Partisan hack Dana Loesch baselessly smears KSDK and SIUE professor Dr. Morris Taylor

Right-wing noisemaker partisan bastard Dana Loesch slanders terrorism expert Dr. Morris Taylor from SIUE for  having the gonads to suggest that the Boston Marathon bomings are the possibly the works of "right-wing extremists."

From the 04.15.2013 edition of KSDK's NewsChannel 5 at 10:


Loesch's propaganda site:

Hitler was a socialist and McVeigh was an anti-God statist inspired by the Turner Diaries. Is this professor ignorant of history?
I think KSDK, SIUE, and Taylor owe apologies for impugning half of KSDK’s viewership last night.


No, Dana, KSDK did NOT smear conservatives as you would like to allege. Also, Hitler was NOT anywhere near a "socialist", and McVeigh was a far-right loon.

Dana Loesch defends the sexist Oxycontin Smuggling Hypocrite's attacks on Sandra Fluke

In her articles at Big Journalism today, Dana Loesch continues her war on Fluke and made a big stink about "the left silencing Rush Limbaugh for speaking the truth."


Several readers sent along this link to a user-created petition calling on President Obama to kick Rush Limbaugh off the air. Admittedly, at first glance my thought was "whiskey tango foxtrot?" 
I wondered then, if the White House petition site would allow for a petition asking the President to lay off Limbaugh (#LayOffLimbaugh?)  

So I created a petition. Everyone can make one, right? Sign and spread the word. 
In a sane world, it is Sandra Fluke and not The Drugster that's telling the truth. 

The petition that has Limbaugh taken off of Armed Forces Radio currently (as of 8:20PM CST, 03.05.2012) has around 11,400+ signatures.

Contrast that with the one Loesch created, which has currently (as of 8:20PM CST, 03.05.2012) just over 100+ signatures.

She also whined about "not getting her Presidential call."



Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a "talk slut" and Laura Ingraham didn't receive a Presidential phone call. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was called a "bitch" by way of Fishbone's "Lyin' Ass Bitch" intro song on Jimmy Fallon's show and didn't receive a Presidential phone call. Michelle Malkin was called a "mashed-up bag of meat" by Keith Olbermann and she didn't receive a Presidental phone call. Sarah Palin was called a "c*nt" by Bill Maher and she didn't receive a Presidential phone call. 
Countless other conservative women, like myself, have over the past several days been threatened with death and rape on Twitter and in email if we ask why we should pay for another woman's contraception. We didn't get Presidential phone calls. Why? Because Barack Obama can't use us to make an argument for birth control to hide his attack on the First Amendment.  
A show debuted recently called "GCB," changed to such after the outcry over its full title, "Good Christian Bitches." Where's the Presidential phone call to good Christian women?
Where is the Presidential phone call to all of the women who may have been offended by the recent "Slut Walks?"  
It's why this outrage is phony. If progressives were truly consistent and genuine, they would be offended at all variations of the use, and not just when it's used by their side. If the media wasn't to blatant in their efforts to run defense for the Obama administration, they'd note this, as well.
That being said, where's my phone call? 



Grow up, Dana! Progressives and liberals have in fact called Schultz to the carpet for his sexist rhetoric against Laura Ingraham and apologized for it immediately, unlike a certain right-wing radio host who repeatedly savaged Sandra Fluke and "apologized" only when he began losing sponsors. And ABC's GCB gives a proper insight on how certain members of the Christian Right act like hypocrites.

Limbaugh's show has been kicked off of two radio stations so far (KPUA in Hilo, Hawaii was the first one and WBEC in Pittsfield, Massachusetts is the second) and likely more to come. Bain Capital, the company that 2012 Republican Party Presidential candidate Mitt Romney once ran, is the partial owner of Clear Channel (who broadcasts his show along with others on the right such as Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and even left-leaning Randi Rhodes, via subsidiary Premiere Radio Networks) and one of two minority share owners of primarily NBC/Comcast-owned The Weather Channel.
