He's not saying she has to change her views, merely making advertisers think twice if they want to be associated with her brand.


Exactly why when it comes to business, I'm apolitical. Obviously harder for her to do...

No one is forcing anybody to boycott anything. People are using their wallets to express their views. If you like capitalism, you should be all for this.

What you're really pissed off about is that it worked, because Hogg caused a number of advertisers to pull their business from Fox. Good for him.
Do you like freedom of speech? David Hogg is using his to express his dislike for Laura Ingraham, and katygirl68 is using hers to say she doesn't like David Hogg, as am I.

In fact, maybe katygirl68 an I could start a boycott. Any product David Hogg is seen with, uses, endorses, etc...we should boycott those products and tell them until they disavow David Hogg, we won't use their products. David Hogg should appreciate our peaceful use of freedom.

Can't speak to making him hostile, but it sure made him avaricious and narcissistic.

As am I. So what's the problem?

David’s 15 mins just started. Being in a mass shooting has changed his life. He will most likely be politically active for his entire life. Go David

Yep, his haters tend to overlook that little fact, and they prefer to take cheap shots at him because he is actually doing something instead of sitting on his can, waiting for the next massacre to happen.


These kids are the real heros of this country.

Did hogg say anything about the last mass shooting, nobody got killed...but 20 or so were injured....


So, what did laura do to get him all riled up again, do tell....or is he just going after what is a easy target that kinda worked before?

The right always attacks him personally (and the other kids that have been proactive) instead of their viewpoints. More evidence of what horrible people they've become.


Kid is doing nothing but EFFECTIVELY using his platform to effect change. Attack the message not the messenger.
