Parkland Student Hogg: FedEx Must Drop NRA Support or We’ll “Take Care” of Them
Finkel Blog ^ | 2/26/18 | Mark Finkelstein

Is fame giving delusions of grandeur to David Hogg, the Parkland student who’s become a media celebrity as an advocate of more gun control?

During a long interview with Joy Reid on her MSNBC show today, Hogg at one point looked directly into the camera and said that in contrast with several other companies that had offered discounts to NRA members:

“FedEx still has not dropped their deal with the NRA. The CEO is one of the biggest donors to the NRA. And we have to take care of them. And as a result, if they aren’t going to, we’re going to have to take action as the consumers. Because we have the power in a business, just like we have the power in our democracy.”

Earlier in the interview, Hogg boasted of how his Twitter following has exploded. We caught him last week saying how little sleep he’s been getting due to all media interviews he’s been doing. Hogg of course has the right to speak out. And boycotts are a technique used by both the right and left. But Hogg might keep the Chick-fil-A precedent in mind. Students and others tried to organize a boycott against Chick-fil-A because of statements by its COO in opposition to gay marriage.

There was a huge backlash to the boycott, culminating in Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day on August 1, 2012 that resulted in record-breaking sales.

If Hogg and others continue to push their FedEx boycott, the result could “absolutely, positively” be increased business for the company.

I thought he was going to year last longer than this. I’ve never seen somebody be this much a flash in the pan.

"Hogg boasted of how his Twitter following has exploded."

All ISIS and taliban recruiters.

Am I the only one that has visions of this punk going off the rails and slaughtering more people than Cruz (or whoever) did, when reality finally slaps him in the face?

There’s nothing about this little punk that is organic regarding his sudden activism. He was absolutely put up to this by the MSM and the DNC and related entities.

I think Hoggs 15-minutes are up; time to go back to school, else drop out and get a job. With mom and dad’s money, he’ll likely be living in their basement playing computer games for many coming years.

“But man, proud man,
Dress’d in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he’s most assur’d—
His glassy essence—like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep.”

Measure for Measure

So mpb threatens fedex, and fedex, unarmed, capitulates.

Typical.

This little shit needs to be taken for a walk in the woods and receive a little explanation about how life works. He’s feelin’ his oats and needs to be cut down off the cross. Next thing you know that fat turd Michael Moore will be making a movie about him starring him.

Then he’ll start dating Alyssa Milano...

I dunno about anyone else, but if you showed me this image, without me knowing anything else about current events, and asked me which one was more dangerous, more likely to want to kill people, I'd say:
"The one on the left. He looks to be perpetually angry at the entire world and bereft of any conscience."

Wonder if he and his family are receiving $$$$ for this? I’ve not seen anyone like this at his age.

Excellent.

I know several of the Shakespeare passages, but that one is new to me , and so appropriate, not only to Hogg, but MOST of the actors in this play.

You really think Alyssa dates that low on the evolutionary scale?
