When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

ANDY BREITBART, TEAPUBLICAN BOTTOM FEEDER

Liberals Favorite Fodder "Andy Breitbart"


In case you missed NFTOS' Saturday blog, here is your intro:

 Breitbart Losing Control



Aside from looking and sounding like a guy who was in the midst of a serious 2 week crack binge, Breitbart lecturing anyone on the finer points of ”behaving” themselves is like Newt Gingrich lecturing people about the evils of sex outside of marriage.

Andrew Breitbart has made a living on being an asshat, irritating liberals, and editing tapes to suit his purposes. He’s the patsy for the tea bag movement, and has a nasty streak that only Aleister Crowley could be proud of. And he demonstrated just how psychotic he can be last Friday outside of CPAC 2012. (Above video)

The problem with Britefart is that he is the barker, snake oil bottler, and show tent maker for the CPAC/teabagger freak show that is out there drooling and seething from Obama derangement syndrome.

Breitbart, has been a totally discredited blogger for a long time - and he thinks he is relevant just why? He keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into the cesspool - which is probably the best place suited for this grotesque ignoramus. Poor thing has no insight as to just how absurd he looks with the plethora of distortions, doctored videos, and his continued use of non factual comments. He is often pathological in nature (liar).

This isn’t the first time that Breitbart has said something controversial and outrageous. At a rally in Massachusetts in September, Breitbart incited violence against liberals and claimed the military would side with the teabaggers if a civil war were to ever occur between conservatives and liberals. (HUH?)
“I’m under attack all the time. They call me gay, there are death threats… There are times where I’m not thinking as clearly as I should, and in those unclear moments, I always think to myself, ‘Fire the first shot.’ Bring it on. Because I know who’s on our side. They can only win a rhetorical and propaganda war. They cannot win. We outnumber them in this country, and we have the guns… I’m not kidding. They talk a mean game, but they will not cross that line because they know what they’re dealing with. And I have people who come up to me in the military, major named people in the military, who grab me and they go, ‘Thank you for what you’re doing, we’ve got your back.”


Maybe he needs to put the crack pipe down long enough to see that the boogeyman is not out to get him. You can't make this shit up readers, I am thinking him and Loesch have tip toed through the tulips one two many times!


CPAC 2012 confrontation with teabgger Loesch and Breitbart, Loesch appears to be Breitbart's safety detail (sarcastic)




Breitbarts pejorative talk; anti this, anti that - it sounds to me like these two "journalist" (Loesch/ Breitbart) are auditioning for the Taliban.

Breitbart's "best of":

Breitbart Inadvertently Admits To Lying About Sherrod's NAACP Audience

 The Kenneth Gladney Charade Collapses

 Big Government Pushes State Department Gun Trafficking Myth

 Breitbart Blog Thinks James O'Keefe Invented Ambush Reporting

 Breitbart Editor Still Has Not Retracted False Claim About Murder At Occupy Savannah

 Breitbart Blogger Attacks Press For Claiming Perry Went Birther; Perry Doubles Down On Birther Rhetoric

 Breitbart Smear: Obama (And Thousands More) "Marched With" New Black Panthers

 Breitbart Calls Janeane Garofalo "Hollywood's Sympathy Fuck"

 CNN's Loesch Dissembles In Order To Attack Obama For Pointing Out Booing At Gay Soldier

 Breitbart Blogger: Obama Is "An Ideological Muslim, ... Clinton Was An Ideological Lesbian"

 Breitbart Website Finds Palin Support In Rasmussen Poll That Didn't Include Her

 Breitbart Blogger: U.S. "Open[s] The Doors To Sodomites From Around The World"

 Big Journalism Defends Bachmann Staff, Compares ABC To Nazis

 
I could go on and on readers, as Media Matters For America host over 32 pages, 30 links per page, equaling 960 stories on Breitbart, Breitbart's "Big" websites, and Dana Loesch.

The facts are overwhelming, and it just comes to a point where you say, these two "freaks" are total douche bags and then move on. But since Andy decided to 'retweet" me last night, I thought I'd give my many readers a peak-see at this king of asshats, this king of insane, this king of slimy fecal matter that is teabagger!

"Retweet" by the bottom feeder


Andy was busy last night, as he also pissed off Current TV's Keith Olbermann:
Olbermann Vs Bottom Feeder

At this point in time, Andy's the guy with no shame, no credibility to further damage, and yet a tiny hint of celeb from his Acorn destroying "one hit wonder" with similarly disgraced and discredited James O'Keefe.

Why anyone actually takes this idiot seriously at this point is a mystery to me. Birds of a feather flock together I guess.

Breitbart is the quintessential bottom feeder, and something tells us he was very disliked by his very own parents. He will be the source of the noisy misinformation that drifts into the echo chamber and gets amplified by the next level of questionable "experts" and propagandists - enter Dana Loesch and Breitbart's "Big Journalism" host of talented bloggers. (sarcastic)

So the next time faux news/CNN/ and Dana Loesch radio says "Sources say"...there's a great chance that source is the discredited bottom feeder aptly named, Andrew Breitbart.

