Fox News: Confederate & rainbow flags 'mean the exact same thing'

Fox News pundit Star Parker is apparently not the brightest bulb in the pack. The Fox News pundit appeared on Fox and Friends this morning and made one whopper of a claim.

Asked about House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi‘s comments about Donald Trump‘s reluctant denunciation of white supremacists after the weekend’s violent neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, Virginia, Parker compared white nationalists to LGBT people.

“It shouldn’t take the president of the United States two days to summon the basic decency to condemn murder and violence by Nazis and white supremacists,” Pelosi said.

“You know what’s really interesting and really incredible irony here is the same people that are demanding that the Confederate flag comes down are the same people that are insisting that the rainbow flag goes up,” Parker replied. “These two flags represent the exact same thing. That certain people groups are not welcome here. So if Nancy Pelosi wants to say that we’re going to start shutting down First Amendment rights of a certain group of people, then what happens the next time that the homosexuals want to walk through an American city and protest and counter protesters come out?”

That’s right. A black pundit is claiming that the rainbow flag – a symbol of inclusion and human rights – is the same as the Confederate flag that symbolized slavery and white supremacy. Apparently she is also unaware that most pride parades draw religious conservatives who stand on the sidelines wishing death upon the community and shouting hate speech.

1. I hope she goes to a Klan rally and tries to sell them on marching under the rainbow

2. Foxbots know they are putting out false information. They'd sell

their souls for an extra buck or tv time.

3. Wow. Evidently this pundit is really stupid.

The Confederate flag represents enslaving human beings and all of the evil that goes with it. The Rainbow flag represents freeing GLBT people to be GLBT in the face of a hateful world.

Fox news is doing a good job of having the dumbest tools in the shed. Watching pundits on CNN, I was worried that Fox would be hurting for "talent." I guess that "Star" Parker is filling the void.

4. Kind of like how "Fox News" and "Sexual Predators" mean exactly the same thing? (n/t)

5. That was a whole lot of ignorance stuffed into one paragraph.

“You know what’s really interesting and really incredible irony here is the same people that are demanding that the Confederate flag comes down are the same people that are insisting that the rainbow flag goes up,” Parker replied. “These two flags represent the exact same thing. That certain people groups are not welcome here. So if Nancy Pelosi wants to say that we’re going to start shutting down First Amendment rights of a certain group of people, then what happens the next time that the homosexuals want to walk through an American city and protest and counter protesters come out?”

6. Did Trump declare this "False Equivalency Week"? (n/t)

8. Every week is False Equivalency week for conservatives.

Their ideology is completely bankrupt so all they have left is fear and lies.

7. Its an act, she's just pretending ignorance for her conservative TV viewers. nt

9. Ah, the old "you're a bigot, too- you're bigoted against bigots!" logic

Sort of like how dumbfuckerry is just another form of genius, right, lady?
