"It was NOT an edited tape!" - Dana the tea bagger from St Louis just said this on Larry King
OMG she is such a tool. She is debating Al Sharpton (she called him Robert Sharpton), Penn Jillette and Petet Beinart ( a Dem). All three of them are literally cleaning her clock.

Among the pearls of wisdom coming from Dana's lips:

The tape of Shirley Sherrod was not edited.

Peter Beinert does not understand economics.

Breitbart didn't include the worst things Sherrod said in her speech in his edited version.

Sherrod was speaking in the past tense so it should have been obvious she was talking about an event from 24 years ago.

The biggest lie promoted to blacks is that socialism promotes equality.

Sherrod is using race to promote class welfare.

Social justice has eliminated true opportunity.


After watching the entire 43 minute tape, Dana is stunned that no one else sees the racism in Sherrod's remarks. (She asked about 6 times if they had bothered to watch the entire tape. Sharpton said yes.)

I was going to post this blog piece I just read. My heart goes out to my friends in St Louis who have to share oxygen with Dana and her group. They are disgusting.

3. I noticed they shut off her mike toward the end.
This woman would make a terrific co-host for Beck.

4. This whole thing is just sickening
Here's a real intelligent conversation I pulled from a Facebook post....

Person 1: I am getting so confused as to what to believe in the media any more. This new firing and rehiring thing almost seems to be a setup. Confusion is part of the plan, I'm thinking.
21 hours ago ·

Person 2: OKAY! The firing and hiring.. Here is the deal on it. GOV fired her because of her comments.BECAUSE they was afraid Glen Beck was gonna jump all over it. BUT, her comments was in context of the subject she was lecturing on. Which even GLEN BECK DID defend her. She was telling a story of how she was wrong about being racist. And how ... See Moreshe changed her opinion this was a story about her racist mind set 23 yrs ago.. NOT TODAY.. And she was trying to relay that message. When someone made a video clip and took out the whole story. And made it appears worse than it was.. and posted it.
The white house freaked and fired her. When the white house realized they were jack ass's they offered her a new job.

Yet they smeared Glen Beck in the process.

The liberal media was the ones accusing her and others such as Glen beck... of ill will before the GOVERNMENT(white house ) had all of their facts. That is it in a nutshell. NOW, i do know that she did sue the government awhile back for the unfair treatment of agricultural bias, o i believe the black farmers and won that suit she also personally received 150.000 for it. But, that is all i know about that part of it. I know nothing more of that particular issue.

20. From what I'm hearing thew white house were not the ones who fired Sherrod
but the head of USDA that did the requesting for Sherrod to resign her position. He then sent off a note to the white house telling the president of his actions, meaning until it hit the news the president was not involved with what the USDA did. leave it to the nit wits to blame Obama for the actions of staff yet these same nit wits never linked Reagan to North during the Iran/Contra scandal. Unbelievable how they can justify their beliefs.

who is this Dana? I missed the show?
Edited on Fri Jul-23-10 12:27 AM by Whisp
I have a picture in mind, I think I've seen her last week when Stephanie Miller was on as well, with the woman comedian who told (Dana?) right out, to Shut Up! was a blessed moment.

If it is the same woman, what a total pathetic dipshit.
but there are so many of them.

on edit:
Dana Loesch

thats her. the dipshit I mean.

24. Yes that's her
Every time she's on she comes across as an angry nitwit who just likes to hear herself talk. And she loses every debate. Even Larry King was schooling her tonight. LOL

Seems like he could have made her disappear, or turned her into a marmot or something... :)

31. Journolist was a Google Group of liberal journalists that Ezra Klien had.
In February 2007 Klein created a Google Groups forum called "JournoList" for discussing politics and the news media. The forum's membership was controlled by Klein and limited to "several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics." Posts within JournoList were intended only be made and read by its members. Klein defended the forum saying that it " that folks feel safe giving off-the-cuff analysis and instant reactions". JournoList member, and Time magazine columnist, Joe Klein added that the off-the-record nature of the forum was necessary because “candor is essential and can only be guaranteed by keeping these conversations private”.

The existence of JournoList was first publicly revealed in a July 27, 2007 blog post by blogger Mickey Kaus. However, the forum did not attract serious attention until March 17, 2009 when an article was published on Politico that detailed the nature of the forum and the extent of its membership. The Politico article set off debate within the Blogosphere over the ethics of participating in JournoList and raised questions about its overall purpose. The first public excerpt of a discussion within JournoList was posted by Mickey Kaus on his blog on March 26, 2009.<19>

Members of JournoList included, among others: Ezra Klein, Jeffrey Toobin, Eric Alterman, Paul Krugman, Joe Klein (no relation to Ezra Klein), Matthew Yglesias, and Jonathan Chait.

On June 25, 2010, Ezra Klein announced in his Washington Post blog that he would be terminating the Journolist group. This decision was instigated by fellow blogger Dave Weigel's resignation from the Post following the public exposure of several of his Journolist emails about conservative media figures.

Klein had justified excluding conservative Republicans from participation as "not about fostering ideology but preventing a collapse into flame war. The emphasis is on empiricism, not ideology".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Klein

15. I was emailing a group a few days ago.........
..it's kind of a long story but basically someone said that he had heard that, somehow, Michelle Obama would force people to go on a diet as part of the health care bill. I wrote back and said no one would force him to do anything....including a diet.

A few days later, someone wrote me back and said she believed in the tea baggers. I wrote her back and said she is an idiot and listed a few inconsistencies promoted by the tea baggers. As you might imagine, she objected to the idiot label but didn't mention anything else. Which leads me to the belief that either she agrees with what I said or if she doesn't agree, she didn't know how to defend her positon. Which means she's still an idiot for having blind faith in the tea baggers!!!

Yeah, Michelle Obama is going to have a food police force all over the nation. Kind of like pulling the plug on Grandma in reverse. "Now Michelle, you get away from me with that broccoli! And give me back my hot dog!"

She must think that makes her look intelligent.

She spews hate and ignorance and then complains she's being persecuted when anyone disagrees with her.

21. Social justice has eliminated true opportunity?
I'm wondering if she understands what social justice is all about?

I may be wrong but wouldn't the lack of social justice be a time and place where laws would not protect workers and consumers from the barons that controlled everything? When companies paid in script and forced to rent the shacks and buy clothing and groceries from the company?

A great environment for opportunity.

33. It's code for white privilege
Social justice doesn't provide opportunities for white middle class housewives like Dana. At least, that's where she's coming from. In teabagger world, it always gets back to how they've been screwed.

38. Following the example of Glenn Beck
they seem to have usurped the term social justice. They want to do to 'social justice' what they did to "liberal". It ain't gonna work.

22. OMG...I was watching.
I have never wanted to reach into the set and strangle someone like I just did.
Thankfully Larry King did set her straight. What an audacious liar! Just boldly
sat there and lied knowing everyone including the viewing public knows the truth.

What a repulsive woman.

36. Somewhat OT -- I know they are trying to demonize the phrase Social Justice.
It's a difficult task they've set for themselves.
Someone should tell them that Jesus preached ... brace yourselves ... social justice<!>
