CNN's Dana Loesch: Too Extreme For Rush Limbaugh

CNN contributor Dana Loesch is under fire for comments she made on her radio show dismissing outrage over video that appears to show members of the United States Marine Corps urinating on dead bodies that early reports have identified as Afghans, saying that she would “drop trou and do it, too.” Loesch's comments are so extreme, they put her out on a fringe where even Rush Limbaugh won't go.

Thursday night, Loesch complained that “we have a bunch of progressives that are talking smack about our military because there were Marines caught urinating on corpses -- Taliban corpses.” She went on to say:

Can someone explain to me if there's supposed to be a scandal that someone pees on the corpse of a Taliban fighter? Someone who was -- as part of an organization murdered over 3,000 Americans? I'd drop trou and do it, too. That's me, though. I want a million cool points for these guys. Is that harsh to say?

Loesch's comments have been widely rejected, leading to her responding that she was “defending” the Marines from “overly-dramatic hysteria.”

Her comments put the talk radio host out on the fringe where even Rush Limbaugh won't go. Dana Loesch - a CNN contributor - responded to the video by saying she would “drop trou and do it, too.” Limbaugh -- RUSH LIMBAUGH -- responded to the video by saying there is “no defense of this”:

Well, there's a video, nobody knows how old it is, of some U.S. Marines urinating on the bodies of Taliban combatants in Afghanistan. Peed on them. And of course it's Marines. It violated the rules. There's no defense of this. The overreaction of this is nuts, but still it happened.

Dana Loesch's comments, too extreme for Rush Limbaugh, put her out on the fringe where CNN should never go.
