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.)”

I think it's been "recentered" a couple of times over the years, too.
If he had self-identified as a blue-eyed trisexual Native American woman, was able to throw a ball accurately through some point in space, or was a legacy, he shouldn't have had too much trouble being admitted to a top school.
I’d equate him to “boss Hogg”, but that’s being mean to “Boss Hogg”.
Another Max Frost (org. played by Christopher Jones). This entire event might have been a screen script. Once again reality mimicking fiction.
Handsome???
We definitely have a different understanding of the meaning of that word.
Just a whining, bully loser. This day and age, they’re found on a street corner in every large city. Usually holding a cup and a tissue. Cane and sunglasses are optional.
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.
That’s exactly what is going on here. And he’s being used as a human shield in the conflict of ideas that is going on here, similar to how Palestinians use women and children as shields in real war. Greenfield, IIRC, did a nice commentary on that.
It might have been out of 2400 when Hogg took it. They only went back to 1600 in 2016 or 2017.
I like David “Camera” Hogg.
That is if the liberal propaganda machine doesn't destroy him first and leave him in the gutter like they always do with the tools of their political agendas.
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.
I was saying to my wife yesterday that he is going to be left alone on the gun issue. The second he steps out of that narrow lane, the media will tear him apart.
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.

The SATs were normalized years ago. A 1978 1150 was better than a 1250 in 2018.
Context is very important.
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.
I have been thinking the same thing. One of my friends mentioned that in a conversation yesterday.
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.
