Title: David Hogg wouldâ€™ve made a good brownshirt
Post by: mystery-ak on March 31, 2018, 02:17:30 pm: By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Friday, March 30, 2018

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

David Hogg, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high-schooler who seems to have set himself up as Laura Ingrahamâ€™s arch nemesis, has been making national television rounds of late, pretty much calling for adults to step aside and let the teenagers rule â€” because hey, who knows better how to run a country than a kid.

And now heâ€™s demanding Ingraham of Fox News denounce her network â€” her employer â€” else heâ€™ll keep up his call for advertisers to boycott.

Hogg wouldâ€™ve made a pretty decent brownshirt back in the pre-World War II day. Those are the National Socialist party people who ran around Germany strong-arming and bullying and intimidating the general populace into accepting the goals of the Nazi organization. Not saying Hoggâ€™s one now â€” goodness, no. There are advertisers to consider, of course.

Just saying his demeanor, his rhetoric, his whiney demands, his illogical views of the Second Amendment, his refusal to consider facts and historical truths over emotionally charged screams â€” all that, added up and considered, suggests he may have missed his calling by a few decades, and an Atlantic Ocean.

Yes, but the longer he's around past his "Use By" date, the more likely he is to trip over another heavily media-favored entity, like John McCain.

It appears likely he was at the school, but in no clear danger because he was in the Senior section, clear across the campus from the Freshman section which was where the shooting happened. Apparently he went home, and bicycled back as fast as his skinny legs could carry him so he could get in front of the cameras to "advocate" for gun control (his word, a verb).
