Piers Morgan: First Amendment 'Shouldn't Protect Vile Bigots' Like Phil Robertson
Big Journalism ^ | 12/19/2013 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 12/20/2013 2:29:41 AM PST by markomalley

At 9:30 a.m. on December 19th, CNN's Piers Morgan tweeted that the First Amendment "shouldn't protect vile bigots" like Phil Robertson.

And while making this claim, Morgan also reiterated his position that the Second Amendment "shouldn't protect assault rifle devotees." 

Twitchy.com posted Morgan's tweet, as well as one he sent six minutes earlier in he which typed, "Phil Robertson is not a 'victim of political correctness.' He's a victim of his own repulsively racist, homophobic bigotry." 

When defenders of Robertson's right to speak his mind took to Twitter to tell Morgan how the First Amendment works, Morgan hedged himself in by tweeting, "Calm down everybody. I'm merely exercising my own 1st Amendment freedom of speech rights to say Phil Robertson's a racist bigot."

This instance is not a First Amendment issue. But Robertson is exactly the type of person that must be protected from the government.

A pie...I dunno...liberals do pies alot, PETA...etc. I like the spirit of it though, especially delivered via perp in an Uncle Sam costume, while Morganna eats at some upper crust lib/dem restaurant. A public pieing would end/start my day nicely, then posted on youtube for all to enjoy. That is, all who want the idiot to learn something about how we aren’t Britain and he can get the flock out if he doesn’t like our constitution, as can Obama and everyone else who wants to do away with it, and who thinks they are smarter than the founders were.

So let’s get this off-shore-bit-coin-pie-in-Piers’s-face thing going, eh? :)

Why are he and Martin Bashir still in our country? Buehler? Buehler?

And the “Completely Missing the Whole Point of the First Amendment” award goes to: Piers Morgan.

However what I DO understand is why Jeremy Clarkson punched this twerp in the face.

Is there video of this?

I don’t think the actual incident is on tape but here he is talking about it. It’s almost as satisfying as watching him do it.

His paid bodyguards will step aside when they see the angry mob coming, just like the bodyguards of marked mobsters did during mafia wars.

So let me get this straight, was Morgan thrown out of Britain? Obviously he doesn’t understand how the Bill of Rights works. Maybe Canada will take him in, or Australia.
