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?

The talking heads are obviously using any excuse to avoid being clipped.

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.

Man...She just lost a lot of respect from me.

You NEVER apologize for Truth.

If she feels she must now temper her analyses, she's politically castrated. Ingraham will be near-worthless in this culture fight and Leftist War on America and Common Sense.

Yeah, but an irrelevant truth. She felt bad about it later and apologized. I wouldn't have, but hey.

And I don't think her advertisers had anything to do with it.

Spoken like a true Protestant!

Of course you apologize - not for truth, but for the rude manner of delivery.

The apology is free, and you feel better when you've done it. Laura apologized because she felt bad about the WAY she attacked the kid, not because she doubted what she said.

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.

Righteous anger. No need to apologize for it. Sometimes a forceful manner of righteous anger can indeed be rude and crude.

(Watch the portrayal of Jesus as He delivered his "rude manner" of eviscerating the Scribes as seen and heard above.)

Spoken like a true Protestant!

Aw, are you REALLY going there? For your edification, I don't live my life as a "Protestant," but as a "Christ-ian." A pray as a "Christ-ian." And I will die as a "Christ-ian."

I KNOW Jesus Christ and our Father will NOT be dividing Believers to The Kingdom by "CATHOLICS HERE"..."PROTESTANTS HERE".

Why are you compelling me to make you defend your decisive, scheming, Koran-kissing Popes? The same Communist/Secular Activist Pope who will NOT defend RCCs and Christians being slaughtered daily by Muslims and ChiCom in Africa, the Middle East and in China.

Don't compel me to invoke the sad history of the millions of innocent people condemned to die horrible deaths by Papal decree for simply believing in the Word of God over the word of (Catholic) man; and those who desired a Bible who again were condemned to death.

And what of Popes who like true Mafiosi "godfathers" put an official hit on Luther?

No...Vatican-centered RCCs can in no way ever take the high moral ground. That is not to say that individual Roman Catholics can't; THEY certainly can.

The apology is free, and you feel better when you've done it.

Yes. WHEN it is justified.

Laura apologized because she felt bad about the WAY she attacked the kid, not because she doubted what she said.

Huh?? NOW he's a "kid"?? The "kid" was a vulgar punk, F-Bombing away in front of millions; Inciting violence; Lying and smearing millions of conservatives and gun-owners; Boasting of taking away bump-stocks, smugly promising to take away more gun-rights Reminding older people that THEY WILL DIE...as he and his Fascist ilk take over America and the World.

Do "kids" speak like David Hogg on your planet?

Herr Hogg deserves a B-Slap that flattens him on the ground, unable to come to without smelling salts and an EMT. YOU may find this "rude," but Hogg will reap what he's sown. He used that rally as his Beer Hall Putsch.

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

She was stupid to apologize. Hogg doesn't deserve an apology.

True. On both counts.

And now this punk Hogg is doubling down and instead of graciously accepting the ill-advised apology. He's now doing victory laps, insisting that MORE advertisers put even MORE pressure to drop Ingraham. This is...blackmail. (Shameless MSM and liberals applaud)

I'd like to know how it is that this little maggot has been made the Poster Child for Gun Control and why advertisers are really pulling advertising.