Virginia, Its Not Just For Lovers Anymore

Virginia, its "not just for lovers" anymore

Bob McDonnell, and radical teapublican legislators in Richmond ready to ram bills down residents throats.

Radical Red Virginia: Right Off The Cliff




It's only been a few weeks since VA's legislature convened in Richmond, and to date more radical ideology and policies have been rammed down our throats this session than the previous 20 years.

If you "Google" Virginia is "not for lovers", you shall see a plethora of reason why Virginia has the reputation it does, which includes laws and bills so archaic that once read - you shall believe that Virginia is still operating pre 1860. So as to keep step with this mentality, radical bills to pass Virginia Legislature in 2012 are:

Virginia Senate votes to repeal limit on gun purchases.
Virginia is to effectively change the state slogan from "Virginia is for lovers" to "Virginia, gunrunners' paradise.

"easier to buy a gun in Virginia than to vote" 




Bills still on the table for teapublican overreach are:

Welfare drug testing
Teachers' contracts
"Tebow bill'
Sunday hunting
Eminent domain


Here is our lovely Govna dropping a f bomb on a radio show, while campaigning for the Govna's office. Let me just say that the word itself doesn't offend me, the hypocrisy of it all does.

View more videos at: http://nbcwashington.com.


This blog has had over twenty million hits (see below snapshot) in just about two years - with the many of these being repeat offenders or return hits - which tells me my readership agrees with my position, or better yet, they are teabaggers that truly are gluttons for punishment, either way the above scenario fellow progressives are lessons learned, learn to never vote teabagger, for if you do, you truly get what you deserve!

NFTOS registers over 20 million hits in less than two years

My state is moving back 150 years, to a lovely time of slavery, succession, and using rope for belts. Make no mistake, Govna Bob McDonnell is as radical as they come, and we in Virginians have endured a major dose of extremism for sometime from this power grabbing, government overreaching thug! And next up, Ken "hide your boob" Cuccinelli.

Maddow shows us the true Bob McDonnell




It doesn't take one long to quickly learn that in Virginia, "hillbillies" and "Rednecks" are major players (circa 2012) in Virginia's strife to remain stuck in the 1860's. In fact, if they could get away with it, Virginian's would love to be still occupied and entrenched in this era.

The CSA is very strong on the "Old Dominion". A old family friends son posts often and frequently on Facebook:

In open, most are intelligent enough to obscure these ideals, but then again, some are ignorant enough to not give a shit and openly suggest that Virginia regress to pre 1860's.

Govna Bob promising not to be "Arrogant" and "overreaching."


Yet Gov. Bob McDonnell has disagreed with the Democrats’ and NFTOS' contention that the GOP has ignored the call not to overreach.

Govna Bob also said the perception that teapublicans are single-mindedly pursuing a social agenda has been created by Democrats and, in part, by the news media. The perception is there Einstein because it exists! If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, then certainly it must be a duck.

Govna Bob:
“I think it’s absolutely false to say that there’s been an overreach and an undue focus on social issues,” he said.

Before last year's elections, then-Senate Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw, D-Fairfax, told anyone who would listen that if Republicans gained control of the Senate, the legislature would push through a slew of bills related to guns, abortions and voting:
"I was 100 percent accurate," he said last week. "We're on our way to turning this state into another Mississippi."

Clearly the Govna has overstepped his bounds, and its Virginians whom suffer. Why, because the over zealous Govna can only gain the attention of his national radical base by evoking hard lined extreme governing - otherwise his can consider his chances and vision to be Vice POTUS to be nil to none.

Consider yourselves on notice readers - that in the "General Election" in November - there is a high probability that this asshat (Bob McDonnell) will be on the GOP ticket. If this indeed is the case good luck with that!

Before you all start ranting, I have had a home in Virginia for over thirty eight years, and I know Virginia better than most. It's a state rich in history, with beautiful landscape, but also rich in it's attitude and mindset of - backwoods radical pre 1860 ideology.

Red Meat For Their Unlettered Base

Nothing Says "American" Like A CPAC Convention

Much to sell, but little to offer!

CPAC 2012, not just your average idiot in attendance.

If the Conservative Political Action Conference can be expected to accomplish anything more than angry bellowing, it is to reliably embarrass every decent and sane conservative in America. Sometimes the problem is a conspiratorial extremist co-sponsor, like the John Birch Society; sometimes the problem is a certifiable kook giving the keynote address, like Glenn Beck; and sometimes the problem is just vicious bullying of gay conservatives, who have been officially expelled from the conference. But now the annual Washington showcase of the far right is plunging toward new depths of disgrace, by featuring "white nationalists" among its speakers.

And so, a collage if you will, of why not to vote teapublican in November.


Ann "the man" Coulter


Because it's pointed out to me every time she is in front of the camera, I always forget to listen to what she says, and I end up looking at the "Adams Apple" on this "woman". Seriously, we stopped listening to this vile hunk of hate years ago.


Chuck Woolery of "love connection", "we'll be back in two and two fame"


Maybe its best that Chuck stick with what he knows best...... Mind numbing host of 30 year old lame TV.


Santorum


Speaks for itself.


Bachmann


The call her "Batshit" crazy for a reason.


Herman "the pervert" Cain


Rick  Perry:



"In the early years of his political career, Rick Perry began hosting fellow lawmakers, friends and supporters at his family’s secluded West Texas hunting camp, a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance.

“Niggerhead,” it read."
 
 
Glenn "Conspiracy Theory" Beck

Nothing says bullshit, and fear like Glennbeckistan.


Newt-ron-bomb throwing tons of red meat to unlettered teabaggers:
Where do you start with this "anti establishment" diatribe? To much nonsense, not enough time.

Right-wing activist and blogger Andrew Breitbart at CPAC must be under a lot of stress lately from legal battles and having so much of his hard work discredited.  "BEHAVE YOURSELF", " STOP RAPPING THE PEOPLE", "YOU FREAKS". I knew he was F**cked up, but this is overboard, even for this teabagger! Maybe "straight jacket" would suit him best.


Occupiers tell Andy, "Racist, sexist, anti-gay! Right wing bigots go away!"


Mr. Dana Loesch  (Chris Loesch) comes out from behind his wife for once, maybe he does actually have a pair, but the again... GOP Patriotism in the US has been renamed terrorism by NFTOS. (See closing remark below)


I would tend to be more convinced of the "patriotism" by this (Steve Chowder) "American" rapper/comedian (sarcastic) - that is if he wasn't a part time Canadian.

Loesch and Crowder have proved that "white hip hop" is indeed and oxymoron, and that it needs to end...............and end now. Most of NFTOS' millions of readers know I've never really been a big fan of Dana "Diva" Loesch - and I would like to add she's never looked more tasteless than in this video with husband Chris.

Based on these videos, it seems inevitable that the tea party movement will continue to ooze and slime its way from town to town enveloping helpless citizens until – spoiler alert– some brave soul cripples it with a fire extinguishers and drops it off in the Arctic, better yet drop them off at Newts Moon Base!

If you want to declare a winner from CPAC, a good case could be made for Barack Obama, mainly because this movement underscored the degree to which every likely GOP presidential candidate had both serious and major malfunctions.
"in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. ~ Declaration of Independence: July 4, 1776

Translated, "When it becomes necessary for one group of people to break away politically from (the teabagger) another and assume all the powers and rights of an independent people, out of respect for everyone else, those people need to explain why they think they need to break away."

I think the above videos explain everything!

I would tell the CPAC partiers, that even Napoleon Bonaparte thought he was being patriotic!

The Truth About Birth Control

BIRTH CONTROL

Often is the case with teapublicants - facts are often manipulate to suit their audience, or better yet, completely ignored. Take POTUS' birth control stance - "Most of Obama's "Controversial" birth control rule was law during Bush years."

Radical teabaggers have been livid over POTUS' administration rule requiring employers to offer birth control to its employees, when in fact most firms already had to do it!

Teapublicants and conservatives make it really, really difficult for us to avoid focusing on their lapses in intelligence. And with a conga-line of top shelf teapublicans front and center for the 2012 presidential nomination, we're being treated to more examples of buffoonery from these people.

In the last six or seven months alone, there are enough examples of teapublicants botching very basic ideas and facts to fill volumes of "Bushism" style novelty calendars.

What teapublicants once wanted is no longer on the table, for they now have turned coat and backtracked, an ideology they envision, a time when horses were the only transportation mode, where men owned slaves, and when rope was a high fashioned type of belt that held ones pants up.






First let me say the comment in the video about Rachael and her parents not using contraceptives, totally putrid, but this is the "conservatives" we come to know and love. Second, as always, if it isn't teapublican, its got to be "unconstitutional"! How many times have we heard this theme from camp teabag?  These facts are indeed the answer as to why CPAC 2012 is lobbing hate grenades towards Maddow. But often is case, facts frequently offend the less intelligent. And yes teapublicants, your very existence is why the scientific community created contraceptives - for there is no life guard at the gene pool, so please remember to breed responsibly.



As reported by "motherjones":

President Barack Obama's decision to require most employers to cover birth control and insurers to offer it at no cost has created a firestorm of controversy. But the central mandate—that most employers have to cover preventative care for women—has been law for over a decade. This point has been completely lost in the current controversy, as Republican presidential candidates and social conservatives claim that Obama has launched a war on religious liberty and the Catholic Church.

Despite the longstanding precedent, "no one screamed" until now, said Sara Rosenbaum, a health law expert at George Washington University.

In December 2000, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled that companies that provided prescription drugs to their employees but didn't provide birth control were in violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prevents discrimination on the basis of sex. That opinion, which the George W. Bush administration did nothing to alter or withdraw when it took office the next month, is still in effect today—and because it relies on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, it applies to all employers with 15 or more employees. Employers that don't offer prescription coverage or don't offer insurance at all are exempt, because they treat men and women equally—but under the EEOC's interpretation of the law, you can't offer other preventative care coverage without offering birth control coverage, too.

