Anti-LGBTQ sourpuss Dana Loesch smears STL City Alderman Shane Cohn over LGBT Pride light displays

Rabid homophobic foe of LGBTQ rights Dana Loesch does what she does best: complain and whine. And this time, it's directed at Shane Cohn (@shanecohn on Twitter), a St. Louis City Alderman representing the 25th Ward, for spending money on using rainbow lighting for the St. Louis PrideFest this weekend and the victory of DOMA's overturning by SCOTUS.


The RedState contributor wrote wrote lies about the lighting for PrideFest:

St. Louis celebrated the defeat of DOMA and Prop 8 with lights: 
The Civil Courts Building has been showing off rainbow LED lighting most of this week.  Soldiers Memorial will switch over to the colors this weekend for St. Louis Pride Fest, which has moved to downtown.
Ward 25 Alderman Shane Cohn secured $15,000 in capital improvement money for the lights.  Cohn said a company matched that amount.
Where did Cohn get that $15,000 in “capital improvement money?”

So are Christians, like myself, who are also city residents.
My city is struggling with crime and an alderman takes taxpayer money to use as a political statement in a ward that’s not even his? And to additionally make the memorial for our soldiers part of the display? We’re struggling financially and with a crime wave and we can appropriate tax dollars for this?

You, ma'am, are a fucking windbag, Dana! And as Cohn properly points out, LGBTQ people are also taxpayers and citizens, something bigoted assholes like Loesch doesn't get.


Her smears of Alderman Cohn and Mayor Francis Slay on Twitter:















































Dana, you are BOTH anti-gay and sexist at the same time.

Dana Loesch lies about DOMA, falsely declares it to be the "Democrats' baby" [UPDATED]

Dana Loesch got caught red-handed lying again, on DOMA. She thinks DOMA was all the "Democrats and Bill Clinton's fault." WRONG!

Her twitter posts on the on the ruling that threw out DOMA and Prop 8:



UPDATE (06.26.2013, 9:30PM CDT):
The STL P-D's Kevin McDermott takes brazen idiot Dana Loesch to task for blatantly lying about DOMA.

Kevin McDermott at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
The problem is, she also gets creative in outlining the history of the federal anti-gay-marriage law that was struck down. She strongly implies that law was a Democratic idea that Republicans have always opposed.  

As for the rest — Democrats "championing" its passage, Clinton offering “fervent” support, Republicans proudly lining up with their revered Log Cabin leaders in a principled quest to stop it … Well, no.
In the end, the Republican-controlled Congress passed the Republican-sponsored bill through both chambers, with all but one Republican voting “yes.” A majority of congressional Democrats also supported it, though dozens of them voted “no.” Clinton — in an act that, even then, was widely portrayed as classic Clintonian triangulation in an election year — signed the bill with zero fanfare, literally in the middle of the night.

Dana Loesch at the Audit The IRS rally: she lied her ass off as usual

Massive liar Dana Loesch spoke at the #AuditTheIRS rally on Wednesday, and she basically accused the Democrats and the IRS of "cheating" to beat Mitt Romney in 2012 and used the "we built it" line that Mittens used during the 2012 Presidential Election season.

She was telling numerous lies during her short speech



She went on to TheBlazeTV's Glenn Beck Program with substitute host Stu Burguiere later that day.

Once again, flagrant liar Dana Loesch has zero clue about Colorado politics

Tea Party liar and gun nut d-bag Dana Loesch is in hot water again, and this time, she falsely claims that Colorado State Senator Angela Giron (D-Pueblo) is "being a racist for opposing a recall." And she has a history of lying about Colorado Democrats.

She makes an asshole response to Giron on her blog.

DanaLoeschRadio.com:


According to Giron’s logic, it’s racist then that she wants to disarm these Hispanics.

No, Ms. Loesch, Giron is NOT racist.


ColoradoPols.com diarist PolitiComm calls out Loesch's absurd BS and lack of legitimate facts regarding Colorado Politics:

Missouri native Dana Loesch–with no knowledge of race history or Pueblo politics–wants you to believe that the recall against Senator Angela Giron in Pueblo is in no way race or gender motivated. She cites the fact that Latino Representatives Ed Vigil and Leroy Garcia aren't being recalled as proof positive that the recall against Giron isn't in any way race related. The problem is those gal darn conservative pals of hers who spent an entire legislative session race and gender baiting Senator Giron and others. 
Before we get to the nitty gritty, we'll cast misogyny aside for a lesson in Colorado race history: Assuming that people identify as Latino based on their surname is prejudiced in itself. Loesch likely assumes, since she probably didn't ask Representatives Vigil and Garcia, that their Spanish surnames mean they think of themselves as Latino. Colorado reality check: The Spanish are European and many families with Spanish surnames have been here since the Spanish granted them land long before the Mexican-American War. Hence, many people with Spanish surnames in Colorado don't identify as Latino.  
Loesch's barely-west-of-the-Mississippi mentality certainly makes an ass out of her, but what's got me hot are the racist, misogynist asses she's dismissing or, worse, parroting.

