CNN’s Dana Loesch: Twitter Warrior

The Breitbirthers wage war on the intelligence of Twitter users
Wingnuts • Views: 38,703

All day long, breitbart.com editor and CNN contributor Dana Loesch has been spewing insults at me on Twitter; it probably has something to do with our posts on breitbart.com’s Ludicrous ‘Not-Birther’ Article and on Loesch’s claims that Mitt Romney is counting on bloggers like her to attack Obama using Rev. Wright. Clearly, a nerve was struck.

Here’s one example out of more than a dozen:

She’s also now imagining a conspiracy between me and Mediaite writer Tommy Christopher:

Loesch has had me blocked on Twitter for months, but still constantly tweets juvenile insults and paranoid conspiracy theories about me, nearly every day. She and her pals are now totally convinced that I’m the mastermind of an evil plot to ban conservatives from Twitter. Not only do I pull Tommy Christopher’s strings, but I also control Twitter. Moo hahaha.

And today, I’m told that Loesch also spent a good deal of time trashing me on her radio show. Wheee!

Meanwhile, LGF reader SidewaysQuark pointed out something amusing about Loesch’s new “brave right wing Twitter warrior” avatar, which you can see in the tweets above. Here’s a larger version:

And here’s where it comes from:

France has hardline secularism, and also has severe issues with Muslims becoming radicalized, and neo-fascism able to get over 20% of the vote.

White House issues new regulations to combat prison rape & sexual victimization:
[Link: www.cbsnews.com...]

The new regulations are immediately binding on federal prisons. They include screening inmates for the potential of sexual victimization and using that information in housing and work assignments, requiring background checks on employees, keeping juvenile inmates away from adult inmates, and requiring evidence preservation after a reported incident and requiring termination as the presumptive punishment for staff members.

States who don't fall in line face a loss of 5 percent of their Justice Department prison money unless their governor certifies that the same amount of money is being used to be bring the state into compliance. Prison accreditation organizations also will be banned from getting federal grants unless they include similar anti-prison rape standards in their accreditation process.

Obama also announced that the Prison Rape Elimination Act would apply to all federal confinement facilities, and all other agencies with confinement facilities were required to have protocol to fight prison rape within a year.

...

The Obama administration announcement came as the Bureau of Justice Statistics released its first-ever National Former Prisoners Survey, which found that 9.6 percent of former inmates said they were sexually victimized in jails, prisons and halfway houses.

Well, Facebook certainly did set a record today:

FACEBOOK WILL AVOID PAYING $16 BILLION IN TAXES AFTER GOING PUBLIC

ThinkProgress has noted, Facebook’s initial public offering will help both CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the company itself avoid billions of dollars in taxes. With Facebook’s offering now in the books, as Bloomberg’s Paula Dwyer wrote, the company is set to officially save $16 billion in taxes by deducting the cost of stock options granted to owners and employees. “The tax windfall will be the largest ever claimed by a company for stock option awards,” Dwyer wrote. “Facebook is an American success story. Its ability to use a stock option loophole to zero out its U.S. tax bill, despite ample profits, makes no sense. It also isn’t fair to the rest of American taxpayers who will have to pay more because Facebook pays nothing,” said Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI).

They will also get a $500 million refund for taxes already paid in the past two years...

But taxes will be paid by individual recipients when the options are exercised and stock sold. It will be at a tax rate less than the corporate rate, but the capital gain amount will likely be higher. It's possible the govt will get even more money this way than Facebook would have paid. That is, unless these executives keep renouncing their citizenship...

My comment was about the fact that one of the groups they were pissy about (Middle Easterners) are actually counted as Caucasian. So there is that.

I didn't discuss the fact that the definition of "White (or at least the non-discriminated) has changed alot since 1789, with Irish, Germans, and Southern Europeans having their own periods of discrimination before acceptance.

The racist points are so, so, so full of bullshit. Pull one little string of their ideas, and the thing collapses like a house of cards.

I just noticed that GI Jane photoshop comes from a Breitbartian conservative "humor" site -- "The Looking Spoon"

Now I know where all those lame Obama photoshops originate from...

What does 'The Looking Spoon' mean?

Why did ThinkProgress fail to mention that Facebook was obligated by regulation to register with the SEC, which made the IPO almost inevitable? Contrary to the point of the story that's why.

Heh, the next act in the kabuki theater that is the TP-GOP alliance begins, as the TPers decide that they're getting a raw deal while the GOP decide that the TPers have turned them from "the loyal opposition" into stark-raving loons.

You'll want to reload the page again - the Javascript has changed again.

Now when you have the popup comment dialog open, and click a '#xx' link in it, the previous comment loads into the existing popup. It's pretty cool - you can follow a conversation back this way.

It'll be around. It'll be a fee-for-service site, and a good 300,000,000 of the 500,000,000 current members will pay for it...until someone comes out with another facebook type site that's free.

I think microsoft and Apple have always been fundamentally sound companies with at least some sort of potential future. I think facebook will probably end up like Blockbuster or AOL.

Think more like AOL than Blockbuster. The latter's actually having some success reinventing itself as a Netflix challenger, basically abandoning the brick-and-mortar approach.

FB's only really worth it if you've got a lot of friends, a lot of free time, or a lust for "free" browser games.

It gives my family yet another medium in which to ignore me. And vice versa. Which only works if I have an account. Can't have dysfunction if you don't have function!

I don't think most people buying Facebook plan to hold it for 5-10 years. They're looking for it to spike quickly, like Amazon, Yahoo, etc. did in the late 90's. Then they'll unload it, hopefully, for a big gain. Suckers will then buy it at $100+ per share, and then watch it decline and stay flat for years afterward. Only a good investment if you can tolerate a lot of risk and can absorb the potentially large losses.

That's the bullshit part of the Ryan plan. It claims to be an austerity program that we must adopt for our own financial solvency. But, unlike other austerity programs (Europe, eg), it doesn't really cut across the board and there are tax cuts rather than hikes. So (a) it won't work to balance the budget; and (b) it doesn't spread around the notion of shared sacrifice during economic hard times. Since when does fiscal prudence involve tax cuts and military hikes.

More $ on defense + more tax cuts will never = a balanced budget. Unless nearly all other spending is gutted. Is that the America we want, a country that looks increasingly third world.

Section 8 - Powers of Congress

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Education provides for the general welfare, therefore the government does have a role in overseeing education.
