Follow-Up to Shriver vs. Loesch/Breitbart (100th post at DanaBusted)

Today, our friend at the St. Louis Activist Hub Adam Shriver released videos of Toilet Mouth and Senile Liar Dana Loesch telling blatant lies to her followers at the Move-On-Up Conference this past weekend. As we detailed here a day or two ago with the full video and information of Shriver confronting her and Andrew Breitbart-- which Shriver won. Meanwhile, Loesch was making up phony as hell claims such as "That WashU Stalker Blogger Adam Shriver was stalking my kids," "Shriver used WashU resources to defame me and other Teabaggers," and more ridiculous shit along those lines.

Here's Shriver's take on the follow-up:
A few clarifications about the press conference. First, the NAACP was one of the groups at the press conference, but the conference itself was actually composed of several different groups. Zaki Baruti, the guy who made the "Uncle Tom" comments because he believed that Gladney was faking his injuries and attacking the NAACP as a direct result of the fact that tea party and Breitbart's sites were continuously raising money for Gladney, might be a member of the local NAACP, but he's more commonly associated with the United African People's Organization (UAPO).

I distinctly remember being uncomfortable with the term, and in fact the video Breitbart's sites used to claim that the NAACP was "racist" proves that I did not laugh at the claim. In the video, I'm sitting immediately to the left of Zaki (from the viewer's perspective), and it's obvious that I don't laugh when he uses the terms "negro" or "Uncle Tom:"


It's pretty despicable for CNN contributor Dana Loesch to accuse someone of racism based on a completely dishonest claim about a video, but that's exactly what she does.

St. Louis's Most Despicable Toxic Liar falsely claims that "Shriver is a paid SEIU thug blogger."

So what's the evidence for this claim? Loesch says that SEIU "called me their blogger" at the same press conference referred to above. Actually, there were no employees from SEIU at the conference. Elston McCowan and Perry Molens were both former members of SEIU, and here's the video Loesch was basing her claims on.

McCowan and Molens were right, and Delusional Loesch was wrong.








Loesch falsely accuses Shriver of stalking her and her kids:
When I ask her what evidence she has for this obnoxious claims, she responsds, "you've clicked on the site where my children are at." Based on conversations with other tea partiers, I know that this obnoxious claim from Loesch comes from the fact that one time, after Loesch tweeted a link to her Mommy blog from her political twitter account, I linked to that post in one of my blog posts. You can read my post here.

It's pretty amazing that CNN allows their name to be dragged into the mud and slime by paying Loesch as a "political analyst."




These clips are all proof that Dana Loesch is an ultra-right wing psycho. And why would Emmis (who owns KFTK, KHITS, KPNT, and KSHE in the St. Louis market) lets her spew her filth on two stations (KFTK [her home station] and WIBC) for 2 hours per day, 10 hours per week, called The Dana Show? Why in God's name does CNN continue to allow her on the air as a paid "contributor" to say disgusting, false, and loonytunes statements without challenge?

This is the blog's 100th blogpost, which started about a year ago.

On CNN Newsroom, Loesch says "Mosques should have to disclose any ties that go against the USA"

On today's CNN Newsroom, St. Louis's leading hate jock Dana Loesch went on the air and made this statement: "Mosques should disclose if they have "ties to any organizations that present a conflict of interest to US security." This type of Islamophobic villianization is on par for someone loonytunes like Loesch.

Transcript:


PHILLIPS: Checking top stories now. The heat is unrelenting. The National Weather Service declaring excessive heat warnings for 14 states. The humidity can make it feel as hot as 126 in some places, and it's extending all the way through the Midwest. No deaths have been reported so far.

Former "News of the World" Rebekah Brooks will testify as scheduled tomorrow before British lawmakers investigating illegal eavesdropping by journalists. Brooks was arrested and released over the weekend.

President Obama says talks will continue this week, but top Republicans say they still need more specifics on deficit reduction before agreeing to anything. In a new twist Moody's, the big credit rating agency, says that the U.S. would be better off if it did away with the debt ceiling entirely. Lawmakers have an August 2nd deadline to get that deal done.

All right, "Political Buzz," your rapid fire look at the hottest political topics of the day. Three questions and 20 seconds on the clock and playing today, Democratic strategist Maria Cardona, Sirius XM political talk show host and comedian Pete Dominick and CNN contributor and talk show radio host Dana Loesch.

