Dana Loesch on GBTV's The Glenn Beck Show

Today on GBTV's The Glenn Beck Show, KFTK (whose station carries Beck's radio show prior to The Dana Show and fellow employer Dave Glover as an occasional fill-in) radio host Dana Loesch filled in for the too deranged for Fixed Noise Glenn Beck.

Loesch's interview with former Liberal-turned-Conservative Brandon Darby (a Dana Show regular):


From the 05.29.2012 edition of GBTV's The Glenn Beck Show:



Tonight on GBTV, guest host Dana Loesch was joined by Brandon Darby. Brandon has one of the most interesting life stories of anyone you will ever come across.
Brandon Darby, now a conservative activist, spent much of his life fighting for the left. Brandon describes his transformation to the right as “a process.” After turning in a Palestinian radical to the FBI for plotting to filter money to radical groups that were using the money to fund violence against Israelis, he began work as an FBI informant.
While working as an informant he helped expose and stop an attack at the 2008 GOP convention. This event revealed Brandon as an informant and quickly put him to the top of the ‘left’s most hated’ list. Brandon now works to expose the far left and those behind Occupy Wall Street. Darby joined forces with the late Andrew Breitbart, Stephen Bannon and many others for a film called Occupy Unmasked.



Loesch had on Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch (R) (another Dana Show regular) to defend her against being recalled:


From the 05.29.2012 edition of GBTV's The Glenn Beck Show:


Sorry to burst your bubble, Dana, but Kleefisch AND Walker will be recalled next week, no matter how much prostituting (aka shilling) you do for the anti-Recall (pro-Walker/Kleefisch) side!

Loesch then falsely accused "the left of bullying conservatives" and misleadingly declared that "Madeleine McAulay's freedoms were being stifled for her pro-'traditional marriage' views."

From the 05.29.2012 edition of GBTV's The Glenn Beck Show:



I think this is a sign that Loesch's 3 hour liefest may be getting national syndication soon.

Dana Loesch: "Transgender-inclusive bathrooms are a safety issue because men are stronger than women"

We have CNN "contributor" and KFTK radio host Dana Loesch spewing out homophobic bottom-feeder rhetoric about transgender-friendly bathrooms. She was mad that University of Arkansas-Fort Smith transgender student Jennifer Braly got their bathroom policy changed to allow her to use the female bathrooms there.

From the 05.24.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:


Transcript:
LOESCH: "I read about this story-- this is a headline... that sounds ridiculous, and in fact, I talked about it last night as well. The Department of Justice-- I talked about it two hours ago-- the Department of Justice is now deciding that they're very interested in the-- what happened at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith does with their bathrooms."[...]
LOESCH: "I just want to let that sink in. I dramatically paused for a reason. They don't care about Fast and Furious, but they're very concerned about the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith does with their bathrooms. A male student, who calls himself 'Jennifer Braly,' is in the process of raising money to pay for a sex reassignment surgery. He's becoming a woman, [but] still has male anatomy.  He wanted to use the women's restroom, and was told that he couldn't, filed a complaint, and the DOJ brought its muscle and said: 'the rule about he can't use the women's bathroom....' That's how the DOJ--"
PRODUCER: "Wait a minute. If I'm a woman, I'd be looking at him who wants to be her and say, 'you can't come in here...'"
LOESCH: "You have frankenberries."
PRODUCER: "You can't come in here with that."
LOESCH: "And the women were actually really uncomfortable about it. And they were against it, like: 'No, he is a dude. He still has-- you know.'"
PRODUCER: "He can still stand up and--"
LOESCH: "I'm not saying that he would, so I don't want people to freak out about it saying 'there's him!' I'm just saying that men are stronger than women and can overpower most of them. It comes down to being a safety issue. It has nothing to do with gender, anything like that. It's just that men anatomically are stronger, or physiologically they're stronger regarding anatomy or so forth. Obviously, hello, we went through school. So the Department of Justice got involved and made them. So now this guy can use the women's bathroom with the women."
PRODUCER:
 "The DOJ's-- they're hard at work."
LOESCH: "So there's that. They're hard-workers, not with Fast and Furious."

