Once again, flagrant liar Dana Loesch has zero clue about Colorado politics

Tea Party liar and gun nut d-bag Dana Loesch is in hot water again, and this time, she falsely claims that Colorado State Senator Angela Giron (D-Pueblo) is "being a racist for opposing a recall." And she has a history of lying about Colorado Democrats.

She makes an asshole response to Giron on her blog.

DanaLoeschRadio.com:


According to Giron’s logic, it’s racist then that she wants to disarm these Hispanics.

No, Ms. Loesch, Giron is NOT racist.


ColoradoPols.com diarist PolitiComm calls out Loesch's absurd BS and lack of legitimate facts regarding Colorado Politics:

Missouri native Dana Loesch–with no knowledge of race history or Pueblo politics–wants you to believe that the recall against Senator Angela Giron in Pueblo is in no way race or gender motivated. She cites the fact that Latino Representatives Ed Vigil and Leroy Garcia aren't being recalled as proof positive that the recall against Giron isn't in any way race related. The problem is those gal darn conservative pals of hers who spent an entire legislative session race and gender baiting Senator Giron and others. 
Before we get to the nitty gritty, we'll cast misogyny aside for a lesson in Colorado race history: Assuming that people identify as Latino based on their surname is prejudiced in itself. Loesch likely assumes, since she probably didn't ask Representatives Vigil and Garcia, that their Spanish surnames mean they think of themselves as Latino. Colorado reality check: The Spanish are European and many families with Spanish surnames have been here since the Spanish granted them land long before the Mexican-American War. Hence, many people with Spanish surnames in Colorado don't identify as Latino.  
Loesch's barely-west-of-the-Mississippi mentality certainly makes an ass out of her, but what's got me hot are the racist, misogynist asses she's dismissing or, worse, parroting.

Even more of Dana Loesch's smears against Colorado Dems

The delusional bastard from 97.1 FM is back to her usual disgusting smear tactics against the Colorado Democrats for having the courage to pass sensible gun safety laws.

Here are her tweets mocking liberals, pro-reproductive choicers, feminists, and gun safety supporters:




















Conservative women like you, Dana, are NOT anywhere close to being real feminists. In fact, you are a disgrace to your own gender.




















Her usual anti-abortion crapola.


























The Democrats are NOT going to take away a women's right to defense with a gun, you lying asshat!









EXCUSE ME, DANA?! What Todd Akin (or basically any RWNJ) said was 100,000,000x worse than what the Colorado Democratic Party personnel are doing.










In fact, Loesch's blatant distortions on Colorado's gun safety bills may have played a role in deranged racist Franklin Sain's threats against State Representative Rhonda Fields (D-COHD42).

KUSA, Denver/Aurora's NBC affiliate:
DENVER - The man accused of sending harassing emails and letters to Democratic Rep. Rhonda Fields of Aurora appeared in Denver court during an advisement hearing Friday. 

Franklin Sain, 42, was charged with attempt to influence a public servant and harassment-ethnic intimidation on Monday. Denver prosecutors allege the Colorado Springs man, who is white, tried to intimidate or harass Fields because she is black.  

The letter, sent to Fields's State Capitol office last month, said, "F--- Your Laws. I Keep my 30 Round Magazines. There Will Be Blood! I'm Coming For You! N----- B----." Rep. Fields' son was murdered in 2005 after pledging to testify in an murder trial. 
Sain was fired from his job as chief operating officer of an information technology firm Monday March, 4.


She's even smearing Progress Now Colorado for having the gonads to call out this deceptive moron:












Progress Now Colorado (@ProgressNowCO) debunked Loesch's BS and rightfully calls her out on blatant distortions:

Dana Loesch still making misleading attacks on Salazar and Democrats

Last night on Dana Busted, I had broken the news that Dana Loesch was flagrantly lying about Colorado State Rep. Joe Salazar (D), and even accused him and his party of starting a "war on women.


For the 2nd day in a row, Loesch took to her Twitter account (@DLoesch) to make false accusations about Salazar, gun safety advocates, and Democrats:











Loesch (and other wingnuts) defended the EXTREMELY SEXIST and OFFENSIVE #LiberalTips2Avoid Rape hashtag on Twitter.


Mother Jones' Asawin Suebsaeng has more on on that offensive hashtag::

There's this new hashtag #LiberalTips2AvoidRape that's now on its second day of trending on Twitter: A really, really great expression of our shared humanity, and of the possibilities of feel-good, thoughtful conservative satire... this is not:






For the uninitiated, this isn't an example of right-wingers deciding out-of-the-blue to be insensitive to rape victims. They have their reason, and his name is Joe Salazar, a first-term Democratic state representative in Colorado. On Friday, Salazar spoke on the state House floor in support of House Bill 13-1226, which would eliminate "the authority of a concealed handgun permit holder to possess a concealed handgun on the campus of an institution of high education." In other words, Salazar's bill would ban concealed firearms on college campuses in Colorado. Opponents of the proposed legislation maintain that banning concealed carry on campuses would make it harder for students to protect themselves against mass shooters and rapists on school grounds.
Salazar came down on the side of those who believe that more loaded guns on college campuses is a terrible idea.  
Salazar was labeled the new poster boy for the "real war on women," and painted as someone who denies women the right to protect themselves against sexual assault. He was portrayed as an out-of-touch, gun-stealing lefty who promoted blowing a whistle over actually fighting off an attack. Many also latched onto Salazar's "you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped," upgraded the meaning to something around the lines of, "women can't ever tell when they're about to get raped/getting raped," and voilà! New Todd Akin. 
"It's not 'rape-rape' until a male Dem gives his stamp of approval, you dumb broads," an anonymous staff writer wrote at this website founded by conservative pundit Michelle Malkin. Her site has been at the forefront of the Salazar-related uproar. Dana Loesch, Glenn Beck, Herman Cain's CainTV, folks at Fox News, and many others piled on accordingly.






