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.
He wasn’t there when it happened.

On the contrary, we must hope his actions destroy his
chances of ever attaining power over his fellow citizens.
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’d equate him to “boss Hogg”, but that’s being mean to “Boss Hogg”.
Handsome???
We definitely have a different understanding of the meaning of that word.
I don’t understand this disjointed editorial. Either it was tacky not to forgive and continue his boycotts or it wasn’t. And shouldn’t the advertisers be made to understand that followers of Hogg probably watch FoxNews less than Hogg apparently reads textbooks. If they were indeed real humans and not Twitterbots made to look like thousands, they have almost no bearing on Fox’s ratings or affect their advertisers?
Rush has explained all this in great detail because it’s been done to his advertisers before - more than once - and the way you deal with it is explain to the advertisers what is going on with Twitterbots and if they still want to pull out, Rush simply locates new sponsors who have waited months for the opportunity to advertise on his show.
What this whole episode tells me is that Hogg is little more than another stooge of the DNC Hate America Left and is willing to destroy anything and anyone that stands in their way. I can’t wait for him to find a real job delivering pizzas or waiting tables so he can see how life is like for unskilled kids his age.
If this snot nosed punk were half black,and or transgendered, and 35? he could be the next king of America.
Her so called sponsors are disgusting. She never should have apologized for speaking the truth about this puppet.
Laura Ingraham made the mistake of apologizing to that repulsive hypocritical brat David Hogg, who has of course insulted people far more viciously and dishonestly as well. All it did was embolden him. She should have been familiar with how SJWs operate, and how to resist. NEVER APOLOGIZE, NEVER RESIGN!
The 8 Stages Of An SJW Attack
1. Locate or Create a Violation of the Narrative. Trivial violations are sufficient when a target has some public or organizational influence.
2. Point and Shriek. “The next step is to summon other SJWs by pointing at the target and shrieking about how terrible, outrageous, and completely unacceptable he is.”
3. Isolate and Swarm. The target is isolated from his allies while SJW’s recruit more foot soldiers in the attack.
4. Reject and Transform. An apology is elicited from the target, which only makes matters worse. “[The apology] is promptly rejected because it is not the action, but the actor, that is the real target.”
5. Press for Surrender. They begin going for the kill: getting the person fired from a job or ejection from an organization.
6. Appeal to Amenable Authority. The company or organization is heavily petitioned to punish the target.
7. Show Trial. The target is accused of every wrong imaginable, almost always falsely, and the media becomes an ally in publishing those lies, fed to them directly by the SJWs involved.
8. Victory Parade. “[SJWs] repeatedly display the corpse in a ritual manner, to demoralize anyone else who might otherwise be inclined to challenge their Narrative.” If the target has a Wikipedia page, it will be promptly updated with their latest thoughtcrimes.
The easiest way to stop this attack cycle is to gather support from allies and not apologize. The apology plays into their hands and makes the situation worse, which is why Vox implores his readers to never apologize to SJWs.
Look at everyone in your personal experience who has come under attack by SJWs. Did apologizing do them any good at all? Did apologizing reduce the intensity of the attacks on them, or did the SJWs keep attacking? An apology is not going to relieve the pressure on you, it is only going to increase it.

In claiming none of this is Hogg’s fault in that he is a teenager and knows nothing, I have to wonder why 18 year olds are permitted to vote. Article gives multiple reasons why they lack ability to do so. We need to remember that 18 year olds were given the vote at a time when they were drafted, sent to war, and had their lives at stake. Today’s 18 year olds basically “have no skin in the game” and are easily manipulated and organized by a strongly left leaning social media. The voting age should be raised to 21 again.
That said, I am further saddened by advertisers that will turn tail and run because they might anger some teenagers. In doing so, they anger me and a large number of conservatives. Perhaps it is because conservatives by nature are more quiet and accepting or that we just don’t get press coverage that advertisers can offend us without fear of a boycott. In my case, the opposite is true. Although I had purchased from only 2-3 of the fleeing advertisers, I will no longer. I have checked and found alternate sources for each that will now be my first choice for future purchases.
Handsome? This chinless child looks as nutty as Cruz.
You will note the strong family resemblance as well as the same penchant for twisting things to make himself more important as well as relevant.
You will note also that this future spokesman for classic socialism uses bombastic rhetoric, often placing himself at the scene when he was really miles away.
In 10 to 20 years he may be doing 10-20 for murder inciting violence and other thuggish aspirations, thus fulfilling the great potential this weak-chinned wonder has shown us.
Nah, he’s a jerk and will probably always be a lib jerk. I’m disappointed that Laura apologized to this puke. He is the one who put himself out there and used foul, insulting language against anyone who disagreed with him. So is he some great revolutionary as he claims or some poor, little kid who is in shock after a traumatic experience and is venting his emotional turmoil? Che Guevera or Dennis the Menace?
I’m going to have to learn to stop believing the stuff I read even on occasion.
So she wasn’t ridiculing him for being rejected, but for pointing out he was whining about being rejected as it is just something that happens and not something to whine over.
Nothing to the magnitude that it was portrayed in the media. She should have known better, but this is clearly being lied about and blown out of proportion. The Left knows how to do nothing else.