Discredited hack Ed Klein on KFTK's The Dana Show: "Obama is a secret Muslim"

On today's edition of The Dana Show, discredited Islamophobic fringe right-winger Ed Klein, who wrote the anti-Obama book entitled The Amateur, was falsely claiming that Obama was a "practicing Muslim." And of course vile liar Dana Loesch let him lie his ass off without a rebuttal.


Loesch asked Klein about a passage in his book in which he spoke with Wright about Obama’s time at the Trinity United Church of Christ, which says it welcomes members of all faiths and religions:
LOESCH: One of the stories that comes from your book is that you say that Jeremiah Wright told you that he helped Barack Obama accept Christianity without denouncing Islam. Now the natural question then for me to ask is, is Jeremiah Wright saying that Barack Obama is Islamic? 
KLEIN: I asked him that question, that exact question. I said ‘did you convert Barack Obama from Islam to Christianity?’ He said ‘it’s hard to say. It’s hard to say.’ He said, and then I asked him again, I said ‘do you think he was a Muslim?’ He said ‘no I don’t think he was a Muslim.’ I think he said ‘he was steeped in Islam. He grew up understanding Islam. As a child and as a teenager he understood Islam. But he did not understand Christianity.’

Dana Loesch bashes teachers unions, accuses them of "fellating for the pro-union agenda"

We have the rabidly anti-unionization voice Dana Loesch attacking teachers unions on her radio show yesterday-- this time by suggesting that "American public schools are fellating [out-of-state] union bosses."

From the 05.08.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:


Transcript:
LOESCH: "What's more problematic in schools than obesity? It is the fact that a lot of our children in schools can't compete with other countries because we spend more time-- I'm just going to say it-- we spend more time fellating out-of-state union bosses when it comes to pay and services and everything than we do actually do on education. We have headlines about sex ed. Where are the headlines about science? Where are the headlines about music, and so on and so forth?"
[...]
"They ignore that epidemic of what out-of-state interest and public sector control are doing to education. So they'll focus on obesity. I'm not saying a healthy lifestyle isn't helpful, or that kids shouldn't be healthy."
Loesch is out of her mind, and she's in REALLY hot water over her role with GGI co-founder Scott Boston regarding the "kill the Claire Bear" comment at a Teabagger rally in Springfield, Missouri.

Loesch on KFTK's The Dana Show: "Progressive Women Suffer From 'Fake Leg Syndrome.'"

Yet another edition of St. Louis's favorite cuckoolander radio host Dana Loesch embarrassing herself, her employers, and decency. On yesterday's edition of The Dana Show, she falsely distorted the claim that "progressive women suffer from 'fake leg syndrome.'"

From the 05.07.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:


Partial Transcript:
LOESCH: "Apparently, there's a medical condition that progressive women suffer-- suffering from that I'm unaware. What is that? The phantom leg syndrome? What is that? I know that's a real condition. I've heard about it. Is it called fake leg--?"
PRODUCER: "Isn't like hyphocondria or something?"
LOESCH: "Maybe it's restless leg syndrome."
[...]
LOESCH: "But it may be along those lines, medically speaking. Because apparently progressive women have an inability to get up on their two legs and and walk with their two legs to the Target, or to the Costco, or a non-Planned Parenthood clinic, and buy for themselves birth control that is as cheap as $9. I don't understand why everyone else's premiums are jacked up so that we can pretend that they're getting something for free."

On yesterday's edition of The Dana Show, homophobe Loesch trashes Dan Savage

Yesterday on KFTK's The Dana Showhomophobic nutcase Dana Loesch falsely accused Dan Savage, Liberals, and the LGBTQ movement of acting like "[anti-Christian] bullies."

From the 04.30.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:
CNN's Loesch: Dan Savage Exploited Anti-LGBT Bullying Because "Nobody Was Reading His Damn Columns Anymore"


Who's doing and exploiting bullies now? It's NOT Savage.

Wrong again, Ms. Loesch!

