Fake "Christian" Homophobic Extremist Dana Loesch defends odiously anti-LGBTQ Arizona SB1062

Crass homophobic idiot Dana Loesch has defended Arizona's odious SB1062 bill that discriminates against LGBTQ folks, a bill that BOTH of Arizona's GOP Senators (McCain and Flake) and 2012 GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney want vetoed, along with many businesses and the Super Bowl Committee.

Arizona's Republican Governor Jan Brewer is almost certainly expected to veto the bill, which should render the bill dead; however, SB1062 still could get potentially passed via a veto override of 2/3rds of both the House and Senate of that state.

Tim Peacock at Peacock Panache:
Should non-religious businesses operating in the private market be forced to serve the public regardless of race, religion, veteran status, disability, etc.? That's the issue conservative radio host Dana Loesch addressed on Twitter last night as she discussed Arizona's controversial SB 1062 - deemed the 'license to discriminate' act. Despite massive conservative resistance to the legislation, the ever-controversial Loesch still seems to believe (and promote) the concept that business owners should be able to refuse service not just to LGBT people, but to anyone they want. 

Over the course of several tweets to her official Twitter account last night, she laid out her argument stating at one point that it is "Truly shocking how many people think that the government has the right to force another person to use their talents for state decree." She continued, "I'd support the right of a gay baker to refuse the Westboro cult a cake. Their labor, their choice. This is freedom." 

As most people are aware, the latter would be in violation of Title II of the Civil Rights Act's prohibition on religious discrimination in places of public accommodation; but that's the point of her hyperbolic argument though. By taking the idea of being allowed to refuse service to its absolute extreme, Loesch hopes her attempts to attack the civil rights of everyday LGBT citizens in Arizona won't seem crass and overstated. She wants to seem like the hero in defending the very same arguments used by Jim Crow era segregationists. 


This is not surprising, given her anti-LGBTQ animus that she has displayed in the past.

3rd Day of Dana Loesch scapegoating Muslims and Obama for the US Embassy bombings

Yesterday was the 3rd day in a row that Dana Loesch continued her scapegoating on Obama, Democrats, and Muslims for the attacks against US Embassies in Libya, Egypt, and Yemen. She also is still defending Romney's highly controversial critique of President Obama.

Even more of her ignorant lie-filled tweets:


























And Dana's hubby Chris Loesch jumped in as well:




Loesch's preposterous lie from Big Peace: "State Dept Denied Marines From Carrying Live Ammo At Cairo Embassy"


Did the State Department ban Marines from carrying ammo at the U.S. embassy in Cairo? That's what some are reporting, as well as claiming our Ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, had forbidden it.  
At least Marines were present at the embassy in Cairo; despite initial reports, Marines weren't present at our Libyan consulate and Libyan security hired to protect out ambassador gave him up to protesters.
How many other of our embassies lack adequate protection? 

Media Matters Senior Fellow and Loesch's top nemesis Eric Boehlert calls her out on the falsehood on the US Marines:


On Big Journalism Wednesday, Loesch provides cover for Romney's gaffes while blaming Obama:

MSM was furious with Mitt Romney today after he issued a strongly-worded condemnation of the state department's initial apology and today criticized the Obama administration for attempting to placate our attackers. Romney didn't apologize. He condemned. More importantly, he led. It was a move that shamed President Obama by comparison.  
Media went into overdrive to protect Obama, their political investment. Politifact brought out three "apology" experts to help lay the groundwork for Obama to deflect. Multiple outlets attempted to reframe the focus on Romney's response, which they chided, as opposed to Obama's foreign policy fumble and his failure to fortify embassies abroad leading up to September 11th. Romney held a press conference and took questions whereas Obama refused questions and flew to campaign in Vegas. 
Media ignores the recklessness of this administration. The curtain separating the legend of media objectivity from the truth of its propaganda will be shredded if this administration loses its reelection bid. Media is now propaganda. If Obama loses it's not just a referendum on him, it's a rejection of legacy media's mass-market propaganda. 
This evening Obama remarked that Romney "shoots first, aims later." Interesting, coming from someone incapable of aiming. Obama skipped a a week's worth of intel briefings leading up to the attacks -- in fact, he's missed half of his daily intelligence briefings.  
 The media cares more about winning an election for the Democrat incumbent than anything else, more than the basic principles of its responsibility. 

