I know it won't work, but nonetheless funny to shove in their faces.

[FrancisMarion]

Mr. Morgan is allowed the right to be an idiot.

[impaleddead]

Foreign agent with an agenda to undermine the Bill of Rights.

Mr. Morgan is allowed the right to be an idiot.


Not when the idiot is hell-bent on infringing on my rights. He ought to go back to Britain and live gun-free!

LOL, already up to 700 signatures.

What are the reasons a visa can be revoked? can he be labelled a domestic terrorist?

#DeportPiersMorgan would definitely raise some eyebrows! :D

I agree with the petition, the right to free speech sucks!

It only sucks when they're gay or pro-choice.

I find it hilarious... hopefully it will make some waves.

[sailingaway]

Not for expressing his views regardless of how baseless and manipulative they might be.

[matt0611]

I don't really support him being deported, but I'm signing it just for the hell of it because I know nothing will come of it anyway.

[Confederate]

I would disagree with someone's sexual deviant or pro-murdering-unborn-children views, but I wouldn't petition to have them deported for them.

[Noob]

The NDDA bill makes propaganda legal now.

Same here. On that same coin I would also petition for those to be able to petition whatever they wanted to. (I'm surprised the universe did not collapse within itself after typing a sentence like that) The idea of deporting Piers Morgan gives me a little chuckle but I won't be signing the petition.

[green73]

This just went up on Drudge finally.

[KingRobbStark]

Instead of deporting him, we should import him a brain.

I don't agree with the petition.

However, I want him to get off the air and leave my damn country!

[sailingaway]

I have to come out opposed to rendition without trial even against him, I'm afraid. Effective gif, though!

[torchbearer]

He's a british subject, living in this country, and wants gun control.
solution- move back to britain.

that does sound like the easiest way for him to achieve his goal.

[Dr.3D]

Why doesn't the president lead by example? All he has to do is declare his immediate surroundings a "gun free zone" and tell his secret service people to disarm.

[No Free Beer]

He's a british subject, living in this country, and wants gun control.
solution- move back to britain.

I completely agree.

But the truth is, Britain has the highest crime in all of Europe. Even higher than the US.

Another angle is that he will always have bodyguards with him, so who is he to tell u or me to give up our guns?

Asshat.

I don't agree with a petition, but seeing a Brit (Redcoat) go on our television, trying to persuade Americans to give up their guns pisses me right off.

GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!

[BuddyRey]

I don't want to violate the NAP by deporting him, but it would be nice if he'd do like Romney wanted the illegal immigrants to do and just "self-deport." But of course, he's not going to, because he likes the money and the opportunities he can find in America, but without respecting the ideological underpinnings that make that all possible.

And you know what else I wonder? How did a guy with almost no notable broadcast experience (besides judging some lame TV talent show) suddenly ascend to a primetime slot on one of the most-watched news networks in the world? Especially replacing Larry King, who, even though I never watched his show, at least comported himself like a real journalist/interviewer and didn't just blather about his own opinions all the time.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

He's saying a bunch of outrageous garbage in a desperate attempt to boost his ratings. The best thing to do is ignore him.

[Britannia]

I would like to take this opportunity to issue a heartfelt plea for you not to continue with your efforts to deport Piers Morgan back to Great Britain. Quite frankly we don't want him here any more than you want him over there - dreadful man.

[Danke]

What is with the USA fascination with British people especially the media? They had a lot of good comedy shows in the past like Fools and Horses,Monty Python,Alo Alo but I haven't seen anything TV worthy come out of there in a long time.

[kathy88]

How about a compromise? Canada?And THAT level headed way of handling the most difficult of situations is reason #6583 why Danke should be a mod. LOL.

[John F Kennedy III]

He's a british subject, living in this country, and wants gun control.
solution- move back to britain.

Apparently that's so simple he has yet to think of it. He'd need one of those extendable ladders to keep it from going over his head.

[Rudeman]

He should go back to judging talent shows instead of hosting a commentary show that few watch.

[Confederate]

How about a compromise? Canada?

NO!

[Confederate]

Someone should start a White House petition.

[John of Des Moines]

Send the Redcoat to Jamaica.

[torchbearer]

Send the Redcoat to Jamaica. that would be too good for him. unless you send him to a coke base.

[satchelmcqueen]

hmmm seems he needs to go home if he doesnt like our guns. id like to have seen him call venture a stupid man like he did this guy. i thought ventura was going to snap on him a few months back. piers is a douche.

[mikey]

Send him to North Korea. I'm sure he will enjoy himself there and never bother anyone again.

[Danke]

NO!

O.K. Mexico then. Though I don't think they are in the British Commonwealth...

[James Madison]

that would be too good for him. unless you send him to a coke base.

He can get a job picking coffee beans.

[Neil Desmond]

I think it's hillarious that it's being signed like hot cakes (uh...whatever :p), but I didn't sign because I believe in freedom of speech just as much as I believe in right to keep and bear arms. Personally, I say let's allow this British douchebag to remain here so we can put him on display like a captured Bigfoot specimen, to serve as a reminder to America why we have the 2nd amendment.

I think lolz should over ride that in this case. It really wouldn't lead to his deportation anyway.

[Neil Desmond]

At the rate it's going right now it seems like it'll hit the 25k threshold before the end of today & go well over 250k by the deadline.


I think lolz should over ride that in this case. It really wouldn't lead to his deportation anyway.
If that's the case, then I think it begs the question: what is the real agenda of the creator of this petition?

