Laura Ingraham losing advertisers after knocking David Hogg

[zinfamous]

He's 18 and wants to play politics. Screw him and screw you.

What does that have to do anything? Why can't he? Just jealous that he and his contemporaries are the ones acting like adults, while you abandoned that mantel decades ago?

He's addressing the issues. Your little fan club leaders are attacking him personally. You endlessly bitch and cry about personal attacks here, yet defend your betters when they do it in public, when it matters, against people that are actually addressing the issues, despite the endless personal attacks.

How often do you trot out: "When you can't defend your issue, resort to personal attacks?"

You useless, idiotic, hypocritical scumbag. At what point do you turn inward and reflect on the obvious coward that the rest of us know you to so clearly be? When do you understand what kind of scumbag you present yourself to be?

These kids are 10x the adults you could ever possibly hope to be. And it makes you wet the bed, so you lash out at them personally, just like your betters do, and you champion it.

 

[brycejones]

She shouldn't have apologized. He wants to run around on TV and do various kinds of public speaking gigs and be a political activist, then he's fair game. He wants to preach to all of us, but wants to hide behind being a student. Fck that.

Fern

Fuck your feelings and those who liked your post. WTF "hide behind being a student" its a fucking kid we're talking about here. Is this really the message you want to teach kids? Dare to speak out and adults will attack you for shit not even related to what you are speaking out about?

Fern, you used to be a sane person. The last couple of years you've steadily sunk lower and lower and I think this might be a new low for you.

and that is the point

Did you like his little neo-nazi armband too ? Or his oh so darling little raised arm salute?

You mean THIS Neo-Nazi?

For the record Taj doesn't wet the bed anymore, he just has to change his Depends more often.

GOP strategist Steve Schmidt sums it up nicely reflecting on these kids and the attacks from the right towards them.

Maybe that’s what happens after you’ve been down range of an AR-15 that kills your classmates and comes close to killing you. You lose all fear because this kid is not scared. He’s not scared of the NRA. He’s not intimidated and scared by Laura Ingraham. Laura Ingraham huffs and puffs. You have half the Republican party hiding under the table. Half of them are hiding under their bed. they’re so scared. So timid, so skittish, not these kids, though.

if I could like this more than once I would.

It's always interesting to see in what way taj will prove he completely lacks anything resembling morality.

 

[chrisjames61]

except the ones on the right have more traction with their base than the ones on the left.

the right drinks it up like it was koolaide.

I disagree with you on that point. Extremism doesn't discriminate by doctrine.

 

[chrisjames61]

Hmm you sound like someone who said pretty much the same thing recently. Now who was that?

TBH I don't know who you are talking about. If it is our President I think your reply is off base. Saying extremism is wrong no matter what spectrum it is from is really a pretty common viewpoint.

 

[Zorba]

Obviously I'm not surprised at this response. Apparently if one has a political stance, he or she is fair game for insults unrelated to said stance? I honestly feel bad for you. I don't know what it must be like to go through life so angry and scared.

But remember it is never fair to hold conservative responsible for their actions/insults, that isn't fair game.

 

[Zorba]

I don't know what you are talking about, he is born again, so he automatically have the bestest morality. As we know, you can't be moral unless you are born again.

9 out of 12 advertisers have pulled out. She missed her opportunity at a real apology not just to David, but to all the Parkland kids who’ve been subjected to fake news and personal attacks perpetuated by her network and the alt-right. I guess being a deplorable just doesn't pay in the long run.

Sadly, I'm sure she'll still have radio, books, etc. to exploit the same dupes and keep on making her money.

 

[Thebobo]

If she still has a show I will be sure to watch tonight.

 

[jackstar7]

I'm sure Bill O has room in his basement for her to start a podcast down there with him.

 

[dainthomas]

Even Captain America went after her. Chris Evans called her out for her propensity to race straight to the bottom in terms of political dialogue.

I wish mocking high school students trying to stop their peers from being murdered was as low as the right wing slime machine will go, but we all know that's not the case.

 

[HomerJS]

Maybe she should shut up and dribble

 

[Younigue]

He watches his friends get murdered at school, and wants to talk about it openly. You think it's fair game to attack his "disparate views."

Fuck you, seriously. Maybe if you had balls, you could sympathize. Did you go through your school years thinking that some madman might be around the corner about to murder everyone? I know I didn't. What makes you think you can possibly sympathize with the current paradigm of living a teenage life in this current world?

Exactly. It never once occurred to me someone might come in and shoot at us when I was in school.

 

[jackstar7]

Have we explored the possibility that at some point a couple years back Fern's account was hacked?

 

[SteveGrabowski]

I wish mocking high school students trying to stop their peers from being murdered was as low as the right wing slime machine will go, but we all know that's not the case.

The American right lapped it up when their Dear Leader trashed the family of a dead soldier and made fun of McCain for being a POW while Bone Spurs was grabbing pussies back home, so the right wing hate machine can surely go much lower.

They do seem to be on a mission to prove it.

 

[UNCjigga]

Make that 10/12 advertisers pulling out. Wouldn't be surprised if at some point Comcast and Charter and AT&T etc. get pressured to drop Fox News entirely from the lineup. At some point the CEO of 21st Century Fox might be forced to make a management shakeup.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

she's a genuine shitbag of a human being. deserves everything coming to her and more.
