It's the kind of propaganda that would have made Joseph Goebbels proud.

Loesch before CNN's Town Hall on the Parkland, Fla. School shooting last night, or one of her NRA ads until this one aired on Democracy Now! News today. There are quite a few ads with her posted on YouTube.

The Guardian article notes that she was a prominent gun rights advocate and longtime conservative radio host before joining the NRA in 2017 as a personal assistant to executive Wayne LaPierre.

Since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, more women have been featured to lessen perceptions of mostly older, white men as gun rights supporters and to portray motherhood and family.

since the Parkland FL shooting. If you want to see more, go to the NRA website. They are equally despicable.

A "stroll" through the website will ruin your day, and Dana Loesch is an unspeakable shill. Her performance at the CNN town meeting spoke loudly of who and what she is!

a personal assistant for Wayne LaPierre at the NRA since 2017. As the Guardian article I posted here notes, since the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre more women have been utilized to emphasize 'moms and family' in gun advocacy to lessen the perception of mostly older, white men. Seems like she would be useful on home shopping TV or something equal, but the NRA pay must be much higher.

9. Edited Speeches by Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Reich Minister of Propaganda (1933-1945)

*NAZI PROPAGANDA AND CENSORSHIP*

Once they succeeded in ending democracy and turning Germany into a one-party dictatorship, the Nazis orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to win the loyalty and cooperation of Germans. The Nazi Propaganda Ministry, directed by DR. JOSEPH GOEBBELS, took control of all forms of communication in Germany: newspapers, magazines, books, public meetings, and rallies, art, music, movies, and radio. Viewpoints in any way threatening to Nazi beliefs or to the regime were censored or eliminated from all media.

During the spring of 1933, Nazi student organizations, professors, and librarians made up long lists of books they thought should not be read by Germans. Then, on the night of May 10, 1933, Nazis raided libraries and bookstores across Germany. They marched by torchlight in nighttime parades, sang chants, and threw books into huge bonfires. On that night more than 25,000 books were burned. Some were works of Jewish writers, including Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. Most of the books were by non-Jewish writers, including such famous Americans as Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, and Sinclair Lewis, whose ideas the Nazis viewed as different from their own and therefore not to be read.
