Mike म्हणाले...: Two thing to put side by side:

Hogg's SAT was apparently 1270, well below the standard Harvard student.

Asian students are suing Harvard for rejecting well-qualified Asian applicants for, basically, cultural reasons.

Now we see the culture that Harvard prefers.; २३/१२/१८, ७:५६ AM
Darrell म्हणाले...: It's either Harvard or the community college.; २३/१२/१८, ७:५७ AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: I'll just say it would not surprise me if Hogg were to announce that he's chosen to go to a different college.; २३/१२/१८, ७:५७ AM
Humperdink म्हणाले...: Hogg is all style and no substance. Off to Harvard he goes. An adolescent white version of Ocassional Cortex.; २३/१२/१८, ८:०३ AM

Gahrie म्हणाले...: It's a good thing Hogg wasn't Asian...; २३/१२/१८, ८:२२ AM
Michael म्हणाले...: Oh, he will go to Harvard and he will do fine notwithstanding his SAT score. Getting in is the hard part. Political Science at Harvard will be no more difficult than at Broward Community College.; २३/१२/१८, ८:२४ AM
gilbar म्हणाले...: how will he pay for it? Go Fund Me?; २३/१२/१८, ८:३३ AM
narciso म्हणाले...: Except they call it government over there.; २३/१२/१८, ८:३४ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: Point of information. The eponymous David Hogg did not “survive the shooting.” He was not in the building where the shooting occurred at the time it occurred. The true survivor is Anthony Borges, who was shot five times blocking a door to protect other students, and who has survived his wounds. But Borges correctly blames the school administration (a monitor spotted Cruz on his way into the building, knew that Cruz was not allowed on campus with a backpack, much less a backpack and duffle bag but chose not to confront him nor to notify police) and the sheriff’s office (whose cowardly actions are well-documented) and not the NRA, so you don’t see TV cameras covering his every utterance.; २३/१२/१८, ८:३५ AM
Bob Boyd म्हणाले...: "I'll just say it would not surprise me if Hogg were to announce that he's chosen to go to a different college."

How come?; २३/१२/१८, ९:०६ AM
steve uhr म्हणाले...: People hate him because he is an effective leader.; २३/१२/१८, ९:०८ AM
iowan2 म्हणाले...: Hogg is perfect for Harvard. He is already programed. The rest is fine tuning. He still has to learn about white privlege, toxic masculinity, The Patriarchy, etc. His feelz are in the right place.; २३/१२/१८, ९:१३ AM
Bob Boyd म्हणाले...: "People hate him because he is an effective leader."

Trump?; २३/१२/१८, ९:१४ AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: with that GPA and those test scores?

Oh right- they let Hogg is to groom him to be a Demcoratic Nazi.; २३/१२/१८, ९:१६ AM
DavidD म्हणाले...: Harvard must not put much stock in grammar or spelling ability, let alone logic.

Nearly every Hogg tweet has some sort of grammar or spelling mistake.; २३/१२/१८, ९:२८ AM
Greg Hlatky म्हणाले...: The next Enrico Fermi doesn't have to go to Harvard. The next Bill Kristol does.; २३/१२/१८, ९:२९ AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: How many blacks, Hispanics and Asians were told no so Hogg, a sub-par student, could get the slot?; २३/१२/१८, ९:३९ AM
iowan2 म्हणाले...: People hate him because he is an effective leader.

I haven't seen him lead anything. He has marched when and where others have told him to go and say what he was told to say. He has no followers. He is the lefts useful idiot. Created by the media, and will be destroyed by exactly the same media.; २३/१२/१८, ९:४० AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: Uhr - Hogg is an effective bully.; २३/१२/१८, ९:४० AM
Francisco D म्हणाले...: A business client (ex-Army officer) told me he grouped employees into a 2x2 matrix with HIGH/LOW on intelligence and motivation. You need to treat these employees differently in order to get their best performance.

HIGH Intelligence/High Motivation: Leave them alone and let them do their jobs.
HGH Intelligence/LOW motivation: This is where leadership comes in. Inspire them.
LOW Intelligence/LOW motivation: Provide plenty of structure, guidance and supervision.
LOW Intelligence/HIGH motivation: Put all your efforts into rooting these people out of your organization. They will run 100 mph in the WRONG direction!

Ocasio-Cortez and David Hogg strike me as LOW intelligence/HIGH motivation individuals who will be a disaster if they are given any power and responsibility.; २३/१२/१८, ९:४७ AM
Howard म्हणाले...: Francisco, that's cucks talk. Power is taken, not given. Sounds like you are jealous of those who man-up; २३/१२/१८, ९:५८ AM
AMDG म्हणाले...: Hogg didn’t let the crisis go to waste.; २३/१२/१८, १०:०६ AM
Sebastian म्हणाले...: College admissions have turned into virtue signaling. Maybe they always were.; २३/१२/१८, १०:१० AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: The left can have Hogg.

He's all yours.

He's a repulsive sniveling little opportunistic jerk who dances on top of his dead peers and classmates to enhance his left-wing resume. Deep inside every leftwinger is an opportunistic Hillary Clinton.; २३/१२/१८, १०:१५ AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: Hogg didn’t let the crisis go to waste.

thread winner.; २३/१२/१८, १०:१६ AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: I'd bet money that Hogg bullied the shooter. Considering his bully-the-Nation tour, on the backs of the dead, it would not be one bit of a surprise.

The local police totally dropped the ball in Florida that gruesome day, but we don't hear about that. We don't hear about the reforms needed on that end. No never.; २३/१२/१८, १०:१८ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: People hate him because he is an effective leader.

