after losing yet another gun control debate.

It makes me sick!" he exclaims as he crumples up his interview notes and throws them across his desk in the direction of his guest Scottie Hughes.



Still, a snippy Piers Morgan, desperately nursing his flagging ratings on his prime time show, battles on in his bizarre nearly-possessed quest to infringe on America's right to bear arms:

“The best thing about Alex Jones is that 8 million people watched that video on YouTube.  I would suggest it’s the smartest booking we’ve ever made. The attention that interview got exploded this issue back onto the agenda for the entire week leading up to what Obama did today.”

“The President of the United States espoused exactly what I’ve been saying for the last five weeks (referring to Obama's ban on "assault" rifles).  No one can tell me we haven’t had an influence.”

Piers Morgan hates AR-15s and he'll seemingly stop at nothing to remove them from all homes in the United States.

PM is a douchebag

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

he is exactly what the pro-gun lobby needs - a mad demagogue infringing upon their rights, full of sound an fury and making them the victims of a lunatics' vendetta.

[and then]

I genuinely do not understand this guy and his fever for limiting the rights of Americans.  I personally don't care for the putz, but that aside, it mystifies me why it would matter so much to him.  And in fact, I don't really understand why non US citizens concern themselves so much with the debate.  That observation is not intended to be a stick in the eye to our British and Ozzie friends here at UM.  But the level of concern over a problem that is uniquely American is hard to understand from this side of the pond.  I understand if the Canadians and Mexicans get upset because they are directly at jeopardy in some instances.  But it seems akin to me being in an uproar over the antics of some strange MP or the stance of the British government on the Falkland Islands.  Those things are decidedly none of an American's business save curiosity alone.

Someone just needs to slap this guy.

I pinky swear your right on this one Eonwe

[skookum]

What do you expect from a man who published fake pictures (I believe he knew they were fake) of supposedly British soldiers beating up Iraqi civilians?  Even to this day he has refused to apologize and accept they are fake.  How many British and American soldiers lives did he put in risk of reprisals because of this?

Him wanting to protect people seems quite hypocritical now.

Piers Morgan's notes:

• Invite guest as straw man
  
• Preach left-wing agenda
  
• Make a scene to get clip circulated on internet

Also exactly what the debate on gun control could do without.

Sadly we got many of those type of people in power or in the media who are on a quest to take infringe up our rights. :\

I had wondered if it was just me who thinks this guy asks dumb/silly/pointless interview questions.
Watched him interview friends of ours on CNN.

If you are a guest somewhere and you don't like the rules, then leave.  Piers Morgan is in this country as a guest worker.  While he may be entitled to his opinion, he should at least become a citizen before trying to publicly influence something so basic and uniquely American as the Constitution.  As an outsider he should be respectful of his host's ways of doing things even if they are not his own.

Don't the British even dislike him? That's why we have to listen to him?

You are welcome to him as far as this Brit is concerned ., we feel your pain .

On a more serious note his one man crusade is patronizing in the extreme.

As has been stated previously in the thread, his publication of photographs falsely  depicting British soldiers  abusing Iraqi civilians ,was vomit inducing .
