The Left Really, Really Wants Dana Loesch Kicked Off of CNN

In her radio show, Dana Loesch had the same reaction a lot of us did to the Afghanistan Urine Massacre. She said something like "I would have dropped trou and joined in," or something like that.

Media Matters and the rest of the "Ooh She Said a Dirty Word!" brigade is on a hate-jag on her. This is the most important story in the world for our very, very serious left-wing.

Their real goal here is to raise enough of a stink that CNN fires her or won't renew her contract.

Because, you know, she said she didn't really care if Marines pissed on terrorists' dead bodies.

The same as I don't. Oh, I think it has to be punished, for reasons explained by Dale Franks long ago, regarding a different situation.

But ask me if I care...?

No, I do not care.

My two jokes about this are:

I think it's just a horror that Marines urinated on those terrorists after shooting them to death with high-powered rifles.

And:

"Honey, what a bear of a day I've had! First, a Marine sniper shot me in the head and ejected one third of my brain-matter on to the ground. And then... things took a dark turn."

But let's pretend we all really, really care about Corpse Handling Regulations. Because you know the Hard Left is so all about religious ritual and the soul and stuff.

Dana and Breitbart discuss the left's latest Two Minute Hate on a podcast.

Over at PJ Media, J. Christian Adams writes about the nontroversy.

Never mind the fact that most Americans could hardly care about what the American soldiers did. There is a common sense understanding in our land that war is a rough affair. We share an unspoken recognition that previous American wars saw cruelty far more gruesome than urination unleashed on our living fathers, brothers and sons. More to the point, Americans understand that we face an enemy that tortures and beheads American soldiers. Nobody wants to see American soldiers urinating on these slain monsters, but few really care.

The few who profess outrage at Loesch — particularly those on Soros salaries — exhibit no sense of proportion. Either they have not heard of places like Malmedy or Mukden, and the fate of American heroes like Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Tucker, or their hatred of the American military makes the history irrelevant.

But history isn’t irrelevant to those with a sense of proportion. Compared with the vile brutality American soldiers have endured in the last century, the video that has Loesch the target of organized leftist scorn, is, shall we say, a drop in the bucket.

Well, their target audience is not the public, but the soft-bellied starched-shirts in CNN's bien pensant management.

And their ultimate goal, of course, is to drive every single contrarian voice out of the wildly-inaccurately-named Mainstream Media. One at a time. Gin up the hate for Breitbart and get him kicked out of ABC's coverage. Now take aim at Loesch and get her booted from CNN.

Media Matters

...but does it?

Oh, Right: My other joke was that if your "war crime" can be completely undone and fixed with a ShamWow, it's not a war crime.