Of course, Dana is lying in order to defend Romney, which was widely condemned outside of RWNJ/#TCOT-land, and even some prominent Republicans, such as former Homeland Security director Tom Ridge, fellow 2012 GOP Presidential candidate and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, and Joe Scarborough, a former Congressman who represented Florida's 1st Congressional District and is now the main host of MSNBC's Morning Joe, have gone after Romney. In fact, Romney has made himself into a a dumbass over his anti-Obama comments about Libya.

WaPo's Eugene Robinson has a brutal takedown of Tricky Mitt:


I mean, Mitt Romney. Really. U.S. diplomatic posts are attacked abroad, and your first reaction is to issue a statement blasting the president? J. Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other officials are killed in a commando-style assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and your instinct is to seek not safety for other Americans at risk, not justice for the cold-blooded killers, but political advantage for yourself? 
Romney’s rushed statement Tuesday night calling the Obama administration’s response to the violence “disgraceful” was a new low in a campaign already scraping bottom. And Romney’s subsequent decision to double down on the attack, even as Americans mourned the first killing of an ambassador since 1979 and officials began investigating what now looks like a well-planned terrorist attack . . . well, I guess this whole performance says a lot about what kind of man Romney is. 
The most charitable explanation is that he’s in a panic over polls that show Obama opening a lead. If this is not the case, then Romney’s ignorance of foreign policy is more profound — and potentially dangerous — than anyone could have suspected.
But international affairs are different. For one thing, there is general consensus that at times of crisis, the United States must speak with one voice. Most Republicans, even some of Obama’s most adamant foes, have respected this tradition. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) both issued measured statements recognizing that this is a moment for patriotism, not politics.
More important is the fact that words spoken in the heat of international crisis can have life-or-death impact. Romney’s ostensible complaint was that Obama should have spoken up more clearly for American values — presumably, in this case, freedom of speech.



The "movie" was an excuse and the attack on our Libyan consulate was planned, claims one paper. 
The killings of the US ambassador to Libya and three of his staff were likely to have been the result of a serious and continuing security breach, The Independent can reveal. 
The State Department had 48 hours advance warning of the attacks and did nothing. Nothing. Sensitive documents have now gone missing and the names of brave Libyans working with the United States have been exposed to the mobs who would kill them.
Foreign policy President, indeed.
More proof that Loesch is a craven liar.

Loesch still attacking Obama and Muslims, defends Romney on Libya and Egypt

As the Libya and Egypt stories continue to dominate the news cycle, Islamophobic wingnut Dana Loesch continues to blame Muslims and Obama for the attacks in Libya and Egypt, while defending Romney's insensitive and defamatory anti-Obama attacks about the Libyan bombing incident.


Loesch's senile lie-filled tweets:

































President Obama finally remarked upon the attacks on our consulate in Libya -- but was silent on the attack on our embassy in Egypt -- and stressed the importance of not disrespecting religion in his speech, something he's newly concerned about:

While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.

It's interesting that only when Islamists riot is Obama concerned for religious respect. I assume that Islam is excluded from what is called his 'war on religion' as he's never before shown any concern for the denigration of other faiths. 
Not only is Obama warring against religion at home, but now with this statement, he's warring against free speech. Islamists don't have the right to not be offended. 



Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood leader, Mohamed Morsi, wants to use the American legal system to suppress the free speech of those who criticize Islam.  
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi asked the Egyptian embassy in Washington to take legal action in the United States against makers of a film attacking the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, the official state news agency said on Wednesday.
Morsi had requested the mission take "all legal measures", the MENA agency said, without giving further details on what that might involve. 
I'm not quite sure what Morsi's argument is here: is he suggesting that the film somehow defames Islam or will show Islam in a negative light? Because I'm pretty sure that the Islamists burning down consulates and killing Americans do a better job of "defaming" Islam than a film someone makes about the faith. 




The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff today called Terry Jones to tell the pastor to stop promoting the film "Innocence of Muslims" that may or may not exist (there are but two clips on Youtube, screenshot above) and may or may not have been produced by a group of Coptic Christians living in the United States. No one has any idea really, but they are sure of this: a movie that may or may not exist done by some people who can't completely be identified has sparked people who already attacked our Libyan consulate to do it again.  
The Obama administration has called General Martin Dempsey to put a stop to Terry Jones in an effort to quell the Islamist violence. Why Jones? Because he's apparently promoting the film, but not as much as the Islamists talking about it.  
Just when you thought that the Obama administration couldn't bungle up the debacle any more after apologizing, they send a member of the military to tell private citizens to disregard the rule of law, free speech, in our country in favor of the sharia favored by the ruling party in Egypt. Make no mistake, that's exactly what this is: and now Morsi wants to engage in lawfare to further squelch free speech concerning Islam, a tenet of sharia.
It's disturbing that our government has shown they will go right along with it. 

While the Muslim Brotherhood calls for more protests, just months ago the Obama administration had endorsed them in Egypt's elections. 

All of this is more proof that Loesch is a far-right loon who hates Muslims and Obama in order to defend Romney at all costs.


The REAL facts about Romney's Libya and Egypt remarks, from AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The gunfire at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, had barely ceased when Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney seriously mischaracterized what had happened in a statement accusing President Barack Obama of "disgraceful" handling of violence there and at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
In fact, neither a statement by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo earlier in the day nor a later statement from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton offered sympathy for attackers. The statement from the Cairo Embassy had condemned anti-Muslim religious incitement before the embassy walls were breached. In her statement, issued minutes before Romney's, Clinton had offered the administration's first response to the violence in Libya, explicitly condemning the attack there and confirming the death of a State Department official.
"I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today," Clinton said in a written statement received by The Associated Press at 10:08 p.m. "As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss."
It wasn't until Wednesday morning, when the U.S. confirmed the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, that Romney's team recognized the severity of the situation - and that, the night before, it had opened itself up to criticism for politicizing a diplomatic crisis.

Rabid Islamophobe Dana Loesch uses the Libyan and Egyptian attacks on US embassies to demonize Obama and Muslims

Today, on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks (and her conversion from liberalism to conservatism), rabidly Islamophobic radio host and CNN "contributor" Dana Loesch uses the attacks on US embassies in Libya and Egypt to blame it on Obama, Democrats, and Muslims. She even had the gall to attack the POTUS for "snubbing Israel's leader Netanyahu."

She wrote four articles on breitbart.com's blogs to attack Obama and Muslims for it and falsely accusing Obama of "apologizing to terrorists":
After an angry mob stormed the U.S. embassy in Cairo and tore down the American flag, the embassy apologized for provoking the mob and condemned the free speech back across the Atlantic which hurt the mob's feelings.
The AP says the protesters were largely ultra-conservative Islamists.
Iran's FARS news agency says the film is the work of a group of "extremist" members of the Egyptian Coptic Church in the United States.
Al Ahram online says the film is reportedly being produced by U.S.-based Coptic-Christian Egyptians, including Esmat Zaklama and Morees Sadek, with the support of the Terry Jones Church in the United States.
Jones is the evangelical pastor who stirred controversy last year by threatening to burn a Quran in public.
CNN says the film in question is a Dutch production.
Of course, this is from an administration who endorsed Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's new leading political party who not only fosters an abuse of women, oppression of Coptic Christians, murder of gays for existing, and crucifixion of political opponents and will be welcoming their leader, President Morsi, to Washington D.C. this month. 
Egypt's ruling party, the extremist Muslim Brotherhood, blasted the United States after an angry Islamist mob stormed the U.S. embassy's walls and shredded an American flag over alleged offenses in a film that no one can name.
Why hasn't President Obama or the state department demanded that Egypt control its angry mob? It would seem we're the ones owed an apology after they stormed our embassy's walls and tore our flag.
That our administration still treats a religious group like a political party only further exacerbates the problem. 

