Is fame giving delusions of grandeur to David Hogg, the Parkland student whos become a media celebrity as an advocate of more gun control?
During a long interview with Joy Reid on her MSNBC show today, Hogg at one point looked directly into the camera and said that in contrast with several other companies that had offered discounts to NRA members:
FedEx still has not dropped their deal with the NRA. The CEO is one of the biggest donors to the NRA. And we have to take care of them. And as a result, if they arent going to, were going to have to take action as the consumers. Because we have the power in a business, just like we have the power in our democracy.
Earlier in the interview, Hogg boasted of how his Twitter following has exploded. We caught him last week saying how little sleep hes been getting due to all media interviews hes been doing. Hogg of course has the right to speak out. And boycotts are a technique used by both the right and left. But Hogg might keep the Chick-fil-A precedent in mind. Students and others tried to organize a boycott against Chick-fil-A because of statements by its COO in opposition to gay marriage.
There was a huge backlash to the boycott, culminating in Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day on August 1, 2012 that resulted in record-breaking sales.
If Hogg and others continue to push their FedEx boycott, the result could absolutely, positively be increased business for the company.
Hasn’t this little punk’s 15 minute of fame run out yet?
It’s also inscribed on a monument found on the opening pages of Huxley’s “Ape and Essence”.
Little boss Hogg maybe trying to shun some of the spotlight before this debate is over! By the way is he gay, he looks gay!
I’ve only read “Brave New World” of his.
Im pretty sure he is gay. He certainly looks the part.

It’s not like FED-X is easy to second source, but heh, to each his own.
This type of corporate pressure started in the Obama administration. Who now keeps pushing it and forcing commercial entities to take sides now?
What a name Hog! Here little piggy!

The scrawny punk Hogg needs a NUCLEAR WEDGIE as soon as possible.
If he were smiling he'd look like a young Joseph Goebbels

Goebbels
indeed!!!
This little boy needs to be knocked down to actual size.
Let him keep talking and representing the left. The more he does, the worse they look.
You are right on!!!
Yes,and reality wont be the thing slapping him in the face.
How long before Hogg demands that N.R.A members, friends and associates wear a star on their sleeve? Yellow has been done, so another color is in order. And why stop with a star on their sleeve? One must be able to identify them readily, everywhere...stars on windows and doors of homes and places of businesses should also be required. Mind-boggling what has become acceptable.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.
