GOP establishment flack calls conservatives 'mentally ill,' gets schooled by Dana Loesch

It’s always fun when GOP establishment types complain about conservatives attacking Republicans … by attacking conservatives. It shows an almost Democrat-like capability to ignore cognitive dissonance.

Walsh’s Twitter bio says that he is a partner at Singer Bonjean Strategies whose website boasts “Effective Bipartisan Public Affairs Solutions.” With a vanilla slogan like that you wouldn’t expect a lot of ideas that involve comparing people to mentally ill, retarded, potentially violent criminals. Though the bio does have the obligatory “opinions are my own” caveat.

@DLoesch Thanks Dana. Worked at Heritage, spokesman for Bob Barr etc. Fan of yours. I just don't like DC groups attacking Rs and not Ds.

Didn’t you just do that?

@brianjameswalsh No reason to make such a comparison though man.

@brianjameswalsh Book is out Oct21. Still no reason to make such a comparison. In the end, we have the same end. Let's remember that.

Whoa. Did he just lie about reading her book?

@DLoesch So my question is – is that advancing conservatism by attacking Republicans and giving Democrats a free pass?
— Brian Walsh (@brianjameswalsh) August 6, 2014

@brianjameswalsh You're presupposing that every Republican advances conservatism. Sometimes there are better primary options.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 6, 2014

Precisely. “Republican” does not equal “conservative.”

@brianjameswalsh When compared to established party members, no one has given more heat to Dems than grassroots conservatives in recent yrs.

Amen.