"It was, we thought at the time, a fairly straightforward application of Title VII principles," a top former EEOC official who was involved in the decision told Mother Jones. "All of these plans covered Viagra immediately, without thinking, and they were still declining to cover prescription contraceptives. It's a little bit jaw-dropping to see what is going on now…There was some press at the time but we issued guidances that were far, far more controversial."

After the EEOC opinion was approved in 2000, reproductive rights groups and employees who wanted birth control access sued employers that refused to comply. The next year, in Erickson v. Bartell Drug Co., a federal court agreed with the EEOC's reasoning. Reproductive rights groups and others used that decision as leverage to force other companies to settle lawsuits and agree to change their insurance plans to include birth control. Some subsequent court decisions echoed Erickson, and some went the other way, but the rule (absent a Supreme Court decision) remained, and over the following decade, the percentage of employer-based plans offering contraceptive coverage tripled to 90 percent.

"We have used [the EEOC ruling] many times in negotiating with various employers," says Judy Waxman, the vice president for health and reproductive rights at the National Women's Law Center. "It has been in active use all this time. [President Obama's] policy is only new in the sense that it covers employers with less than 15 employees and with no copay for the individual. The basic rule has been in place since 2000."

Not even religious employers were exempt from the impact of the EEOC decision. Although Title VII allows religious institutions to discriminate on religious grounds, it doesn't allow them to discriminate on the basis of sex—the kind of discrimination at issue in the EEOC ruling. DePaul University, the largest Roman Catholic university in America, added birth control coverage to its plans after receiving an EEOC complaint several years ago. (DePaul officials did not respond to a request for comment.)

As recently as last year, the EEOC was moderating a dispute between the administrators of Belmont Abbey, a Catholic institution in North Carolina, and several of its employees who had their birth control coverage withdrawn after administrators realized it was being offered. The Weekly Standard opined on the issue in 2009—more proof that religious employers were being asked to cover contraception far before the Obama administration issued its new rule on January 20 of this year.

"The current freakout," Judy Waxman says, is largely occurring because the EEOC policy "isn't as widely known…and it hasn't been uniformly enforced." But it's still unclear whether Obama's Health and Human Services department will enforce the new rule any more harshly than the old one. The administration has already given organizations a year-long grace period to comply. Asked to explain how the agency would make employers do what it wanted, an HHS official said that it would "enforce this the same way we enforce everything else in the law."
 

But it is important to remember that those who are most loudly criticizing the President and his policies are those whose policies and ideology created the economic mess he inherited.

There's a spectrum of anti-intellectualism on the right, and that's a fact. The teapublicants spectrum of ignorance runs the gamut.

Categories or levels of unlettered teapublicants:
Genuinely Smart but Wrong,
Deliberately Ignorant,
Un- or Mis-educated,
Incompetent and Incapable,
Genuinely Stupid.

For teapublicants, education and intellectualism is the enemy of their wafer-thin bumper-sticker marketing strategy, and in so doing they deny their base facts - which has become a matter of survival for the teapublican party.

Teapublicants are welcome to act like idiots as a means of pandering to their dumbass base. Just leave the rest of us alone. America needs more intelligence, and I don't think we can afford to wait for the reich-wing to catch up to speed.

Facts are, 97 percent of catholic women use contraceptives. The 2004 John Jay Report was based on a study of 10,667 sexual abuse allegations against 4,392 priests accused of engaging in sexual abuse of a minor between 1950 and 2002. One priest even abused 200 deaf boys.

This church has no right to telling anyone what to use and what not to use, and for the Holier than thou conservative jumping this band wagon, I say two things to you:
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ~ Mohandas Gandhi,

I respect those who oppose contraception and thus embrace the alternatives, overpopulation and starvation.

During the time of publication of this blog, BREAKING NEWS from the White House is that POTUS will re-align his administrations rule on contraceptives. Stay tuned!


UPDATE: 2/10/2012 13:07

POTUS Speaks:

"No woman’s health should depend on who she is or where she works or how much money she makes. Every woman should be in control of the decisions that affect her own health. Period." -President Obama

I find fault with all the right wing media outlets - based on the fact they just can't tell the truth. For instance, after POTUS' speech today (noon EST) regarding the backlash from teabaggers and catholic pedophiles alike - these media muckrakers are saying that POTUS "walked back" his contraceptive mandate. That is just not true.

Nothing was actually changed if you read the mandate and comprehend what the President has said. What he did was clarify that women's health care coverage will continue to be affordable to ALL women regardless of catholic church opposition. He actually, used intelligence and tactful demeanor, and told the pedophilia catholic church and radical teapublicants to kiss his Presidential posterior!

DANA " TEABAGGER DIVA" LOESCH AT IT AGAIN

Teapublicant Diva Dana Loesch


CNN's Loesch: Liberals Want To "Tear Apart" And "Control" Your Rights, Just Like In Nazi Germany And "Mother Russia"

I am not sure if CNN's Loesch is auditioning for Faux News, or that CNN is now aptly named CNN "Faux News LITE"




Holy crap, its the NAZIs! We are surrounded! Yes, those Fascist Nazi Communist Liberals, they will destroy us all. Or at least keep Dana employed for a while.

