| Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for British CNN host Piers Morgan to be deported from the U.S. over his gun control views. Morgan has taken an aggressive stand for tighter U.S. gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting. Last week, he called a gun advocate appearing on his “Piers Morgan Tonight” show an “unbelievably stupid man.” Now, gun rights activists are fighting back. A petition created Dec. 21 on the White House e-petition website by a user in Texas accuses Morgan of engaging in a “hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution”

As bad as Morgan is -- and that´s really bad -- he pales in comparison to anyone at MSNBC.

I sometimes think that liberals come to their warped views only to satisfy their innate narcissism and ego. Politicians like Obama and celebrities like Morgan the ultimate examples. Truth, common sense, and morality cannot feed their need for attention and self righteousness. The same is true for the people that believe them.

sorry but this just feeds his ego. for anyone who figured Morgan would have some kind of epiphany moment, you´re dead wrong. if anything, it will make him more virulent. if he loses viewers and his contract isn´t renewed, perhaps he´ll ´´self deport´´. after all, isn´t that what politicians tell us will happen to unemployed illegals???

It won´t go anywhere but at least someone is speaking up and fighting back for once!! I am so tired of our side just taking a beating at every turn. We started to fight back with the TEA Parties, but we quickly fell back to our old bad habits and let the TPs devolve into irrelevancy. Our biggest problem is we are not motivated to fight even though we should be. And we always expect others to fight our battles for us. We are a lazy, complacent bunch most of the time.

So, in all of our 50 states, CNN can´t find one person capable of doing interviews? We have to use a foreigner? Bill Shatner does a good interview, I nominate him to replace Morgan. Any other nominations?

Or an arrogant, rude, condescending left-wing British gutter-snipe who got fired for ginning up stories, dumpster-diving for trash on people and ultimately tossed into the gutter only to be picked up by a loser "news" network that barely moves the needle on the ratings scale! This is how you know you´ve reached rock bottom Piers.

Nice how the "journalists" don´t actually print the full (and very short) text of the petition. It would take one quick paragraph, but then they couldn´t put their own spin on it.
No, deportation for this git will never happen, but it´s nicely worded and it gets a good point across. "Mind Your Own Business, Brit!"

I beg to differ. It makes no sense to defend the Second Amendment by dishonoring the First. Morgan is as entitled to speak his views as the rest of us.

Offsetting all the good that Britain has done in the world was their invention and promotion of appeasement. They and their evil policy are responsible for WW2 as we know it.
Learning nothing from a war that would have finished them except for the intervention of America and the German attack on Russia, the very same cretinous weasels spouting the very same cancerous "truths" emerged from safety postwar and went on to continue to corrupt Britain, but even worse they successfully exported this curse to America.
The Democrat Party is the party of appeasement.
Luckily no one watches CNN, otherwise this poisonous twerp and his rotted theories would be a real threat to our future.
He should still be deported. Send him back to the socialist sewer that his kind have made of Europe.

Piers is the type of Englishman who plays a game of pool with some Russians after WWII with the British jet engine as the prize. Of course the idiot loses, but then actually ships the engine to Russia who promptly installs it into the MIG which shoots down American pilots over Korea. These fools previously allowed Russians to tour the engine factory. Stalin thought it was a trap, but sent some ´visitors´ with sticky rubber soled shoes. They analyzed the filings so were ready with the right alloys when they open the gift of the jet engine.
The term ´twit´ hardly begins to describe the smug stupidity of people like Morgan.

If you want to sign that petition (and several other pro-gun ones), you must register yourself at www.whitehouse.gov It is worth it. There is also a petition there to stop anti-gun legislation and to have David Gregory arrested for having a 30-round magazine in DC.
p.s. We created a petition earlier today supporting the US Second Amendment, and you can create a petition, too!

CNN sucks so bad it struggles to keep up with MSNBC. Now more people sign a petition to deport Morgan than actually watch his show comes along. CNN has to start thinking about its future as a company when when more people want to kick CNN´s employees out of the country than actually watch CNN. Maybe, just maybe, CNN will get a clue and figure out is crummy ratings are due to socialist bias media personalities and that isn´t going to change as long as CNN has socialist bias media types on its programs.

The only way he will leave the USA is if he wants to leave. The Obama crew will never deport him, even if he was an illegal alien, until after he would be convicted of committing some sort of violent serious felony, that´s part of Obama´s administrative amnesty policy that is designed to protect most illegal aliens from being arrested and deported. Besides, this Piers Morgan is a big time liberal, not only would Obama not deport Morgan, but he would allow hundreds of additional Morgans into the country and on American TV to spread the liberal agenda. The question that needs to be asked is why is Morgan employed by CNN in the USA when there are a lot of American TV personalities who could do a much better job?

For most bigwig Democrats in Washington, D.C., the last 48 hours has delivered news of the worst kind — a flood of new information that has washed away any lingering doubts about where President Obama and his party stand on civil liberties, full stop. Glenn Greenwald’s exposure of the NSA’s massive domestic spy program has revealed the entire caste of current Democratic leaders as a gang of civil liberty opportunists, whose true passion, it seems, was in trolling George W. Bush for eight years on matters of national security. “Everyone should just calm down,” Senator Harry Reid said yesterday, inhaling slowly.

President Obama’s speech at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin today was a stage director’s nightmare. The president was sweating profusely – you could see the outlines of his undershirt. There were ghostly reflections off the protective glass in front of him. And instead of heaving throngs of admirers, Obama addressed 6,000 or so invited guests. And something was wrong with TOTUS! Obama was peering down at his script instead of using his trusty teleprompter. We’re not accustomed anymore to seeing our leaders glance toward the lectern to read, so the president came off looking as if he couldn’t remember

MSNBC host and Obama sycophant Chris Matthews blamed the sun for spoiling the president’s speech in Berlin today. “I think a lot of the problem he had today was the late afternoon sun in Berlin ruined his use of the teleprompter and so his usual dramatic windup was ruined,” Matthews said immediately after the speech. “I think he was really struggling with the text there.” Speaking behind a glass bulletproof shield, Obama appeared to be using the text of the speech rather than reading off of teleprompters.

ARDMORE, Pa. — Phil Mickelson is in a familiar position once again at the U.S. Open — to either finally close out a win in a tournament he truly cherishes or to suffer yet another maddening close call. Mickelson, a four-time major champion but the only player to finish runner-up five times in the U.S. Open, shot even-par 70 Saturday in the third round of the U.S. Open at unyielding Merion Golf Club and has a one-shot lead heading into Sunday´s final round.

Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said that the three- to four-page handwritten note was found on John Zawahri´s body (Snip)Zawahri apparently built his own .223-caliber assault rifle, using it to shoot his father and brother before he set fire to their family home, officials said earlier Thursday.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”
