Dana Loesch Calls for an Investigation Into My Nefarious Scheme to Silence Her

Paranoia strikes deep

WingnutsMay 2012 • Views: 33,104

Tonight, Dana Loesch is calling for an investigation into my sinister plot to silence conservatives.

[Insert evil laugh.]

Some should check out Charles Johnson’s blatant violation, abuse of TOS in effort to silence conservatives. He’s trying hard to hide it!

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) May 2, 2012

Followed up, in the usual Loesch fashion, with a puerile “ponytail” insult.

@Jimi971 Ponies unite! #PonytailBrigade

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) May 3, 2012

As for Loesch’s silly conspiracy theories, here’s what I posted yesterday on Twitter (of course, she wouldn’t see it because she has me blocked, even while she continuously posts vicious attacks).

Dear wingnuts: that was a very impressive barrage of hatred, insults, and smears last night! That’s one thing you guys really have down.

— Charles Johnson (@Lizardoid) May 1, 2012

But I must inform you that when stalkers harass people who follow me or communicate with me, I will still advise them to block and report.

— Charles Johnson (@Lizardoid) May 1, 2012

I’m sure a lot of you were hitting that block/report button on me last night, but hey, look! I’m still here. How can that be?

— Charles Johnson (@Lizardoid) May 1, 2012

Note: I absolutely have NOT ‘orchestrated a campaign’ to shut down conservatives. That’s ridiculous, and a lot of you know it.

— Charles Johnson (@Lizardoid) May 1, 2012

Twitter gave users the block/report feature for a reason - to report spammers and serial harassers. I’ll continue to inform people about it.

— Charles Johnson (@Lizardoid) May 1, 2012

UPDATE at 5/2/12 9:20:27 pm

Dana Loesch is still going at me on Twitter:

@giantcu92 True like the widely distributed screenshots of I’m encouraging it? You funny!

— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) May 3, 2012

Apparently @MichaelErnette was targeted for RTing Jazzy’s calls to abuse TOS by spam/blocking conservatives. #freechrisloesch

The problem they are having is because they keep catering to the stalkers and re tweeting their stalker crap, with all the fake usernames they are impersonating. Sending tweets with lots of @fakeusername stalkers included might draw bad attention.

Night Lizards. Do not understand the attraction to Twitter/Face book or any other social networking group. Strange, isn't it. I abhorrer it, but, then again, I also keep posting here.

Crawling back under my rock

fb is cool because I know people all over and I get to keep-up on what is going on in their lives. I used to spend hours on long-distance phone calls, now, I just log-onto fb.

I'll hang out with a million "bronies" before I'll hang out with one so-con republican

if you know anything about the show, you'll know it has in-jokes aimed squarely at adults, it's no different than adults being fans of disney films (my mother was the equivalent of a "brony" before you were born ;-)

Gretchen G.Tiger Wed, May 2, 2012 7:13:00pm

Seriously?

The show has been critically praised for its humor and moral outlook. Despite the target demographic of young girls and their parents, Friendship Is Magic has gained a large following of older viewers, predominately male teenagers and adults, who call themselves "bronies". Reasons for this unintended appreciation include Faust and her team's creative writing and characterization, the expressive Flash-based animation style, themes that older audiences can appreciate, and a reciprocal relationship between Hasbro, the creators, and the fans. Elements of the show have become part of the remix culture and have formed the basis for a variety of Internet memes.

Well, if you're older than Gen-X, (the toy line launched in the mid-80's) then you're not the generation that watched the original show as kids

and basically it's been rebooted by incredibly talented artists and writers

if you haven't heard of Craig McCracken, Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, Adventure Time, Powerpuff Girls, etc, then you are likely outside the demographic that is watching the reboot :)

In my parent's day, it wasn't unusual for adults to get into disney films, certainly Pixar films are legendary and of course cross over with adults the world over

why is My little Pony suddenly a different thing?

Almost Killed by Space Hookers Wed, May 2, 2012 7:24:56pm

hey all!

My only meaningful comment on this nonsense (other than being really sorry that CJ and others have to contend with a sea of moron spew) is:

Did you ever notice how the essence of rightwingerism is fear and insecurity to such an extent that they must lash out at everything not on their approved list and try to bully everyone who doesn't reassure their scared little world views?

Consider: everyone knows that the bully is an insecure, cry baby, coward. The bully loves to dish, but can't take it. He or she suffers from such insecurity that he or she lives in a manufactured persecution complex. Some part of their mind suspects that their bullshit façade will crack under the slightest scrutiny and they can't take it. Some part of their mind knows that they are either cynical, corrupt politicians who would be tarred and feathered if the public really woke up and understood how little they serve the public, or, in the case of the Loeschs or Limbaughs et al... none too bright soulless, con artists with a desperate fear that at some point the jig must become up, or their audience who know deep down that they are actually really f'n dumb, that the world scares them and that they can not feel superior for any particular accomplishment.

Consider how commie regimes and fascist regimes respond to any information that does not fit their meme. The dictator knows that the second the general populace wakes up enough to think "we could do better without that loser" he is on a short trip to the back of a wall or the end of a noose if he can't flee his now enraged former subjects.

Now, no-one is talking about putting anyone wingnut against a wall... but the plutocrat and his pet politician knows that in a just world, prison would be waiting. The wingnut talking heads know that endless ridicule and more importantly the need to find an actual job is waiting. The little wingnut rank and file knows that the real world is waiting, where the truth is, being white doesn't make him special, many women are vastly smarter than him, his lack of education makes him essentially useless and some brown or Asian or non-Christian person who actually did get an education will be his boss.

That is scary stuff... So of course they reflexively attack and attack and attack.