The President spent the somber 11th anniversary of 9/11 with his admin apologizing to Islamists when they disrespectfully desecrated our flag on 9/11, and snubbing Binyamin Netanyahu.

It is so far the only death from mob attacks in Libya and Egypt over Islamist anger at an alleged film in production by Coptic Christians focusing on Islam. The United States spent 9/11 apologizing for hurting Islamists' feelings in Egypt which incited protesters to desecrate our flag and storm the walls of the U.S. embassy.
Afterwards, President Obama rejected a meeting with Binyamin Netanyahu, saying that his schedule was full, the same day he announced another appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman."
Those four articles posted are proof that Loesch will do anything to marginalize Muslims and Obama at all costs.


Loesch did more demonizing of Obama and Muslims on Twitter.










Of course, Mitt Romney, GOP's nominee for President, used this attack as an excuse to attack Obama.

CNN:

(CNN) - Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Tuesday issued a paper statement sharply critical of President Barack Obama over his handling of violence in the Middle East earlier in the day.
“I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said in the statement. "It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”




The US Embassy of Cairo, OTOH, has condemned the attacks on the US Embassy of Egypt:


And the US Department of State condemned the attacks on both Libya and Egypt:

Loesch defends Romney's Birther "joke" on her radio show

On this afternoon's edition of The Dana Show,  Romney shill and certain Birther hypocrite Dana Loesch defended Romney's Birther "joke" at a campaign stop in Florida.

From the 08.24.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:

LOESCH: What is that shrieking that you hear? Do you hear that? What is that? I think Joe Biden would call it, like, squealing pigs, wouldn't he? That's the left collectively losing their minds because ZOMG, ZOMG-BBQ! Mitt Romney made a joke. He made a joke. The left doesn't -- the left likes to have a sense of humor except when it comes to conservatives. When it comes to conservatives, we are no longer funny. We have no humor after conservatives talk. He was just making a joke. The Obama campaign sells mugs with birth certificates on them on their website. Give me a break. You people need to stop being all uptight. Did you just say you people? 


The facts that Loesch neglected to mention to her listeners, via TPM's Evan McMorris-Santoro:

The Obama campaign swiftly and harshly condemned a joke made by Mitt Romney about the president’s birth certificate on the campaign trail in Michigan Friday, saying Romney made the “decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement.” 
“I love being home, in this place where Ann and I were raised, where but the both of us were born,” Romney said after introducing his wife, fellow Michigan native Ann Romney. “No one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place where we were born and raised.” 
“Throughout this campaign, Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them. It’s one thing to give the stage in Tampa to Donald Trump, Sheriff [Joe] Arpaio, and Kris Kobach,” Obama spokesperson Ben LaBolt said in a statement. “But Governor Romney’s decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America.”

Even more GOP shilling from Dana Loesch: The Paul Ryan and Todd Akin edition

This past week, supposed "Independent Conservative" and GOP stenographer Dana Loesch was caught shilling for at least two Republicans this week: Mitt Romney's VP choice Paul Ryan (R-WI01) and Claire McCaskill's opponent Todd Akin.

First, the new VP candidate Ryan:

Big Journalism:

The biggest criticism of the Romney campaign has been its lackluster way of dealing with the media. No one understood the battle with the media better than the late Andrew Breitbart, who foresaw that our candidates would be running against headlines rather than Obama. The addition of Paul Ryan to the ticket has given us a sigh of relief, because if there's one thing we know about Paul Ryan: the man can handle the media. 


