David Hogg Leads Laura Ingraham Boycott Over A Tweet
dailycaller.com ^ | 3/28/18 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 03/29/2018 1:33:46 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

Parkland shooting survivor and pro-gun control activist David Hogg is now leading a boycott campaign against Fox News host Laura Ingraham after she knocked him for complaining about colleges that rejected his applications.

“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it,” Ingraham wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning, linking a Daily Wire article. Her parenthetical: “Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.”

Ingraham’s tweet sparked a backlash in the media. Hogg responded by targeting Ingraham’s advertisers.

Hogg tweeted out a list of Ingraham’s 12 biggest advertisers and called on his followers to pressure the companies into boycotting Ingraham’s show over her tweet.

This POS is not smart enough to come up with this idea...he was put up to this. His “movement”, with all that implies, is starting to get me aggravated. The more the left becomes unhinged, the more they attack 2A. Of course were I them I would do the same thing if I were them because when the public wakes up and realizes what they are doing it will be too late to stop it.

Someone needs to give him a good working over and when that is over they need to utter some rephrase of the famous Dirty Harry line.

Buying their products is a good idea but tweeting them to show support for Laura is also good.

RedState.com included a portion of that interview in their retraction of their original story: After reviewing all of this, it appears that the problem was that CBS included a very confusing quote without context. Hogg was on campus during the shooting and returned several hours later to interview people across the street. The original story remains below, in strikethrough. I am sorry for the error and have updated the post accordingly.

Just as we have always thought, the MSM creates the news by making sh!t up - in this case "creative editing to confuse". I find it a pity that we have to doubt everything we read. I find myself reading one article then immediately try to find it on other site of the opposite persuasion, just to verify. Total waste of time. I want my news objective and accurate, and without bias (either way). http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/18/uproar-after-new-jersey-high-school-allegedly-suspends-students-over-gun-range-photo.html Fox News used the word Allegedly in their title - do the investigation and tell us what REALLY happended. Reading the article creates more questions and answers none. Students were in In School Suspension (granted, complete BS that a school district should be able to control what you do on your own time) - school district can't say why, parents and said students are silent. No one really knows what is going on. All web searches on subject are right leaning sites. All of that makes one wonder if it is a fabricated story.

That last couple of sentences on reddit From Hogg seem a little hard to believe.

Almost sounds like it could be true. /s

All the little pissant did was further advertise the fact that he got rejected from all the colleges he most wanted to attend!

By the way, is anybody else surprised — I am — that these schools haven't contacted David Hogg and told him he is now accepted? After all, he submitted his applications before the Parkland shooting. I would have thought his new-found celebrity status would have led, say, UCLA to reach out to him. Could it be that even academia can see through this fraud?

He does look like a praying mantis, but I always heard praying mantises were good luck.

Hogg is a child who has let his 15 minutes go to head. he is being coddled by the MSM who revere him as have "courage" to speak out on an issue for which he has passion. Still, he is just a child and a very ill informed one at that. And he acts very childishly judging by the way he speaks and conducts himself.

At the same time Ingraham brought up issues that have no bearing on the argument. That too was childish, snarky and well below the level of a person like Ingraham. She should have known better. He will lose on the issues but the personal stuff stepped over the line.

Will this boycott gather steam? Who knows. While I will not participate, you can never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. Laura- you did a foolish thing. And please, don't ask this ill informed child to be on your program - it will be a lose/lose for everyone involved.

I predict the least competitive of the four schools that rejected him will end up offering his a spot. I further predict he’ll never show up there because he’ll have become so addicted to fame that he’ll spend the next 18 months touring around, grandstanding about gun control.

What do Gov Rick Scott and AG Pam Bondi have to say, about that??

They’ve certainly been pretty quiet on this whole odd thing.

Praying mantises may be good luck, but they don’t actually have it.

I’ve always heard that the female tears the head off the male and eats it after mating. I guess you could say he goes out in glory.

This stupid evil opportunist cashing in on dead classmates is only helping advertise Laura Ingrams shows .
I like her radio show .

Didn't this sicko opportunist call for a boycott of FL Spring break and it was ignored like this one .

Isn't this is the lying fraud that was at home during the shooting and supposed took a bike to the shooting and got in ?

I think his 10 seconds are up .
He is a national joke now after being too dumb to get into college.

Gee, who quickly provided this lil fascist with a list of Laura’s advertisers?

Could it have been one of the many leftist groups funding his act??

Also, if this guy is 19, why is he still in high school and WHY DID HE RIDE A BIKE to school?? Why didn’t he drive?
