- if Joe had actually said that "I can't say that she's qualified to be president," that would be a very hard blow. But what was actually said is something far more ordinary in politics, which is that, "I'm not going to endorse a Republican nominee right now or a candidate right now, this early in the race, because I have a lot of dogs in the fight." I think that was fairly ordinary. I think it was fine.

COOPER: Dana, what -- what else -- do you think this does indicate that Sarah Palin is, you know, at least seriously considering running for president?

LOESCH: Oh, definitely.

I think she's kind of tossing it around back and forth, deciding if she -- if she wants to run or not. But I also don't think we can pass judgment on what the Palins, what they were or were not thinking, because we don't know into what context these remarks were delivered to Todd Palin.

If he says that he was told that he heard Joe Miller disparaging Sarah Palin, then, of course. I mean, anyone in his right mind is going to come to their defense of their wife. I -- I just think it shows Todd Palin being kind of a stand-up guy.

But I definitely do think that she's --

HILL: Not if you're doing --

LOESCH: -- she's considering something.

HILL: You know, I think, if you're doing big-league politics at this level, I mean, you do -- you don't just send an e-mail like that out. You have a team. You have advisers.

LOESCH: Oh, yes. Everybody does it.

HILL: You actually investigate. You find out if it's true or not.

LOESCH: Oh, no.

(CROSSTALK)

COOPER: But the fact that it leaked out --

LOESCH: Well, no one -- no one -- no one even called Todd -- no one even called Todd Palin to say, hey, Todd, what -- did you -- what did you mean by this? What was behind this e-mail?

Nobody called Todd Palin. Everyone sort of like speculated, until he came out after the fact and said, "Hey, I had heard that there was a really disparaging remark," because if you look at the -- if you look at his remarks, he doesn't even quote Joe Miller accurately.

So, it does lend --

HILL: Exactly.

LOESCH: You have to admit, it does lend a little bit of -- of validity to that. COOPER: Very briefly, I want to ask you about this other story.

Last night, on John King, USA, Bob Woodward hinted that an Obama-Hillary Clinton ticket in 2012 was on the table. The White House batted it down today. So did -- so did sources close to Clinton.

What do you -- what do you think? Do you think it's possible, Marc?

HILL: No. I think it reeks of desperation. Do I think it will be a stronger ticket? Absolutely. But I think that it reeks of desperation. I think what the Democrats need to do instead of trying to replace the vice presidential slot, what they need to do is trumpet their victories. They need to do more on the domestic agenda to push what they've done successfully, which is a lot. Otherwise they won't energize their base.

LOESCH: Yes.

HILL: I think this move doesn't work.

COOPER: Dana, do you think it would energize the base? Do think it will get some of those independents who may be looking at -- you know, the folks you like, the Tea Party?

LOESCH: Hmm, I don't know. I mean the Clintons do have a little bit more of a history of being a little bit more moderate than Obama does, but I totally agree with Marc. I want the Democrats to run on everything that they've passed. I think that does -- I think that would be a wonderful campaign strategy, especially considering how well health care has been polling lately.

COOPER: Mark, are you worried that Dana is agreeing on this?

(CROSSTALK)

HILL: That -- no, because Dana's thinking about the Tea Party spin on what the Democrats have done. I'm talking about a -- I'm talking about progress on jobs.

LOESCH: No, that's just the polls.

HILL: I'm talking about a great HIV/AIDS agenda. I'm talking about education reform. There are a host of Democratic victories that people on the right don't acknowledge.

LOESCH: Oh, yes, I desperately --

HILL: What they do is they spin it, which is politically wise but it's just not accurate.

LOESCH: I desperately want to hear Democrats talk about vouchers.

HILL: You want the Tea Party re-mix to what the Democrats have done.

LOESCH: No, that's mainstream America. You can't just say it's like the Tea Party anymore. This is mainstream America.

HILL: People keep saying --

LOESCH: I desperately want Democrats to explain their stance on the voucher system.

COOPER: All right.

LOESCH: Please, let's run on that. I love it.

COOPER: We've got to go. Marc Lamont Hill, appreciate it. Dana Loesch, always good to have you on, thanks.

LOESCH: Thank you.

COOPER: One other political note, with polling continuing to show the Democrats heading into a buzz saw at the ballot box next month, and critics are putting some of the blame obviously on President Obama -- a lot of the blame -- it was the topic A tonight on Parker Spitzer. Take a look.

Dana Loesch, on today's The Early Show, on CBS:

Also, Dana had on Michael "Whiner" Savage (who she filled in for on at least one occasion) on KFTK's The Dana Show:

News From The Other side has this piece on how much of a jackass Dana is.

Is This The Voice of Anger Politics?

Yes, Dana Loesch is the "literal definition of shrill"! Yes readers, this gal is a "Republican" as well, and as you can see she will place the butcher knife in her own parties back quicker than you can blink. This very anger she emits in this video is the same gal on PJTV, Rupert Murdoch TV (AKA Fox News), and now to be subject matter expert on ABC news with Sawyer and Stephanopoulos.

As we see from the video Dana is speaking too about 5 St. Louis voters going to the court house to pay their parking fine.

We realize here at NFTOS that we give this tool way to much print. But she is the master at irritating, and she certainly grates us here at the horseshoe. We have searched and searched for an honest background check on her, and the only things that come up are self written blurbs by Dana herself.

Dana is often rattling off the predictable drivel of lower taxes, smaller government and the "intent of the founding fathers on mainstream media. We here at NFTOS hope Dana keeps going on cable news shows and continues talking about how she would like to abolish Social Security. It's almost as if she's a double agent working for the Democratic party from inside the tea bagger movement.

The mentality of Loesch is know better than the other hate radio show host like Beck, and Limbaugh etc. Dana is really so far out of her element, it would appear that Dana is a trained circus monkey who parrots what she obviously hears on right-wing shows more popular than her own-she's also a tool who calls callers "pricks" and hangs up them when they corner her with logic.
