    So, you think people with TV shows should not be criticized by mere citizens?

    Or is it that her comments didn't offend you so they shouldn't offend anyone else?

    Not clear on exactly why you hate the 1st amendment...

    I find it a little disturbing at how much pleasure some conservatives are taking in his issues with finding a University to attend. Other than that its just FOX news being FOX news, happy to see them take some lumps with their mud slinging. Actions have consequences.

    She is an idiot who tries to fight like a school yard bully. She was stupid enough to do it to a school yard kid who saw a bully kill his friends in his school yard and is no longer willing to get bullied. Simple as that.

    She had the right to use the first amendment to make her (stupid, imho) opinion. He was right to the do the same. Apparently she is not that big a bully when confronted. Simple as that.

    She's a dummy. Granted. The shut up and dribble garbage was a million times worse.

    This kid stands up and calls out politcians and screams and protests and that's great. Then dummy Laura says he is a whiner and people scream "how can you attack a poor high school kid?"

    You guys do realize that calling for advertisers to drop her show is a threat right?

    It is getting really pathetic what social media is doing to this country and people are happy about it. Actually happy about it.

    She gets advertisers because of the shit she spews hitting people she should not. I see no problem answering in kind, honestly.

    The fact that it is working shows that that social media is not the problem, it is the inability to spot moral issues because of the mighty dollar.

    You do realize this kid gets death threats based on the bullshit she and others like her perpetuate. I would call what he did retaliation, not a threat.

    A threat to her livelihood. I think her paycheck is an abomination however much it is but that's the threat. Shut up or we'll take your money.

    I think whatever Terry Stotts makes is 5 times too much, that isn't up to me though.

    Then there is a market for her acting. So what? Where does it cross the line?

    This kid gets death threats for doing what he is doing. People get death threats all the time. I think Donna Brazille got death threats for telling the truth not too long ago.

    interesting that you would paint her (Ingraham) as the victim in all this. And by interesting I mean weird.

    When did I say it crossed a line? I said that just as she has the right to express her opinions (and clearly she is successful enough to do it) - so does he have the right to suggest that his supporters act against her financial backers.

    I think she is an idiot and someone with a questionable moral compass - but I do not care that she does that - and likewise, I see no problems in the kid calling for boycott of her financial backers. What's wrong with that?

    Her questionable acts got her the support (because the companies were just looking at the number of people that follow her) - so for people to go against these backers unless they stop backing her - is the exact same thing. She has the right to be a successful idiot that gets money for being an ass. The so called "mob" has the right to retaliate against it. For all practical purposes, they are bullying (financially) the bully (behaviorally).

    Frankly, what you are calling a mob - is just out in the open market research. This all comes down to money. The companies see that she has a lot of followers thus is worthy investing in. The so called "mob" use modern technology to show the companies that they might be losing more than they gain by backing her.

    True, since you aren't really a customer of the Blazers. If season ticket holders lobbied the blazers in large numbers to fire Stotts, they very well might.

    You think she has a god-given right to have a TV show? If I was a hit man and someone paid me to murder you, would you be saying "the cops should back off, he has a right to earn a living"?

    Oh man! This will be a shit hole country in no time if the only people that can get paid to talk are those that pander to the left.

    Well, you'd better turn on your TV and buy whatever products are offered on Fox.

    The outrage isn't about pandering to the left. The outrage is about a grownass woman publicly bullying a teenager.
