Piers Morgan Calls Pro-Gun Advocate 'Unbelievably Stupid,' 'Dangerous': 'You Shame Your Country'
Newsbusters ^ | 19 Dec 2012 | Noel Sheppard

CNN's Piers Morgan has been on a rabid anti-gun rant since July's Aurora, Colorado, shootings that has gotten even more venomous after Friday's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

On Tuesday, he rudely and disgracefully tore into guest Larry Pratt, the Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, calling him "an unbelievably stupid man" who's "dangerous," concluding the interview by saying, "You shame your country" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Why is this ignorant arrogant Brit on CNN? I take consolation that his audience is primarily stuck-at-the-airport travelers.

They’re a global news service. Whatever that’s worth.

come now you wouldnt condemn this emigre to a life of British dentistry, would you? Where is your compassion?

Imagine, living in a country where the people trust themselves enough to all have the right to bear arms

I heard Larry on a local show last night, and he couldn't stop laughing about it. Says he's come to the conclusion that he loves Piers and will go on his show anytime.

He said that meltdown was the best thing that could have happened to us.

Someone should tell Peeers that he is free to leave the USA whenever he wants. He should enjoy Mexico and its “chain American gun owners” policy

Take a long walk off a short one.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

Yeah, we should strive to be more like England where everyone has the right to STFU and obey.

He’s about to have to face charges in the British press wiretapping/cell phone hacking scandal. He will probably be getting deported/extradited shortly, and he’s not happy about it.

What he’s trying to do is soothe the jittery CNN management and justify his continued employment because his ratings blow and nobody in the UK will employ him.

I intend to protect my family, Piers, if that really is your name....

Piers Morgan is a criminal who tapped peoples phones and invaded their privacy while working for Murdochs now defunct NOTW. He’s an assh#le of the first order and not even an American so what the hell does he care about the Constitution?
Absolutely nothing!

You got to laugh at these MSM freaks, who don't go anywhere without being armed or having armed body guards around them Not to mention their studios are protected by armed guards. These hypocrites have the gall to scoff at those who say schools should be protected by armed guards, not stupid signs that say “GUN FREE ZONE”.

Serious question for the whole board: how many of you still have cable or paid satellite? You do realize that even if you block CNN/MSNBC/etc you’re helping to pay the salaries of these people, right? And before anyone mentions foxnews, please consider that (1) rupert murdoch is contemptuous of our right to be armed and (2) it really isn’t that different from the others in that none of them put out news...they all produce processed news product, with a little partisan political seasoning. Seriously, cable and broadcast “McNews” is to news as cheeswiz is to cheese.