CNN's Loesch: "'It Gets Better' Campaign Is A 'Front' To Raise Dan Savage's Image"

GOP flunky Dana Loesch continues to misleadingly accuse the Dems of "pushing a 'war on women'"

Yet again, CNN (or TeaNN) "contributor" and KFTK radio host Dana Loesch is blaming DEMOCRATS for instigating the War On Women, when she knows damn well it's the GOP and herself that's instigating the War On Women.

Big Government:

Earlier today, progressive females in various cities protested against the fabricated "war on women" Democrats convinced them that the GOP is waging. The goal of the "United Against War On Women" protest? Something about birth control and abortion.  
I followed the #UAWOW stream on Twitter and saw much Republican-bashing and blustering about how progressive women are apparently being physically restrained by Republicans from entering places like Costco and Target to obtain $9 a month birth control. If these self-described "sluts" and "cunts" are so upset over inequality, where were the signs about the pay inequality in Barack Obama's own administration?  
Where are the signs protesting Democrat policies which caused more women to lose jobs than men in March? Republicans have been prevented by the Senate from passing a single jobs bill and every one they've propose has been destroyed; meanwhile the Senate celebrates its third year of not passing a budget tomorrow.
Where are the signs protesting how women have lost seven times the jobs of men?
Where are the signs protesting the statistics that one in two college graduates are unemployed?
Where are the signs protesting high gas prices? Higher grocery bills?
Where are the signs protesting real suppression of women?
Where were the signs protesting Democrats using VAWA as a political checkers piece?
Oh, that's right. It wouldn't help to promote a false narrative designed to manipulate women into voting for Democrats.
Women used to protest to get the government out of their lives. Today, progressive women protest to bring government back into our lives. The patriarchy wins. 

For God's sakes, Dana, you are out of touch with reality and you're busy jackin' it in San Diego to care about the truth.

She also baselessly accused the Senate Democrats of "not passing a budget for a 3rd year in a row." Actually, it's the GOP that's obstructing in order to appease their hard-right teahadist base.

Islamophobic hatemonger Dana Loesch continues to smear Muslims

On Tuesday's edition of KFTK 97.1's The Dana Show, notorious Islamophobe Dana Loesch revived the false and widely debunked smear (that her current employer CNN debunked) that "President Barack Obama attended a 'madrassa' in Indonesia."

During Loesch's radio show, a caller said: "Obama said -- when he was talking about Romney -- he was saying that he wasn't born with a -- he was talking about himself -- wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But he was born with a Quran in his hand."
Instead of correcting the caller by pointing out that Obama is a Christian and not a Muslim, Loesch said: "Well, yeah, I mean, he did study -- he went to one of the madrassas over in Indonesia for a while. So he knows -- I mean, he -- which is kind of like the equivalent in Islam of a Catholic school in Catholicism. So there's that." 
Later, another caller took issue with Loesch's drawing a parallel between Islamic schools and Catholic schools:
CALLER: You know, I grew up in Catholic school. You know, I did eight years there. And, you know, we learned the Ten Commandments, we learned about God, turning the other cheek, loving thy neighbor. You've got books for these schools, these Islamic schools, that show them where to cut off appropriately for the hand and feet of infidels. You know, it's math, language, and then how to build bombs in these schools. You know, to say that it's --
LOESCH: Well, no, it's, it's --
CALLER: -- to compare it to, you know, Catholic schools --
LOESCH: [caller's name]
CALLER: -- is a little stretch.
Loesch clarified that she believes those schools are "analogous" to Catholic schools because Muslims "have schools that train up children in the doctrine, in the religion that they practice, just like in Catholicism." She continued:
LOESCH: Now, what they teach isn't the same. And I didn't say that what they taught was the same.
[...]
LOESCH: In our Bible -- and [caller], you know this, too. In our Bible, it doesn't say, you know, find the infidel where they lay and slay them. I mean, that's -- you know, the new covenant with man and the New Testament is all about love and forgiveness. And, you know, you read the Quran, which I have, and that's not in there.


From the 04.24.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:
       


The Washington Post's Erik Wemple wrote about Loesch's blatant lie on Madrassagate.