First question, you guys, this hour, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates sitting down with President Obama. What kind of advice should they give the president to solve the debt impasse? Dana --

DANA LOESCH, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: Goodness, have the Senate Democrats come up with some sort of balanced budget amendment or come up with specific cuts that they can make in these debt talks. That's one of the things that we're missing.

Realistic, big-time cuts that were actually going to have a difference aside from the pettily $2 trillion, where only in D.C. would $2 trillion sound like a nothing amount.

PHILLIPS: The pettily $2 trillion, Maria.

MARIA CARDONA, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST: I think what they'll do, Kyra, is continue to urge this president to stand strong on wanting to keep tax revenues, new revenues into whatever deal. They have been saying for many, many, many years that they are -- that people like them can and should be paying more because any deal needs to be fair and balanced. Most Americans agree with that.

PHILLIPS: Pete.

PETE DOMINICK, SIRIUS-XM POLITICAL TALK SHOW HOST: Well, maybe Bill Gates could tell the president how to design a revolutionary new operating system that would dominate all computers.

Short of that, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have taken advantage of all these tax loopholes that President Obama wants to close. These guys know better than anyone how to take advantage of them. They should tell the president what they use, and maybe he could address those issues right now.

PHILLIPS: All right, guys, GOP candidate Herman Cain says a community should be able to prevent building a mosque in their neighborhood. Is this kind of thinking presidential? Dana.

LOESCH: Well, really quickly, 55 percent of American oppose tax hikes in the debt ceiling talks. But according to -- going along with Herman Cain's discussion here, I'm against mob rule.

But I believe that any sort of mosque that's built in a community needs to disclose whether or not it has ties to any organizations that present a conflict of interest to American security. I think that two-way street is fair, so hopefully we can have more of that in the future.

PHILLIPS: Maria.

CARDONA: It is as far from presidential you can get. It's downright shameful. Would he ask the same of Christians, of Buddhists, of Hindus, of Jewish people wanting to build those kinds of institutions and places of worship in their communities?

He is in essence equating American Muslims, Americans in their community with al Qaeda and with Osama Bin Laden, downright shameful.

PHILLIPS: Pete.

DOMINICK: This is so stupid and insulting. Herman Cain and anybody who shares this kind of idea that says you can't build a house of worship is a joke. It's insulting.

I'm no fan of religion myself, but this is too sad. He actually has a lot of executive experience. He should focus on that. Muslims have helped disrupt every plot in America. We need to be their friend, not their enemies and that's exactly what he's doing.

PHILLIPS: All right, guys, your buzzer beater. Ten seconds each. Sarah Palin's movie is out for all to see this weekend. Her big competition is Harry Potter. What would you rather see, Maria? CARDONA: I would rather see Harry Potter. If I was a fan of horror movies, I go see Sarah Palin's movie because I'm sure it's going to be downright scary. It would give me nightmares for days.

PHILLIPS: Dana.

LOESCH: That's so classy. I'm going to see the Sarah Palin movie obviously, but I'm also going to see the Harry Potter because I have two boys. I have to. I'm obligated to.

PHILLIPS: Pete.

DOMINICK: Well, one movie has really made us familiar with a character who developed over three years and helped people who are very religious and lack certain critical thinking skills. I really am attracted to that, but the other movie centers around a wizard. So -

(BUZZER)

DOMINICK: I'm not sure. I think it's a win-win.

PHILLIPS: Thanks, guys, for weighing in.
The other two panelists, Maria Cardona and Pete Dominick, went against Loesch's insane view of Muslims and the rabidly Islamophobic Herman Cain.

From the 07.18.2011 edition of CNN Newsroom:



Last week, she and her toadies were whining about the Kenneth Gladney verdict not going their way, and not even the 2 Teahadist judges weren't buying Gladney's excuses. Loesch was using the Gladney story in order to preach anti-Union views to her audience.

More Dana Loesch insanity

We got even more Dana Loesch insanity for you: My earlier blogpost says that Loesch should be fired from Emmis. She WILL the The Big Tool of the Week and likely Assclown on the Week.

Adam Shriver of the St. Louis Activist Hub had this:

More From Loesch: If MoveOn.org Was "Chivalrous," They Wouldn't Let Women Attend Political Events

I wrote earlier about how horrible human being Dana Loesch demanded that a MoveOn activist apologize for having her head stomped on by an angry Rand Paul supporter while being held on the ground by other Paulites.

