Parkland student targets Ingraham's advertisers after tweet about college rejections
One of the student survivors of the Parkland, Fla., mass shooting is calling for people to target Fox News host Laura Ingraham's advertisers after she posted a critical tweet about him being rejected from colleges.
Ingraham had tweeted a Daily Wire story earlier Wednesday about Parkland student David Hogg not getting into four colleges he had applied to.
“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates,)” she tweeted.
Hogg replied a few hours later, tweeting at the Fox News host and asking who her biggest advertisers were.
He later tweeted out a list of Ingraham advertisers, telling people to contact those companies.

Does any one still doubt that young Mr Hogg is a proxy for the left?
The self proclaimed leader of "the students" who march against the NRA, claim that moderate Sen Marco Rubio has "blood on his hands" and now tries to threaten the job of News analyst Laura Ingraham for simply stating a fact that Hogg himself has admitted.
To Florida Gov. Rick Scott (who had the guts to enact new gun law in Florida): "You’re kind of like Voldemort at this point. You should just retire, because you aren’t going to get elected to Senate."
To Sen. Marco Rubio (who has worked on legislation for gun law): "What about the $176,000 you took for those 17 people’s blood?"
To parents of the murdered children: "When your old-ass parent is like, ‘I don’t know how to send an Message,’ and you’re just like, ‘Give me the fucking phone and let me handle it.’ Sadly, that’s what we have to do with our government; our parents don’t know how to use a fucking democracy, so we have to."
Funny, his scorn dosen't extend to democrats who failed to pass a gun law when they had the majority under Obama, yet somehow found a way to vote against their own bill.
The more he talks the more his promoters in the media have to cover and present him in the proper light - As an enlightened activist and leader (Das leader, if you will), whom "we the people" have no right to disagree with.
I think Hogg has finally chosen a worthy opponent. I'm interested to watch her show tonight and check the ratings for tonight's broadcast.
Thanks Davey
So were the actual Liberal promoters with their big screen TV's and Stage "setups". it was all a "Setup", using kids to further a nutz agenda.
She has already issued an apology, that was rejected.
I don't know about that per se, but it is rather amusing that right wing nuts are losing a war of words against a teenager.
A teenager being used to win an old political debate
Awww ... poor little David Hogg went into a hissy fit over a factual Tweet that Laura Ingraham made, so he "maturely" retaliates by calling for a boycott of her show's sponsors. He should write a nursery school edition of Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals".
His not being accepted to some colleges shouldn't really bother him too much. He said that he's not going back to his school until "gun laws" are passed, so that means he's already missed over 30 days of his senior year. There's also this ...
Give him a coloring book and box of crayons.
Do continue spewing your profanity-laced, anti-2A, anti-GOP, anti-gun supporters agenda, David Hogg. Here's why:
This young man just might supplant Obama for the gun salesman of the decade award.
So he has that going for him .... maybe Colt, Ruger, etc will put him on the payroll sans college degree
Maybe, but I wonder if they'd offer it if he also hasn't earned his high school diploma. He's already been truant for over 30 days of his senior year. In my neck of the US, that's ample cause for a school district to withhold progress to the next grade and make a student repeat that grade or granting a senior his/her diploma.
Deleted CoC {SP}
They could do it on the down-low. No one needs to know.
Then once he prefects his best "Che" stare off into space stance and Mick Jagger chicken strut he will most definitely overtake BO as gun salesman of the decade, maybe of the century ....
Comment removed for CoC violation [ph] But seriously, the little attention whore punk is a fuking phony who gives no indication about really caring about ending school shootings.
Lol, the Pee-Wee Herman "i know you are but what am i" defense is another sad failure.
You need to stop doing that to yourself. It's not good for you. Some of us on NT are starting to worry.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
A year from now he'll be working for a Democrat congressperson or bagging groceries at Publix
First, who cares if he's gay or not, he gives no indication one way or the other, and please expand upon "that look" for us. Sounds more like someone here is just a sad homophobe or closeted gay in denial. As for phony and "giving no indication about really caring about ending school shootings", apparently you tune out what he's saying to stare into his eyes, which says more about your sexuality than it does his.
I know you meant that tongue-in-cheek, but I noticed something realistic about his physical appearance - his head is disproportionately very large in comparison to his skinny neck and frail shoulders/chest .
Did you not get the news? I am not the topic here and personal attacks and name calling and labeling are verboten. Prove he is is not what I said. Someone here has such a crush on him that they use his image as their avatar! What I stated is my opinion only, to which I am entitled.
Do you realize that you aimed that comment at yourself? Well done!
Actually the sales went up before the bodies were even cold as did NRA donations. Such is the disease of gun freaks.
Still haven't made the connection have you? Not a surprise, not in the least. Keep it up though! You're doing a great sales job for the NRA and gun industry as well.
I did nothing of the sort, Atheist. My comments 4 and 4.1 directly refer to David Hogg, the topic of this seed. Perhaps you've forgotten what an appositive is.
I've connected you to something.
You responded to your own comment. Checkmate.
We'll just add that to the long list of things that you think you've connected but in reality haven't come close to connecting ...... nothing new there.
SOSDD
Well, why didn't democrats do something when they had the chance?
"Former President Obama aggressively pushed for new gun restrictions, particularly after the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012.
While Democrats had control of the Senate at the time, two gun control measures failed to pass in 2013. The first measure was a ban on assault weapons, proposed by California Senator Dianne Feinstein (D). The second was a proposal for universal background checks proposed by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). "
I have the answer for you if your'e interested
I'll bet you do. I'll give you the correct one now, though. Republiscum controlled the House for 6 of Obama's 8 years in office. And after 2010, Republiscum had a filibuster-proof minority in the Senate.
Wrong answer!
The year that Obama tried to pass it he had a super majority in the Senate!
Would you like to try again?
Actually that reminds me of another time donations to the NRA skyrocketed-- and in fact at the time gun sales also increased dramatically. And that was when Obama was elected. (Some pundits remarked that Obama's election was the best thing for gun sales that ever happened
While at first that may seem to be counter-intuitive, here's the reason: Those gullible gun owners believed the "alternative facts" of the NRA propagandists-- that Obama would "take away your guns"-- perhaps repeal the 2nd Amendment. So they stocked up on guns for that expected event.
DUH!
Of course they exist. But so what? Signs can't make laws-- only elected representatives can!
(And BTW, anyone who thinks the 2nd Amendment will be repealed even if Democrats gain control of Congress don't understand how the repeal process works-- repealing the 2nd Amendment is near impossible).
Again-- signs don't make laws-- Congress does....
And yet, Dems passed Obamacare without a single GOP vote.
Why couldn't they get gun "control" through then?
Why? For the same reason they couldn't get it passed before....
Remember when Obama was elected? The Dems controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress...yet anyone could buy guns without even a background check) )the "gun show loophole").
Most?
So what...a determined murderer could seek out those that don't. (Claimed that a prospective purchasers can't buy a gun because most sellers won't sell one? Well, a;; are not licensed-- it only takes one.
But the laws are much too loose. Remember what happened in Vegas?
Based on those recordings, news conferences and other documents, here's what we know about the moments of terror around the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. histor y that killed 58 people and wounded more than 500.
He kille d 58 people in a short period of time. Obviously current laws aren't working! (And arming teachers wouldn't have stopped that either).
Wrong!
Democrats had the legislation in the Senate, which they controlled with a super majority.
How many of those Senate democrats got inundated with calls from their gun rights constituents and were forced to kill it?
I know, and thank you for pointing out that which is obvious. My comment 4.1 is a response/addition to my comment 4. To the best of my knowledge, this is allowed on NewsTalkers.
If you want to believe that you have accomplished this feat, that's fine with me. But in order to have realistically checkmated me, you would have had to have known what an appositive is. I even gave you a hint. Instead, you've continued to make several unusual comments to me and have failed each time.
I'm sure they know that.
But signs (and large protests) do something else.They bring attention to their cause-- and their actions are having an effect. Public opinion on the issue is beginnig to shift. And some stores have stopped selling guns.