Sean Hannity, Intellectual Powerhouse, Or Just Another Idiot?

Hannity proving at an early age that his life long dream and abition is to be a troll


Sean Hannity, yes the same idiot who claimed that every single one of the millions of WMD that Saddam Hussein allegedly had was "smuggled" out of the country and into Syria "completely undetected by the CIA, NSA or the U.S. military - and that's why there were none found after we invaded Iraq.

And research shows that this was:

After Hans Blix and the UN weapons inspectors said there were no WMDs in Iraq, and

Before the White House itself admitted there were no WMDs in Iraq in 2006

So as not to outdo himself, Hannity takes stupid to another level, and Ed Shultz of MSNBC fame is there to point out the insanity of it all.

Shultz PAWNING Sean Hannity:



Typical Hannity, his is not just a liar, he's pathological. Sean is a national pariah when it comes to this type of hype and deceit, (Something Roger Ailes of Faux News encourages) and its obvious that Sean is in way over his head here. This goes well beyond his normal level of anti-Obama derangement.

Sean Hannity's motto:
"Never let facts stand in the way of a good partisan screed."


And you wonder and ask yourself why Faux News viewers are the dumbest on earth?

You don't have to watch Sean very long to know he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. The endless lies that spew from Sean are a plethora:

Hannity Lies

"The Blowhard Next Door"


So I ask you readers, is Sean Hannity an intellectual powerhouse, or just another idiot?

LOESCH FOLLOW UP (See previous blog)

Loesch and Martin

Roland Martin has been suspended from CNN after tweeting that, “If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl.” He then insisted that, rather than making a joke about violence against men who are attracted to men, he really just hates soccer: “@DrMChatelain @notjustsexuality well that shows how ignorant you are. I rip on soccer all of the time. Learn to pay attention!”

It’s the second time in a month that CNN commentators have come under fire for controversial comments: Dana Loesch recently cheered reports of members of the United States Marine Corps urinating on the bodies of dead Afghans and suggested that had she been present, she would have joined in. But while Martin apologized and will experience an indefinite suspension, CNN and Loesch refused to apologize for her remarks, and she’s remained on the air.

The clear difference between the two cases? A sense that CNN’s audience was offended. GLAAD, which keeps a careful eye on defamation against gays and lesbians in the media, moved quickly to call for Martin’s dismissal and to track the network’s response to the incident. CNN got the message that its own constituents were upset, and that it would suffer consequences — or at least a lot of annoyance — if it failed to act.

Loesch’s comments on the other hand, offended human rights advocates and decent people everywhere. But that’s not the same as running afoul of an organization with a well-established plan to respond to these kinds of events and a well-worn path to media outlets who would cover and amplify their response. While Loesch’s comments were reprehensible, there was also no organized group who was likely or able to hold CNN accountable for her words, and for continuing to let her appear on-air without penalty.

Taken together, the way CNN handled Martin’s and Loesch’s comments makes it look like CNN has no consistent internal values, and no internal standard for how to respond when it commenters express sentiments that are an anathema to those values. I’m glad to know, per CNN’s statement, that “Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated.” But why should it take several days of consideration for CNN to arrive at that conclusion? If the network’s truly committed to the proposition that violence against gay people is no joking matter, that’s something it should know in advance, and CNN should have a personnel policy in place to determine what the appropriate penalty is when someone violates their standards. Similarly, whether Loesch’s comments violate CNN’s internal values shouldn’t be something that’s determined by the level of outrage outside the network’s headquarters.

The above portion of blog brought to you by thinkprogress.

I found this on a teapublican blog:
"We commend GLAAD for their quick and intensive response to Martin’s attacks, and we commend CNN for taking this initial step."
"CNN now must ensure that all their employees receive the message that “Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated.”

If indeed Martin's comments where and are construed as wrong, then Loesch's willingness to say she would drop trou and piss on dead Taliban certainly falls in line with this CNN Statement:

“Roland Martin’s tweets were regrettable and offensive,” CNN said in a statement published by The Washington Post. “Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being.”

I say, we start banning CNN, sign a petition protesting Loesch's comments - that is until they keep with "policy" - and dump the hack (AKA Dana Loesch) as well.

DANA LOESCH & ARI FLEISCHER

DANA LOESCH
Neither are just another pretty face, more like liars and deceivers.

Make no mistake, Dana Loesch is everything disgusting about a teabagger - just all one ball of crap rolled into one. Loesch a college drop out never earning a journalism degree, and this makes sense, as I just don't see "writer" in her. She self professes on a daily basis while standing on her hypocritical lectern on how much "fact" is provided in her writings, yet time and time again, we find this blockhead missing the truth by about this....................................................................................much!


ARI FLEISCHER

On Friday, ThinkProgress exclusively reported that Ari Fleischer was involved in Komen’s strategy regarding Planned Parenthood. They revealed that, in December, Fleischer was retained by Komen to advise how to fill their top communications position, and he drilled candidates on how they would handle the Planned Parenthood issue.

Yesterday, Ad Age further reveals that, throughout the controversy, Fleischer has personally advised Komen CEO Nancy Brinker on how to handle the Planned Parenthood issue.

