Title: Facing boycott, Laura Ingraham apologizes for taunting Parkland teen over college rejections

Fox News host Laura Ingraham has apologized a day after taunting Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg over his college rejections.

On Wednesday morning, the “Ingraham Angle” host had tweeted a story from a conservative news site that described Hogg as a “Gun Rights Provocateur” who had not gained acceptance to four University of California schools.

“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it,” Ingraham tweeted. “(Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”

Ingraham appeared to take back her comments Thursday afternoon, hours after Hogg sent a tweet calling for advertisers to boycott her Fox News show. Hogg’s tweet generated thousands of retweets and resulted in at least two brands promising to sever its relationship with Ingraham.

“On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,” Ingraham tweeted. She also tried to curtail the damage by noting Hogg had appeared on her show after the shooting.

All she did was point out the truth. It wasn't even related to the shootings. Geez, doesn't she realize you never apologize to these people?

Laura's a Catholic. Catholics examine their consciences about things they've said and done, and when they think they have not acted in an appropriate Catholic way, they apologize for the specific thing they did, though not perforce apologizing for what they think.

As she said: "in the spirit of Holy Week".

I've done this myself on this site a couple of times. When you go overboard, you apologize and try to do better. You don't just quietly confess to God and let it be, you do the painful thing of actually addressing the people you've wronged in some way, and you try to make it right - even if you still don't like them or agree with them. Restoring the peace is a dominant value in and of itself, to Catholics anyway.

Laura is acting utterly Catholic here. Her motives are exactly what she said they are - same as mine here in the past, actually.

The other part of Catholic thinking that is rarely expressed is that apologies are free, and once you've made your apology, you're done with your guilt. You try not to repeat the behavior, but the issue is done, as far as the Catholic concerned.

I understand your train of thought here, but the context is wrong.

It's one thing to be wrong about something and apologize for the content or tone. But Laura Ingraham is apologizing for the truth of the matter in righteous anger. Why is apologizing for "offending" LIARS and HYPOCRITES considered honorable? (the MSM and warring Leftists are today's Scribes and Pharisees) Laura spoke in righteous anger. All she accomplished by apologizing is enabling liars and their continued hypocrisy and propaganda.

Restoring the peace is a dominant value in and of itself, to Catholics anyway...

Vic, I love ya, Man. BUT...come on. She backed down out of cowardice and intimidation.

(I'm not going to get into the RC history of Papal persecution and corrupt Popes.)

Yes indeed -- "Blessed are the Peacemakers"...but Jesus NEVER backed down to the Scribes and Pharisees, did He? NOT ONE BIT. Instead He told the truth -- he called them "vipers"...TO THEIR FACE. REBUKED THEM IN PUBLIC.

THIS is one reason Donald Trump was voted President! He refuses to back down to Leftist-Elite intimidation and threats.

Here is my single most favorite scene from 'Jesus of Nazareth.'

And moreover, HOW is the current Pope promoting "peace"?? He the more divisive politicians...er...Pope in history. He is anti-Christian as a matter of fact.

Did Jesus apologize for kicking the money changers out of the of the temple?