Her BFF Larry Conners has been fired from KMOV, will be a guest on The Dana Show tomorrow

Over the past week plus, KFTK hatemonger radio host Dana Loesch has been on a crusade defending the former longtime KMOV anchor and GOP shill Larry Conners, as he made very controversial comments regarding the IRS and then subsequently lied about it.

Larry Conners, St. Louis' longest-tenured anchorman, has been fired from KMOV (Channel 4).
In a statement posted on the station's website aboput 3:30 p.m., president and general manager Mark Pimentel said: "We regret to announce that Larry Conners is no longer a KMOV news reporter." 
The action comes after a series of events that began last week when Conners alleged he was targeted by the Internal Revenue Service after interviewing President Barack Obama in 2012. 
Pimentel added that Conners' actions also would have caused problems if he had been allowed to "report on the current (Obama) adminstration." 

Conners, 66, spent 37 years in St. Louis television — the last 27 as an anchor at KMOV — and won numerous local Emmy Awards.  
Professionally, Conners has been taking hits at KMOV, which replaced him in late April with former sportscaster Steve Savard (alongside Sharon Reed) on the marquee 10 p.m. newscast.
The recently fired Conners will join Loesch on her radio show tomorrow to spew out more lies and venom.
Larry Conners will be on my program tomorrow. My staff has also reached out to Pimentel to join as well.
Conners was supposed to have been on The Dana Show last week, but KMOV staff (thankfully) prohibited it.


From my other blog on Blogspot, JGibsonBlog:

As you may have heard in the news recently, veteran KMOV news anchor (and right-wing hero) Larry Conners (@lconnersnews4) is in really hot water because he claimed (falsely) that he was "harassed by the IRS"  after his infamous interview with President Obama last year in which he asked right-wing gotcha questions (most notably the "Obamas take too much vacations" lie promulgated through the wingnut universe).

From the 05.14.2013 edition of KMOV's News 4 at 6:
                       

Transcript:
“First, I need to state those were my personal views, not those of KMOV-TV,” Conners said (video above). “Second, to be fair, I should disclose that my issues with the IRS preceded that interview by several years. As a journalist I understand the importance of keeping personal matters separate from my professional work — sometimes you have to do that retain your independence as a newsman. Those lines might have been unintentionally crossed yesterday by my [Facebook] post.”

It is WELL past time that KMOV (the CBS affiliate in St. Louis) gets rid of GOP shill Larry Conners permanently, especially after his latest incident with the IRS and lying about it. I bet he has a slot on rabid-right hate talker KFTK 97.1 FM lined up for him, along with his fellow former KMOV employees Marc Cox (Sunday Nights and weekday fill-in) and Jamie Allman (weekday morning drive-time).
Turns out, he was fired today, and I'm glad that he is gone from KMOV. Anything that makes Dana Loesch (and her ignorant right-wing nutsack hubby Chris) mad is good for St. Louis.

Loesch and her band of trolls attack me for telling the truth about her

Today, I've been getting smeared on Twitter for having the audacity to call Dana Loesch and her band of bullying trolls are going after me for having the courage to blog about Loesch and her lies.


She has smeared gun safety activist and mom Nikki Moungo (@Nikki2U) for being at the gun safety rally at the end of March 2013 and for being featured in the Riverfront Times this week.


The tweet by Moungo got a lot of attention:


RFT:
Nikki Moungo, a 42-year-old Ballwin resident, is no stranger to gun violence. She is a long-time neighbor and close friend of the family ofMatthew Pellegrini, who was eighteen years old when he was shot and killed in St. Louis. As we've reported, she's been very vocal in the fight for a tough sentence for Pellegrini's killer, supporting the family in and out of the courtroom. 
For these reasons, Moungo was especially surprised and angry to find that her personal gun-control advocacy was at the center of a pro-gun conservative attack that ridiculed her as an out-of-touch suburban mom who doesn't know a thing about a gun violence.
The attacker? St. Louis' very own Dana Loesch. 
Moungo reached out to Daily RFT after she stumbled upon this recent post penned by Loesch, a well-known conservative radio host, on the site Red State.
One of the premises of the piece by Loesch, the cofounder of the St. Louis Tea Party and the subject of our cover story back in 2010, is that the attendees of a Moms Demand Action gun-control rally in St. Louis are completely ignorant about urban violence.
Like other supporters of stricter gun policy, Moungo says she supports common-sense solutions that reduce the risk of gun violence.
Once that violence affected her more directly, "You definitely just get louder," she adds.
That set out the Loeschbot trolls to defend her and smear me and Moungo.

