Dana Loesch is brain-deficient.
Dana Loesch, who is valiantly trying (and failing) to carry Breitbart’s torch, has done some digging into Sandra Fluke’s personal life because of course she has.
Loesch, after discovering that Fluke’s boyfriend is the son of an “entrenched Democrat,” and that Fluke and her boyfriend are currently on vacation in California, concludes that Fluke’s boyfriend should be paying for Fluke’s contraception. After all, it’s unfathomable that Fluke can’t fund her own sluttiness when she has a “Democrat” boyfriend and enough money to make the harrowing journey from one coast to the other.
Yes, really. Dana Loesch is that stupid.
Why is Dana Loesch on CNN? Her idiocy is much better suited for Fox News. Why doesn’t CNN bid her adieu? For an organization that is supposed to be a news network [insert derisive snort], CNN is not doing itself any favors by continuing to allow such a mental incompetent and pathological liar to further pollute its brand (such as it is.)
From Digby:
Maybe Fluke’s boyfriend, the son of entrenched Democrat William Mutterperl, can pay for her contraception. His father donates heavily to Democrat candidates. The couple is currently enjoying spring break in California, which poses the question of how Fluke can afford a trip across the country when she can’t afford birth control pills.
I assume that CNN knows that Fluke wasn’t testifying about herself and they know that she wasn’t talking about her own sex life, her boyfriend or indeed, anything about her personal life. Rush Limbaugh and his band of misogynist media puppets all pretended like she did and spent days calling her a slut, saying that she had so much sex, “It’s amazing she can even walk” but the fact remains that she never said she could not afford birth control.
[Here is what Sandra Fluke said], in case CNN thinks its lovely “contributor” might have even the slightest bit of journalistic integrity:
On a daily basis, I hear from yet another woman…who has suffered financial, emotional, and medical burdens because of this lack of contraceptive coverage….
Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. Forty percent of female students at Georgetown Law report struggling financially as a result of this policy.One told us of how embarrassed and powerless she felt when she was standing at the pharmacy counter, learning for the first time that contraception wasn’t covered, and had to walk away because she couldn’t afford it. Women like her have no choice but to go without contraception. Just last week, a married female student told me she had to stop using contraception because she couldn’t afford it any longer. Women employed in low wage jobs without contraceptive coverage face the same choice.
As Digby goes on to point out, Loesch, and Limbaugh, and every single idiot at Fox News is lying. They’re lying about Fluke’s testimony, they’re lying about the manner in which birth control will be covered under President Obama’s plan, and they’re lying about the so-called incursion on religious liberties. Nothing these lying freaks have said bears any resemblance to the truth. Indeed, they are lying so hard their noses have shot out from their faces and are currently circling the globe at warp speed:
Not that it matters. Even if Fluke had testified that she personally couldn’t afford birth control, it would still not be Dana Loesch’s business whether her boyfriend’s father has money not is it a license for her to question whether Fluke could afford a trip. (That particular gambit was perfected by another lovely right winger, Michele Malkin who stalked the Frost family and determined that they had no right to health care subsidies for their two sick kids because they had granite countertops in their kitchen.)
Dana, sweetie? Stick to peeing on corpses. That’s really all you’re good for.
And CNN? What the fuck?!
No seriously — what the fuck?!

There’s actually been some even more offensive crap from Loesch about Fluke, in my opinion. She called Fluck a “nympho:” http://mediamatters.org/research/201202290020 . In a post on Big Journalism, she said Fluke “cannot stop getting it on” and has an “inability to control her urges:” http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/03/02/Boehner%20and%20Fiorina%20Fall%20For%20Manufactured%20Story . In that same post, she suggested Fluke was having sex 2.74 times a day (based on idiotic wingnut logic about the cost of condoms), and said that it’s “unlikely to be monogamous.”
Just total b.s. completely disconnected from reality.
Oy. These people are truly desperate. They know they are losing big on this issue, and still, they can’t let go. I’m dumbfounded why these idiots are still paraded on our television screens.
If Fluke decides to file a slander suit she will have no shortage of evidence.
You know what? Whether or not she has sex SO FUCKING WHAT!!! I am sick to death about this bullshit squeamishness about women having sex outside of marriage. It’s her effin’ business, NOT LOESCH, THAT FAT DRUGGIE, OR SOME JACKASS BISHOP! If I as a guy can get Viagra covered, then goddamnit SO SHOULD WOMEN!!!
/rant off
I started to type something extremely snarky, very rude, but thought better of it. I have no wish to cross the line, and these sorry wastes of protoplasm aren’t worth it.
“Don’t get mad, just VOTE!”
Holy crap! You mean an obviously Democrat-leaning woman who testified on a mostly Democrat championed issue knows and engages with Democrats! I’m appalled! Thank you Dana. I don’t know what I’d do without your “analysis.”
You think that’s bad? I have it on good authority that there’s video out there of a Harvard Law student associating with a Harvard Law professor!
This mobbing of Sandra Fluke is one of the ugliest and most unhinged things I’ve seen since the 2008 election campaign. After the house had a panel of six men discuss the issue, the Democrats had to arrange their own hearing and have CSPAN cover it just to be heard. This public character assassination of the one woman speaking on this before four Democratic House members is so over the top it’s stunning.
The more these right wing freaks get called on their ugly bullshit, the more they double down. It’s ugly enough what the men have been saying, but when I hear this crap from a woman, my head blow a gasket!
They are beyond despicable.
When I say Hoo, you say hah!
Hoo hah!
Hoo hah!
/freak out.
Sandra F, a political whore on display for all to see. Driving Obama’s poll numbers down.–Oh What a relief–to see the truth
Uh huh. Keep on jerkin’ it, child.
They give out free birth control at Planned Parenthood. Anyone who “cant afford” it isnt looking hard enough.
S elling herself to
L ie for government taxpayer funded contraceptives, abortions even though
U gly as sin in what she says and does, all Fluke wants to do is
T ake our money so she can have sex like a freeloading bum at 30 years of age.
You and this author …. should have your own picture saying the exact things that are unjustly and falsely ascribed to Dana … What a bunch of losers!
This blog post has a number of its own distortions.
Ms. Fluke was not merely testifying about other students. Her personal situation was the subject. Her acquaintances with similar or worse problems were icing the cake.
Rush was an ass, and crossed several lines with his remarks. However, he did illuminate the conservative perspective on Ms. Fluke. She attends an expensive school. She buys expensive health care insurance. She can apparently afford all that. What she feels she can’t afford, is birth control, which her Catholic affiliated school does not want to subsidize and therefore endorse. As a matter of religious principle. In a country where religious freedom is sacrosanct.
Liberals want to compel all institutions / individuals to buy or pay for things they don’t want or need, to support a minority of individuals who could pay for their own wants and needs if they weren’t mired in a subservient, dependent position by the overbearing, overarching nanny state that Liberals created.
ah yes. icing on the ovarian cyst cake.
you’re woefully informed, and that’s putting it kindly.
