Editorial: Laura Ingraham Boycott out of bounds
The Boston Herald ^ | 03-31-18 | Herald Staff

Posted on 03/31/2018 5:03:24 AM PDT by calvincaspian

The David Hogg experiment would be captivating if we were all just spectators, but the latest twist in the spectacle reveals a destructive element sure to metastasize quickly.

Last Wednesday, Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted, “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA ... totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”

Hogg is a victim of opportunism. Popping up almost simultaneously with a school shooting, the media found a handsome, articulate spokesman for a cause it believes in. Twitter gave him a blue check mark and activists pushed over half a million followers his way. When he acted arrogantly, they cheered him. When he used coarse language in lazy ideological adolescent tirades, they lauded him. Now, as he weaponizes his support to vanquish the speech of others, they celebrate it.

When his behavior is brought up in conversation, they shout, “He watched his friends die,” as if that nukes all rational debate.

In 10 or 20 years, David Hogg the man may have real goals and aspirations. We must hope that today’s David Hogg, the 17-year-old experiment of the left, has not destroyed his potential.

I thought Hogg got rejected because of his sad 1270 out of 2400 SAT score?

He watched his friends die? No he didn’t. He said himself he was out of school that day, which raises red flags to me.

My prediction: He’s going to piss off the wrong person and get a serious beating. He certainly needs it.

Good grief he certainly does. What a naive little puke he is.

With the new SAT it would be 1270 out of 1600. Not great, but not bad.
I looked it up and it is the 80th percentile. For a white male (or an Asian) this would not be enough to get into a top school.

Hogg has posts on Reddit specifically whining about how poor his SAT score is though.

No she’s not - Hogg viciously attacked NRA members and sitting congressman with hate speech and vile rhetoric.

That editorials and talking heads are defending him is crossing the line.

That he’s untouchable from even simple mocking because he feels entitled to college because he tweet good with a B minus average is stupid and an anti-American concept.

But the , such is the stupidity of the newspaper editorial boards these days

“He watched his friends die” gets him a pass for all his inanities.

But Hogg was not at school that fateful day....he was home.

The latest buzz is he’d already graduated H/S the year before.

Oh... I thought the SAT people decided to drop the essay part and were going back to the old two-test 1600 scoring system. But, I checked online, and it appears they are GOING to do that but hadn't.

I thought 1270/1600--decent, not earth shattering. 1270/2400... not good at all. Junior college stuff.

On the contrary, we must hope his actions destroy his
chances of ever attaining power over his fellow citizens.

eventually Hogg will come to the understanding that being a white male in America these days, especially one trying to get into college etc, is an albatross no matter how much of a left winger you are...

Largely enough to be a politician, especially a democrat one : take e.g. Maxine Waters, she must have SAT like -200 out of 1600.

So he wants to be treated like an adult and be respected when he expresses his opinion but then he recedes into the protection of childhood when he is challenged or criticized? Wrong.

I’m trying to figure out how this kid got on campus in the middle of an active shooter event. There had to be some kind of perimeter established.
