CNN Contributor Applauds Soldiers For Urinating On Corpses

Friend -- "It's hideous. It turned my stomach." That's what Defense Department spokesman Capt. John Kirby said about the video that recently surfaced on the internet showing U.S. Marines urinating on dead bodies in Afghanistan. The video has already been strongly condemned by the Secretary of State, U.S. military commanders and foreign policy experts. They have stated that the Marines' conduct is "inconsistent with our values," and that it places the men and women of our military in greater danger by inciting needless outrage from local residents. The video has been condemned even by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump. Yet, on her daily radio show, paid CNN Contributor Dana Loesch cheered the soldiers' actions, saying "I want a million cool points for these guys." She added: "I'd drop trou and do it too." Click here to listen to audio or read the transcript of this CNN Contributor's irresponsible tirade. Loesch, who is also editor in chief for one of Andrew Breitbart's discredited websites, already has a long record of vitriol and deceit. So, CNN knew what it was getting when it hired Loesch in 2011. Nevertheless, we hope CNN will take this matter seriously and consider its reputation – both as a national and international source of news. We'll be sure to follow up with you. In the meantime, you can listen to the audio and get all the details on Loesch's remark here: http://mediamatters.org/research/201201130007 Thanks, Matt Butler President and CEO Media Matters for America Connect with Media Matters This email was sent to news.opinions.opine@gmail.com ››› Click here to unsubscribe © 2011 Media Matters for America.
