As we reported earlier Thursday, teen demagogue David Hogg has called on his supporters to boycott and pressure companies that advertise on Laura Ingraham’s program in retaliation for her statement regarding news that he has been rejected by four colleges. Here is my response to young Mr. Hogg
David,
I understand how you must feel after losing 17 of your classmates. As a 10-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I know what it’s like to lose comrades and friends in a senseless act of bloody violence. David,
I understand how you must feel after losing 17 of your classmates. As a 10-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I know what it’s like to lose comrades and friends in a senseless act of bloody violence.
We all deal with our losses in various ways. Some of us do so quietly, while others comfort themselves with prayer, confident that the day will come when we’ll all be reunited. You, however, chose to become a public spectacle.
Since the Parkland shooting, the country has watched as you and some of your fellow students chose to smear millions of law-abiding gun owners and NRA members, accusing them of having blood on their hands. We watched as you accused lawmakers of being child murderers.
We watched as you engaged in profane attacks against gun owners and even your own parents.
We watched as you spread lies and misinformation about the NRA, falsely claiming the organization is out to sell guns and make money while cheering the deaths of children.
We watched as you bragged about hanging up on the Trump White House and we all watched as you falsely claimed the NRA is trying to turn the United States into a dictatorship.
Now you’re upset because Laura Ingraham tweeted something about you being rejected from four colleges and are demanding her advertisers face boycott unless they drop her.
Let’s get something straight — YOU chose to become a public figure and YOU chose to use your First Amendment free speech right to express yourself and call for restrictions on a fundamental constitutional right. And YOU chose to let the world know that you were rejected by those colleges. No one forced you to do that — you did it all by yourself.
Now you’re mad because someone dared to respond.
Guess what, sports fans? When you choose to become a public figure, you open yourself up to criticism. That’s the way it is. You don’t get a pass from criticism despite what some at CNN might think.
What makes it worse is this tweet, which has been pinned to the top of your Twitter feed for some time:
"Can we please not debate this as Democrats and Republicans but discuss this as Americans? In the comments if you see someone you dissagree with do not attack each other talk to one another, this applies to me too. WE MUST WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE OUR FUTURE."
This certainly doesn’t line up with your own actions before and since this tweet. In fact, your actions and statements since this tweet have exposed you as a rank hypocrite.
Here’s the bottom line — If you’re going to be a public figure you need to put on your big boy pants and grow up. You can’t trash and lie about millions of Americans and expect no backlash whatsoever. That’s not the real world.
So either grow up and deal with the criticism like an adult or do us all a favor and shut up.
I am expecting a completely level-headed and moderate response, to the tune of, “WAAAHHHHHHHH! HE’S BEING MEAN TO MEEEEEEE!”
“So either grow up and deal with the criticism like an adult or do us all a favor and shut up.”
Perfect!
Amen Brother!
That’s perfectly written.
Now doubt the powerful child will request a court-martial for this Marine.
Hogg is a puppet.
Who pulls the strings?
hogg will call him a bully and say that he needs to be held accountable, little Robespierre that he is
Talk about your “pearls before swine”!
I hope that the honorable writer will recall that when one lies down with Hoggs, one get up with fleas. Therefore we should all shut up about that worthless POS and let his fifteen minutes of infamy expire.
This spoiled brat needs to be treated as a spoiled brat.
He needs to be labeled as such continuously and pushed back on every time he opens his mouth and either lies or distorts.
Perfect!!!!
May be a long ass fifteen minutes....
Ignore the little Foggit.
My wondering at this point in time....Where are his parents?
Particularly his father. I can see his mother being hesitant to pin his stupid ears back, (maybe being smaller and sappy foolish), but surely his father (Fibbie, etc) ought to be able to stand up to this adolescent idiocy.
So, where are they? Has anyone interviewed them, and asked them about their son’s rude and insulting remarks?
I think there is a story here, friends.
I would agree. Why are his old a**ed
parents so far into the background?
Ingnore him so he’ll GO AWAY !!!! Don’t indulge him with a thought or response ....
Nah, keep him talking until November. He is the perfect reminder of what will happen to us if they get in charge again.
Well written letter.
Little Goebbels will go ape$hit.
