When Dana Loesch Makes a False Statement, She's Actually Asking If It's True

Wow, I have to say, this really explains everything! Dana Loesch said today that when she makes a false statement, she's actually just asking a question about whether it's true. Now I see why she thinks she's a journalist!

As I just pointed out, Loesch retweeted this completely false claim earlier today:

Eric Boehlert at Media Matters retweeted my blog post pointing out that it was a lie:


And here was Loesch's response:



See? So when Loesch said that Media Matters wrote 9 pages, she was actually "asking" if they wrote 9 pages!

I can't tell you how much clarity this adds to her rhetoric. So, for example, when she had Andrew Breitbart on her radio show to falsely claim that Shirley Sherrod is racist, they were really just asking if Sherrod was racist!

And when she falsely claimed that a UMKC professor said that "Violence is a tactic," she was actually just asking the question, "Do UMKC professors teach that violence is a tactic?"

And so on.

At last, it all makes sense! Dana Loesch has really just been asking questions this whole time!

Dana Loesch Reminds Us That Right-Wing Bloggers Lie Every Day

Check out this tweet from Dana Loesch:


This claim is absolutely, categorically false. Media Matters, to their credit, would not touch this story with a ten-foot pole. Eric Boehlert mentioned it in a post, but the post did not claim that the story was "fake;" rather, it criticized CNN for allowing Breitbart on the network after he has been discredited multiple times. And, for the record, Breitbart did not fail to hit Boehlert's low expectations for him: Breitbart explicitly cited a source that he later admitted was not credible to make the claim that Congressman Weiner "had relationships" with "quite young girls." Relying on unvetted information from completely untrustworthy sources is not the kind of garbage a respectable news organization should entertain.

So yeah, Loesch lied again, or at least did not bother to check her facts. Keep that in mind as she spends the next week lecturing people about how principled Breitbart bloggers are.

Lt. Gov. Cowers Before Breitbart Bloggers: Won't Defend Tilley

Earlier this week, the St. Louis Tea Party baselessly and absurdly attacked GOP House Speaker Tilley, questioning his leadership and judgment and suggesting he was associated with the New Black Panther Party:

When Tilley had the audacity to respond to their baseless allegations, the tea party flipped out, and even enlisted the editor of Breitbart's Big Government to help threaten Tilley, Peter Kinder, and Carl Bearden:

Of course, if the St. Louis tea party had any real political power left or ability to organize, they wouldn't need to be begging Breitbart bloggers for help. But more importantly, Peter Kinder was too scared to even stand up for his supposed friend Tilley, instead deciding to grovel to Flynn and asking to be left out of it.

Considering that the tea party has been attacking Tilley for weeks, is Kinder really so gutless as to not stick up for his ally when he is being baselessly smeared by Breitbart bloggers? How far the GOP has fallen.
