This recent diary is primarily about St. Louis's Queen of Crazy, Dana Loesch (who used to be a Democrat, much like Tammy Bruce, is now a Teabagging Repuke). Not only Loesch will be discussed, the St. Louis Tea Party will be mentioned. Today, the St. Louis Smear Machine is alive.
As everyone knows (at least here in St. Louis), Ms. Crazy-esch is at it with the cheapshot accusations that there's supposed "Liberal Plants" infiltrating the Tea Parties. Jan Simpson was attacked viciously by her, and now she accused the Nazi costume dresser of being a "Democrat Plant."
Loesch has accused me of being a "stalker" for the Twitter Background page. It was mentioned on the 04.12.2010 edition of The Dana Show.
This blog post, via St. Louis Activist Hub, talks about Jamie Allman, who is Dana Loesch's dangerous sidekick.
Via facebook:
Dissent not patriotic is it? Obama likes to close down parks during protests. You want to close down conversation?
My solution is this and I'll present this to Bill and Gina. Let's see ALL the paperwork from the PAC and let's see ALL who contribute and let's see ALL who receive and let's see ALL receipts. Let's see it now and let's see a pledge to make it available to the public from here on out. That way innocent, hard working people will not be harmed by suspicion or innuendo. And that way good people who have the same expectations of the TP leadership as they do of the U.S government won't be smeared and threatened with lawsuits and otherwise trashed in this little game of high school.
Seems reasonable. If they have nothing to hide, then why don't they simply answer his challenge? Also check out Allman's clincher:
Bottom line: Don't Fuck with me. I ate political BSers for breakfast for 14 years and I smell bacon again.
Even Some Conservatives are sick of the St. Louis Tea Party
I'll say more about the reaction from Hennessy and Loesch, but for now let me get into the specifics of the criticisms. Here are some of the complaints of the HillBilly Logic crew;
# The Arnold "Tea Party" was more like a political rally, with most of the time being consumed by political candidates for office.
# LOTS of people were seen leaving the Arnold Tea Party Rally early, presumably turned off by the speaking lineup.
# The St. Louis tea party is not up front about all of the ways in which they are making money
# The leadership structure of the organization is unclear, even after questioning.
# The tea party uses extreme rhetoric that seems more likely to draw donations than to draw new people. Their knee-jerk attacks against all unions and screaming rhetoric about socialists is turning people off.
# Some tea party speakers, like Jay Stewart, do not ask for any money. But others apparently will only speak if they are paid.
# Proposition A was a poorly chosen campaign, and didn't really map well on to the "liberal/conservative" spectrum. But even so, the leaders of the St. Louis Tea Party movement attacked other people in the movement for "not doing enough." (The reality is, IMHO, the small group of Tea Party leaders picked this issue while in Nashville without consulting their membership, and then were surprised to find out that no one else cared about it the way they did -Adam.)
Even some St. Louis Conservatives are sick of the Tea Party
Justin Gibson: Dana Loesch's assclown protege, Jamie Allman, has a radical proposal for the STL Tea Party. This is chilling indeed. If anything bad happens here in the area, you know who to blame: Allman, Loesch, 97.1FM, Ed Martin, Hennessy, Loudon, etc...

The Story Of Dana Loesch: A Whacko In The Making
Here is a pundit, from the same state that Boss Limbaugh is from, no less... who is a well-known psychopathic Nutbag. She also is the Mamalogues founder. I am a proud American who loves our country. This asshole is Dana Loesch. She is a fraudulent con artist, as evidence by this disturbing tweet.
DLoesch: This guy creeps me out: RT @jgibsonatrl: Dana Loesch is a fuckking psycho nutjob. She should burn in hell! http://youtu.be/...
I am a Liberal to the core, and Loesch is one of the most insane Conservative people in our country. I believe Dana Loesch is a mentally ill psycho. This group is the Anti-Dana Loesch Group on Facebook.
Update (04.12.2010): Loesch, as expected, during the Mailbag of Hate segment of The Dana Show, said about my Twitter page (http://twitter.com/JGibsonATRL) had a background that was strongly critical of her.
Also she mentioned my "Burn In Hell" tweet.

You see, that's the thing, it's sad you have people like that, or you have people are online... they make you the background page of their Twitter account (JGibsonATRL's) with a slash through your face and all of this stuff. That doesn't get ever reported, but I would love to show Nancy Pelosi some of the stuff that comes into my inbox. If you think you have threats, check this out: There was one individual who was really kinda creeping me out (Justin Gibson [JGibsonATRL]), and I do take stuff like that very seriously-- I do wanna let everybody know that. If anything goes beyond name-calling and that stuff's fine... but if it gets to where it is kind of violent or really creepy, then it gets forwarded to the authorities, because I don't play games. It's sad that we live in an era where people cannot be civil in political discourse. Because if you don't like my beliefs or polices, that's awesome! Sending me an e-mail that I totally disagree with you on health care, on Cap and Trade, on my stance on Social Security. Don't tell me to "Burn in Hell" or be like "watch your children" or stuff like that-- all of which have been said to me before... one just recently (my "Burn in Hell" tweet). That's the difference and that's the Real Angry Mobs.

My blog on Dana Loesch
Bill O’Reilly Doesn’t Agree with Dana Loesch’s Nasty, Right Wing Invective? Go Figure!
Dana Loesch is a homeschooling mom who recently appeared on the "Factor" to diss public education. She is a cofounder of the St. Louis Tea Party and has a radio show on a Fox affiliated station in St. Louis which is so awesome that Michael Savage asked her to fill in for him recently. But she has a softer side. When she isn’t inspiring revolution, she writes about "mom" stuff on her blog, "Mamalogues." Her written word is so awesome that she now writes material for Andrew Breitbart’s blog. On Monday night (March 22nd) she returned to the "Factor" for a discussion about the unpleasantness that recently emanated from her fellow teabagging travelers during last weekend's Washington DC protest against healh care reform.
Comments: Dana Loesch’s venom is on a par with the patrician Ann Coulter. But her persona is more like the Joe Six Pack Sarah Palin; although she hasn’t quite mastered the trademark wink. A comment on a St. Louis blog described her as a "midwestern Sarah Palin, full of the same vague claims and innuendos, and using the same thought processes." True that. Loesch’s bigoted and partisan rhetoric made Bill O’Reilly look like the model of civil discourse!
Article, via Newshounds [Even Billo The Clown hates Loesch]
As I've said before, even though Dana Loesch is scared to take on the Missouri GOP (most recently, she unironically chastised Robin Carnahan for not debating Roy Blunt despite the fact that D.C. insider Blunt is in a Republican primary and afraid to debate actual conservative Chuck Purgason), she loves to act tough by talking trash to Republicans who live over 500 miles away. She talks some pretty good smack to GOP chairman Michael Steele in this fake interview after Steele stood her up.

If you want anymore how stupid and braindead Dana Loesch is, here are some videos.
