CNN's Piers Morgan is upset over a petition at the White House web site calling for his deportation, Twitchy reported Saturday. "Ironic U.S. gun rights campaign to deport me for 'attacking 2nd Amendment rights' - is my opinion not protected under 1st Amendment rights?" he tweeted. The petition, created on Friday, cites his relentless attacks on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. "British Citizen and CNN television host Piers Morgan is engaged in a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment," the petition reads. "We demand that Mr. Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens." The petition was started by "Kurt N" of Austin, Tex. and already has over 8,900 signatures. A threshold of 25,000 signatures is required for White House action. The Blaze identified the petition creator as possibly being "Kurt Nimmo of the website infowars.com." Morgan, who is a British citizen, has repeatedly attacked the NRA and members of the gun lobby since the tragic Newtown school shootings. In a recent exchange, he berated an advocate of gun rights as "stupid." Twitchy, a web site that dubbed the CNN talk show host "Musket Morgan," said the anti-Second Amendment pundit is "beside himself over this assault on his First Amendment rights." "Evidently he still doesn’t get how these constitutional amendment thingies work," Twitchy added. "@piersmorgan you're attacking the 2nd Amendment. How are you any different from them?" one person asked. "It is truly ironic that you use your rights under the First in an effort to deny me mine under the Second," another person added. Adding insult to injury, Twitchy said that some in the U.K. are "not particularly eager to get him back across the pond." "Please don't deport Piers Morgan. We don't want that slimy git back," tweeted "Fran." "@piersmorgan is there a petition we can sign to keep you in America away from us?" another person asked. "Please keep him in the US," added "Jay Nathan." On Friday, Morgan called the NRA agenda "murderous" and appeared to encourage violence against the pro-Second Amendment group. “This is your moment, America: The #NRA has 4 million members, your population is 311 million. Don’t stand for this murderous c**p any more,” he tweeted.

Piers Morgan resorts to name calling after losing Gun Control debate !!!
Most likely Kurt Nimmo, the Alex Jones Infowars reporter.
Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto Saturday night joined in the chorus of American voices suggesting that British-born CNN host Piers Morgan could legally be deported from this country for his televised attacks on the Second Amendment, and pointed out the legal precedent that leaves Morgan vulnerable to deportation. “Your opinion is protected, your presence in the U.S. is not. See Kleindienst v. Mandel (1972),” Taranto replied to Morgan. Taranto linked to transcripts from a 1972 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the U.S. Attorney General’s refusal to allow a foreign journalist into the United States did not violate the First Amendment. The case resulted from Nixon administration attorney general Richard Kleindienst’s refusal to grant a temporary nonimmigrant visa to Marxist Belgian journalist Ernest Mandel. Taranto’s tweet was praised by Twitter users who would like to send Morgan back to his native land. “I knew there was a reason I’ve liked you for years,” tweeter Lee Dodson said to Taranto. “Excellent shot across this silly Brit’s bow. Well done.” Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/12/23/wall-street-journal-columnist-explains-how-to-deport-piers-morgan/#ixzz2FsgYgYqX
Boot his ass out. He would be happier living where people have fewer freedoms,anyhow.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
As long as he keeps his freedoms and money he doesn't care what happens to everybody else, don't you just love the "faux empathy" Leftards exude???
“We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the ammunition box.”
