I look forward to Hogg's apologies to Republicans ("sick f***ers"), Dana Loesch (she was "hypocritical and disgusting" for criticizing Broward Sheriff Scott Israel), and Marco Rubio (he said Rubio was bribed by the NRA to give away children's lives)

David Hogg is not accepting Ingraham's apology: “She only apologized after we went after her advertisers... It kind of speaks for itself.” nytimes.com/2018/03/29/bus

You may not like what Ingraham said. You may disagree with it. I did. But it isn't remotely CLOSE to the level of viciousness with which Hogg has attacked people who disagree with him.

I was Hogg's age when I started writing a syndicated column. I got hammered repeatedly -- and some of it was justified. When you join the public discourse, you take on slings and arrows. That's even more true if you decide to maliciously malign your opponents, as Hogg has.

But, were you traumatize in a school shooting? This is a wildly inappropriate comparison, which really says something about how you perceive the world.

Totally agree

. If you want to jump into the public and you want to sling hash expect hash to be slung back. Nobody on the left is worried about

At this point, Hogg probably thinks he is invincible given how CNN and other media outlets have elevated him into a kind of Progressive messiah. When the falls comes -- and it will -- Hogg will become even more embittered and push his bullying to new depths.

17 Ben. 17 of his classmates are dead. In what world, do you get to compare yourself to him at this age? Have you gone through something similarly? Seriously, dude, this is one of the sickest most self righteous things you've ever tweeted. Please re-examine.

and

Arguments are validated by quality, not the amount of suffering or outrage the person presenting has. I think that is the premise of all this. You can criticize an argument without questioning suffering. The issue is that neither side does so respectfully.

You chose that path. You were not the survivor of an attack. You did not watch friends & classmates die. Hogg is not making a career choice like you did, he is responding to a crime that directly impacted his life. Equating the two demonstrates the bankruptcy of your thinking.
