    Good to see this back up and running for kids sake (other other living beings!  :smile:  )
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Another Fox idiot putting foot in mouth , if she was part of my family she would not be welcome to easter diner or any diner ever again screw you ugly human ....
    Article from the NYT on this issue. 

    https://www.google.ca/amp/s/mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/business/media/laura-ingraham-david-hogg.amp.html

    It describes Ingraham as “apologizing under pressure”, which is an interesting turn of phrase. Seems she now “regrets” her comments. Easy to regret them when your funding is pulled.

    When you have to resort to personal attacks on children that have been through this, it means you don’t have a legitimate counter-argument and you know you’re on the losing side of this debate.

    I agree.

    It's odious that Ingraham says that she apologized "in the spirit of the Holy Week". What kind of Christian is she to have said those things in the first place? It seems to me that if you ask yourself "when exactly is the right time to make fun of a teen who was the victim of a mass shooting for his college acceptance stats?", you should be able to answer "never".

    This has been the repube party’s playbook since Bush I when they realized they couldn’t win in the arena of ideas, that the conservative philosophy of trickle down, discrimination and state sanctioned religion doesn’t appeal to the majority, but to name a few. Thank Steve Atwater, Willy Horton, Dukakis in a tank, swift boating of Kerry after the sliming of McCain, etc, etc. Its  all they have, to appeal to the most debased amongst us because their policies don’t stand the test of time as a regression of society.

    It’s also a symptom of a large segment of the population putting “owning libs” above everything else.

    Why exactly was Miley Cyrus there? 
    I guess to sing & show support why is she not allowed? 
    But her? She's probably just using it to further her career.

    It has become the dominant ideological pursuit of the right.  Opposition to real and perceived liberalism has eclipsed every other issue for most of the Republican and Libertarian parties.
    They don't stand for anything as much as they stand against liberals, and that's just sad.

    I think there were many celebrities at the rallies, and maybe the same could be said for all of them. Is there any reason in particular you would single her out?

    Can someone please explain why an adult would 'attack' the Parkland survivors? I/we can't even imagine what these kids went through. It does not matter to me if the student was caught in the crossfire, sitting in the next classroom, or in the bathroom down the hall when this horrific event took place. Their lives are forever changed.
    Idiots, leave these kids alone. Let them grieve, protest, mobilize, etc in their own way.
    Shame on you Ted Nugent.

    The only thing missing from what he said is the item left unspoken: "Please continue to support me!"

    (The true motivation behind such a meaningless apology)

    “I was not attempting to impugne the youth...”.

    Didn’t know much about him until recently. Found this article from 2015. Big Trump supporter and birther. 

    I’m actually more surprised now at the apology than the original remarks (note the ironic headline)

    Agreed. They have the power and support, just need to channel it in the right direction.

    Ted Nugent is either the worlds most brilliant anti-gun NRA infiltrator (by making the NRA look so ridiculous he is spoiling their image) or he's the world's biggest idiot.  Not calling him names.  Just throwing a few options out there.  
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.
