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.

On CNN Newsroom, Dana Loesch gushes over Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich

The woefully incompetent Dana Loesch was on CNN yet again spewing out gross falsehoods to the viewers, with very little pushback. Roland Martin, who recently has been under scrutiny for having homophobic tendencies, and Pete Dominic were the other panelists hosted by Kyra Phillips on CNN Newsroom. Of course, Loesch fawned over Rick Perry (who's ruining Texas worse than Dumbya during his reign as Governor), proving time and time again that she is a GOP shill, and NOT a Conservative Independent.

From the 06.15.2011 edition of CNN's CNN Newsroom:



She has defended the loonytunes Congresswoman from Minnesota known as Michele Bachmann, while slamming Anthony Weiner.

Newt Gingrich went on The Dana Show yesterday, and guess what she did? Let Gingrich spin his head like a top unchallenged.

Breitbart/Loesch Axis of Evil Ringleader Dana Loesch's week in lies

Breitbart/Loesch Axis of Evil Ringleader and Big Hackulism editor-in-chief Dana Loesch was on CNN this morning to talk about Osama Bin Laden. And, as usual, she went to her bread and butter: talk all over the other guests and lie to the American people.


Transcript from the 05.06.2011 edition of CNN Newsroom (9AM CDT Hour):

COSTELLO: Oh, but it's time for political buzz, a lightning fast conversation hitting the hot political topics of the day. Each of our brilliant political observers get 20 seconds to answer three probing questions.

Dana Loesch is a Tea Party supporter and conservative. Cornell Belcher was a Democratic pollster for the 2008 Obama campaign. And, once again, comedian Pete Dominick will lend his own unique perspective.

So, welcome to you all.

And the first question: have Democrats overcome the wimp factor?

Dana?

DANA LOESCH, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: One decision, which I applaud -- I applaud the decision of the president to send in a human ops team instead of bombing the compound at Abbottabad. But I think the way you can follow this up and show that Democrats have really made a really good turn is to stop the investigation into the CIA members who are interrogating detained terrorists. At the same time, while you're celebrating the victory of the death of bin Laden, which was achieved by those interrogations.

COSTELLO: Cornell?

CORNELL BELCHER, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: You know, I'm going to first reject and then I'm going to ridicule the very premise of this. I mean, if we're defining being tough as going half-cocked into war that we can't afford and can't pay for, costing thousands of lives and putting our country in debt -- no, we're not very tough. If wimpy means, you know, a measured, thoughtful response when our national security calls for it, well, then yes, we're pretty wimpy on that. We're Peewee Herman if that's the way we're defining it.

COSTELLO: Pete?

PETE DOMINICK, COMEDIAN: Yes. I think how we define the toughness is how we well we kill people or how our president orders our military. Well, then, if we're going with that premise, President Obama just, what, a few weeks into his presidency ordered the same SEAL team to snipers, to kill the Somalian pirates, 30,000 troops in Afghanistan and then bin Laden. If that's how you measure tough, I think he wins.

COSTELLO: OK. Second question: Michael Moore says the shooting of bin Laden was an execution and we should call it that. Do you agree?

Cornell?

BELCHER: You know, who cares what Michael Moore thinks on this? Look, Bin Laden, he's a guy. He's a terrorist who killed thousands of Americans. He's killed people all over the world, not only Americans but Muslims as well.

You can call it whatever you want to call it. He needed getting and we got him.

COSTELLO: Dana?

LOESCH: Whose side is Michael Moore on, anyway? Is he upset that he wasn't able to exploit this for another mockumentary and then go back and make millions of dollars off of it? I'm trying to figure out whose side Michael Moore is on. I think this is triumph of good over evil. He needs to stop with the (INAUDIBLE). COSTELLO: Pete?

LOESCH: He has to. It's done.

DOMINICK: Well, I mean, I kind of agree with Michael Moore. I mean, I think obviously it was an execution.

We found out yesterday there was only guy with a weapon. It's disrespectful to Navy SEALs. They could have taken him down with a crossbow. It's a 54-year-old frail man. They could have choked bin Laden with his own beard.

I mean, it really -- we -- definitely, we executed this guy, for sure.

COSTELLO: Got it.

DOMINICK: Whatever they're supposed to do.

COSTELLO: Third question, the week is ending. We've had a few days to digest all of this. So, what does Osama bin Laden's death really mean?

Dana?

LOESCH: Well, I think we saw images all over the television. I think it's fantastic that everyone was able to unite and realize that this was the ultimate triumph of good over evil. We took out a figurehead of a terrorist organization and I think it sends a loud message that it may take a few years, but we'll track you down and we'll find you in whatever rat hole or overpriced concrete compound in which you live.

