As Twitchy reported, the Left really, really liked President Obama’s speech at the vigil for the Newtown, Conn,. shooting victims.
Obama did not use the word “gun” but most observers agree he implied that he will be pushing for new gun control legislation.
Dana Loesch felt that Obama’s thinly-veiled call for gun control legislation amounted to politicization of the prayer service — a vigil that she felt should have been apolitical:
This is really in poor taste. It's a prayer service. In front of the families. They need consolation, not your politics, Mr. President.

The first presser he gave was the right tone. Apparently that speech writer took a break.

Yes, I and many others believe the President dropped politics into this prayer service. If that bothers you, follow someone else.

Reasonable people can disagree about whether Obama politicized the event (and if so whether doing so was in poor taste), but the response to Loesch has been anything but reasonable. Just look:
@DLoesch dumb cunt

Please be quiet @DLoesch. I'm a conservative, and you're making yourself look totally foolish tonight. Your ratings are bad to begin with.

Oh STFU @DLoesch. It's politics that's standing in the way of stopping these massacres. THIS IS POLITICAL. Shove your hate agenda & get real

@dloesch That is a disgusting picture on your twitter wall. And you dare criticize the President. You are a merchant of evil.

You are such a dick.— Deborah Phelps (@deborah_phelps) December 17, 2012
One tweeter even appeared to feel that Loesch is somehow responsible for the Newton, Conn., massacre:
