Why does the left give Hassan Piker a pass?

Monday, May 04, 2026

For all the legacy media's obsessive warnings about far-right extremist Nick Fuentes, it has shown far less interest in confronting a dangerous left-wing counterpart: Hasan Piker.

Couldn't open the article. Had no idea who Hassan Piker is so I did a quick google search.
Do you consider Politico as legacy? They call him out. www.politico.com

Get some morals, get some standards, get some ethics.

That's required if you want to lecture others on morals, standards, and ethics.

Jeff has no idea who Hasan Piker is, what he says, or what he stands for.

Author of Jeffy's contribution is, predictably, a rwing stooge.

Like Jeffy.

Go ahead and defend Piker, Sycophant. I know his messaging because he's been mainstreamed on the left. No mainstream conservative outlet would ever give Fuentes the time of day like NYT has done for Piker.

Her article should have been titled, "Whataboutism 101, Lessons in Logical Fallacies".

It's just another Rwing Whine; "But, Mommy, Little Hasan does it, too!".

Is that supposed to make it acceptable behavior?

Claiming hypocrisy is NOT an argument, much less a news article.

I saw this guy's name mentioned here a few times last week.

Looked him up and learned he's a podcaster who apparently was meh about a few stolen lemons.

And for some reason pedoringer has his panties all wadded over him.

I mean, I'm not surprised he's full of fauxrage over something he's been told to be fauxraged over, that's his MO.

'Hey guys, how come you're not paying super close attention to this guy I just learned about through spoon fed chain email talking points like you are to the guy who is a neo-Nazi white nationalist who was a significant player in the 2020 election denial and January 6 insurrection?!?! Stupid libruls!'

Who is in charge of "passes" around here?

All I know is I am not in charge of Passes around here.

I think Corky is in charge of passes.

Personally I don't need no stinking pass.

Just a login. And that's still annoying to me.

Do you still need passes when Gracie is no longer patrolling the halls?

I can't even log in on another device at the moment because I forgot my password, lol.

I have about as much pull around here as Matt Drudge.

"You need to be shanking these motherf*ckers"
"I'm going to kill you with my AR-15"
"Let the streets soak in their f*cking red capitalist blood"
"Yeah kill them, kill those motherf****rs, murder those motherf****rs in the street, let the streets soak in their f***ing red capitalist blood."

idk seems kind a graphic, seems like he stands for KILLIN capitalist.

Did you see his speech this last week at the DSA? No? Basically, he's said the DSA is using the Democratic Party as a vehicle to implement his "killing".

He is more extreme than the extremist the Democrat Elite (SPLC) say they are against.

idk I haven't seen Nick's statements as crazy as Hasan.

But I will say you Lumpers run around claiming everyone is a NaAZI, yet you support a literal NAZI, and Hasan.

Did you know the extremist Palestinian movement was fostered by Nazi Germany?
Seems like the Democrat party is going down the same path, and no one but me is worried about it.
