I never heard of this mouth breather before today.
His name is Hasan D Piker and he’s supposedly a hot shot debater that “slays conservatives.”
I saw a video where he fisks a guy who is upset with the new season of NFL kneelers. In it he uses the line “Rosa Parks Was Not Protesting the Bus.”
This is supposed to mean that the NFL is not disrespecting the flag, that they are simply “Rosa Parks-like.”
But a second of examination of this line reveals that it’s classic left-wing idiocy. Rosa Parks WAS protesting the bus. She was expected to sit in the back and drew a line and said, “no more. I will sit where I want.” Good for her.
It was the way the guy used the line that piqued my curiosity. I’ve been fascinated about how the left all seem to have the talking points down pat, overnight. This sounded like one of those instances. A quick internet search gleaned lots of hits.
Here is the idiotic meme, which is much worse in terms of its idiocy than just the Rosa Parks line.
Let’s take this one at a time.
Rosa Parks, unlike the NFL players, was not protesting in an inappropriate venue. Part of the injustice against blacks took place on the bus, exactly where Rosa Parks was protesting. What has football done to blacks?
“Gandhi was not protesting the food.”
No, Gandhi wasn’t. To protest the food as a way to drive British rule out of India would be pretty stupid. That would be like protesting the national anthem at a football game because you think cops are targeting blacks for murder.
“Bostonians were not protesting the tea.”
Well, yes, they were. They were protesting the British tax on tea (among other taxations) without allowing colonists any representation in the government governing them. There was a direct connection between the tea and their revolt.
What is the connection between the anthem at a football game, which honors fallen heroes who have preserved our republic, and disgruntled people who believe the police are assassinating blacks?
“Players are not protesting the anthem.”
They aren’t? They take the knee during the anthem, and only during the anthem. If they took a knee during the announcement that the 2015 Honda Accord with the license plate “BadAzz1” has their lights on, maybe they’d have a credible point.
“Protesting injustice is an American tradition.”
And ridiculing illogical memes is a BFH tradition.
Rosa Parks was a PUPPET of the COMMUNISTS, who set her up to that.
So, is *that* what he’s saying the NFL players are?!
Sounds about right to me….
He could only slay conservatives if in front of an audience from The View. And then only maybe.
This Piker is a nose Piker.
The nfl players have it all wrong. They should protest the coin toss at the beginning of the game. That has chance and equality built into it. My goodness. And the coin also says “In GOD We Trust.” How can they tolerate that?
Instead of a coin toss, they should just go out into the middle of the field and start beating on each other. They can wear masks and just fight for who goes first. I bet their ratings would go up.
This analogy is a stupidly false one. Saying “Rosa Parks wasn’t protesting the bus,” would be the equivalent of saying, “The NFL kneelers aren’t protesting stadiums,” which, interestingly enough, no one ever said they were.
What do the Marines on Iwo Jima have to do with it?
Go ahead and make your silly points, Piker.
I’m still not watching, attending or buying NFL gear.
You can stand on a soapbox and preach in any of a number of shuttered NFL stadiums before long.
Typical liberal ploy, number 22 in the prevaricators play book. When you don’t like history simply rewrite it to fit your personal opinion. Truth doesn’t matter only getting low info people to believe you is what counts.
I don’t know if this puke is sick or sad but I do know he’s dishonest and therefore just another POS with a platform.
Pay no attention to the clown on the stage.
” If they took a knee during the announcement that the 2015 Honda Accord with the license plate “BadAzz1” has their lights on, maybe they’d have a credible point.”
! rotfl !
The Iwo Jima flag raising couldn’t be any more polar opposite than what these lefties think it represents.

While the melee was at its height, two men—Leader and Private First Class Leo J. Rozek—had found a seven-foot length of iron pipe from a rainwater cistern, and they attached the flag to it. No one in the patrol bothered to check the time, but thousands of men below, and aboard the ships of the offshore armada, knew to the minute when it happened.
It was 10:31 a.m., February 23, 1945. An instant in history.
“There goes the flag!” shouted the Marines at the base of Suribachi.
Those on the beaches, who were aware of what was happening and could see it, cheered the sight with their own shouts of jubilation. Ships’ radios crackled with news of the momentous event and flashed it to those in the fleet who couldn’t see it. General [Tadamichi] Kuribayashi, if he saw Marines atop the mountain, must have known the end for Suribachi’s defenders was at hand—something the Japanese on the volcano already knew.

The real men who fight injustice revere the flag
Rosa Parks and MLK — Anti-American, Communist peas in a pod.
Why Suribatchi?
Bottom line, you do your protest on your own time.
Not on the stadiums, the other players, the coaches, or the PAYING attendees time
You want to throw a protest in the parking lot after the game, knock yourself out.
