Piers Morgan Lashes Out on Twitter Against Petition Asking White House to Deport Him
Forbes ^ | 12/24/12 | Alex Kantrowitz

Posted on 12/24/2012 1:31:28 PM PST by Clint N. Suhks

Piers Morgan lashed out on Twitter today after a petition on the White House’s official website demanding his deportation blew past the 25,000 signature mark necessary to require an official response.

The petition, now over 45,000 signatures, asks the White House to deport Morgan, a CNN host, for what it calls an attack on the second amendment. Morgan, who is British, has been an outspoken advocate for gun control in the aftermath of the Newtown shootings earlier this month. The petition calls his advocacy a “hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution,” and demands that he “be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.”

In the early going, Morgan seemed to be amused by the petition, retweeting links to it and playfully urging his followers to sign. But, after the petition passed the 25,000 threshold, he returned to Twitter to bash the petition, calling it ridiculous and stating that his positions on gun control are not anti-constitutional but rather common sense. Morgan also retweeted a number of tweets supporting him.

Return to your own country, Piers. We don’t want you and your stupid talk. It suits your country more.

The ultimate irony would be someone knifing him, and asking him, as he lay weltering in his own blood. . . “Don’t you wish you had a gun today???”

But I’d settle for him unemployed and in a trailer park, somewhere. . .

It depends on whether what he said was supported or opposed by the UK Left
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
That also, BUT what I was trying to emphasize is that I don’t believe BBC or such has any announcers from say Brooklyn or the Deep US South.

Listen up Cuz! This is a fight between the citizens of THIS country. When we want any crap out of a foreigner, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out. Take your tweeter somewhere else, you twit!

Steady on, Piers. Just Yanks expressing their First Amendment rights -- as guaranteed by the Second.

He seems upset that we want to infringe his right to free speech. Nobody is suggesting he can’t speak his mind, we just want him to do it from somewhere else.

Piers Morgan...joining a long list of limeys who have blown up US media companies... Tina Brown (killed Newsweek) and Mark Thompson who came to run the NY Times (further) into the ground because he couldn’t stay in Britain after covering up a child sex scandal at the BBC. That British accent will only get you so far kids...after awhile the public figures out you are a loser, even if you do have the snooty authoritarian sound of our former school marms.

More likely the WH is writing up his appointment as gun czar.

Send the redcoat back to his home for trying to subvert our Constitution. His “professional” predecessors with all of their superior toys and tactics were beaten by our “mere colonials” more than once. We should also pass laws, when the time is right, to punish his overly influential and traitorous American anglo-phile followers for evil efforts.

The hell we are! You must live in some liberal crap hole that attracts the wrong type, I’m one and know a few others and we all came here to live as free men. Now we see our adopted country turning into the place we left because they’re too stupid to say no the socialism.

“urging his followers to sign.” This loon actually thinks he has followers? He’d better check to see if he has any viewers.

Hmmm... Obama was a British subject at birth. Was until he was in his mid twenties. Had a British passport. Intersting, no?

Like all libs, Morgan claims his right to be an idiot and say whatever he wants, but when others take him to task for it he doesn’t like it. We are supposed to bow down to all pontifications from these empty suits but not question or take them to task for what they say.

Haven’t we just all been waiting for some self-righteous, smug ‘’I’m so much more smarter then you Yanks because I have a British accent’’ to tell us about our own Constitution. Hey Piers, go f yourself up the nose with rifle cleaning cleaning equipment.