COSTELLO: Cornell?

BELCHER: This -- I hope it means this. I hope it means that Osama bin Laden and his sort of evil ways become a footnote in history. If you look at the "Arab Spring" that's taking hold all over the Middle East right now, you know, bombs and guns and killing is not the way forward for bringing about change. I think we've seen that in Egypt. That's what I hope this means, is that this is an end to this way of thinking because it's not the way forward.

COSTELLO: Pete?

DOMINICK: It means different things for different people. One thing for young Americans who were coming of age who feel like their innocence was lost. It means something different for military families, victims' families, of course. But I hope -- I hope it means a pivot point for this president to get out of Afghanistan. And I really believe that that is a possibility right now, and I hope that's what it means.

COSTELLO: Dana, Cornell, Pete -- thanks, as always. And we'll be back again Monday. We enjoyed it.

Osama bin Laden's death might have dealt a blow to al Qaeda. But overcoming our foreign oil addiction could finish them off. We'll take a closer look at that, coming up.

Over the past week, Loesch has made pathetic excuses, such as accusing Barack Obama and the Liberals of "politicizing OBL for their own gain."

I also give credit to Bush for standing by the interrogation practices which delivered the clue that the CIA and military used to track bin Laden to his million-dollar compound.

But for the left and its media to ignore the reason why the action is impossible is petty and demonstrates more allegiance to party than country. The biggest obstacle to killing bin Laden was the left themselves. Had we gone their way instead of staying the course, bin Laden would likely still be alive.

Hey Dana, even if the left stopped waterboarding, Osama Bin Laden would've been dead sooner or later.

She also supported Bush's inhumane decision to support waterboarding:
From the 05.02.2011 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:



These same Right-Wing fools (including her) think that Bush 43 should get at least a significant portion of the credit. I think that Bush the 2x Election Thief does NOT deserve ANY credit in killing OBL.

Also earlier in the week, Loesch was making up more lies, such as that "Color of Change runs MSNBC," especially The Dylan Ratigan Show.

Color of Change, the group founded by admitted Marxist and 9/11 truther Van Jones, is chest-thumping all over Twitter essentially saying that they, not Dylan Ratigan, run “The Dylan Ratigan Show.”
Color of Change seeks to suppress conservative commentary across the board, period. They’re not interested in social justice issues as they market themselves to be, otherwise they would have been the first out of the gate with the Pigford story. They would have been the first to condemn the exploitation of black farmers for monetary and other gain by government officials and members of the Democratic party. Instead, they’ve taken the hard line against those farmers and against dissent of any form.

If this group has succeeded in overtaking a cable news network and fatalistically snuff out any non-progressive voice on a debunked race-baiting charge, it’s troubling for free speech and diverse thought, indeed.

She mentioned the repeatedly debunked falsehood on Pigford, by attacking the Black farmers who were victims of discrimination by the Federal Government and praising John Stossel (who infamously suggested repealing portions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) and her Axis of Evil parter Andrew Breitbart. Media Matters for America easily rebuts Loesch's lies on this subject:

John Stossel -- who believes that private businesses should have the right to engage in racial discrimination -- devoted another segment of his Fox Business show to attacking the Pigford lawsuit that provided recompense to black farmers who were victims of systemic discrimination by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Stossel set the segment up as a debate between Al Pires, a lawyer who represented the black farmers, and serial liar Andrew Breitbart, who has attacked Pigford as part of his eight-month smear campaign against former USDA official Shirley Sherrod, who first came to prominence after Breitbart posted a deceptively-edited video of a speech she gave that falsely portrayed her as a racist.

Stossel and Breitbart didn't make any new claims about Pigford. Rather, they rehashed the same tired distortions that we've previously debunked -- that the case is a "scam" and the claimants don't deserve their money.

But the segment was notable for Stossel's refusal to acknowledge that there was real, systematic discrimination against black people by the USDA. Recall that back when Stossel argued that "private businesses ought to get to discriminate" on the basis of race and called for the repeal of part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, he at least acknowledged that the government should not discriminate.

From the 05.05.2011 edition of FBN's Stossel:


And finally, Loesch and her cohorts (sadly, including supposedly reputable media sources) are still pushing the UMKC/UMSL falsehoods, including the incitation of violence.

Dana Loesch appears on CNN... and lies to the American people yet again

Guess who was back on CNN yesterday morning? If you've guessed the Antichrist of St. Louis, Dana Loesch, you're right. She was her doing her usual interrupt the others and spew out blatant falsehoods unchecked routine.


