Dana Loesch: I’m A Hate Mongering B**** For Christ!

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on May 18, 2014 · Flag

Fox's Dana Loesch wants you to know that despite her heated support for the homophobic Benham brothers, she has friends and family members who are gay. She also wants you to know that her “biggest daily struggle” is “balancing” her conservative activism with “compassion.” If her appearance on The Kelly File Friday night is any guide, I think it’s clear Loesch needs some more work on that “compassion” thing.

As Loesch tells it in her column about her Kelly File nastiness (which seems more the norm than an aberration), all she wants to do is stand up for “sincere people of faith” like the Benham brothers - the rabidly anti-gay, anti-abortion and anti-Muslim realtors whose HGTV reality show got shelved once their activism was revealed. It’s worth pointing out that the Benhams don’t just have extreme right-wing religious opinion, they are political activists about it. Without the kind of Christian tolerance for diversity of opinion Loesch claims to support.

From Media Matters:

On May 6, Right Wing Watch reported that David Benham, who along with his brother Jason was slated to star in a fixer-upper reality show called Flip It Forward, had an extensive record of anti-choice, anti-gay, and anti-Muslim activism. David Benham explained to far-right radio host Janet Mefferd in 2012 that he and his brother had participated in a protest of the Democratic National Convention to take a stand against “homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation,” abortion, divorce, and “demonic ideologies” circulating in the education system. Benham has also compared the anti-gay marriage fight to the struggle against Nazi Germany and highlighted Leviticus’ prescription of death for gay sex.Benham’s views on Muslims are no kinder; he has declared that “Islam takes life and enslaves it” and protested in front of mosques while shouting “Jesus Hates Muslims.”

Yeah, that sounds compassionate and tolerant, eh? Well, apparently it does to Loesch.

On Friday night, Loesch was paired against Democrat Jessica Ehrlich. At least in this segment, Ehrlich was a refreshing change from the nice, bland, go-along-to-get-along Democrats who come off more as Fox News patsies than the political “strategists” they’re billed as. Ehrlich refused to be called an “anti-Christian bigot.” And obviously, Ms. Compassionate could not deal with even a fraction of what she loves to dish out!

Guest host Martha MacCallum had to interrupt the acrimony and end the segment.

Nicely done, Ms. Ehrlich!

She and her husband, by the way, homeschool their kids. Poor kids!

Can you imagine being one of Loesch’s kids?. What a life that must be.

Rupert Murdoch has such a classy life and he makes sure all the employees/guests match his high-Holy standards of Kkkristian tolerance.

The point with these guys is that they’re trying to cloak their bigotry behind their religion. If every Christian believed what these guys do, then they might have a basis for their actions. But that isn’t the case by a long shot.

I agree with Ehrlich that these guys are really just self-promoters trying to get attention and celebrity, while hiding behind what they say are religious principles. They have espoused hatred toward others, which should go against their Christian learnings, but they’re carefully avoiding having that discussion. And now they have people like Dana Loesch lining up to attack anyone who appropriately criticizes them for their behavior.

So…if the Benham brothers were not religious at all but still supported anti-gay activism they would be bigots. But because they’re Christian they are somehow not bigots and actually the victims of bigotry.

Dana Loesch seems to be a perpetually angry person who finds reasons to say nasty things to people with whom she disagrees. Theoretically, she should be a good fit for Fox News, but they don’t seem to have wanted to have her on staff – which is saying something in itself. Instead, she’s working for Glenn Beck these days.

This is the same Dana Loesch that once argued, while talking about the Sandy Hook murders, that a spoon could be used to stab someone and therefore can be considered an “assault weapon,” just like an AR-15 rifle which killed some 26 people in five minutes.
By the way, I haven’t seen her do an interview where she doesn’t come off as an angry person. So I agree with her self evaluation of “a hate mongering b*tch for Christ.”

When Loesch was a CNN regular, the number of people who wanted her off the air was surpassed only by the number of people who wanted Glenn Beck off the air. It’s kinda funny that, the worse she got, the more she appeared on Fox, and the less she appeared on CNN.

Also, some of the comments on Loesch’s defefensive rant on her site are really scary. Particularly the one telling gay people they should “be in hell”. One wonders if Loesch understands simple Christian principles like tolerance and compassion, given that she regularly demonstrates such anger and contempt for anyone who disagrees with her.

Loesch’s comments on the show started with her usual level of venom, but went downhill quickly when she realized her argument was failing. That’s when she fell back into bullying tactics like telling Ehrlich to shut her mouth and then trying to get in a cheap shot about Ehrlich’s voice “shaking”. This is the sort of thing Bill Cunningham got appropriately criticized for last September. Why does Loesch think she can get away with it now?

Nice smackdowns by Democrat Jessica Ehrlich.
