Keith Olberman on Loesch - It is important to remember here that she is not very bright and thus she has to get a little benefit of the doubt.

Id drop trou and do it too, Loesch told listeners during the January 12 broadcast of The Dana Show. I want a million cool points for these guys. Is that harsh to say? she asked.
Loesch, who says she was a liberal until the September 11 terrorist attack, added that she had no problem with the act of desecration. Come on people, this is a war, she said. On the contrary, even those responsible for continuously waging the deadly operation in Afghanistan have condemned the act portrayed in the video and all the men involved.
Loesch, however, seems to be more upset with the nay-sayers than the servicemen who might have just extended Americas war with Afghanistan. Now we have a bunch of progressives that are talking smack about our military, she said. Can someone explain to me if theres suppose to be a scandal if someone pees on the corpse of a Taliban fighter?
CNN has yet to offer a comment on her quip, though should have expected as much from when they hired her. Despite previously calling the network the biggest bunch of idiot blockheads with a blatant disregard for objectivity, CNN welcomed her aboard in February to offer such genius insight as the extension of cool points to American war criminals.

Maybe this latest little oops will get her removed from CNN.

(21,020 posts)that if it were her dad or brother or nephew or son, etc. being urinated on, she would not be so gleeful about the disgusting acts that some people do in the name of War.
I guess I just don't understand the mindset...if someone(s) would do something heinous, it's "civilized" to do something as heinous right back.

Now, imagine you just pissed off a HUGE number of highly religious, highly motivated people ...
Also remember, this is the kind of behavior which is endearing to today's "conservatives" ... just as long as you don't prove it occurs ...

And no one brings up the Taliban had nothing to do with 911. No one ever brings up the Taliban offered to turn over bin Laden, either.

(1,980 posts)How dumb is she? From a purely pragmatic point of view, desecrating a corpse is the sort of thing that makes diplomacy really, really hard and makes your opponents really, really pissed. Hell, desecrating a corpse in civilian life is bad enough, but I somehow suspect this would only be taken much worse. This is exactly like Mogadishu in 1993, when the bodies of Americans were dragged through the streets. We were outraged. How, exactly, is this any different?
