Laura Ingraham, David Hogg and the beginning of the end of free speech.

[HappyJoy]

His response was perfect. If you're going for personal insults then fine, call the advertisers. You'll notice (or not) that Hogg hasn't attacked anyone who tries to debate him on substance.

Actually he's been attacking anyone who pisses him off.
Arbys didn't drop their ads,....to he attacked them.

Oh? What personal attacks has Hogg said to Arby's?

He posted the names and private emails of Arbys executives.

Did he say if you like Arby's you have the blood of dead children on your hands?

He posted the names of Arby's executives along with their corporate email addresses? Oh no, that's....kind of not a big deal.

It wouldn't be a big deal, unless you have hundreds of thousands of lemmings following you and carrying out your wishes.

People contacting Arby's to tell them their displeasure with them advertising on Ingraham's show? No, not a big deal in the sense you guys want to make it out to be.

Again, you dolts don't like boycotts unless you're the ones starting them.

Laura Ingraham, the Fox News host of the Ingraham Angle was riding high as she presided over the fourth most watched cable news show in America. She used her freedom of speech to scrawl an emotional screed critical of David Hogg, a high school student who has become the face of the anti-gun movement. Ingraham, well educated, articulate woman, went from the penthouse to the outhouse overnight because she turned to the bathroom stall wall we call Facebook and attacked Hogg with a cheap, signed smear.

Hogg promptly identified her show’s sponsors and called for boycotts which quickly materialized leading Ingraham to take a “planned vacation” which is code for she’s likely gone. Ingraham should have known better.

Whenever or wherever opinions are expressed there is bound to be disagreement because people have different life experiences. This causes most people to reserve personal opinions especially in public settings. In the United States we have the first amendment which essentially means that we can say or write anything so long as what we say or write does not slander or bring harm to others or infringe on the rights of others to express different or unpopular opinions.

The First Amendment is a golden rule of American democracy that sets it apart from most other great civilizations not just in space but in time. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 the event was hailed as a decisive victory for democracies embracing freedom of speech and the table appeared to be set for a golden age of world democracy.

But freedom of speech has a built in flaw: it raises the specter that the people could use it to call for getting rid of it. Just the fact that people are endowed with freedom of speech does not guarantee that they understand its significance or will use it responsibly. When it becomes a means to an end people will find creative ways to abuse it.

Both Laura Ingraham and David Hogg are guilty of abusing freedom of speech. Ingraham went after Hogg with the power of Fox News via Facebook and Hogg went after Ingraham’s livelihood probably on the advice of his political handlers.

Does this balance out? Not really. It’s wrong to crush opposing points of view with power and it’s just as wrong to go after a person’s income because you don’t agree with them.

If we lose freedom of speech here we’ll deserve it.

Did you miss civics class when in high school???

Freedom of speech applies to the US Govt....

The US govenment can not stop you from saying whatever you want to say, against them or others.

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Laura Ingraham mouthing off, or David Hogg's 'free speech' when he responded.

He keeps his shit up he's going to regret it.



He's going to need an armed body guard and that will be the sweetest moment evah!!!!!!!

Threats fro the right.

How original.

 

[Crepitus]

He's not a survivor.

Who cares? Does that mean his schoolmates didn't get shot?

Everytime Hogg's name is mentioned on CNN?MSNBC they refer to him as a "survivor".
The punk was AT HOME, probably playing violent video games when the shooting happened.
Now the lying mutt has attacked John McCain.

Not so. You've fallen for fake news. Again.

David Hogg not at school during shooting? That's fake news

A 17 year old with a Twitter account forces Fox News to grovel

Is this a great country or what!

Hey twat did you know that FOX is headed now by the two biggest liberal left wing ***** on the planet? And that Media Matters started the war not Anderson Cooper "I"ll take it up the ass sir" Jr aka "my cheeks will take your dick" sir.

FOX is not cowered. Only conservatives can bring it to its knees. And the Murdoch brothers learned over Sean they best not push their agenda.

Do you realize how silly and desperate you sound?

It was fun watching a child tangle with a Fox star and bring her to her knees begging forgiveness

and as a bonus the Wing nut tears cries and lamentations are sweet sweet indeed

After 18 brands pull ads from her show, Laura Ingraham says she's taking a week off

Pre planned vacation. March break you know. I guarantee when she hits again her numbers are going thru the roof. AND DAVID will still be rejected from universities who he applied to.

This is a good article, and it shows the visciousness of David Hogg.

David Hogg's attempt to end Laura Ingraham's career sets dangerous precedent

It is called accountability for your own actions

Laura Ingraham learned a valuable lesson

Yes hopefully she has learned that the MSM is going to cover this saint with kid gloves who is above ridicule, and that any legitimate criticism of him is off limits.

Was mocking his rejection from colleges legitimate criticism

I don't think it was appropriate or smart, but his response is much more vicious and extreme.

The kid knows how to play the game

If you disagree with what Laura Ingraham said about me..... call her sponsors

Money...or the loss of money......talks....

 

[JimH52]

The first impulse of hardcore partisan ideologues (side irrelevant) when challenged is the standard deflect/pivot/attack routine.

Ingraham is so afflicted by the condition that it blinded her to what her opponents could do with her Tourette's-like outburst.

This is a disease with no known cure.
.

It was really stupid of her, and of all people, she was the one who wrote "Shut Up And Sing".

Having said that, this punk's response is unwarranted.

Well, this country has completely lost its shit.

I'd just think it would be more wise to carefully pick one's targets rather than just spray the shit everywhere.
.

Much if not most of the reason we've 'lost our shit', is due to social media, and cable news

24/7 cable news is melting brain cells....

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAWS ... hopefully the reader will understand this singular act has no impact on the First Amendment.

As a troll, the author of the OP should be concerned, The Society of Trolls expels people whose efforts to do their business, i.e. troll, and fails miserably can be sanctioned, and even lose their privileges to troll.