No, Dana, the Colorado House Democrats are NOT waging a "War On Women."

























Her typical insults hurled at liberals/progressives.





Stop lying, Dana! YOU kept defending Akin's remarks (and later Mourdock's).

















































































































Dana, Democratic men are NOT "disenfranchising" women. GTFO with that lie!











Evan McMorris-Santoro at TPM has the truth on how the Salazar debacle unfolded:

Conservatives are calling a Colorado legislator the Democratic Todd Akin after he wandered into a discussion about rape while debating a gun control bill last week on the state House floor. 
State Rep. Joe Salazar (D), a first-term lawmaker, spoke up during a debate Friday over a bill that would ban concealed weapons from college campuses in Colorado. Gun rights advocates have pushed for more concealed carry permits on campuses in the years since the Virginia Tech shooting. In an apparent attempt to respond to concerns that the proposed law would leave women defenseless against rapists on campus, Salazar opined that fearful women may shoot first and ask questions later, putting men at risk.
“It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at,” Salazar said, according to a transcript of his remarks published by the Denver Post. “And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop a round at somebody.” 
Conservatives and gun rights activists pounced. 
But a clip of Salazar during the floor debate went viral on the conservative twitterscape as gun rights activists piled on. Akin’s name was raised more than once.


Conservative activists have reached yet another new low, folks…they managed to get the hashtag #LiberalTips2AvoidRape to become a trending topic on Twitter and made numerous highly offensive remarks about rape.  
Rape is an evil, disgusting act, and it’s not funny to make jokes about rape.

Dana Loesch baselessly attacks Colorado Rep. Joe Salazar (D)

The evil kook is at it again: Recently writing for fellow former CNN "contributor" Erick Erickson's RedState blog, callous RWNJ asshole Dana Loesch is peddling even more distortions on guns and women. The victim of Loesch's misleading lies: Colorado State Rep. Joe Salazar (D-COLD31) for defending rape whistles and supporting a concealed weapons ban on college campuses.

KDVR, Denver's FOX affiliate:

DENVER — First-year state Rep. Joe Salazar is apologizing for a statement during Friday’s debate over a concealed weapons ban on college campuses that has drawn the ire of conservatives across the blogosphere.
In arguing in favor of the ban, Salazar, D-Thornton, said that women on college campuses don’t need guns to feel that they’re safe. 
“It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles,” Salazar said on the House floor. “Because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at. And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop around at somebody.” 
“I’m sorry if I offended anyone. That was absolutely not my intention,” Salazar said. “We were having a public policy debate on whether or not guns makes people safer on campus. I don’t believe they do. That was the point I was trying to make. If anyone thinks I’m not sensitive to the dangers women face, they’re wrong.

But that only served to egg on the right-wing morons, such as Loesch and Malkin.

She wrote in her RedState blog her usual distortionist BS:
Chill, women, says Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar says that even if women feel like they’re going to be raped, they may not, so who needs a firearm for protection?  

This is the real “war on women” I’ve talked about: the progressive insistence that women disarm. Women, according to Rep. Salazar, are hysterical things which shoot indiscriminately at any and everything. 

This “feel like you’re going to be raped” nonsense is as poorly-worded as the “shut that whole thing down” drama from last fall. If Democrats don’t swiftly condemn this, I see this used as a tactic to showcase the vast lack of respect Democrats have for a woman’s right to self defense.
While she attacked Salazar, Loesch had the nerve to defend 2012 Senate candidate and former Congressman Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" remarks. BTW, Mrs. Liaresch, Salazar is NOT advocating "disarment" of women. She also falsely accused Democrats having a lack of respect for women.

Salazar claims to have a record of defending women’s rights but his actions to disenfranchise them of their Second Amendment rights are completely contradictory to that claim. One in four collegiate women report rape and one in five are raped. Salazar wants to deprive women of their right to defense with these odds? Just blow your rape whistles and pray that an attacker represents the “safe zone” boundaries? The best apology is a reversal of his war on women.
This claim by her is absolutely pants-on-fire false.


She took to Twitter to further demonize Salazar (and by extension, the Democratic Party):
















































































Dana Loesch, you are a disgrace to your own Goddamn gender and to gun owners!





































Another conservative loon on Twitter, @RichardRSmithJr, is making this the "Democrats have a full-blown Todd Akin on their hands" fallacy:








Fellow Colorado resident and deranged nutjob Michelle Malkin joined in on the Salazar-bashing:
As RedState reports, on Friday, Salazar argued against concealed carry on college campuses in favor of call boxes, whistles and “safe zones.” Why? Because you as a woman might “feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be” — better to head to the call box and let a man with a gun decide if the danger is real or not (if he shows up in time, that is).

You are such a crybaby, Dana! Get over it, and no, progressives/liberals/Democrats like Salazar are NOT "anti-gun", "anti-women", or "pro-rapist."
