Dana Loesch Can't Believe People Are So Angry About Her NRA Ad That All But Calls for Civil War

[sheshe2]

The NRA is getting a little of the sweet, white-hot outrage they so crave with a new and deranged ad featuring their spokesperson, pundit Dana Loesch. The ad explicitly positions Real Americans against the violent, lying left, and—given that it’s an ad for a gun lobbying organization—it reads a lot like a call to take up arms against those menacing liberals. But who is Dana Loesch, why is she in my face, and where does this fit in with the proud tradition of batshit NRA ads?

--------------------------------

This language, combined with Loesch’s clench-jawed, unblinking, infuriated delivery and the menacing string section underneath, struck many folks as a justification for using violence. It’s incredibly, almost comically divisive (“their awards shows,” “their ex-president”). It certainly appears to endorse police violence to “stop the madness,” as Loesch puts it. It positions public protest—an American right and one of our proudest traditions—as something menacing and treasonous. It also indicates that the “law abiding” citizenry won’t be safe from liberals unless they do .... something. Hmm. What could it be? What could the nation’s largest gun-lobbying organization possibly be advocating?

--------------------------------

The newest Loesch ad, though, comes at a time when we’re about a whisper away from full-scale internecine conflict in this country. It’s not surprising that it’s attracting this level of attention, dissent, and disgust. But Loesch herself is furious that anyone would make the subtext of this thing text. She even ludicrously claimed that it doesn’t have anything to do with firearms:

Dana. Girl. Did no one tell you? You were in an ad for the NRA.



Loesch is also busy pointing out on Twitter that her line “the clenched fist of truth” comes from imagery that’s traditionally associated with the left, the raised, clenched fist. That’s true!

------------------------------------

In other words, Loesch is telling us that she and the NRA appropriated the imagery of a clenched first, even though when it’s associated with the left, it stands, in her mind, for violent protest or being a whiny loser. She also urges her critics to “take a Midol” and “get a grip,” which is wild advice coming from a woman who made an eight-minute video sitting three inches from a camera yelling about leftists lighting garbage can fires.

The videos remind me of the Collapse of Civilization videos that play at the beginning of the Mad Max movies.

NRA'ers longing to have Dana Loesch zip-tie their wrists tightly around their closet rods and equip them with all the standard gagging-and-dangling paraphernalia, close the door, and leave them there in the dark.

"The videos remind me of the Collapse of Civilization videos that play at the beginning of the Mad Max movies."

3. Is she someone I am suppose to know, besides a NRA video? Eom

[sheshe2]

5. Spokesperson for the NRA...

also...

From my link.....

Loesch is one of the raft of conservative pundits who washed ashore on the frothy tides of the Tea Party back in 2010, when she started filling in for right-wing radio host Michael Savage. (Loesch has linked her political awakening to 1. Marrying a Republican, her husband/manager Chris Loesch, and 2. The attacks on September 11, 2001.) By 2011, she had showily left the St. Louis Tea Party to devote her time to appearing on your television, and now she appears bound for a promising new super-career as the rage-filled face of terrified white conservative womanhood.

6. I do not know RW players. Thanks.

I didn't know if she was an actor or something.

7. Sadly she is a RW player...

8. She's not concerned. She's vicious, callous, hypocritical - iow, a typical wingnut.

The snippets of her radio yakking I've heard are just run of the mill wingnuttiness, so self-righteous and overbearing.

The day of her yakking about her NRA commercial, she whined about her finding herself part of the story, claiming that she never wants that, yet she went on and on and played the audio of her NRA thing more than the twice I heard it on the brief errand.

What's irksome, is that she's invited to rational places like Anderson COOPER's panels, where she impersonates being somebody to be taken seriously.

9. "Pundit"?

Where Loesch is concerned, the proper term is "jumped-up cub reporter".
