The "fail" is your thread, which was a whine fest about the "putz" attacking Ingraham's advertisers. Poor baby. Kid tweeted something mean about Laura Ingraham, multi-$millionaire with a national platform on Fox News....

Yep, Hogg like many of those on the left want the 'infailable arguer" status...I get it....What a position...Being able to do, and say anything you want, and no one can respond in kind....This kid, and those on the left tried to turn this tragedy into a cause for 'gun control', thus putting themselves into the political debate...Ingraham jabbed at him, and the first reaction of this little **** was to go after her sponsors and try like hell to destroy her....

Well, that is how you guys play these days...don't like the messenger then try to take them out, or shut them up....

It just shows how in reality what a weak argument you liberals have.

Once again, attacking by trying to insult anyones intellegence who disagrees with you, something seen multiple times now in this thread. The highschool kid did not debate or win anything.. he simply posted sponsors on his twitter, and the coward companies and people in this country simply spooked, and for what? public factual information? We cant even speak facts anymore? So if i was to talk about things i should lie more? i should say that kid got invited into harvard university?

Left wingers are so happy giving up the basic core values of america these days, you people simply dont care about what this country is becoming, worse and worse, year by year by over immigration and constant hits of racism to anyone who disagrees with your faulty agenda, and if that does not work, lets go pick out some gold star families and kids to become our activist and spread more faulty information.

So sick and tired of this and with no end in sight, so hard to be an american these days because people are truely unable to handle real life without safe spaces and butterflies constantly around them.

That's idiotic stuff right there. The guy you're criticizing has probably had more public criticism thrown at him the last few weeks than those of us on this thread will collectively see in a lifetime, and he's still out there. On what basis can you claim he is "unable to handle real life." Ingraham played the "let's make this personal" routine and he threw it right back at her. It's one way to deal with bullies in 'real life.'

Are you kidding me? this kid hasnt been challanged on anything he says.. and all you can do is go as far underground to find the most crazy and negative things that some lunatics say about him and state that as evidence? Really? You guys need to decide if this guy is a child who is supposed to be cuddled to death and still has to have the birds and the bees talk, or if hes an activists who is trying to spread his agenda on an entire country thats also has attacked as many people as he tried to defend. You cant have it both ways.

This dude has been spewing garbage for a while now, and hes sticking his face on every screen that he can get his hands on... Nothing about his "so called friends" but more about who disagrees with him is a killer who loves to see kids die, and once again, never gets actually challanged on any of the crap he is spitting here....Like typical left winger garbage, what are his views on gun control? Oh, raise the age of buying an AR to 21? WOAH, great work my friend, lets watch these same kids die in 2 years since the shooter was 19 and was never supposed to have a gun in his hands in the first place.

Lets just keep ignoring all the glaring issues that cause these school shootings before they ever are able to get a gun, and then lets pretend that even if you got rid of all the guns, we wouldnt have school stabbings, vehicle rampages and home made bomb devices if these lunatics actually wanted to do harm, but you know, brainless activism about anything and everything is very fun, hell as seen in this case can actually make people rich and make them rockstars for a tad.

As you correctly point out, Ingraham is a big girl and can handle herself. Why are you whining that after she made it personal, he said, effectively, fine - let's make it personal. He has a tiny fraction of her power, in wealth or prestige or influence, but you took it on yourself to defend the powerful. Nice job.

And what you're ignoring is the guy has been under constant personal attack for weeks since the shooting, starting day 1 and continuing I'm sure every day on social media and the internet. So spare us the whining about what he tweeted about Ingraham.

Oh please, how did the boycotts go last year over stores that say "Happy Holidays?" And there is no chance any boycott of Ingraham is effective over that tweet. If any advertisers drop her it's because she's squandered her talents in favor of being a flame throwing right wing hack.

See I wish those on the right would stick to dissent from their views. But what Ingraham did here and the crisis actor accusing people did was not that. And all these personal attacks on the kids only result in two things: missing a chance to make actually good arguments and engendering sympathy for the marchers which will result in more people emotionally connecting with their arguments.

I’m not really sympathetic at all to Ingraham here, who is only hurting her own, and my cause.

The guy has been attacked starting day one and I'm sure every day. He's showed he can take the criticisms and stay out there in the public eye. What you're whining and moaning about is he called for a boycott of Ingraham's advertisers, which is not in fact evidence he needs a safe space, but that he is pushing back against a woman with wealth and power who decided to make the thing personal. If he wanted a safe space free from criticism, he'd get out of the public eye and do what normal teenagers do.

He's no more demanding of a safe space than is Ingraham here, who if she can't handle the boycott called by this snowflake, is a pathetic figure who herself cannot handle criticism.

Bottom line is your argument is crap because by being in the public eye for now six weeks or so despite the constant criticism, he's proved your premise wrong for six straight weeks, with no end in sight.

Im so amazed how people are offended at the most random of things... and because of that this foolish kid is doing what? trying to ruin her because hes a left wing puppet for gun control?

This kid has insulted more people in the last month then anyone else on television... He has already been quoted multiple times of spewing false information that all the so called "journalists" are scared to correct him on.....

How have we fallen so hard in America were companies are trying to control what we say based on their sponsorship money... This is so blown out of porportion by this kid who is playing the victim role americans fell in love with recently.

Just stop already, this is not even a topic 10 years ago, what a joke. Im so tired of this left wing drama constantly, all day every day, soon this is going to be trumps fault somehow, cuz you know, its the popular thing to day right now, blame trump for everything.

The right have resorted to attacking children on an almost daily basis. Children who survived a mass shooting at their school. This is how pathetic the Republican party has become.

She pointed out he was rejected by four schools and was "whining" about it. That was false, of course, and petty. He didn't whine - the opposite in fact. But she wanted to make a little personal jab - rubbing his face in the rejection with the added 'bonus' of accusing him of whining. Fine. I don't care, but I'm not the one who started a thread whining about this little putz then calling for a boycott of her advertisers - that was YOU.

I'm saying if she's dropped it's because her advertisers don't like her overall message and/or how she delivers it and don't want their brand associated with it. It won't be over the tweet.

As to alienating customers, Ingraham draws something like 600,000 viewers in the demo, and 3 million overall. I guess it's a market decision whether or not reaching those numbers on her show is worth possibly alienating others out there. I don't have a problem with letting the markets work on things like that.

Almost everything on twitter is nothing but foolishness. But what did she do that is "venom, hate, vitriol," etc. As far as I see, she had merely made fun of him for being rejected by Universities, correct? It's rude and mean, sure, but it's also our media circus at play. It's not like she was hoping for bad things to happen to him or personally influencing the universities to reject him.

Dumb and insensitive sure, but I'm not sure we're quite sinking to the level of venomous hate. Regardless, he's played back just the same; showing that he's just the same as any of these drama-focused "media" clowns.

He responded "in kind." It was not 'dirty' for him to call her on her stupidity. She is a professional journalist, she gets no mulligans. I was a professional broadcaster for 30 years...there are no mulligans.

But here's my point. Does an adult, a professional turn to a teen and give the equivalent of "neya, nyea, nyea...you can't get into college"? If you were her boss, would you lad this behavior? We know the Spanky Wankies do. But as a simple question of professionalism is this what you want of your employer?

It would be for me if I was sponsoring a kids clown show, but her audience are allegedly adults....and Idon't know an adult that would allow that kind of cheap, underhanded, childishness in their home.

As has happened in the liberal media, she has to go.

She would have to go if her employer actually had an ethical standard. Luckily for her, that's not a problem in this case.