Dana Loesch (@DLoesch), the ringleader:




Eric Elverhoy (@EEElverhoy):











Elverhoy's also a very repulsive troll, and has falsely accused me of being a "homophobe."

Lorraine Yuriar (@thekytikat):



Still childishly smearing me for simply posting (mostly) fetish content on one of my Tumblr blogs, Lorraine?


Craig Lueschow (@CHOWSTL):





































First of all, I have never lived with my mom.










Lueschow's been the ugliest of the Danahead trolls smearing me.

My rebuttals to that moron:

















Terry Tuttle (@tut2112):














Tuttle, unlike the others, has largely left me alone... until today.

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.

Anti-Choice RedState.com contributor Loesch advocates for even tougher anti-abortion restrictions

Craven anti-reproductive choice psychopath Dana Loesch is using the Kermit Gosnell story to pro-choicers and abortion in general.

The real facts about the Kermit Gosnell story, via The Nation's Katha Pollitt:

Blood-spattered floors. Cat feces. Broken equipment. A 15-year-old giving anesthesia. Two women dead, countless more maimed and injured. Third-trimester fetuses delivered alive whose spines were then severed by the doctor. This was the Women’s Medical Society in West Philadelphia. This is what illegal abortion looks like. 

That’s right. Illegal abortion. A great deal has been written about Dr. Kermit Gosnell and the shocking conditions and practices at his facility, which was closed last March after a drug raid, and is back in the news because a grand jury has indicted him and nine employees for murder in the deaths of one woman and seven infants. There have been many calls for further restrictions on abortion, much revulsion expressed at post-viability abortions, much blame cast on prochoicers for supposedly doing nothing to stop him. But it has not been pointed out often enough that what Dr. Gosnell was doing was illegal in Pennsylvania. It is not legal to perform abortions after twenty-four weeks. It is not legal to slit the necks of born-alive fetuses at any age, much less at thirty weeks or even more. It is not legal for untrained, unlicensed employees to perform medical procedures. 

Now prochoicers are being blamed for this rogue operator. The grand jury report suggests that Tom Ridge, Republican governor from 1995 to 2001, discontinued inspections because prochoicers claimed they were too burdensome. The ones I talked to were skeptical. “We never lobbied against inspection,” Carol Tracy of the Women’s Law Project, which represents clinics in Pennsylvania, told me by phone. She pointed out that under Ridge’s Democratic predecessor, Bob Casey, who was famously opposed to legal abortion, Gosnell’s clinic was inspected three times, and each time serious problems were found. Nothing was done. Perhaps it’s relevant that Gosnell’s patients were poor, many of them immigrants—like 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar from Nepal, with whose murder Gosnell has been charged—who may not even have known that safe and legal abortion is available here. 
 Irin Carmon at Salon debunks the "it's being under-covered prior to this week" meme:

This week, the right wing has been working the refs, demanding to know why the press has been allegedly silent on the trial of Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia doctor who allegedly committed horrific acts against his patients with impunity for years. Fox News’ Kristen Powers kicked it off with an op-ed in USA Today, claiming, “The deafening silence of too much of the media, once a force for justice in America, is a disgrace.” Michelle Malkin has helped spearhead a Twitter campaign. Breitbart.com calls it “a full-blown, coordinated blackout throughout the entire national media.”   

If you’ve never heard of the Gosnell story, it’s not because of a coverup by the liberal mainstream media. It’s probably because you failed to pay attention to the copious coverage among pro-choice and feminist journalists, as well as the big news organizations, when the news first broke in 2011. There would be something rich, if it weren’t so infuriating, about these (uniformly male, as it happens) reporters and commentators scrambling to break open this shocking untold story. You know, the one that was written about here, hereand here, to name some disparate sources.

On the other hand, Loesch at RedState.com was using the Gosnell story as an excuse to drum up support for even tougher abortion restrictions and/or outright bans of the practice:
We need sensible abortion control. Think of how many classrooms of children lost their lives at the hands of Gosnell. The difference between Gosnell and some other abortionists is that Gosnell was caught. Gosnell didn’t use an AR-15 to snuff out the lives of these live infants. He assaulted them with scissors. Too many to count. There is a photo of one child (via the grand jury testimony) stuffed into a shoebox like a pet hamster. His little legs were too big so they hung out over the sides. Just one life.  
Call your lawmaker today. It’s time for common sense abortion control.

Typical from Loesch and Hoft: She falsely accuses Dr. Flood of "ceding US sovereignty to the UN"

Three of St. Louis' leading teabagger pro-2nd Amendment fetishists-- Dana Loesch, Chris Loesch, and Jim Hoft-- used today's gun safety rally in Downtown St. Louis City at Kiener Plaza to smear Mayor Francis Slay and promoted baseless United Nations-related conspiracy theories, such as falsely accusing speaker Dr. Robert Flood of "ceding United States sovereignty to the United Nations."