Now Loesch is doubling down, claiming that MoveOn wasn't "chivalrous" because they didn't prevent a woman from attending a political debate:



She's still harping about "'Union Thugs' beating up Gladney" nonsense.

Adam Shriver of the St. Louis Activist Hub calls her bullshit out.
Dana Loesch, who really does not actually know very much about the Kenneth Gladney case (as evidenced by her embarrassing attacks on a local county counselor), has recently been spreading more verifiable misinformation about the altercation. Pointing out some of these falsehoods will serve as a nice reminder of some of the main flaws in treating the police report on the incident as gospel. In fact, the police report contains several falsehoods and is based entirely on the testimony of biased tea party activists. As stated by someone arguing with Loesch on Twitter:

The record that debunks Dana's lies: http://www.scribd.com/doc/31481339/Records-Letter

Even more nonsense from Liar Loesch claiming that "Conservatives got beaten up for being Conservative."

That, as we will see, is particularly salient in this case, but first I'll focus on some of Loesch's specific falsehoods. For starters, Loesch repeatedly claimed that Kelly Owens was "beaten" and "punched in the face." And, in fact, the police report also states that Owens was hit in the face. However, in an extended video from the night that includes Owens being interviewed by the police, Owens specifically responds, when asked by the police where she was hit, that her camera was hit which in turn hit her face. So she was not "punched in the face," and she certainly was not "beaten." Now, I'm certainly not saying that Cheryl Joiner's act of hitting Owens' camera was OK. Joiner was wrong to do that and I'm glad that charges were filed. However, to claim that a simple act of slapping a camera is the same thing as beating someone or punching them in the face, and specifically as being in the same category as stomping on a woman's neck, is just plain wrong.

So, just to review:

  • We have at least three central claims in the police report being directly contradicted by video evidence from the scene or later interviews with the same witnesses.
  • We also have only three "witnesses" who didn't actually witness the fight starting and who all happen to be tea partiers with clear ideological agendas.
  • And finally we have a ridiculous arrest of Post-Dispatch reporter Jake Wagman by the same police during the same events.

  • Show Me Progress had this to say:

    The only thing I've seen from St. Louis Tea Party blogs on the brutal attack on the MoveOn supporter at the Rand Paul rally was a couple of posts by Jim Hoft essentially claiming that Paul supporters were forced to drag the woman to the ground and step on her head.
    Loesch wants to start trouble on her BigJournalism blog:

    If she didn’t want to be restrained she shouldn’t have gone with the intent to start trouble, but congressional members also need to provide their own security. Sure, the man shouldn’t have placed his foot on her head. Me writing that just now is more than Soros employees Eric Boehlert and his Soros crew over at Media Matters will ever say on Kenneth Gladney and Kelly Owens, two victims of actual violence. They’re too busy defending the people who beat them, mocking and slurring the victims. Boehlert is terrified to touch the subject of Kelly Owens’ beating because he’s more concerned with making sure he remains popular amongst an organization that would condone the beating of women and minorities.



    People like this fraudster Dana Loesch are the scum of the earth and should go to Hell. I hear there's a room for her down there next to Breitfart and James O'Keefe. Also, for any aspiring musician in St. Louis, boycott Shock City Music because it is owned by Dana's jerkass husband, Chris.

    Loesch cries like a baby about Juan "Fake Democrat" Williams

    STL Tea Party hack Dana Loesch wants to defund NPR, saying that it is a "Socialist, conservative-Hating partisan radio station."

    Adam Shriver of the St. Louis Activist Hub warned about that behavior from her:

    Dana Loesch Wants to Defund NPR

    I just thought all the moderates and sane conservatives would want to know that.

    Dana Loesch had this tweet calling for NPR's defunding:
    Sorry, but when you're a force-funded station and you routinely smear conservatives and fire people for speech ... #DefundNPR
    PBS all white ... NPR hates conservatives ... screw government funded radio and television.



    Well, Ms.Loesch, the NPR will NOT be defunded unless the Repubs take it back, and that's scary if they do. She had a huge hissyfit over NPR's firing of Juan Williams on yesterday's The Dana Show.

