1. You know you're making an impact when you get that much negative attention.

It's like when you throw rocks into a pig pen: The ones that squeal are the ones you hit.

2. Good. The more they focus their hatred on David, the stronger he becomes in the eyes of the movement

that he speaks for. Young, attractive, articulate and influential (see how quickly David Hogg's followers were able to mount an effective counter-attack against Laura Ingraham), David Hogg represents everything they fear in the world -- a power for change.

If we were living in the 1770s, Thomas Jefferson would be getting the same treatment by the ancestors of these yo-yos.

3. My RW brother says he can't stand the kid

Which is odd coming from him, a very nurturing dad and rescuer of ailing dogs.

But he claims David "steps over the bodies of dead friends to promote himself."

The only explanation for such virulent hatred for a kid who has suffered so much yet done so much good is the RW group think practised by all who tune in to Rush and Fox News.

4. Yeah, your brother is listening closely to his....sources...a bit ago I read that David is stepping

over the GRAVES of seventeen dead friends - see that little change-up there - also, HUCKFOGG was NOT EVEN AT SCHOOL that day (he was) and also he wants to TAKE AWAY EVERYBODY’S GUNS, which he does not.

Also, Soros, Mediaite (or something) is paying him, and such like that!!

Shit be cray, Jane!

I had no idea he was quoting a RW meme, although those other conspiracy theories I've heard, along with the one claiming Emma bullied the shooter and thus caused the massacre.

Jeez, the GOPERS are proving themselves to be zombies - brainless, void of compassion, and chanting any RW phrase Fox tells them.

8. Yeah, its pretty astounding - and all based on grade-A lies...I have to think theres a teeny

bit of envy going on as well - the good news, though, is that The Kids have been getting hammered like this from the git-go, and they just stay cool and deal with it (unlike you and I, perhaps?!?) -

Hang tough, Jane, we’re in rough waters, but The Kids are brilliant and buoyant!!

These kids will not. Additionally, my response would be if we done something about this problem a decade ago, those bodies wouldn't BE THERE to be stepped over in the first fucking place.

They'd rather blame folks saying 'hey, look there's a problem over here.'

These are mentally ill vermin that are stalking and harassing him.

Hopefully he gets some security staff around him soon.

I believe I heard at least one was taken out of activist work by his parents because of it.

How vile to threaten to kill minors who survived a massacre that slaughtered their friends!

They just can't stop with the hate and harassment. It's fucking sickening.