●Dana Loesch, a CNN contributor, endorses the act of urinating on Afghan soldiers on her radio show
Loesch issued more nonsense this week, as exposed by Media Matters. A caller was riffing off President Obama’s claim that he wasn’t born with a “silver spoon” in his mouth. ”But he was born with a Koran in his hand.”
Loesch, ever the crusader for factual integrity, scolded the man, saying, ”I am sorry, but we don’t have any documentation regarding what he had in his hand at birth. Please do not stretch the truth on my radio show.”
That inquiry fetched this response from Loesch: 
OK, so that explains how Loesch feels about Media Matters.
When MMfA acknowledges that they’re under fire for repeatedly publishing antisemitic content, when they can explain why they coincidently received money from SEIU to target black conservatives in the wake of Kenneth Gladney, when they clarify what they meant when they accused the US of bombing Al Jazeera, and when they detail how often they convene with the White House on strategy (i.e. DOJ story), then I’ll be interested in responding on a nonstory from this joke of a far-left propaganda smear site. Until then, I’m more interested in seeing stories on why we have 300 dead Mexicans and two dead border agents on Eric Holder’s watch.
Thanks for reaching out, it is genuinely appreciated.
In her September 2010 column on her radio show's page on WordPress, Loesch baselessly accused "all Muslims as violent terrorists."


Who burned the Koran that resulted in the murder of ten Christian missionaries last month
Or the murder of CIA agents earlier this year?
Or the USS Cole?
Or the countless airplane hijackings, discotheque bombings, etc., etc., etc. 
Obama says that “As Americans, we will not or ever be at war with Islam.” 
How many thousands of people must be murdered by Islam before he stops saying such?
Where did this nation’s balls go?

No, Ms. Loesch, almost all the Muslims are peaceful and non-violent, and it's only the radical fundamentalist Islam types such as the Wahhabis and Al-Qaeda that do the terrorist activities, which are disavowed by the mainstream Islamic community.


Joel Pollak at Big Journalism falsely accuses Media Matters for America of being Islamophobic:


Whether antisemitism or Islamophobia or hatred of black conservatives, Media Matters for America is not above any form of prejudice--as long as it suits the left's agenda and President Barack Obama's re-election. Case in point: the false claim that Dana Loesch "smeared" Obama by stating--correctly--that he studied in a Muslim school, or madrassa.
In the Muslim world, any religious school is a madrassa--not just the radical, terror-teaching madrassas we hear about in Pakistani border regions, but also your friendly neighborhood storefront that teaches Arabic lessons after school. 
Loesch, who is a Breitbart News editor and CNN contributor, pointed out--again, correctly--that a madrassa is roughly analogous to Sunday school in the Christian world. 
Media Matters cannot, and does not, take issue with any of the above--but tries, laughably, to associate Loesch with a false Islamophobic stereotype, as part of its obsessive campaign to remove Loesch from the airwaves--and to drive conservative voices in general out of the American media, the surest sign that the left cannot handle democratic debate and therefore is trying to prevent it.


Pollak, it is YOUR own site (and yourself) that tends to be Islamophobic, NOT MMFA!

Loesch selling baloney to her Big Journalism readers by declaring the "Democrats have pushed a 'War On Students'"

President Barack Obama is proposing cheaper student loans, and the right-wing reaction to anything Obama does or says is feigned outrage.

NPR:

President Obama went after the college vote Tuesday, pitching cheaper student loans as he courted the one age group where he has a decided advantage over Republican rival Mitt Romney. The twist? Romney, too, has endorsed the idea, though it's unclear whether deficit-leery Republicans in Congress will go along. 
In the race for the White House, both the Obama and Romney campaigns see huge opportunities to court younger voters. This week, their efforts are focused on the millions of students — and their parents — who are grappling with college costs at a time when such debt has grown so staggering, it exceeds the totals for credit cards or auto loans.
Obama's emphasis on his personal experience set up a contrast with Romney, whose father was a wealthy auto executive. It's a point the president is sure to return to during this summer's campaigning. 
Late Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., introduced legislation that would keep the interest rate for subsidized loans for poorer and middle-class students at their current level for another year at a cost of $5.9 billion. The timing is important because the rate will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1 without intervention by Congress, an expiration date chosen in 2007 when a Democratic Congress voted to chop the rate in half. 
Some conservative activists have denounced Romney's decision to match Obama's position on student loan rates. 
"Mitt Romney is going to sell out conservatives in his party" to improve his chances in the November election, Michael Brendan Dougherty wrote in a blog carried by sites including Free Republic.


