Join the Illinois Policy Institute, the Independent Women's Forum and Smart Girl Politics for a breakfast featuring Dana Loesch, Editor-in-Chief of Big Journalism. She will be leading a discussion on women, liberty, and America's future. Dana will address how liberty principles offer attractive policy solutions to the big challenges facing women today. Both men and women are welcome!However, on Friday night, Loesch abruptly announced that she wouldn't be attending:
Andrew Breitbart, being interviewed on FTR radio, said that Loesch was disinvited to the event because of the disgraceful comments she made where she applauded marines urinating on dead bodies and said she would "drop trou" and "do it too." Here's the audio from Breitbart, who starts by whining that "almost nobody in the conservative movement" came to his defense when he was booted from ABC election night coverage and then explains the situation with Loesch:
The Illinois Policy Institute is a conservative think tank that describes it's philosophy, in part, as follows:
The Illinois Policy Institute is dedicated to promoting the principles of liberty in all levels of government. While the word liberty can be interpreted in many ways and applied to many different arenas we focus specifically on economic liberty and free market principles.If even they think Loesch's comments crossed the line, then what in the world is up with CNN?

Dana's 15 minutes are just about up. But even if Dana loses her CNN or midday talk gig, they'll just replace her with some other right wing lying thug. It's time to call for a boycott of all Emmis advertisers until they change how KFTK is run.
ReplyDeleteCNN is busy trying to outFox Fox. So nothing is Off limits, and no lies will be questioned, particularly any regarding the President, his family, or his policies.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt Dana might have been too outrageous for the Illinois Policy Institute in the first place. They probably didn't completely understand who she was when they booked her and they can't afford to have her scare off their backers. But I hope CNN doesn't ditch Dana over one remark.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to be clear that dishonoring any fallen warriors is wrong, even Taliban fighters. And Dana was wrong to applaud that vile action by our troops. Still it was just one remark. And I hate to see anyone get ditched over one foolish remark.
ReplyDeleteShe has made MANY foolish remarks, and that is why she has radio and TV gigs in the first place, of course. While she often brings positive attention to grassroots activists, she also brings down the movement when she is vulgar like this.
DeleteSo all you chickenshit liberals are for tolerance and free speech ... so long as you agree with what's being said (i.e. it doesn't hurt your delicate sensibilities).
ReplyDeleteIt's not tolerant to disrespect a fallen combatant.
DeleteI bet dollars to doughnuts you don't have enough balls to approve and publish the comment I just submitted.
ReplyDeleteTake that anonymous! I just proved that I do "have enough balls." So there! And how courageous are you for commenting anonymously?
ReplyDeleteYeah, run away now.
May piss be upon them. All of them
ReplyDeleteDana Loesch is not even remotely qualified to sit on a panel with David Gergen, James Carville and Paul Begala. Her title as a CNN Contributor is a joke. I do hope she shoots off her mouth again and CNN will be forced to fire her.