Well, he certainly is an effective fund raiser — for the NRA.; २३/१२/१८, १०:४७ AM
Larry J म्हणाले...: “Fernandistein said...
Everybody I know survived that horrific mass shooting that left 17 dead at a high school in Parkland, Florida, in February..”

Hogg isn’t a survivor of that shooting. He was merely present on the campus. The survivors were those poor people who were shot but didn’t die.; २३/१२/१८, १०:४८ AM
Yancey Ward म्हणाले...: You can only be an effective leader if you don't induce equal or greater reaction from your enemy. Hogg is what I would call an anti-leader- he is actually a more effective tool for the NRA than a actual effective opponent of it. He has no skills of persuasion- only preaches to the choir.; २३/१२/१८, ११:०२ AM
chickelit म्हणाले...: Recall that David Hogg is so bad for the left that even Michael Moore had to take the mic out of his hand.; २३/१२/१८, ११:१७ AM
Ken B म्हणाले...: Feel free to follow Uhr.; २३/१२/१८, ११:३३ AM
Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...: Hogg has always hit me as a not-very-bright opportunist who climbed to prominence on the bodies of his dead schoolmates. He was in a different building at the time of the shooting and might as well have been in Tallahassee as in Parkland. He will be one of the least-able white students in his class. Congratulations, David.; २३/१२/१८, ११:३९ AM
JaimeRoberto म्हणाले...: He'll get kicked out for sexual assault.; २३/१२/१८, ११:४६ AM
Fubar.N.Wass म्हणाले...: Look forward to reading about what happens to Hogg when he mouths off to Cambridge townies. They don't take no crap...; २३/१२/१८, ११:४९ AM
rcocean म्हणाले...: A SAT of 1270 is pretty damn low for an elite school, but I suppose Mr. Hogg scored very high on the verbal and not so high on the math portion.

Anyway, he'll fit right in.; २३/१२/१८, १२:३१ PM
MayBee म्हणाले...: Interesting to see how being virulently left will get you all kinds of favors in this country.; २३/१२/१८, १२:५६ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Apparently he got 1270, when the average for the bottom quarter is 1460 and for the top quarter it's 1590

If I were pleading that Harvard Asian suit, I'd use him as a poster child.; २३/१२/१८, १:५४ PM
Jim at म्हणाले...: People hate him because he is an effective leader.

Only a moron would consider a snot-nosed, 18-year-old loudmouth as any sort of leader.

In addition, just what has this great 'leader' accomplished?; २३/१२/१८, २:०० PM
MayBee म्हणाले...: Imagine being an 18 year old who leads a boycott against a television show because they criticized your SAT Score. Imagine being a person who follows that boycott.; २३/१२/१८, २:१८ PM

Wow - I'd like to see more examples of "effective leaders" in your view. I hope that your statement is 'Sarcasm'? But if not, it is the religious bigotry of the Left!; २३/१२/१८, २:३५ PM
MD Greene म्हणाले...: You got the name wrong. It's Camera Hogg.; २३/१२/१८, २:४५ PM
Gilbert Pinfold म्हणाले...: BTW, at Harvard, it’s referred to as a “concentration” not a “major”. And the “concentration” is “Government”, not “Political Science”. Like our hostess, I suspect this is all BS—applicants with his scores don’t receive early admission; if they get in at all, it would be in the April decisioin round.; २३/१२/१८, २:५८ PM
Static Ping म्हणाले...: "Immediately respond" does sound quite fishy, does it not? That's basically someone called and no one picked up because they are all out for the Christmas holiday. That said, Harvard very well knew that admitting Hogg was going to open questions and they certainly could have prepared a statement to that effect, but apparently they chose not to do so. So while I normally consider such a half-baked attempt to get a comment to be poor form, in this case this was not a surprise and it has the markings of the university trying to dodge the issue. Let's be honest: 1270 is awfully low for a Harvard admission. I suspect that is low for a student athlete and probably is near or below the floor for a desperation diversity admission. According to prepscholar.com, a 1270 is average for schools like UMass, Drexel, and Syracuse. There's nothing wrong with those schools, other than what is wrong with higher education in general, but it ain't Harvard.; २३/१२/१८, ३:०५ PM
FullMoon म्हणाले...: MayBee said... [hush][hide comment]

Imagine being an 18 year old who leads a boycott against a television show because they criticized your SAT Score. Imagine being a person who follows that boycott.

They don't follow boycotts.
They sign online petitions, make phone calls and send emails.; २३/१२/१८, ३:२५ PM
I Have Misplaced My Pants म्हणाले...: My daughter got 1420

She’s going to Arizona State

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: "Asians hardest hit."

That is, assuming... well, we'll see.; २३/१२/१८, ८:०४ PM
Rae म्हणाले...: Somebody may have punked him with a fake acceptance letter.

"I don't remember applying to Harvard, but woohoo!"; २४/१२/१८, ७:३७ AM
PB म्हणाले...: Hogg calls himself a survivor. BS. You're not a survivor if a shooting unless you've been shot.; २४/१२/१८, ८:१७ AM
Assistant Village Idiot म्हणाले...: @rcocean - I had the same thought about high verbal, low math. I have previously speculated that Obama's college career suggests the same. An affirmative action candidate with high SATs would not have settled for Occidental. Yet he later went to Columbia, then Harvard LS after they stopped testing for math and did fine.; २४/१२/१८, ८:२४ PM
Kansas Scout म्हणाले...: Hogg is a classic case of grandiose hubris. The gods are standing by.; २५/१२/१८, ७:०४ PM
