Recently, far-left activist David Hogg complained about the rising costs of housing. While yes, it would have been tempting to rip him for this, and unfortunately the vast majority of right-wingers who are politically astute did so, they completely screwed up. Even a host on Newsmax started trashing Hogg. I was reading the brutal tweets and even the coverage of a host from Newsmax and I was thinking wow, you guys just completely blew a golden opportunity.
So, lets say I was the host at Newsmax instead of the host that trashed Hogg. I would have taken a completely different approach. I would have stated that I was glad to see that Mr. Hogg is starting to see the results of left-wing politics. I would have also had my staff reach out to David Hogg and offered him an opportunity to be on my show and have a civilized discussion. Who knows, maybe he would have initially disagreed with the majority of of my views, but due to the civility and backing my content with facts, maybe, just maybe it would be on Hogg's mind and weather it be the short term or a later, maybe he might change his views and realize his leftist views are not a good thing.
The right really blew it on this one. Sometimes when someone you disagree with, even if completely, when they make a statement where you can have an opportunity to hopefully open a door for them to possibly be more open to your views, you go for it.
