(CNN) - David Hogg has become a strong voice among survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The attention has given him a powerful platform -- but it has also made him the subject of smear campaigns and demonstrably false conspiracy theories.

Either he has been "coached" by his father, a former FBI agent; or he is a "pawn" for anti-gun campaigners; or, the most far-fetched, he is not a victim but a "crisis actor," paid to travel to disaster sites to argue against stricter gun laws.

"I'm not a crisis actor," Hogg told CNN's Anderson Cooper on "AC360" Tuesday. "I'm someone who had to witness this and live through this and I continue to be having to do that."

3. Of course, you mean the pedophile basement in the building without a basement.

Talk about fake news. Just saying.

4. Saw a meme that I can't re-locate:

The Republicans have a hard time believing that intelligent, articulate, and motivated kids exist. Because they're used to hanging around the morons that would vote for Trump.


Another one:

The people that say 13 - 14 year old girls are mature enough to date Roy Moore are telling us 17 - 18 year olds are too immature to say anything about gun violence after living through a mass shooting.

5. Especially Stupid, Because. . .

. . .they want to preserve the right of an 18 year old to buy such a weapon, and would gladly extend that right to a 17 year old. Yet, if you are against people having access to such hardware, you are too immature to have that opinion. That's numbingly stupid.

7. Incredible, isn't it?

You would have to have a Master's Degree in being an idiot to even repeat that to someone with a straight face, let alone come up with it.

6. WTF is a crisis actor?

This is, seriously, the dumbest goddamn thing I have ever heard. And I've heard some pretty whacked-out shit coming from Republicans, particularly lately. But this takes the cake.

8. Someone paid by Soros?

Crisis Actors are Left Wing Anarchists, ANTIFA card holders, who emerge whenever there's a tragedy to use it to smear the Flag and all the Good, True Americans, recognizable as Honest Evangelical Right Winger Oafkeeping Suburban or Rural Gun Owners. (On Edit - forgot to add "Loyal Fox-Watching&quot

See, we have to remember that Citi-folks and Educated Elites aren't True Americans, nor are those criminally Lazy Poor folks who are always complaining about not being able to get handouts from the hardworking True Americans. True Americans don't question The White Male Authority, and gladly give up their kids in service of the Machine that will, in return, grant them the Glory of Heaven.



BTW, Mr. Soros - where's my $1000 checks and travel/perdiem for participating in the last couple Women's marches? I submitted both my W-4 forms and the vouchers.
Your accounting firm is slacking...

9. Don't you need a SAG card for that?

Or is this under the Actor's Equity union, given that the shootings are staged productions?
