21st century ideological politics at work

..................................................................................................................................
Piers Morgan should be deported?  In that case, how about yanking citizenship from the heads of the NRA and Larry Pratt, director of Gun Owners of America?  The latter are far more dangerous than Morgan is.  [snort]

Deport Piers Morgan? Some Americans want just that
"... Like many Brits of all political persuasions, Morgan says America's attitude toward guns is nuts. Last week, when he interviewed Larry Pratt, director of Gun Owners of America, the conversation got hot.

"You're an unbelievably stupid man, aren't you?" Morgan said at one point.

Petition to Deport Piers Morgan Gains Internet Fame
"... But perhaps the best reason the president wouldn’t deport Morgan for advocating stricter gun laws on television is that he would be guilty of the same crime.

"Are there any other countries that will have me?" Piers Morgan laughs off petition to have him deported
"... Piers took the campaign in good humour, joking on Twitter: "If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?" He received takers from as far afield as Australia, Nigeria and the Philippines.

But later he added: "I don't care about petition to deport me. I do care about poor NY firefighters murdered/injured with an assault weapon today."..."
