CNN’s Racist-Pig-In-Residence Dana Loesch tells ‘foreigner’ Bashir to ‘go back to his own country’CNN’s Loesch tells ‘foreigner’ Bashir to ‘go back to his own country’
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/20/cnns-loesch-tells-foreigner-bashir-to-go-back-to-his-own-country/ By David Ferguson Friday, April 20, 2012 16:31 EDT
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, a 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,” she called Bashir “an unintelligent hack” and “a foreigner” who isn’t qualified to cover U.S. politics. “I don’t want to hear a foreigner talking about media in this country, or politics in this country.” she said, “You don’t understand it.” She urged the award-winning journalist to go back to “his own country” and report on British politics and celebrities, “and be famous off of that.” You can hear the clip, embedded via Media Matters, below:

CNN contributor Dana Loesch: Women ‘get raped’ for supporting the left
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!” At the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, Breitbart angrily confronted a group of “Occupy” protesters. He called them “freaks and animals,” and told them to “stop raping people.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/17/dana-loesch-women-get-raped-for-supporting-the-left/ |

16. He delivers one of the most consistently solid shows on MSNBC.
|
I've gotten to the point where I turn off Andrea Mitchell...it's just too much, too many shows where she keeps flogging Ann Romney's MommyGate and the like. The others give a lot of time to right-wing pundits like SE Cupp (Alex Wagner has her on ALL THE TIME). But Bashir is consistently progressive. If you tune in you won't be disappointed.

13. I watched Bashir and he was dealing the Morman faith and lies
|
Then he detailed Rmoney's lies.
Why do these idiots hate facts. If his religion sees LIARS are scumbags who are heading for some hellhouse then Rmoney is going there according to his own religion. Why is she attacking Bashir. I did laugh but that's because I'm an atheist with a sense of humor. |

21. As I said the other day in my blog...
|
Obviously Loesch doesn't like foreign journalists reporting on certain topics, like ohhhh I don't know. Like the truth maybe? Sometimes I actually rely more on the foreign press to tell me what is going on in my own country, because most of our own press/media is corporate owned. Not saying that its not the same overseas, but at least their coverage is brutally honest (in most cases). Give Loesch the sack so she can go ahead and move on over to Faux News where we all know she wants to be.
