Kudos to Sen. Sherrod Brown for giving CNN contributor/breitbart.com loon Dana Loesch exactly the amount of respect she deserved, when she popped up like a malevolent jack-in-the-box at the Netroots Nation conference.

The wingnut blogosphere won’t take this deadly insult lying down, of course. You can expect the crazies to start cranking out the phony persecution rhetoric any minute now. First out of the gate — Michelle Malkin’s fake news site twitchy.com: An Inconvenient Tweet? Al Gore Quickly Deletes His Retweet of Dana Loesch.

Al Gore may have gotten cold feet (or made a political calculation), but I’m not running for anything … and I’m not deleting my retweet:

Awesome! RT @DLoesch “Sen Brown do you have time for a question?” me “Not from you I don’t.” - Sen. Sherrod Brown #nn12

…or my message of congratulations to Sen. Sherrod.

.@SenSherrodBrown Just wanted to say thank you, for extending to Dana Loesch the amount of respect she deserves.

Dana Loesch isn’t going to be fair in her “reporting” — that’s absolutely proven at this point, many times over. She’s not a journalist, she’s a hyper-partisan hit woman. Her only purpose for being at conferences like Netroots is to find something/anything with which to smear and attack the President, the Democratic Party, and liberals in general, and anyone who doesn’t realize this, and behave accordingly, is being played for a fool.

Sen. Brown said, “I’m not going to be played for a fool.” Way to go, Senator.
