Jumping whole-hogg into the political spotlight (Updated)

It's so easy and fun to be a liberal and it gets you adoration from celebrities.

Parkland survivor David Hogg calls on advertisers to boycott Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show

"David Hogg, one of the most outspoken survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, is pushing back against Laura Ingraham’s taunts.
Ingraham, a conservative radio host and author, teased Hogg about the 17-year-old’s rejections from college.
“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it,” she tweeted Wednesday with a link to a Daily Wire article. “(Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”
Hogg told TMZ that he had been rejected from UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine, but accepted at Florida Atlantic University, Cal Poly and Cal State San Marcos.
"I am not surprised at all, in all honesty,” he told the gossip site.
. . . "Around 9:30 p.m., he published a list of advertisers, asking his 595,000 followers to call the companies, including Hulu, Liberty Mutual and Sleep Number. " . . .

UPDATE from Daily Caller



UPDATE: Advertisers pull ads from Fox’s Ingraham after her jab at Parkland student As of 1 pm, CST 3/29
. . . "Nutrish, celebrity cook Rachael Ray’s dog food company, announced on Thursday that it was “in the process of removing ads from Laura Ingraham’s program.” TripAdvisor, the American travel website, told POLITICO that it had “made a decision to stop advertising on that program.” . . .
Ingraham apologizes.

How Do You Really Feel about David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez?  "A proposed thought experiment for my liberal friends: What if the Parkland students – and the hundreds of thousands of other fired up adolescents who gathered around the nation last weekend – were not on your team?  What if, rather than advocating in favor of something you passionately agree with, they were advocating in favor of something you passionately disagree with?  Say, for example, their voices were raised not for the purpose of restricting access to guns, but for the purpose of restricting access to abortion?" . . .
. . . So, for example, instead of seeing a sixteen-year-old on a podium in front of an enthusiastic throng thundering that "any politician who receives a dollar from the NRA has blood on his hands," it would be "any politician who receives a dollar from Planned Parenthood has blood on his hands."
. . . "Someone should say to these young people: you are being used.  If that's OK with you, fine.  But know that's what it is.  And know that sometime down the road, it is going to end, and you are going to be discarded.  At that point, at least some of you will look back on your behavior during this period and be embarrassed, even horrified." . . .

The 15 minutes of fame are about up for Daniels and Hogg
. . . "The loathsome David Hogg and the pitiful Stormy Daniels are each sad commentaries on our 15-minutes-of fame culture.  The saddest aspect of their brushes with celebrity is their own apparent belief that these events are meaningful.  They are not – not one bit.  They are both this month's media instruments of rage and ratings.  Nothing Hogg has to say is based on truth or facts.  Whatever is true or not true re: Daniels's accusations is of no interest to anyone but voyeurs like Anderson Cooper." . . .
