I would be happy if someone would simply kick his limey ass, preferably on his TV show.
Instead of petitioning for the deportation of this British blowhard, we can be more effective by boycotting his show and the whole CNN lineup. (I suspect a lot of us already have pretty much done so.)
Even as a non-citizen, he has a right to say pretty much any nonsense he wishes over the airwaves, provided he doesn't directly advocate killing or violence or the immediate overthrow of the government.
But let's check that he isn't voting in our elections nor making political contributions in the United States, both of which he is barred from doing by law.
Lookit, I know petitions don't mean a damm legally. Furthermore, I don't care if the 2nd amendment applies to him or not.
But let me say this.....any petition with thousands of names including a media "celebrity" name inspiring the petition will actually get a modicum of attention....from the internet media, from the conservative media....from many in CNN's audience....and from the Brit Twit himself.
So I'm going to have some fun by signing my name and I'm not going to twist myself into a pretzel thinking of every academic reason not to sign.
We deserve to have some lightness once in a while....and poking our collective fingers at that lightweight prig of a socialist talk host is going to make my day.

Traitor.
Nobody watches his show anyway. If CNN gets enough complaints, they might tell him to shut up. Considering his borderline criminal past, they can’t be too proud of him anyway.
It’s just a public condemnation.
Nothing will come of it except everyone’s right
to exercise free speech in a public forum against a visitor who publicly incited discourse to the laws of the land they were visiting.
Two people from UK visiting the US were deported this year for posting on twitter they were going to destroy the US. Any of us did the same police would investigate the seriousness of the threat and make charges if appropriate .
All visitors to the US are given the same protection as any citizen.
Rights given to citizens aren’t necessarily given
to any visitor.
Idiot. Get out of my way, so I can save the country.
Oh lordy, we're doomed.
Grandiose much?
Gosh, I dunno . . . I’m not accustomed to being called a “traitor” for taking an originalist tack on the Constitution. These are troubled times, I agree.
The white house probably already knows who i am, but I am not going to help them along.
A loyal British subject gaining a position of influence in this nation and calling for the disarming of American citizens would not have been smiled upon by the Founders. The quaint notion of everyone having the same rights as American citizens, even unto calling for the end of those rights, had no currency at the time. He’d have been run out of the country at a minimum, as happened to so many Tories at the time.
I’m not entirely sure that is true, either, because the Founders expected the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to apply to Tories as well. I’m interested, if you have some citations to the Federalist Papers or other sources, to continue.
I am talking about what actually occurred. Tories were routed out, run off or if they didn’t run they were often killed, property seized and auctioned to pay for the war effort. You read high minded niceties extended to all into the Constitution in the face of the reality that gave birth to it. even the subjects with whom they had just fought a bloody war in order to separate themselves, to them you’d extend every right within a nation they still wanted to subdue, right up to the War Of 1812.
You couldn’t possibly be more wrong. This sort of thing is another reason I’ve always thought you foreign. Your use of the language gets wackier and wackier as you anger, and you just don’t get things than an actual American would get.
Then haul your ass to NW suburban Chicago. I'll give you a damn tour. I'll even let you meet the rest of my conservative friends, who live in this vastly Republican area. I'll even show you what I do for a living.
Otherwise, you can shove it.
Chicago? That explains it.
