I have no desire to put my name on yet another white house list. Agree with the effort though.
Absurd. We should not deport someone for “speech” unless it’s violent speech. Having a different ideology isn’t a crime. This mocks the 1st amendment.
If CNN had any sense, they would dump him. Wait, they don’t have any sense.
I understand the sentiment behind this petition but I won’t sign it.
That segment was dreadful and shameful, but he has the right to his opinion.
The best thing is just not to watch, which most people don’t do anyway. I venture to guess that only a small number even know who he is.
I remember many, many, years ago when the Daily Mirror circulation was six million daily, a statement about it's technique and style. It was to the effect that many of the revered columnists did not "believe half of what they wrote". It was further stated that the object was to have readers "choke with rage over their breakfast as they read these columnists".
Morgan will have a shrewed eye on the figures, relating to viewership of his CNN program. He cares not for any tragedy and is simply trying to milk it for all it is worth.
It is not for me to say whether he should be deported though, not being a citizen. What I do say is that the man fits the description of being a subversive. That being someone who tries to change the laws and the system that creates those laws. A rough definition I will concede.
I think he likes to "push buttons".
The fascist snake was tossed out of the journalist business in Britian for knowingly pushing fake photos of soldiers abusing Iraqis as “news.”
CNN picks up and employs the Brit’s journalistic trash. He fits right in with the little commie diversity, Soledad O’Brien.
Isn’t there some child abuse perverts the BBC wants to get rid of? CNN is waiting in the wings for any and all manipulative, dark and ignorant losers.
These petitions are the equivalent of giving a child a toy steering wheel in a car so they can pretend to be driving it just like the big people do.
Brilliant idea by the Obama Administration to get people to waste their time.
Signed and bumped.
Piers was the wrong choice to host that show. I laugh out loud when that limey starts talking about the 2nd Amendment.
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.