[Muwahid]

this is a petition I can get behind!

I usually never care what the pundits say, so desensitized. But I raged so hard watching Piers morgan's interviews, like literally wanted to just call up CNN and demand him be fired. Such arrogant idiocy. I've never hated a pundit more. Makes Bill O'reilly look like a saint.

[KCIndy]

LOL! Yeah, he does - and that really takes some doing!

[Jeremy]

Lol now it will certainly get attention

[Quark]

If you read UK sites, they [comments] have something to the effect of "We don't want him back, but he's right on this." Can anybody explain to me why Americans (or at least some) are the only people in the first world (as far as I know) still interested in negative liberty and less government? I can't comprehend how people in these other countries deal with only "positive" liberty and strong centralized states with very much power who can easily alter the constraints of the environment to minimize such positive liberty. I'd go insane if the U.S was as bad at giving people independence as some of these other nations, and under Obama it seems to be heading that way. Yet oddly these people feel smugly secure in their position as if we're backwards in our fight for our liberties and we're not entitled to our natural born rights. The only explanation I can have is that they don't share the same philosophy that we have natural born rights, which is quite sad.

[Pericles]

Why the hell are we awash in these limey, statist cocksuckers anyways?

Currently, the UK sucks so bad even they can't stand it. They screw up somewhere so bad that not even they can stand to live there, and then they move on to screw up somewhere else. Bast case I have ever seen for restricting immigration.

Morgan seemed unfazed — and even amused — by the movement.

I'm sure he is; he's probably thinking something like thism, for all the publicity he's getting now: "This is plum pudding splendid! My bloody ratings are gonna jolly well shoot through the roof!" (sorry I can't do a better British accent).

[compromise]

The British don't seem to want him either.

Should I have ended it with "...they are!" ?

[TheTexan]

The only explanation I can have is that they don't share the same philosophy that we have natural born rights, which is quite sad.

It's because Statism has become a religion. There is no rationality left. Just worship of the State.

The State has become infallible. Any such complaints people may have, any grievances, or ill occurrences, are instantly attributed to not enough State. They willingly subjugate themselves in order to grant the State more Control.

Willing slaves. The entire. Fucking. World.

Then we can't stop and wait for them. We'll have to be revolutionaries I say. It was even worse for the founders because it was all new to them, but we know that it can happen and it did work. So it's much easier for us as we know that we'll be rewarded in the end! :) I'm truly optimistic. I believe that the only reason these other states(countries) enjoy the freedom they do is because they have policeman America protecting them. If America were to fall or weaken, I wonder just how well they'd do taking care of themselves and protecting themselves from tyranny (Europe, for example, has a horrible record with this.) Americans will remember though, and we'll resurface, hopefully again as a free nation. Of course, that is if we don't take back our nation now, and before things get worse.

[Neil Desmond]

Maybe we can trade him for someone else (like they do in sports), such as for someone like this guy:

He didn't just try to persuade Americans to ban the 2nd amendment, he viciously attacked Larry Pratt on national television. F'k him. He's a detriment. If he doesn't like our Constitution, he needs to go back from whence he came.

The petition is funny and symbolic.

I don't see this as a violation of freedom of speech. That would mean censoring him and/or throwing him behind bars. This is the free market at work. It's public pressure. It's letting his employer know (and hopefully, eventually the show's advertizers) that his brand of speech is not wanted nor agreed with by Americans who stand by the Bill of Rights.

[VBRonPaulFan]

hahahaha, someone started a petition to keep him here!

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/keep-piers-morgan-usa/cbpHr9R2

here is the text so you don't have to click through:


We want to keep Piers Morgan in the USA.

There are two very good reasons for this. Firstly, the first amendment.

Second and the more important point. No one in the UK wants him back.

Actually there is a third. It will be hilarious to see how loads of angry Americans react.


lmao at the second point!

[KCIndy]

Heh heh heh..... Total signers are over 72,100 as I write this, making it (as far as I can tell) the fourth most popular White House petition.

[sailingaway]

Still wouldn't deport someone because of their obnoxious opinions but do think it is funny the Brits have a counter petition going to make sure the Home Secretary does NOT take him back:


We got rid of him once and why should we have to suffer again. The Americans wanted him so they should put up with him. We washed our hands of him a long time ago.


To:
Theresa May, Home Secretary
Stop Piers Morgan from being deported back to the UK from America
Sincerely,
[Your name]

A petition calling for TV host Piers Morgan to be deported from the US following his outspoken comments on gun control has attracted more than 73,000 signatures.
...
Following the interview, a petition was posted on the White House website claiming that Morgan, 47, "is engaged in a hostile attack against the US Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment".

"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 said.
...
Morgan, 47, a former newspaper editor in London, shot back at his critics on Twitter. He repeated his past calls for the United States to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and conduct background checks on all gun purchases.

"I don't care about a petition to deport me.
...
Christa Robinson, a CNN spokeswoman, said the network had no immediate comment on the petition.

Publicist Howard Bragman, vice chairman of Reputation.com, said the controversy will get Morgan attention that may translate into higher ratings and wouldn't harm his reputation.

"A lot of it comes from his being British, he's seen the differences between the U.S. and UK, he's passionate and authentic in taking this issue on, and it's probably only going to help him attract more people to his show," Bragman, told Reuters.
...
Morgan joked on Twitter: "If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?"