Earlier today a bunch of well-heeled progressive women from the nice, safe part of Missouri rolled into crime-ridden St. Louis city to condescend to city residents and hold signs proclaiming “Moms Demand Action! For Gun Sense In America!” Because what mom doesn’t demand action for things, gun sense especially? These moms aren’t like those pro-Second Amendment moms, who apparently do not demand gun sense, whatever that’s supposed to mean. 

St. Louis City Mayor Francis Slay stood onstage behind speaker Dr. Robert Flood, who remarked how the United States should cede sovereignty to the United Nations because they can deal better with gun crime. You know, the United Nations that has has as members of its security council top-rated countries like Rwanda and Pakistan who are famous for citizens’ safety. 

I was a bit surprised by this; as Democrats go, Slay is perceived as a moderate. He’s never glommed onto the incendiary rhetoric his party has used or insulted the tea party. While his office did give some preferential treatment to the Occupy movement, he also cracked down on them shortly thereafter and threw them out of the park in which they were squatting. Mass arrests occurred and the Occupiers responded by defacing a city employee’s house and landmarks around the city. Personally, I’ve always had a friendly relationship with members of Slay’s staff which again, is why I am surprised that he attended this rally. It was anything but a non-partisan rally. Slay’s people are always careful to keep him from very polarizing events but in this case, they failed.  

Other failures of this rally: only around 150 people from around the area attended. Also, after hearing about class warfare and “one percenters” for a year, I found it hysterical to see that the rally seemed to only attract the most well-heeled limousine liberals. ” I wouldn’t expect these women to understand the realities of city life or the need for us city residents to protect ourselves. 
Loesch does not know a damn thing about guns (other than rehashing her horseshit NRA talking points) if it bit her on the ass. She also called the pro-gun safety advocates "condescending." 

She further denounced the pro-gun safety protestors on Twitter and insulted [left-leaning] suburban (read: STL County) women:



She smeared the protestors as "bussed-in from the County progressives." I bet you if the protestors being bussed in supported Dana's viewpoint, she would cheer it. 









Your 2nd Amendment rights are NOT being eroded by these new gun safety proposals, Dana!







Actually, the people who live in gated subdivisions usually tend to be politically conservative, NOT liberal. 





You are a deranged douchebag, Dana!


WRONGO, Dana! That's a blatant generalization. 




Her husband, Chris, also took to Twitter and piled on to the distortions:

He repeated the "more people killed by hammers" lie.

He also an anti-choice zealot, just like his wife Dana.






Not necessarily related to today's gun safety event, but this tweet by him is so off the charts stupid that I have decided to call it our here:
He repeated another PPACA-related lie, this time being about "Obamacare will outlaw extreme sports".



Dr. Robert Flood, director of pediatric emergency at SLU, gave the keynote speech at the end of the rally. The good doctor urged supporters to call congress and turn your rights and sovereignty over to United Nations by supporting the Child Rights Act.

Hoft even took a cheap shot by repeating the far-right talking points equating the support of the Convention on the Rights of the Child Act was an "attempt to take away your rights and the nation's sovereignty over to the United Nations."



ST. LOUIS • The city of St. Louis is “armed to the hilt,” and must change that to prevent violence such as the crossfire shooting of a 4-year-old girl last week, Mayor Francis Slay told a crowd of gun-control advocates Saturday. 
Slay and other speakers called for assault weapons bans, universal background checks and other reforms in the wake of the massacre of 20 children and six educators by a gunman at a school in Newtown, Conn., in December. 
“I’m here because our streets of St. Louis are awash with guns,” Slay told the crowd. He noted that he was one of about 850 mayors nationally calling for stricter gun laws, with the focus on requiring universal background checks. Current federal law allows gun sales from unlicensed sellers with no such checks.
Steve Marx of St. Louis disagreed. He was one of about a dozen activists who stood at the edge of the rally holding up signs touting gun rights. Marx’s sign read, “Guns save lives.”
“They’re exploiting a tragedy committed by a madman. My rights are not what’s wrong,” Marx said. He said calls for universal background checks was an attempt by government at “total control” over gun owners. 
The gun-control rally was organized by a local chapter of the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. It included Clayton Mayor Linda Goldstein, University City Mayor Shelley Welsch and St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson. 
Organizers noted that Missouri’s two U.S. senators, Republican Roy Blunt and Democrat Claire McCaskill, had been invited to the rally but didn’t attend.
The national push toward sweeping gun control that seemed inevitable in the days and weeks after the Newtown massacre has slowed, leading some proponents to accuse President Barack Obama of having missed the moment.
