NPR Lets David Hogg Slam Opponents as Old People Dying Off on the 'Wrong Side' of History
newsbusters.org ^ | 3/24/2018 | Tim Graham

NPR Weekend Edition Saturday welcomed Parkland student leftist David Hogg for an interview, and host Scott Simon offered the typical "how are you coping" and "do you have time to be a teenager" softballs. But when he teed up Hogg to say something political, Hogg was obnoxious. First, he insisted "oftentimes" cops discriminate against people of color:

SCOTT SIMON: There were people who said this week when there was an incident at a school in southern Maryland. And the assailant was apparently put down by a guard at the school. There were people who said, that shows. You have armed guards in schools - people who know what they're doing. We can cut down on school shootings. How do you feel about that?

DAVID HOGG: I think it's important to realize that law enforcement does do a very good job oftentimes of trying to ensure the safety and security of their people. But oftentimes, where they fail in communities of color and in lower socioeconomic status communities where they discriminate against these people. For instance, even in our schools. When we have more of these law enforcement officers come in, yes, they're going to help secure more students. But do we really want to turn our schools into a place where we have to have police officers and basically create a war zone?

But Hogg really devolved into his usual mudslinging when asked if he was too young to speak out. The arrogant "we are the future and we will write the history" answer came out, complete with the "our old opponents will die off and then we win."

Excellent, he needs to do more of this.

Alienate as many people as he can. He’ll get more and more full of himself and lacks the maturity to tone it down.

I’m sure the commie piggies down at the taxpayer subsidized NPR provided him with a script. NPR, using the taxpayers’ dollars to stick it to them. Isn’t communism great?

He’s a punk leftist, you can tell by his irresponsible style he’s going to get in trouble. Probably by assaulting someone.

I loved his Saturday Night Fever pose during his big speech. Big brother John Travolta would be so proud! And he even wore a disco-ready jacket!

Naw, let him go. In fact encourage him to drop more F bombs and profanity, that always impresses people you’re trying to persuade. This kid is like a million dollars a day in free PR for the NRA.

And not a one of them cares that Obama-Holder ran guns illegally to narcoterrorists in Mexico resulting in the deaths of thousands including some Americans.

Gun laws?
Safety?

None of the protests are actually about that.

Yep. The people MUST at all times have at least an equal or superior fire power to the military or we face living under tyranny which is always one election away. This kind of stuff happens which the left chooses to ignore......

We can and we will outlive our opponents because they're old, and they are stuck in their old ways.

Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the way if you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

I’m surprised no one has yet put his face side by side with the Austin Bomber. Both of them have the same, slick “I’m so much smarter than any of YOU” look going on.

Martin “Pharma Bro” Shkreli has it too.

For the likes of him, many of us aren’t going to march willingly to our demise as his progenitors in Nazi Germany convinced many people to do.

David Hogg doesn’t know history. He’s truant from that High School class.

...” “our old opponents will die off and then we win.”

Yeah, you keep thinking that, camera Hogg...if your generation takes America to Socialism/Communism...you ain’t seen misery yet.

Without your “old opponents”, you would be lost...you’d have to work for a living, (gasp). There would be no one around intelligent enough to invent the next iteration of Iphones, or industrious enough to grow and prepare food, build cars, or keep your MSM transmitters functioning.

Hogg is the perfect example of young people not having foresight. He apes what he sees on TV and has been bit in the ego by the publicity bug...probably the first time he’s had any attention in his life.

Gotta say it would be might ironic were this “kid” to be killed in a non-gun related event, like getting hit by a car or choking on a sunflower seed.

So they’ve got to get rid of the guns first.
