Raw Story Incites Reader To Give Dana Loesch Suicide Tips

The Raw Story, always the epitome of everything good and decent in the world (and yes, I’m joking), wrote a fictitious story about conservative radio host Dana Loesch wanting to carry a gun to her book signings to shoot people. Her book is Hands Off My Gun: Defeating the Plot to Disarm America. A reader then wrote in with suicide tips.

Congratulations Raw Story — happy? Happy that you preyed on people’s stupid emotions with stupid information that isn’t true?

Raw Story‘s disgusting Associate Editor “TBogg”– his real is Tom Boggioni and his Twitter avatar is a dog because he looks unshowered and like a criminal from MSNBC’s Lockup — gets off on writing exaggerations of actual stories. He’s also quite taken with The Daily Caller because his blog his inundated with stories about the Washington news outlet. And TBogg, dude, your crush on Tucker Carlson is just embarrassing already. Sadly, he’s never heard of you.

Loesch, who gets a steady stream of death threats because  of her gun stance, recently refused to appear at a book signing at Texas Christian University because there was no security. So Boggioni, a liberal blogger in San Diego, took the opportunity to report that “she won’t do book signings unless she can bring a gun to shoot people.”

Loesch, who also works for TheBlazeTV, then received a note from an apparent fan who wants to help her kill herself. The male reader snagged his prose directly from Boggioni’s writeup. And yes, you’re reading this right — the guy wants Loesch to defile herself.

 

Hey Dana!

Really like your stance on guns. If “they” won’t let you carry your gun to a book signing so you can “…shoot people…”, that’s a truly sad state of affairs eh? I have a “tip” for you. If you ever get that depressed about it, and wanted to shoot yourself in the head, you’d have to shove your gun up your ass to do it.

Most Sincerely,

Bill Howell 

The Mirror sought comment from Raw Story‘s Publisher Roxanne Cooper, their Executive Editor Tony Ortega and Managing Editor Eric Dolan for a comment. See the letter I sent them… 

Roxanne,
I’m writing to ask you for a comment about a recent story by Tom Boggioni on your site. He claims that Dana Loesch wanted to bring a gun to her book signing to shoot people. Of course, this isn’t true at all — she wanted to protect herself since she gets regular death threats. As a result, someone wrote in to Loesch with suicide tips, including the idea to shove her gun up her ass. Yes, free speech abounds. Boggioni can shove a gun up his ass all day long for all I care. But how is it remotely responsible for you all to allow Boggioni to write something so blatantly untrue that would obviously incite this sort of reaction against Loesch?
I’d like a comment if you all have one. With the link below you can see what the suicide tipster had to say as well as find your writer’s piece of shit story in case you haven’t seen it.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