    Lines are packed. Inbox is exploding. People are outraged over @npr and Juan Williams, the last of true classical liberals.
    She tried to claim that Juan Williams was a "classical Liberal," but that claim was false as he was behaving like a Fixed Noise stooge, even on NPR for several years now, just like Mara Liasson.

    BTW, Ben Evans lost the debate.


    Dana STILL won't let go of NCAAP/"Union Thugs" beating up Gladney falsehoods, and likely won't.
    NAACP kicks cameras from presser, lies abt Gladney presser, and refuses to repudiate documented NAACP racism http://bit.ly/9naMTl

    ===
    Loesch is also misleadingly claiming that the "Democrats are stealing elections as usual."
    I think we need as many poll watchers as possible to prevent more DOJ cover-ups.


    The ones that steal elections are the Republicans, like what happened with Bush/Gore/Nader in 2000 in Florida and Ohio in 2004, plus countless other elections.

    ==
    For the love of Christ, grow up and quit being a 4th grader, Dana! This woman has called me a "momma's basement troll," when in fact I do not even live with my mother and doesn't even have a basement. This woman has threatened to put a restraining order on me for simply calling her out on her bullshit.

    Dana Loesch being a racist yet again, lying about the NAACP

    In today's BigJournalism (aka BigFraudulism) entry by Teabagger Dana Loesch, she falsely claims that the NAACP are "racists". Let's not forget her pal Jim Hoft's own problems on this topic.

    The NAACP is back again with yet another attempt to defame and smear the multicultural tea party movement.

    Strike 1: July 2010 the NAACP’s demand for tea party racism repudiation fell flat when video emerged the day before showing an NAACP press conference where the victim of a racially-motivated crime was mocked, called an “uncle Tom,” slurred, and had his melanin content questioned.
    trike 2: The NAACP releases teapartytracker.org, a website devoted to all things tea party extremist.

    NAACP “proof” of tea party extremism:

    Picture 2

    Picture 1

    Still no word from the NAACP on BushHitler.

    STRIKE 3: The NAACP realized their mistake with the last statement and this time brought in the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights. The IREHR is a group comprised of liberal journalists and activists who are led by ideology and seek to use their bias against conservatives as a fulcrum to further push apart the country. I would bet that most – I really believe all but I’m being generous – have never been to a tea party event like UCLA grad student Emily Ekins.


    Yes, I remember that when a far-left “reporter” asked the SPLC to comment on local television if they thought that I and St. Louis Tea Party Co-Founder Bill Hennessy were Klansmen because of our belief in more individual liberty.

    You get the idea.

    In St. Louis the local NAACP sent out a press release – yes, the same NAACP who publicly mocked and used slurs against Kenneth Gladney, the man beaten in the parking lot of a Russ Carnahan townhall by SEIU workers (Kelly Owens was punched in the face, police witnesses, on camera, by a woman with SEIU) and essentially stated at their press conference that Gladney wasn’t black enough for the NAACP’s help.

    What Loesch did was make excuses for White Supremacy.

    Today's TeaPartyNationalism.com report had this regarding the STL Tea Party:
    The St. Louis Tea Party passed a resolution which included language that: “The very term ‘racist’ has diminished meaning due to its overuse by political partisans including members of the NAACP.”240
    Must Read: Tea Party Nationalism Report

    It is here, at the conjunction of nativism, opposition to birthright citizenship, the denigration
    of President Obama, and the fear of the new majority in American life, that the unstated racism
    embedded within the Tea Parties becomes vocal and unmistakable.

    This is further proof that she is deliberately race-baiting to provoke her fanbase.

    = UPDATE: She labeled me as a "Liberal momma's basement stalker" and this blog as "mommasbasement.blogspot.com". the real url for this site is danabusted.blogspot.com.

    LOESCH: "...They had it all, you guys, they had it all. They're gonna need therapy, and I don't get yous all too optimistic and not vote. I want to win and leave corpses in my wake. Let's see how that's spun on mommasbasement.blogspot.com. Imagine-- you know why I say that are like, wait a minute, 'I play that game.' I'm not talking about you guys, being that because that you are Conservative and all, obviously have lives, girlfriends, and get laid. So you have children, family, and all of that, so it's okay. I'm not talking about you. You guys know who I'm talking about: mommasbasement.blogspot.com. That's not even a real url. Someone's gonna create it. I'm positive.