In her blogpost at Big Journalism today, pathological liar Dana Loesch misleadingly declared that the "Democratic Party and Obama are waging a 'war on students.'


Mitt Romney agrees with Barack Obama on extending student loans because Republicans haven't yet figured out how to sell economic responsibility--or battle the media attacks that come with it. It doesn't inspire the confidence needed to maintain a positive outlook on the general election.  
Romney found it easier to agree with Obama on extending student loans because not doing so would have invited relentless attack on how Romney hates everything and everyone from children to intelligence. In reality, the hesitation comes from what extending the law would do--prop up increasing tuition rates at mostly-progressive strongholds for students who voluntarily agree to accrue a massive amount of debt, all without a way to pay for it.  
If conservatives on Twitter can do it, why can't Mitt Romney?
The inability for graduates to find jobs happened on Barack Obama's watch. The war on students Democrats are waging today actually began in 2007. Then-Senator Barack Obama found campaigning a more important issue than casting a vote to extend the law which suppressed student loan interest rates at 3.4%.  
Instead of playing along, challenge it, GOP. Democrats don't need any help with their war on students. 


There is a "war on students" perpetrated all right, but it's done by the GOP and folks like Loesch, NOT President Obama and the Democratic Party.

CNN and KFTK's resident xenophobe Dana Loesch: "Martin Bashir can go back to the UK for all I care"

On yesterday's edition of The Dana Show on KFTK 97.1 FM, CNN "Contributor" and racist xenophobe Dana Loesch told MSNBC's Martin Bashir to "get out of this country, and if want to cover politics and celebrities, do it back in your home country."

From the 04.19.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show: 


Loesch is an arschloch (or asshole).

The Raw Story:

Dana Loesch is apparently furious at MSNBC’s Martin Bashir. Yesterday, Bashir called former Massachusetts Governor and presumptive Republican candidate for president Mitt Romney a liar and said that by his own faith’s tenets, he’s going to hell for what he said about President Obama and the economy. 
That was apparently more than Loesch, an CNN contributor, erstwhile Andrew Breitbart protege and supporter of corpse desecration could stomach hearing about her party’s nominee. In a sputtering freakout rant from Thursday’s edition of “The Dana Show,” the CNN contributor called Bashir “an unintelligent hack,” and “a foreigner,” who isn’t qualified to cover U.S. politics.


I have some news for you, Dana! Bashir is more qualified than you to cover American politics in a truthful and an efficient manner. And this will embarrass you even more: Piers Morgan (British) (who has had Loesch on at least twice and on CNN, the same channel where she works) is also a "foreigner", as are Rush's lead sub Mark Steyn (Canada), FBN/FNC's Stuart Varney (British) (a former CNN employee), CNNI's Christiane Amampour, CNN's Ashleigh Banfield (Canada), CNN's Fareed Zakaria (India), CNN's Ali Velshi (Kenya), and former FNC and CNN's Kiran Chetry (Nepal), to name a few non US-born journalists. And by her own definition, this also includes Birther nut Orly Taitz (Moldova) and Dinesh D'Souza (India).

In her anti-union Big Government post, Loesch defends Walker and Kleefisch from possible recalls

In her Big Government post, anti-union numbnut Dana Loesch defended Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) and Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch (R) from the grassroots Recall Walker movement. As usual, she was delusional enough to falsely declare that the Walker/Kleefisch reforms "are helping Wisconsin."


