Progressives Attack Dana Loesch For 'Cheering' Marines Pissing On Dead Taliban

I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

It's not so much that the Marines pissed on the corpses of Taliban terrorists, it's that by doing so they've given the hate-America progressives powerful ammunition to attack the deployment and its conservative backers. I know Dana Loesch and she's politically incorrect, and unapologetically so. And if the past is any indication, she's being stalked and tracked by far left-wing demons who'd love to beat her to a bloody pulp if they could. Here's the audio clip from Dana's show yesterday:

And Politico has the reaction, "CNN's Loesch champions Marine video" (via Memeorandum).

The progs want Loesch fired from CNN, obviously. Notice the kind of passive query at Politico on this, and CNN's appropriate response:

 CNN hired Loesch, a co-founder of the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition, to join the "Best Political Team on Television" in February of last year. "I’m excited to be working with CNN and am appreciative of their efforts to showcase diverse political thought on their airwaves," Loesch said at the time. “I look forward to the discussions.”

CNN, which has looked to bring in voices from across the political spectrum, also prides itself on being positioned in the center of the more ideologically driven Fox and MSNBC networks.

I've reached out to CNN to ask for their response to Loesch's comments, and whether or not it will have any impact on her role at CNN. Updates here if and when I hear back.

UPDATE: CNN spokesperson Edie Emery emails:

CNN contributors are commentators who express a wide range of viewpoints—on and off of CNN—that often provoke strong agreement or disagreement. Their viewpoints are their own.

Dana's game for the fight. See her response, at Big Journalism, "Correcting the Progressive Spin on My Defense of the Marines":

My entire point of the past two days was to highlight the absurd reaction from militant troop-bashers to these Marines. In my Twitter timeline yesterday progressives called our military “killers, kids, barbaric trash, murderers …” The only time soldiers are celebrated by the left is when they engage in protests like OWS. The rest of the time they’re demonized....

The disproportionate anger on the part of progressives is fueled by their dislike of our military. That['s] what this proves. The left is attacking me so they can give the Obama administration a pass–unlike what they did with Bush and Abu Ghraib. Like it or not, I’ll stand up for our troops no matter which president is in charge.