Wrong, Dana, Ryan can't handle tough questions from non-Conservative/Corporate media sources and spins his way into lies.


Big Government:


Mitt Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as his vice presidential pick shows a deliberate move to re-energize the campaign, appeal to younger voters, and those who want to fix the economy regardless of party. It also signals a huge shift not yet seen from the Romney campaign: a long-anticipated move towards grassroots.
Paul Ryan is heavily favored by Wisconsin grassroots. He's rallied with them across the state as they fought off special interests to save their gubernatorial ticket and keep forward on the path of fiscal reform. He made himself accessible to citizen journalists for interviews and encouraged them to keep on target. 


Ryan favored by the grassroots?! Hell no! He's about an 1%er insider as they come. I sure hope Rob Zerban wins the WI-01 General Election, so Ryan can have a double whammy.


Big Government:


Wisconsin's state motto is "Forward." It may be President Obama's campaign motto too, but it's the "cheeseheads" who have truly embodied it. Last June, Wisconsin took a big step forward when voters fought back and reelected Scott Walker, Rebecca Kleefisch, and a slate of state legislators over union and special interests. The election was a warning flag for November. Obama lost the public sector union battle in Wisconsin and now Wisconsin is bringing the fight to his doorstep in the form of a smiling, mild-mannered debate wunderkind named Paul Ryan.
The selection of someone like Ryan reflects a concerted effort to infuse a grassroots vibe into the campaign -- and possibly some Wisconsin schadenfreude, too. 

Hey, Mrs. Mamalogues, Paul Ryan and his policy ideas are unfit for America, such as wanting to end Medicare and Medicaid (despite what Michelle Malkin-run Twitchy and the RWNJ noise machine say otherwise).  

Secondly and lastly, her home state's (Missouri) extremist kook Todd Akin for US Senate against McCaskill:


Big Government:

Claire McCaskill's campaign wasted no time in attacking Todd Akin after his senate primary win. This evening McCaskill sent an email to supporters claiming that Akin is a "dangerous" tea party extremist. 
This coming from McCaskill, a Senator so far removed from the will of her people that after she championed for Obamacare in Missouri, 76% of voters voted to repudiate it via Proposition C. Prop C, or the Health Care Freedom Act, was the first legislative challenge to Obamacare.  
McCaskill again rubber-stamped the Obama agenda when she sided with him against Missouri jobs and coal by voting in favor of the MACT rule and effectively shutting the doors of numerous coal plants. McCaskill once claimed she hated coal, odd considering she represents a big coal state, the industry of which employs thousands. McCaskill has rubber-stamped the Obama agenda on most every policy that would adversely affect Missouri coal and jobs.  
McCaskill cheerleads for an administration that has quadrupled the deficit, run women from the job pool, and devalued the dollar, while trying to persuade seniors that the government knows best how handle their social security.


Excuse me, Dana?! Last time I checked, it's TODD AKIN that's been a rubber stamp for the 1%ers, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, Christian Conservative organizations, NRA, War On Women, and the Koch Brothers Agendas. McCaskill is nowhere close to an "Obama/Reid rubber stamp," despite what Loesch claims.



Here's the real facts about the radical far-right agenda of US Senate Candidate Akin:

Akin has had ties to Radical Right Christian groups and figures, such as the deceased Dr. D. James Kennedy.