Friday, Fleischer told ThinkProgress he had no involvement in the crisis communications effort. In an email sent to ThinkProgress after the publication of our story, Fleischer claimed our entire report was “inaccurate,” “unfair,” and “simply false” because it created the implication that he was involved with Komen’s strategy in recent days.Yesterday, ThinkProgress asked Fleischer to explain his email now that he’s acknowledged he personally advised Komen’s CEO on Planned Parenthood strategy in January and February. Fleischer now claims that he was not involved in strategy because he did not participate “in any meetings or on any conference calls.”  As for why he objected to ThinkProgress’ initial report — which now appears to have understated the true scope of his involvement — Fleischer said it failed to get the “emphasis right.”


Now enter Dana Loesch, whom never misses an opportunity to be the asshat of the century. Fleischer and Loesch have often worked frequently on CNN during GOP primaries - so in her infinite wisdom to blast others before having facts Loesch once again opens mouth and inserts foot.

I captured screenshots last night as I thought Loesch and Breitbart would edit the content:

Dana's blog:



More Blog:


Dana's troglodyte fan base chimes in:



More non-whimsical  nosnense for the reich-wing nuts:


This screenshot shows a post asking Loesch to retract. This points to the error of the "Diva's" ways, and the story falls apart:





Lets be clear readers, receiving an award from the right wing fringe group "AIM" (Accuracy In media) is like getting a humanitarian award from the Adolph Hitler Society. Speaking of oxymoron's, Loesch and facts, they go together like:
Facebook and Privacy, Middle East and Peace, Susan Boyle and sexy, Bill Gates and poverty, and porn & subtle.

So it would make great sense why Loesch wins the AIM award, two peas in a pod so to speak. Despicable and vile go together well, hence AIM awarding Loesch the "accuracy" award. This is like awarding you kid high school honours for failing high school, or acknowledging David Koresh for mass murdering!

Dana the Diva is a certified lunatic and a modern-day version of Phyllis Schlafly.

Here is an entire blog that solely concentrates on the BS that comes from this radical teabagger.

Dana Loesch wouldn't know the truth if she fell over it. A popular theme from this darling (sarcastic) - Loesch's favourite spew, "The Media Narrative Gets it Wrong."! The one thing that Loesch is good at - and that is insulting anyone whom doesn't align with her f**ked up mentality!

Fleischer is the creature who spent years supporting the insidious lies emanating from the Offal office of G.W. Bush .
Satan: "Ari, your work is not done yet".
Ari: "Yes, master".
The very fact that Ari Fleischer even commented on this problem shows he is much more involved than he admits. If Nancy Brinker as CEO makes $500,000 salary, god knows how much Ari and Ms. Handel make for their input. Those people never do anything unless it pays big money.

"Fleischer, who retains a host of influential political and sports clients, makes his money as head of a private consulting company which markets itself as being able to “successfully deal with the media.” If this is his idea of successfully dealing with the media, I'd hate to see what he thought a disaster was. Considering that George W. Bush left office being universally regarded as the worst President this country had ever had except possibly for Ronnie Reagan, why would anybody think seriously about hiring this criminal? (Valerie Plame outing)

So, Ari and Handel, in one fell swoop, destroyed the credibility of one of the most revered and respected brands in the country by trying to politicize one of the most serious heath concerns of all women. Idiots in the name of what? forcing their archaic beliefs on people?

Here's a PR Tip Fleischer should have given Komen: don't ask a former presidential press secretary who's still politically active for media management advice when you're in trouble for turning an apolitical issue into a political one.

Ari Fleischer and Dana Loesch are in essence liars working for liars.

The truth about Loesch:

She is Andy Breitbarts editor. And yes, it’s a perfect fit because Big Journalism exists as an open forum for right-wing misinformation about the press (as opposed to a site that produces actual journalism), and Loesch has made a name for herself within the RW blogosphere by making shit up. (She does the same on the AM dial.)

Dana Loesch claims to be a champion of "conservative feminism," took all of ten minutes to undermine any inkling of moral authority she might have on the subject during a Twitter argument with actual feminists not long ago.

So, first of all, Loesch's claim that "liberal feminists" have an issue with "being pretty" is laughable. The vast majority of feminists I've met don't think there's something wrong with "being pretty:" rather, they simply think that women shouldn't be defined by their looks. It's a critique of the all-too-obvious fact that society often overemphasizes the standards for attractiveness in women, and often underemphasizes other abilities.

Got that? While bragging about how much more enlightened "conservative feminsts" are compared to "liberal feminists," Loesch claims that the people arguing with her have IBTs (which, according to some societal standards, is less cool than GBTs?). So even as she is arguing that liberal feminists place restrictions on women based on their looks, Loesch attacks the women trying to have a discussion with her based on their looks! Or at least, what she imagines about their looks. Could she be more ridiculous?

Loesch often berates the "Liberal media". There is no such thing as the "Liberal Media." It's just a Right-Wing diversion trick to give Faux News more ratings, and for the corporatist media to pander to their interests.

