But Rosa did not travel a thousand miles to make a stand, she did not pre-plan her media strategy, and (most important) she was not armed.

@Ammon_Bundy tweeted Tuesday night: “We are doing the same thing as Rosa Parks did. We are standing up against bad laws which dehumanize us and destroy our freedom.”

Hey! See that big grey thing passing below you there? The thing with the fin?

Rosa Parks was an intelligent and brave woman… she knew what she was doing and the significance of her actions.
This “shit for brains” is a coward, has demonstrated his lack of intelligent and cohesive thought, and has no clue or plan regarding his disjointed actions…
Dad must be proud

It’s not a race thing…Ammon, deep down, just wants to wear a kicky skirt with a cute sweater and ride a bus.

And glasses! Don’t forget the glasses. You know what they say about girls who wear glasses.

That is why the term “sin verguenza” is used for certain types of people.

Once one crosses that line and sees that there is little or no repercussion, the Bottom is very easy to find.

Can we expect to hear him describe himself as Mahatma Gandhi or as MLK or Che or Indira, all brave leaders, but you know how their stories ended, and he wouldn’t want to go so far.

It doesn’t MATTER who is ‘running the account’. Rosa Parks sat on a bus. She didn’t commandeer the bus while armed and announce she was on there for the long haul. She simply sat there and waited until she could take the bus home.

Yeah but, uh, besides that! Freedom! And stuff.

A great point was made in the comments the other day about how every media appearance by these idiots digs the hole deeper – the FBI are showing a sort of genius, intentional or not, by letting Yokel Haram rant on TV. They seem to have virtually no support as a result.

Edit: well turns out it’s a hoax account by some racist sympathiser, though in fairness Bundy the Younger has said equally goofy things for multiple media outlets :open_mouth:

This guy needs to get himself a better edjumacation. Can’t wait to see what he’ll be saying come the MLK holiday…if he lasts that long out there.
Its true…You can’t fix stupid.

The GOP analogy bench is pretty thin. Rosa Parks and Hitler. That’s pretty much about it. Anything else requires some understanding of history, and that is for pointy haired liberals.

And it’s not like they understand the meaning of their analogies; they simply know those two names and that you call other people Hitler when you disagree with them and compare yourself to Rosa Parks when you feel you are the victim.

Mrs. Von Holst has worn glasses all her life and she kicks conservatives’ asses using her super ineluctable logic.

I was amazed how far Rachel took the Wallace/Trump thing last night though I didn’t see her interview on the topic…

Right…because everyone knows that Rosa Parks told the bus driver to go fuck himself and barricaded herself in the front seat of the bus while armed with a high-powered hunting rifle, telling everyone that “someone’s gonna get a hurtin’ if they try to remove me”…she then proceeded to give press conferences through the window and, when they came to get her, shot three police officers, dying a martyred hero for freedumb in the ensuing shootout.

What fucking planet are these idiots from anyway?

…
One thing is for sure. Rosa Parks was a bunch more intelligent than this guy. He hasn’t the 1st clue why he’s doing what he’s doing. Rosa, on the other hand, just wanted to sit down on that bus and be treated like a normal person. Ammon isn’t crusading for civil rights. He’s wanting the be a gun humping land grabber ready to graze cattle on Federal land w/o a lease or fee. He wants to IGNORE the law.

When you cannot even enlist the support of the Oaf Keepers™ you should be able to get an inkling you may be “off the reservation”.

Kolob, mostly. I’d guess that some of them are from Planet LooneyToons, but it’s tough to tell the difference.

Well, they both wore hats.