Zach Beauchamp at Think Progress:
GOP Representative and Missouri Senate Candidate Todd Akin has a long history of extremism, particularly with respect to the role of religion in public life. As it turns out, that shouldn’t be much of a suprise: one of Akin’s principal political influences appears to be Reverend D. James Kennedy, a minister who spent his life organizing a movement dedicated to reorganizing the American government along radically conservative evangelical lines. 
Though he died in 2007, Kennedy is respected throughout the GOP, and was particularly influential on Akin’s worldview. According to a Politico profile of Akin, “[t]wo sermons by Dr. D. James Kennedy have been very influential for Todd and he references them frequently in discussions of government.” Akin told Kennedy’s Truth in Action (formerly Coral Gables Ministries) organization that “Dr. Kennedy understood how to connect the principles of Scripture with the practical applications of what keeps a nation free, the principles that America was founded on.” Akin also co-sponsored a resolution last year that “honors Dr. Kennedy’s lifetime of service and sacrifice to his God, his country, [and] the ideals of the Christian faith.”



Alex Seitz-Wald at Salon on Akin's ties to militia groups:

Missouri Rep. Todd Akin, who won the Republican Senate nomination just this week, is already on the defensive about a recently resurfaced letter he wrote praising a militia group in 1995. News of the letter, which came via an old St. Louis Post-Dispatch story and highlighted by BuzzFeed Wednesday, plays directly into Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill’s attempt to portray her Republican opponent as a radical.
Indeed, Akin’s letter came about one month before militia sympathizer Timothy McVeigh blew up a truck outside a federal building in Oklahoma City. But the then-state lawmaker’s letter went a bit further than he lets on. “The local militia can bring a positive influence to our community … Your patriotism and concern for our state and nation is to be commended,” Akin wrote.

Loony Loesch fills in for Beck on both TV and Radio; tells more outright dishonest fibs

Yesterday, CNN "contributor" and far-right loon Dana Loesch filled in for Glenn Beck on both his streaming TV show and on radio. As expected, Loesch repeated her usual lies and distortions.


Firstly on Beck's radio program (whose show airs before The Dana Show on KFTK), she criticized GOP Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney for NOT repeating the baseless conspiracy she and Bachmann, to name a few Islamophobes, falsely claim that "Huma Abedin and the Muslim Brotherhood are infiltrating our government."

From the 08.06.2012 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:


Later in the radio program, Loesch mentioned her her conversion to Liberal to Conservative political viewpoints:


This morning on the radio show, Dana Loesch filled in for Glenn who is away on vacation. Many of you may know her from CNN, Breitbart news, or even her guest spots right here on GBTV, but Dana wasn’t always the strong conservative that she is today. In fact, prior to September 11th, Dana was a pretty hardcore liberal. 
“I’m a reformed liberal,” Dana said this morning while introducing herself to the Glenn Beck radio audience. 
She continued, explaining that she had her “come to Jesus moment” on 9/11 as she watched the towers falls on her television. She realized in that moment that the ideology which she had believed in doesn’t work in reality – there are repercussions. 
Dana, who grew up in a home of southern Democrats in Missouri, had already started her journey towards conservatism prior to 9/11 after being disenfranchised by the left’s treatment of Hilary Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Having a background in journalism, she began writing for a couple of daily newspapers, did a few television spots here and there, and right before the 2008 election Dana got involved in radio.

Loony Loesch used to write for the Post-Dispatch until March 3rd, 2008 as the Mamalogues columnist. The blog Mamalogues shut down in 2010. Nowadays, she's known for peddling far-right smears and lies to an national audience on radio, blogs, and TV.



Later in the day, on Glenn Beck's TV program, she falsely declared that "your religious freedoms are under attack, as of August 1st."

From the 08.06.2012 edition of TheBlazeTV's The Glenn Beck Show: 



“Religious liberty was legislated out of existence without public outcry.  American business-owners are now responsible for the results that stem from sexual decisions made by supposedly independent women…”
“Business-owners with less than 50 employees face higher premiums, or they can pay a penalty of up to $100, per employee, per day.  But more importantly, these business-owners are told that they have to subsidize the private choices of workers regardless of their own religious beliefs or practices.”


Wrong, Dana!  The "birth control mandate" does NOT take away your religious freedoms away.

She had on Brandon Darby, and both smeared DOJ and Holder for allegedly NOT preventing child trafficking:
