So - old lady calls out millennial on social media, gets schooled, issues half-hearted apology, and conservatives lose it.

The new normal, I guess.

You folks just keep on being as sweet as you can be towards these young people, don't you? I smell fear.

Then those laws need to be revisited. A solution must be had because the current circumstances are untenable. Tolerance of mass murder is insanity.

So you don't care about shooting victims? You weren't very clear. Perhaps you should focus your ample attention on solutions, instead of condemning survivors.

Or he's an adult, who knowingly and willingly stepped onto the public stage, called innocent Americans murderers, and demanding gun control. To attack that adult is acceptable.
Would you prefer "young adult" or "teen"?

Even kids are allowed to have a opinion, and express it. And he has some experience that many here do not-of having his classmates killed. He BY FAR has more experience and wisdom on that topic then most.

But if you feel his wisdom, and experience are invalid-then go ahead. Attack THOSE ideas. Not him.

You're trying to twist things in any way you can to make this sort of nonsense OK. Its not. Its sad and pathetic. When you can't address the topic, you try and make it about the person.

Sometimes it IS about the person when they show a repeated behavior, or when their character is important. This is not one of those times.

The DNC's MO is George Soros. And tell me, who's losing again? Is Hillary in the WH?

Have any of you guys watched his interview with Bill Maher? I didn't have any particular opinions about this kid but after seeing the interview, my opinion about him is very low

What does Hillary have to do with this? I mean aside from being your go-to deflection?

In the meantime, keep attacking and ridiculing the largest generation since the baby boomers, who are engaged, are coming of age right now and will be a huge voting block in the very near future. That sounds like a sound policy going forward.

The right is shooting itself in the foot by going after these kids, but I for one want you guys to keep it up. Call them names and ridicule them on national television and in blogs and tweets, and lose their votes for life. Works for me.

Here's what gets me:

High school kids are WAY meaner than this to each other on a daily basis.

They constantly call each other names and drop the f bomb and every other horrible word. The only thing meaner than high schoolers are middle schoolers.

And Hogg thinks Laura I. should lose sponsors because she said he was whiny?

I can guarantee you being called whiny didn't bother him a bit. This is just the new playbook by SJW....I don't like what you said, so I'm going to pitch a fit. He's trying to extend his 15 minutes.

BTW, as a UCLA grad, I'm glad he got rejected.