Loesch's transformation from mom blogger to political provocateur has been equal parts of bullshit and mind numbing lunacy! Believe it or not Loesch was once a Democrat.

Loesch likes to be polarizing, Ann Coulter type of polarization, sharp tongue in hand if you will. Loesch like most teabaggers make themselves out to be a victim, "woe-is-me".

Steven Truesdell a progressive, photographer, and pal of Loesch says:

"I do like her, and a couple times a year we'll be at a social event and have a nice conversation. I do think there's a good heart there; I just disagree with everything above the neck."
Loesch's ideology strikes a chord with most Americans, conservative or Liberal, that's just her nature. Loesch turned coat when she met her husband, a man with less testicles than his wife. It's he whom wanted the voice for his ideology, it's he - the one who didn't have the backbone himself to stand and rant on courthouse lawns, what better patsy then to throw the diva under the bus an make her your voice. I just respect a man so much whom literally hides behind his wife!

If Loesch wants to be respected as a "journalist", then maybe she should start with just the facts, not half cocked and half- baked thoughts. This fiasco alone shows that facts are not important to Loesch, raging against the machine at any costs is the "narrative" for this teabagger.

To date, Loesch has still failed to practice what she preaches, that is retract the lies and bullshit in her blog yesterday, and knowing what we know about this douche bag, something tells us hell will freeze over before she does!


UPDATE: 16:39 2/8/2012

Loesch issues her version of retraction:

"*UPDATE: After publishing the initial article and blaming Fleischer for Daly’s decisions (they spelled it “Dailey” on Twitter), Think Progress spoke with Komen CEO Nancy Brinker who discussed the scope of Fleischer’s advice to the organization. After the proverbial trash hit the fan Brinker had asked Fleischer of his opinion on the matter. Think Progress, eager to avoid a retraction, pounced on this to justify their earlier smear, done before speaking to anyone at the foundation. They probably feel as though they just escaped the guillotine. Unfortunately for them, my point still stands, and yes, they still blamed Fleischer for decisions made by a former Pelosi aide. Komen asking Fleischer’s opinion after the fact has no effect on the validity of my accusation made against Think Progress. It does however, place greater significance on how hard they’re working to deflect any and all blame towards a former Pelosi aide."

This is your a-typical "I f**cked up" apology from Loesch, admitting that she is wrong would be totally out of character for this dimwit, for God Knows she thrives on her ability to never be wrong and err. Loesch' s point is often that she has no point - useful idiot comes to mind. Thanks for the retraction Diva Dana, even if it wasn't one, we know what you meant, if anyone is "deflecting" its Loesch!

"A slick move, to blame the other team for your side’s transgressions in order to deflect. Sources close to the Komen Foundation tell me Fleischer wasn’t involved in any way with Komen’s Planned Parenthood strategy"....... yet Ari admits his wrong deeds.....facts still seem to elude this queen of hate. Get over yourself Diva, you aren't that important!

Southern Strategy

GOP - "I can 't be a racist, my best friend is black"


We have learned of late how truly racist teapublicans are, but that's ok. Why you ask? Because "One of their Best Friends is Black".

Some of you may recognize this from the 1960s. It was the standard moderate-to-liberal White excuse that they couldn’t possibly be racist, because … “one of my best friends is Black,” or, more in keeping with the decade, “one of my best friends is a Negro.”

It’s sort of like the 2000 RNC Convention in Philadelphia, whose stage looked like a road show revival of ‘Porgy and Bess’ but when the cameras panned to the obligatory crowd reaction scenes, it was a sea of White. Or the Sarah Palin rallies in 2008, which were seas of White, excepting the poor undercover Secret Service Detail, who were the only Black men (or Black Persons) in the arena, and must have felt pretty strange. After all, Secret Service are, by nature, undercover, and being the only Black person in a suit in an entire arena of Righty-Whities - coming to listen to racially coded language has got to be a surreal experience that few have ever experienced.

Remember back when - with former CEO Herman Cain on the stage, the once “Who Wants To Be President?” Game Show, or, perhaps, “Future American Idol” - the stage is Lily-White with the exception of Herman Cain, the non-politician candidate who gets in, while the former Governor of Louisiana, Buddy Roehmer, is consistently excluded, etc.

Why? Because “some of our Best Friends are Black.”

As if that were an excuse. But even Juan Williams, the fired NPR pundit who found that serving his new master at Faux News uses the excuse. In his book tour and to this day, he maintains that his comments that Muslims make him nervous - his defense is that he was active in the Civil Rights movement and wrote a book about how Blacks have been discriminated against.

Or, absurdly, “I can’t be a racist, because some of my best friends are Black.”

I offer this as preface, because this absurdist formulation has reared its head on many occasions this teapublcian campaign season.

But there is no doubt that the GOP is not a party for “Blacks.” Sorry. Teapublicans claim, as does Herman Cain, that if Blacks merely understand their policies, then they’d overcome their “brainwashing,” and vote teapublican.