And here's a revealing article I just seeded: Advertisers Are Ditching Laura Ingraham's Show Over Attack On Parkland Survivor , (And in fact, she herself has been forced to apologize for her sleazy comments).
Probably secretly an African-American as well-- also Muslim! Part Muslim-- and part a Jew!
And of course you're right-- minorities like that have no right to voice an opinion!
/sarc
I have a 16 year old grandson. He was 10 when my avatar was taken. I don't always know what he is thinking as I shouldn't. I have to trust that he will eventually put all the pieces of the puzzle together. This Parkland young man is involved in something that has taken wings of its own. He is just a kid.
But apparently he's fair game for right wing bigots attacking him, making ignorant assumptions about his sexuality and baselessly impugning his motives.
Don't really know or care about his sexuality, but his left wing motives are very obvious. If he were really interested in stopping gun violence in schools, he would be advocating realistic, logical, intelligent, practical, and effective solutions to the problem. But no, we get the same old warmed over piss pronouncements about the NRA and assault weapons being banned. Anyone with half a brain knows these new "common sense" gun laws and stricter background checks won't work because criminals and the criminally insane don't obey the laws
And yet you said just minutes ago "I suspect he's also gay. Has that look.".
"Anyone with half a brain knows these new "common sense" gun laws and stricter background checks won't work because criminals and the criminally insane don't obey the laws"
Anyone with half a brain would understand that there are no laws anywhere that can prevent 100% of the things they are intended to limit. Should we ditch all the laws on the books because criminals break the law anyway? Of course not, that would be monumentally stupid because the laws create an incentive to not behave badly which does limit a large amount of crime. Just because someone might still break into your house doesn't mean we should abandon the laws against it. Just because some criminals will still get their hands on guns no matter what gun laws we enact doesn't mean we should just start handing out assault rifles at the hospital every time a new baby is born. Current gun legislation is likely working to prevent many crimes and some additional laws might help prevent even more.
I agree with you.
He is being used and that is very sad.
The day of the MSD shooting, David Hogg willingly and knowingly threw himself into the political and media arena by becoming a vulgar and vocal anti-gun/NRA/GOP/Trump spokesperson. So yes, he is "fair game".
Speaking of "fair game" ... other than being Donald Trump's 12-year-old son, what did Barron Trump do to deserve the ridicule poured on him by the Left for nearly two years? NOTHING.
Let that sink in.
That's why he deserves to get death threats from people you likely know. Right? RIGHT?
And Ingraham got death threats too, right?
Did she? If so, she probably sent them to herself.
You're getting it! That's the problem when someone claims they received "death threats"
Using that argument, we might as well repeal,laws against murder, rape, robbery, terrorism, drulnk driving etc-- because everyone knows the criminals and criminally insane won't obey those laws!
Well if that's the case-- so is Laura Ingraham!
Where? When? The only thing I hear about Barron is when he's mentioned as the 6 month old Melania was at home taking care of while Donald was out shtupping porn stars and playmates.
As for your claim Hogg "knowingly threw himself into the political and media arena by becoming a vulgar and vocal anti-gun/NRA/GOP/Trump spokesperson", the faux outrage at his supposed "vulgarity" is a laugh. You apparently support the most vulgar disgusting President in history but don't seem bothered by it at all.
Your comments have grown more off-base by the hour. IMO, no one deserves to get death threats, and no one I know, including myself, has ever said what you claim they have.
I'm amazed that you never read anything about this. There have been dozens of articles claiming that Barron has low IQ, ADHD, autism, etc. No problem. I'll get you started (there are many more) ...
He's much more adult (and far more intelligent) than any gun freak I've ever encountered on various discussions sites.
He's loud and vulgar, but not very bright. After all, he's just a child.
There is only one reason for your opinion......and you know what it is so why go through the rhetoric?
NO< NO< NO>NO That boy doesn't have the answer and neither do you, me, NRA, or the federal government. It lies somewhere between social media, demanding completed applications for gun ownership and waiting, parental responsibility on gun availability, leads being followed up by LEO, metal detectors at all public facilities.
It wouldn't do for me to be AG.
I say again: he's smarter and more mature than any gun freak on the NT.
Off Topic [ph]
OK. Don't need it.
Then I pity you
I laugh at you.
You must think he's one of you.
Correct-- Trump is all that and more!!!
I laugh at you.
And I . . .sneeze at both of you!
KERCHOO!
Sorry, but that ,of course, makes me think of.......
When were you last exposed to an AR-15 fire? He's already experienced something most people would never be exposed to unless they were in a war zone. You'd better pray your son doesn't have to go through that. He's still just a kid but he wouldn't be after that.
That's right. Which means he's not the tower of wisdom and hopefully all the adoration from the MSM won't turn him into a full time activist. It all goes to your head at that age!
I could see him fitting right in with the rest of the leftist commies at Berkeley with their safe spaces and diaper pins. They are probably already planning on giving him an honorary doctorate degree.
I hear that baseless attack often on these comment boards, so let's get a few things cleared up.
A communist advocates for class war and desires a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
What the left in our country today want and support is a mix of capitalism and socialism.
They believe certain aspects of our society should be owned and operated by the community as a whole for the welfare of all citizens. The military, police, fire departments, transportation infrastructure, public utilities along with some small social safety nets to keep the elderly, infirm and young children from slipping through the cracks that capitalism tends to create. The rest of society is governed by the free hand of the market and prices are derived from supply and demand.
So the left are not "commies" in any real sense, this is just an ignorant misnomer made by people who either didn't get a proper education or didn't take advantage of the education they received by actually paying attention.
Right wing ideology today mirrors the definition of fascism far more than the left mirror any sort of communism.
Next is the misconception that the left are champions of Islam because they actually support religious freedom which the right claim to do but only apply it to their religion. I can't stand Islam, I believe it to be a mental disorder afflicted upon the masses, as is Christianity. I just refuse to attack individual Muslims or Christians because they both have every right to believe what they want to as long as they don't force their religious beliefs on others.
And lastly, one of the biggest misconceptions the right have about the left is their belief that "leftists" want to ban all guns. This would be like saying all "righties" are willing to shoot abortion doctors in the head. While a fringe few might express that attitude, the vast majority simply want sensible gun legislation and have never advocated for a total ban on guns in America just like most anti-choice advocates want changes to the law but would never pull the trigger to murder those they disagree with.
You might as well be shouting at the ocean. It isn't so much an attack as it is a dog whistle; a conditioned response similar to the pavlovian experiment. If we could see these people was they paw on their keyboards we'd actually see the drooling.
was = as, above
It's interesting that Hogg and his supporters use the Black Power/Black Panther salute to advocate their message of "non-violence".
I commend many in Hogg's generation who believe they're educated enough to lecture the world about the US Constitution, but they are also the generation that thinks it's cool to eat Tide Pods.
I've never met any people more ignorant of the U.S. Constitution than rightwingers.
it's also interesting that the "Black Power/Black Panther salute" is used to indicate multiple things (depends on the circumstance) including Black Power, White Power, Human Rights etc... it's also interesting you forgot to mention those meanings but only mentioned Black Power/Black Panther.
Do YOU use it ?
I do the fist pump, not the Certain ...........Historical...........Stiff "Salute" !!!!!!!!!!!
It was predominately been used by blacks as far back as the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. Remember?
The racism, hate, prejudice and discrimination that hounded those athletes all their lives to get them to that point of standing up for justice and equality has no definable hand salute, it pervaded society and continues to infect many bigots who don't like to see their assumed positions of power challenged.
Indeed it is and I never said it didn't.
I didn't forget. I chose what I chose, because it is my constitutional right to do so. If you don't like my comments, don't read or reply to to them. Simple.
It's called "cherry picking" selective facts to support an erroneous position that wouldn't be supported if you had been impartial and included all the facts.
As I said in 7.2.4:
it was a very interesting choice you made based upon your constitutional right to do so.
i'm not sure why i would use any fist pumps or raised fist salutes or anything of that nature. why would you use it ?
Your not very sure of yourself are you.
Short and Sweet Fist Pumps are used when you "Win".
Stiff Fists raised for long periods of time are for those that need attention.
NEEDING ATTENTION: See Hogg.
ah yes.. after which this statement was made - "Tommie Smith stated in his autobiography, "Silent Gesture", that the salute was not a Black Power salute, but in fact a human rights salute." (from my above referenced link)
i'm quite sure of myself and quite sure i have never used a "fist pump" to indicate that i've won anything. Are only Stiff Fists raised for long periods of time used for those that need attention ? it looks like fist pumps would be used for the same reason - needing attention because you "won"
I agree Jasper, black people are scary. Especially when they demand justice and equal civil rights. How arrogant of them!
I'm truly sad that you feel this way, Skrekk.
Maybe you like this one better:
If you want to start smearing people about their hand gestures this is what you get.
And I'm sure trump's neo-Nazi supporters will claim that they are merely moderates:
JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US!
History will be on the side of the Parkland students, not Ingraham and the deplorables she represents.
Thanks for the update. As I said above, I'm interesting in her ratings for tonight's broadcast.
As for the 3 sponsors who caved - I intend to begin a boycott of them on facebook
Beginning with false claims that Hogg was a 'crisis actor' then subsequent false claims that Hogg was not even at school that day and continuing to Hogg being falsely branded a Nazi by alt-right on-line trolls the desperation of the far right to assassinate the character of a young man has been stunning. Deplorable. Beyond reason. It has been shameless and People are paying attention...
I'm not interested in false claims. Why bring them up? Read post #1. Those are my issues with David Hogg. You will find those were all statements that he made.
And those are the FACTS
Exactly!
BTW, there was an excellent article exposing the 5 most prevalent bits of fake news that the far right-wing nut jobs are posting on social media-- and the "alternative facts" they are desperately trying to perpetrate. There's more information about the "crisis actor lie" and the lie about Hogg not even being in school that day-- plus 3 other fake news lies that these nut cases are trying to foist upon the public.
Someone seeded it here on NT-- check it out:
5 Times Parkland Shooting Survivors Were Falsely Criticized (Photos)
It was more than three -- and there will probably be a few more very shortly...
But that's not the point. Up until recently, it was more or less unheard of to defy thepowerful NRA-- so this (as well as some previous other action) are indicative of a major shift beginning to occur...
Aren't you usually the one who posts bogus stories based on lies made by the right wing?
You think so? I think the fact that gun rights voters have been very successful in putting pressure on their representatives. That is what you need to beat. Are you going to do it with those too young to vote or a younger generation that seldom votes?
Only in your mind
Yup, It's gonna be a sad day for Dave, when the bubble bursts.
This is so dumb. Laura didn't write the story or the headline. All she did was retweet it along with a comment that said basically "yeah, no surprise - it's tough to get into a great college these days." That's true! What part of that is offensive? How does that mock the kid specifically?
It's really sad she felt it necessary to apologize. I guess her advertisers are just as dumb as her critics.
Only "some" people are protected by the First Amendment these days, and according to David Hogg, Laura Ingraham isn't one of them.
She's entirely free to express her fascist ideas (and does) on her FarzNooz gig. And rightwing weenies have the nerve to call liberals "snowflakes." But being cowardly hypocrites is their baseline position, right?
How about you? Can you answer Tacos question?
That's a great point.
Let's see if anyone can answer that?
But if what you say is true-- then why did she apologize?
Let's see if anyone can answer that!!!
So you admit that Ingraham just spreads right wing lies no matter how dumb they are?
That's simple, for the same reason Heineken Beer took down a commercial that it was criticized (for a bogus reason) for - she lost sponsors.
But like a true liberal - YOU DODGED MY QUESTION
Where did I do that?
I think your'e trying to provoke me, aren't you?
You can forget that. I'm gonna be here and everywhere 'till that rotten ideology is only found in history books!
Hum, Is there another Saul Alinsky out there? Or is this just new liberal tactics?
I agree
I want to thank most people for decent discussion on how David Hogg responded to a tweet he didn't like.
Tacos gets credit for the key question, which no liberal could answer:
All she did was retweet it along with a comment that said basically "yeah, no surprise - it's tough to get into a great college these days." That's true! What part of that is offensive? How does that mock the kid specifically?
I'm shutting this seed down for the numerous code violations
Thank you all