No other race in the country better embodies the struggle between conservative and progressive ideals than the recall battle over Wisconsin's Lieutenant Governor. 
The incumbent is former stay-at-home-mom and journalist Rebecca Kleefisch, whose ascent through the state party was a hard-won battle against the establishment, waged by a fed-up citizen. Kleefisch didn't just fight the GOP establishment and win by double-digits; during the primary she also fought and defeated colon cancer. 
In contrast, Big Labor has put up its own candidate. Of the five Democrats who've filed, Mahlon Mitchell seems the most likely candidate to emerge for the June 5th showdown. Mitchell shares the same far-left ideology of the labor protesters who trashed the capitol and sent death threats to Republicans. Mitchell landed in hot water with the labor protesters when he got too friendly with Walker in exchange for some reform exemptions; later, when pressure grew, he joined in the marches and led chants against Walker and Kleefisch. (Apparently, he didn't condemn the appalling and criminal behavior of the protesters, either.) 
Mitchell opposes the the very reforms of collective bargaining privileges that have brought Wisconsin voters the economic stability they desired. Democrats want to keep holding elections at the public's expense until they get the results they want. In the meantime, their far-left, out-of-state interests will pump somewhere around $80 million into the Wisconsin Democrat party--a chunk of that into Mitchell's campaign--in their assault on economic reform.
The reforms Kleefisch has helped to enact during her tenure as Lieutenant Governor have saved the state millions of dollars.

Mahlon Mitchell (D) will likely be the next Lt. Governor of Wisconsin, whether Loesch and her ilk like it or not!

She continues with this stupid statement:

Make no mistake: a loss in Wisconsin will derail the first generation of reform governors. It will affect every other state, and give the President a singular victory from which to campaign as he slides his failed policies off the table.  
Not only that, but a loss for Kleefisch could discourage other women from running for office. Conservative women have been met with a barrage of abuse simply for being conservatives, and Kleefisch is no exception. If other potential female conservative candidates see what the left is capable of doing to one currently in office, don't expect to see them take on the heat of a campaign in the future.


In fact, the Walker/Kleefisch "reforms" in Wisconsin are NOT working, much to the chagrin of the Walker/Kleefisch apologists. Their asinine polices have led to job LOSSES, not gains, and they're blaming the DEMOCRATS for it?!


Badger Democracy has the Top 10 reasons why Kleefisch needs to be pink-slipped:

1. Kleefisch lied in the 2010 election about the level of tax increase under Doyle, misrepresenting it by over $2 billion – a lie Politifact couldn’t even miss
2. In the 2010 election, during an interview with Fox 6 in Milwaukee, compared same-sex relationships with having a relationship with inanimate objects, in spite of her uncle being in an openly gay relationship for over 18 years.

3. Frequent speaker at Tea Party rallies (such as Sheboygan) in summer 2010 – coined the phrase “open for business” and railed on the role of Government in ruining the economy in Wisconsin, even when the real cause of the recession was lack of regulation on speculative and risky investment ventures; not too much government.

4. After leaving WISN-TV in Milwaukee, became a “conservative correspondent” for Charlie Sykes, conservative radio talk show host in Milwaukee.

5. Kleefisch pushes for abstinence only sex-ed.

6. She is anti-reproductive rights, even in cases of rape, incest, or the mother’s life being in danger.

7. Anti-embryonic stem cell research, in spite of scientific evidence that adult stem cells are not as effective for research.

8. Considers the top quality necessary for a Governor  is “…to be a Christian man…”, in her own words, 28 seconds in on the video. 
9. Along with Scott Walker, broke a campaign promise to immediately begin paying their increased pension contribution upon taking office. They only complied when mandated to do so by newly enacted law, along with other state employees.

10. Kleefisch has never before been elected or appointed to public office, has no fiscal managerial experience, and has no qualifications to serve as Governor. Being a middle market news reporter does not qualify you for the high office of Lt. Governor, or Governor. 
The fact is, Kleefisch was not qualified to be Lieutenant Governor in the first place – a fact simply ignored by the media during the campaign, and Wisconsin voters who either didn’t vote, or were seduced by Scott Walker. She is a fundamentalist, whose ideology does not (contrary to her speeches and ads) reflect or care about the majority of Wisconsin. Now is the time to call her out for what she is, and for her support of Scott Walker.

I sure hope she and Walker both are recalled. And you can donate some of your money to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin's Recall Walker Campaign, via ActBlue.

Dana Loesch visits Chicago, still baselessly claims the "Democrats have a war on [conservative] women"

Yesterday in Chicago, Illinois, CNN "Contributor", Big Journalism EIC, and KFTK radio host Dana Loesch continued her trashing of the Democrats and the Occupy Movement.

