Dinesh D'Souza weighs in on Rosa Parks

Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, who directed the 2016 anti-Hillary Clinton documentary Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, has come under fire on social media following a statement he tweeted Saturday afternoon calling civil rights icon Rosa Parks contributions to the movement "absurdly inflated."

"My point about Rosa Parks is that, as with so many other Democrats, her reputation is absurdly inflated compared to what she actually did," D'Souza tweeted.

My point about Dinesh D'Souza is that, as with so many other felons, his sentence is absurdly deflated compared to what he actually did.

11. From David BROCK's Blinded by the Right: this jerk was one of jerk Laura INGRAHAM's ex-boyfriends

* When they were at Dartmouth, the two of them posted flyers around campus outing Gays.

* INGRAHAM did some crawling across barroom floors on all fours; pointed a gun at a dude who dumped her.

*******LATER history, beyond BROCK:

* D'SOUZA is responsible for Bill MAHER's network show, Politically Incorrect, getting cancelled. The conflation had it thatMAHER said that the 9-11 hijackers showed physical courage. A couple of years ago, MAHER hosted d'SOUZA and incredibly groveled to him, begging him to acknowledge that it was D'SOUZA guesting on Politically Incorrect who said the hijacker/courage thing and MAHER had only echoed the remark. MAHER was groveling, begging for an apology, as I've never seen him do, and d'SOUZA sat there impassively - with the gall of now being a convicted felon and an exposed hypocritic adulterer - and said nothing. I couldn't believe MAHER in front of this dipshit.
