The David Hogg 'crisis actor' video wasn't bullying. It was propaganda
LA Times ^ | 2/22/18 | Virginia Heffernan

On Wednesday, a nasty piece of character assassination summited YouTube's trending list. The video spread like a rash, and not just among those sympathetic to its wingnut paranoia. If the comments on YouTube and in the media were any indication, it also fascinated hate-watchers.

Throughout history, all totalitarian regimes have exploited children to enact measures to disarm its citizens. After all, “it’s for the children.” Communist regimes, in particular, have used this propaganda to promote the false characterization that its leaders are caring, compassionate and forward-thinking about future generations. Nothing could be further from the truth. Their only interest was, and continues to be the acquisition of power and unopposed subjugation of the citizenry.

Today, liberal fascists are doing the same thing with our impressionable children. On one hand, they’re being celebrated as being insightful and spontaneous clairvoyant visionaries who are worthy of being heard. On the other hand, their totalitarian handlers want to raise the minimum firearms purchasing age to 21, by claiming that these same children are too irresponsible; too impulsive; are prone to fantasy ideation, and, lacking in meaningful life experience.

So, which are we to believe, Comrades?

Remember that Vladimir Lenin, whose political death squads murdered millions of suspected opponents, “loved” children, too!. Well ... unless their last name was Romanov. If Americans allow this totalitarian camel to wedge its nose into our Constitution’s 2nd Amendment tent, the rest of the camel will be sure to follow.

Propaganda. Just like the L.A. Times.

I really haven’t followed this story closely, but the response is typical - attack the messengers, not the message. Which leads me to believe the message is on-target.

You cannot advance gun confiscation without a steady supply of innocent victims.

I didn't see the video...but now that I've seen hysterical denouncement of it, I want to see it.

Great job LA Times!

A word I have not heard used in this tragedy is ‘bullying’. It’s been a big subject in education.

A question that should have been asked of the students: “Many of you likely know Nikolas Cruz, and from earlier grades. Was he bullied at school?”

The LA Times sure seems motivated to protect this child who was very rehearsed in his messaging and looked into the camera and said to PRESIDENT TRUMP, Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, “You sicken me.”

Keep in mind, Camera Hogg, said this within HOURS of the murder. LA Times is VERY motivated to protect this liberal child.

Amazing.

This is all BS to deflect from the real issues. It’s also part of their effort to control speech. Someone lied so we can’t allow any more criticism. I pray people begin to realize how dangerous the left is.

Yep. When ad-hominem is all they have, they’ve lost the argument. Using ad-hominem attacks is admitting defeat.

“It was propaganda”

I found nothing in the article that suggested that the video was inaccurate, misinterpreted or taken out of context. Instead of argument, all I see is invective.

This 'kid' was videoed being coached and rehearsed delivering lines the CNN reporter wanted in the script. Then a video surfaced of this same 'boy' in California being interviewed on a beach, regarding an incident of buggy board placement. The dolt is being groomed as a crisis actor for hire or deployment by CNN when needed.

The spectacle we've been shown following the FloriDUH false flag slaughter is sure to be repeated soon since the planning of post incident manipulation of the public has been so successful. The FBI has a list of unstable teens across America from which they can choose a region to be exploited next. We are seeing evil in its saunter ...

Camera Hogg or Clock Boy.

Which one is exploiting their issue more?

Goebbels would have loved this guy. He’d be the new “Horst Wessel” (only in this case he wasn’t killed, like Horst)

“A word I have not heard used in this tragedy is ‘bullying’. It’s been a big subject in education.”

I’ve posted it a few times here. I figure the overindulged lib kids squawking the loudest are the same ones who went out of their way to torment Cruz, and other kids they feel are “less than”, or odd.

And that is partially the fault of their parents, who also feel superior to the non-elite.

Bullying can be bold thuggery, or subtle dismissiveness and ridicule. Maybe this incident will alert kids to the fact that if they don’t tone it down, they could die.