Key Points


  • "Wisconsin-- I said this in my speech-- is the birthplace of the new American Revolution. But Chicago is the birthplace of the American conservative movement-- the Tea Party." (approx. 0:30)
  • Loesch: "10+ years ago, I was a Democrat. I was a registered Democrat. I was a young college women. It was marketed to me as the party of 'pro-women,' pro-equality', or 'pro-whatever.' Then I quickly realized that was not the case." (approx. 1:00)
  • Loesch falsely declared that the ""Democrats instigated the 'war on women.'" No, Dana, it's YOU and YOUR GOP that did that, moron! (approx. 1:30)
  • Loesch baselessly accuses the "DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and moveon.org of using it as a 'fundraising tool' to benefit the Democratic Party." (approx. 2:11)
  • Loesch: "firearms level the playing field." (approx. 3:30)
  • She said that the "Liberal/Progressive/Democrat Feminist Movement" has come full circle. (approx. 4:05)
  • She falsely claimed that the "Democratic Party is male-dominated and patriarchal." Wrong party, ma'am! (approx. 4:15)
  • She misleadingly states the "progressives and Occupy support raping of women." (approx. 4:30)
  • She took a cue from the now-deceased Andrew Breitbart: "Stop raping people! Behave yourselves!" (approx. 4:40)
  • Loesch: "The Democrat Party has robbed me of my choice." (approx. 5:05)
  • She then declared that "the policies of my former party prevents me from staying at home." (approx. 5:14)
  • She baselessly said that "her husband can't create more jobs because of the Democrats' policies and want to confiscate his resources for doing so." (approx. 5:18) She's an idiot!
  • She took a shot at Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke for supporting access to birth control and contraception. (approx. 6:01)
  • Loesch: "I've been on 1 vacation in ten years. How many does the guy in the White House [Obama] take?" I have some news for you, Dana: Bush 43 took more vacations than Obama. (approx. 7:05)
  • Loesch: "The Democrat Party is the party of pro-choice. It's the party of no choice." Wrong party, lady! (approx. 7:30)
  • Loesch: "We are here to take our country back [from the Democrats], starting in June in Wisconsin." (approx. 8:50)






Eric W. Dolan at The Raw Story calls out Loesch's deliberate falsehoods:

CNN contributor and blogger Dana Loesch said Monday at the Tea Party Tax Day rally in Chicago that women “get raped” for supporting liberals and progressives like the “Occupy Wall Street” movement. 
“What did women receive for supporting the left?” she asked the crowd. “You’ve seen it here with your Occupy movement, haven’t you? They get raped.” 
“This man on my shirt had a message that I think needs to be reiterated since it keeps happening,” Loesch said, wearing a shirt picturing the late Andrew Breitbart. “Stop raping people! Behave yourselves!” 
When asked about the “Occupy Wall Street” protests after her speech by independent YouTube reporter John Sheehan, Loesch said she was “fascinated” by the movement, but did not understand its purpose. After being questioned about crime at the “Occupy” protests, she said that all she knew was that the movement was about “vandalism and rape.”



Loesch attacks Dolan on Twitter for telling the truth about her:










ABL (Angry Black Lady) at The Raw Story also tears her a new one for lying about the OWS Movement:

The report to which conservatives gleefully point as proof that Occupy Wall Street condoned or encouraged or failed to address the rape of its members has been debunked over and over again. It is simply not true. Members of the Occupy Wall Street movement stated that neither the victim nor the rapist were Occupiers. They were homeless people who set up a tent nearby the Occupiers. Dana Loesch, however, has an on-again/off-again relationship with the truth, and what she must know to be the truth won’t stop her from continuing to flog a lie, as if out of fealty to the late Andrew Breitbart. 

Rape is not a partisan issue. Rape is not punishment that is doled out for being a Republican or a Democrat. The very implication is appalling and has no place in political discourse. That Loesch is using rape as a political football — and repeatedly lying about it — demonstrates her utter lack of respect for women, and her willingness to victim-blame. “You were raped? Too bad — you shouldn’t have supported the left.” Is this really the sort of rhetoric that CNN condones and wants to associate itself with?