One cannot forget that the "contemporary Republican Party" was born with the Southern Strategy, winning over the former Jim Crow South to its side of the political aisle, and as a backlash against the civil rights movement. This is a formula for a politics of white grievance mongering and white victimology; a dream world where white conservatives are oppressed, their rights infringed upon by a tyrannical federal government and elite liberal media that are beholden to the interests of the “undeserving poor,” racial minorities, gays, and immigrants.

In keeping with this script in order to win over Red State America, the 2012 teapublican presidential candidates have certainly not disappointed. Both overt racism and dog whistles are delectable temptations that the teapublican presidential nominees cannot resist. With the election of the country’s first African-American president, and a United States that is less white and more diverse, the GOP is in peril. In uncertain times, you go with what you know. For the teapublican Party, this means “dirty boxing,” digging deep into the old bucket of white racism, and using the politics of fear, hostility and anxiety to win over white voters by demagogue Obama.

Racism is an assault on the common good. Racism also does the work of dividing and conquering people with common interests. While the 2012 teapublican candidates are stirring the pot of white racial anxiety, this is a means to a larger end—the destruction of the country’s social safety net, in support of vicious economic austerity policies, and protecting the kleptocrats and financiers at the expense of the working and middle classes.

The point is as clear as a crystal ball. The issue is exclusion, and when you’re as ham-handedly race-obsessed as to put up Herman Cain in as the "token Black" for all teapublicans to an almost entirely White audience, or Ali Akbar as the token Black for all (virtually all-White) Tea Partiers, you DO have a racial problem.

If you watch Faux News, you will note the astonishing profusion of Black “political strategists,” which would seem odd, given their actual proportion of the GOP political strategist class. Couldn’t be intentional “image” manipulation could it?

But you turn the outrageous tokenism inside out and it gives you the true color of the ( Southern-based) GOP’s racial obsessions. The invisible hand always leaves a footprint, and, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

It’s a denial of facts and a denial of reality, but then, perhaps it’s like Ayn Rand trying to convince greedy millionaires that their rapaciousness is actually moral, that they are the “Atlases” of civilization who hold the world on their mighty shoulders every time they throw a widow or an orphan into the street to get their hands on another piece of real estate.

In this case, since some of their "Best Friends are Black", they can’t possibly be racists.

Alas, accusing a teapublican in this benighted age of denial of facts is, alas, increasingly redundant.

But be careful, before you accuse me of being unfair to teapublicans, I want you to know that this is perceptibly impossible. Why you ask? Because some of my best friends are teapublicans.

BREAKING NEWS

Karen Handle radical teapublican out at Komen



Komen for the Cure Vice President for Public Policy Karen Handel is out! As of 10:34 est today she has submitted her resignation.




February 7, 2012

The Honorable Nancy Brinker

CEO, Susan G. Komen for the Cure VIA EMAIL

5005 LBJ Freeway, Suite 250

Dallas, Texas 75244

Dear Ambassador Brinker:

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has been the recognized leader for more 30 years in the fight against breast cancer here in the US – and increasingly around the world.

As you know, I have always kept Komen’s mission and the women we serve as my highest priority – as they have been for the entire organization, the Komen Affiliates, our many supporters and donors, and the entire community of breast cancer survivors. I have carried out my responsibilities faithfully and in line with the Board’s objectives and the direction provided by you and Liz.

We can all agree that this is a challenging and deeply unsettling situation for all involved in the fight against breast cancer. However, Komen’s decision to change its granting strategy and exit the controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood and its grants was fully vetted by every appropriate level within the organization. At the November Board meeting, the Board received a detailed review of the new model and related criteria. As you will recall, the Board specifically discussed various issues, including the need to protect our mission by ensuring we were not distracted or negatively affected by any other organization’s real or perceived challenges. No objections were made to moving forward.

I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale, and my involvement in it. I openly acknowledge my role in the matter and continue to believe our decision was the best one for Komen’s future and the women we serve. However, the decision to update our granting model was made before I joined Komen, and the controversy related to Planned Parenthood has long been a concern to the organization. Neither the decision nor the changes themselves were based on anyone’s political beliefs or ideology. Rather, both were based on Komen’s mission and how to better serve women, as well as a realization of the need to distance Komen from controversy. I believe that Komen, like any other nonprofit organization, has the right and the responsibility to set criteria and highest standards for how and to whom it grants.

What was a thoughtful and thoroughly reviewed decision – one that would have indeed enabled Komen to deliver even greater community impact – has unfortunately been turned into something about politics. This is entirely untrue. This development should sadden us all greatly.

Just as Komen’s best interests and the fight against breast cancer have always been foremost in every aspect of my work, so too are these my priorities in coming to the decision to resign effective immediately. While I appreciate your raising a possible severance package, I respectfully decline. It is my most sincere hope that Komen is allowed to now refocus its attention and energies on its mission.

Sincerely,

Karen Handle

Good riddence teabagger!


Why, it seems like only last week, founder and CEO Karen Brinker was insisting that Handel did not have anything to do with this decision. Oh, right. That's because it was last week:
Someone from Susan G. Komen for the Cure is lying, and her name is Nancy Brinker, and now Handel confirmes it with her resignation letter. Its time for Brinker to exit stage left as well!
