What Conservative Women Can Learn About Liberals From the Way They Treat Dana Loesch

I have known Dana Loesch for a long time and I’ve been pleased to see her work her way up the food chain on the Right. She didn’t get to where she is because of a publicity stunt, because her whole gig is to offend people or because she mindlessly shills for the Republican Party. Instead, she’s someone with talent who was out there working her butt off for years.

Is Dana Loesch a mainstream grassroots conservative? Absolutely. Is she someone who should be considered a feminist role model? You bet. Having met her and her husband on numerous occasions, I can tell you that they seem to be a great couple with a great marriage; they’ve got kids; she’s topped the 20 hottest conservative women in the new media AND she’s respected for her mind. On top of that, Dana has had a successful career. That’s probably as close to the “You can have it all” feminist ideal as you can get.

That is why the liberal reaction to Dana Loesch since she became one of the most prominent women on the Right by becoming an NRA spokeswoman has been so fascinating. Granted, Dana does occasionally say something controversial, but that’s not a regular thing for her. She’s not a fascist, a white supremacist or even mean-spirited. She doesn’t advocate gun violence or school shootings. In fact, as a general rule, Dana spends the vast majority of her time expressing mainstream conservative beliefs.


That’s what makes the insane level of abuse she receives from the Left stand out so much. Just to give you an example of what I mean, these are just some of the comments she shared on her Twitter timeline in the last 24 hours and they are very typical:

Islandtime: @POTUSbonespur “Wouldn’t it be sad is @DLoesch’s children were the victims of gun violence. Thoughts and prayers…”

Larry: @seffrtnow “Not only are you a terrorist you are a Despicable loathsome vial scumbag who advocates for Mass school shootings for money shame on you you piece of crap @DLoesch”

I didn't waste time reading the article due to the headline. If conservative women or anyone haven't already figured out liberals way before the Dana Loesch incident, they might as well team up with the left.

8:11 - Spot on, but we need to show this to liberal women we know who really do not think this crap is going on because they do not pay enough attention.

This is straight out of Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals".

When she makes a comment that the media enjoys gun slayings what reaction would you expect
