Why is everyone so afraid of this little moron with a big mouth?

He holds three major 'untouchable' cards: He's a high school student, 17 of his classmates were killed in the shooting, and he's voicing liberal positions.

In my opinion it would be best to ignore him, and just deal with the issues and logic. It seems that bullying, outcast kids, mental health issues, the lack of vigilance by authorities and parents, and a generalized and growing lack of embracing the sanctity of life are the biggest issues, and I think the left needs to be forced to discuss them.

His 4.2 doesn’t match up with his 1270 SAT. All my children got in the 1400’s.

This is what an apology gets you. Will we never learn?

Seriously. Have these people learned nothing? Never apologize. Always double down. If you're going to lose advertisers and your show anyway, better to go out swinging.

Fox News has issues with women in general.

Not if they have big breasts and wear short skirts.

I wonder why she even thought it important to mention him in the first place about college rejections. What is the value in that?

He gets too much mention already, JMHO.

Just an excuse to get rid of her.

FWIW, I’m betting the suits told her to apologize and, rather than quit, she did.

She’d’ve been better off quitting.

Should’ve done like Mark Levin and not bash the kids who are not informed. Blame the parents and their parents who are destroying this country.

O’Reilly never returned from his vacation.

And I doubt Laura will either. O'Reilly warned her when she started the show that the opposition would bring out the Big Guns in ways that she couldn't begin to imagine. And she didn't have the number of supporters that Rush or Hannity have had to be able to survive. A pretty innocuous comment - by a commentator - and the vultures swept in for the kill. Sick all the way around.

Hogg’s behavior is downright scary when he raises his fist and yells. This, of course, is what today’s Dems/Left have become. Hogg is just more up-front about his motives when he makes threats and becomes irate. He’s like that kid on South Park yelling “Respect my authoritay!” Imagine launching a boycott of someone just because she said you were “whining” when you were. He’s the victim? He’s the one victimizing and abusing others with his vicious attacks.

Who would want to hire someone who acts like this whenever someone makes the tiniest comment that he doesn’t like? Are there no adults who can advise him? His reputation will be in tatters by the time his 15 minutes of fame are up.

I won’t be buying Rachael (sp?) Ray’s cat food anymore. She’s a big lib. I figured that out when I saw her interviewed on TV during the Tea Party days. She was trying to be subtle about it, but it was clear she thought Tea Party folks were idiots who should be laughed at.

Well I think it illustrates the obvious and that is adults should not try to debate children. This Hogg is a child for all he puts on the airs of an informed adult.

The best we can do with this attention seeker is deprive him of the opportunity to throw a temper tantrum.

They aren't. It's the massive media power, controlling thousands of broadcasting systems throughout the nation, that they are afraid of, and I have been saying for a very long time that we need to be focusing atomic destruction on these bastards that control that broadcasting system.

We must forcibly wrench control of the broadcasting systems of this nation away from our enemies.

Hogg is a Hitler Youth “Street Organizer,” just like Obama.

Where is Fox defending Laura and pointing out what Hogg and his fellow fascists are really doing? I know Rachael Ray and others have pulled their ads, but this will always happen because the Dems won’t stop intimidating advertisers. Fox needs to fight back. You are not allowed to disagree or criticize Hogg & Co. even when they deserve to be denounced in far more severe terms.

Laura Ingraham could use a lot of help. By choice she is surrounded by terrorized sycophants instead of talented friends, so she carries too much weight alone. It’s hard to make good decisions when you’re always redlining.

"This is what an apology gets you. Will we never learn?"

Apparently not. Her apology was just the signal to double the attack. She is now chum in the water and has shown she doesn't have what it takes for modern politics in the US which is nothing short of warfare without bullets, usually.