Transcript from the 10AM EDT/9AM CDT hour of CNN Newsroom:

COSTELLO: It is time for "Political Buzz." A lightning-fast conversation hitting the hot political topics of the day. Each of our brilliant political observers get 20 seconds to answer three probing questions. Dana Loesch is a Tea Party supporter and conservative. Cornell Belcher leans left, and comedian Pete Dominick is back to lend his own unique perspective.

Welcome! ok. On to the first question. The United States has handed over the reins to NATO in Libya. Senator McCain says it's time the U.S. retakes control. Does America need to flex its muscle in Tripoli? Dana?

DANA LOESCH, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: Well, NATO is the United States. So, essentially what we have done here, Carol, is just transfer control from one hand to the other. And I don't really think -- I've never thought that she would have been involved in Libya because Libya and what is happening there is a civil interest and that has no immediate threat to the sovereignty or safety of the United States.

COSTELLO: Cornell?

CORNELL BELCHER, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: I'm going to -- I'm going to agree here. I think it's interesting. We already have two wars that we haven't paid for, and the interesting thing is Afghanistan has become as unpopular as Iraq. So, now we want to double down on that and get involved in Libya? I don't think so. I don't think the American public has the stomach for it.

COSTELLO: Pete?

PETE DOMINICK, COMEDIAN: Well I think Cornell and Dana are both pretty right on. What is our record of success in our recent military intervention? I'm talking about the last 50 years. With all due respect to Senator McCain and his service to our country and in the Senate, how many times does he have to be wrong on foreign policy before we go to other people? Going to Senator McCain on foreign policy is like going to Alan Greenspan on economics. You've been wrong a lot -

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

DOMINICK: We could listen to others.

COSTELLO: Thanks to all. Second question. Another Wikileaks dump. This time on Guantanamo. Do they strengthen the administration's decision to keep it open? Cornell?

BELCHER: Well, it's a real gray area here. I mean, the truth of the matter is when you look at what's happening, there's some dangerous people there. I think what bothers a lot of Americans, and not just, you know, those progressive Americans, but a lot of red- blooded Americans, is this idea that there's no due process. Can we keep this open and still ensure due process?

The other big thing about this is Wikileaks are endangering Americans with this continual leaking. This sort of stuff should not be out in the open, what they're leaking.

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

COSTELLO: Dana?

LOESCH: Well, this is so weird this morning. I agree but kind of disagree with Cornell in that I think it does become a gray area. But at the same time, there's terrorists, they're suspected of terrorist activity if not outright caught in the act. So, there is no due process because they're not American citizens.

That being said, if you look at the number of detainees who, when they were released, like we had one, Ali Al Sayed, who was released to -

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

LOESCH: -- Saudi Arabia and re-education camp, he joined al Qaeda.

COSTELLO: Right. Went on to do some bad stuff. Pete?

DOMINICK: I couldn't disagree more with both these guys, my friends here. The level of criminality at this camp, we now know, is even worse than even its harshest critics were predicting. This is terrible. What Wikileaks is really exposing what the government is doing. These are government documents. I would beg all of our viewers to go read "The New York Times" or "The Guardian's" article so you can find what your taxpayer money is supporting in Guantanamo Bay -

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

DOMINICK: -- which all the --

COSTELLO: OK, third question. A group of Christian leaders lobbying Congress by asking lawmakers what would Jesus cut? You know, as far as the budget goes, what would Jesus cut? Effective or crass? Dana?

LOESCH: Oh, I think it's incredibly crass. And I have to question these religious leaders. I've always said that big government is the moral failing of man. Because when you have good government that takes away the desire for voluntary charity, you are changing something about humanity. You're changing their desire to do it themselves. And as Christian leaders, they should be encouraging people to get involved and volunteer in charity instead of adhere to the government reappropriation of it. COSTELLO: Cornell?

BELCHER: I don't even know who Dana is anymore.

(LAUGHTER)

BELCHER: I agree. Although -- I'll go the middle role. I know it's not effective because the bottom line is these leaders are going to do what they think is right. And obviously, oftentimes, the politician who is wearing his religiosity on the sleeve is often the one who is enforcing the draconian cuts -

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

COSTELLO: Oh, out of time. I'm sorry! Pete?

DOMINICK: Well, listen, nearly every member of Congress claims to be a Christian. If you think a budget for your home or for the government is considered a moral document, I don't think Jesus would have made the cuts that Congress is making. And it's a check on your conscience.

I think it's sad when an agnostic comedian is ten times more Christian than so many people in Congress act like they are. That's me, by the way.

COSTELLO: "Political Buzz." Fun as always. Dana, Cornell, Pete, thank you so much. We'll see you again on Friday.

LOESCH: Thanks.
