We Don’t Want Him Back: U.K. Citizens Launch Piers Morgan Counter-Petition
Immediately following the horrifying attack in Newtown, Conn., that left 26 people dead, including 20 children, CNN host and noted gun control advocate Piers Morgan used his position in the media to call for stricter gun laws and to berate supporters of the Second Amendment.
Morgan’s repeated and increasingly relentless calls for tougher gun laws didn’t sit well with some Americans, prompting more than 72,000 U.S. citizens to sign a petition calling for the deportation of the British journalist.
Now, more than 300 U.K. citizens have a message for the U.S.: Keep him. We don’t want him back.
“We got rid of him once and why should we have to suffer again,” reads the petition (which requires 500 signatures to prompt a reply from U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May).
“The Americans wanted him so they should put up with him. We washed our hands of him a long time ago.”
The White House has not yet responded to the calls for Morgan’s forcible expulsion.

Posted on December 26, 2012 at 4:52pmthat would be hillarious, i’ve heard that line before, but it really would be hillarious
“my neighbor has no guns, but I do, and since my neighbor hates guns and the second amentment I will respect him by not using my guns to protect him or his property”

Posted on December 27, 2012 at 12:11pmAmen! Send him to Egypt. He can amend their constitution. Then onto Saudi Arabia. He can amend their constitution. Then if he survives, which I doubt, he can replace the monkey they usually send to the moon in the Spudnik capsule. Just leave him up in space. With a big jar of TANG so he can watch himself turn orange. Fill the capsule with Bibles in every which place so he has nothing else to read and nothing else to do. That oughta fix him.

Posted on December 26, 2012 at 4:40pmMorgan is a Commie who wants to take away Americans’ Second Amendment Rights so the government can make us slaves to a Communist tyranny. Even if he used to work for Murdoch, who I suspect is a Commie too since he came out against gun rights for all Americans.

Posted on December 26, 2012 at 5:04pmMark Steyn’s show today was great! A show that SLimbaugh couldn’t bring himself to do, words that he couldn’t honestly say for being a progressive-capitalist.
I listen to SLimbaugh to laugh disparagingly at his bumpkin ignorance and anti-intellectual unletteredness. To hear Mark Steyn’s show today made all that worth the while.
Good people ought to be armed as they will, with wits and Guns and the Truth. God Bless Bitter Clingers, damn know-nothings, progressives.

Maybe he can go south to visit Hugo and become their (dis)information minister after an introduction from Penn… or he can go with Moore when he goes to Cuba for his next annual check up and become their State Broadcaster.
The failure of the Left to differentiate between their feelings and reality is astounding.

Who does he think he is? “Ive been in the country seven years…” Guess what Piers, I have lived here all my life and I love my country and the constitution. It is people from your mold Mr Morgan, whose far left secular nonsense has destroyed morality and integrity in this country. Kids on the rifle team used to bring their rifles to school and leave them in their lockers and oddly enough, NO ONE got shot, In fact, no one thought of shooting another human being because they were pithed off about something!. you might have gotten punched in the head but that was the end of it. Everyone knew where they stood and people got over themselves real quick. Go home MR Morgan. You don’t belong in America.
