Anti-Piers Morgan petition
tops 65K signers

CNN anchor Piers Morgan isn’t benefiting from much Christmas cheer, at least according to one measure: The number of signers on a petition urging the White House to deport Morgan has skyrocketed by late Tuesday afternoon to nearly 66,000 names. The petition, created last week, had 65,887 supporters around 5 P.M. Tuesday and is posted on the White House’s official petition site. It slams Morgan for comments he has made regarding gun control in the wake of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 20 children and six adults.

Comments:
His speech is protected by Constitution he despises

Why the hail do we need foreign TV interviewers, sportcasters, etc anyway? Difficult to understand, anti-American and usually severely biased. Give us more of those Fox News blondes......

Why should a LimeyRickey like Piers Jackwad have any constitutional protections, i.e. free speech? He´s NOT a citizen and therefore is not afforded the luxury of constitutional protections! Back to merry ol´ England with him.

Morgan is and always has been a raging nut case, seemingly enthralled with the percieved "perfection" of the European way, in spite of evidence that glares in the "otherwise" light. He is a liberal hack who has mananged to show the American public his forked tail - so, Good, if you don´t like what the brand is offering, turn it off- That´s how I vote - I refuse tow watch CNN- even at the DR. office (I scoff and ridicule CNN loudly when it´s on there). I don´t subscribe to liberal news papers or watch any major networks that slander my country - and I try to never shop at places that support them.

His speech may be protected. (recall that rights COME from the Almighty, our Constitution simply recognizes what was already there). So, no, we can´t throw him in jail for offensive speech. Unlike Britain.
But his presence in the USA is *NOT* protected. He could be frogmarched to the docks and put on a rowboat this very afternoon and tough noogies at that.
Kick the bum out. Today.

Morgan was the editor at Daily Mirror (newspaper in England) and was fired for publishing pictures of British soldiers torturing iraqi prisoners that were fake.

So are the 65000+ signers larger than his average viewership? I suspect CNN is too tone deaf to care.

I detest Morgan but have to concede this petition is idiotic and to brag that 60.000 have signed it is even more idiotic.

There is only one effective course of action and that is to STOP WATCHING these idiots.

Stop watching the lefty channels and stop watching any clips of their shows on posted in the internet.

Bill Maher says something offensive - DONT WATCH.
Saturday Night Live has that rare skit that may be mildly funny - DONT WATCH.
Letterman insults some conservative woman - DONT WATCH.
Springsteen, Straisand, Moore, Belafonte, Penn just DONT WATCH, DONT GO TO THEIR MOVIES, DONT LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC.

Newsbusters has been documenting the ridiculous statements made by all these clowns for years (since they were called Media Research Center). I think it is counterproductive, the solution is to ingnore them not to propagate their venom.

The Constitution applies to citizens of the USA.

Piers is not a citizen.

Much as I despise boycotts, if CNN will not take action and dump him, we will need a list of pm´s sponsors. I never watch the twit so boycotting PM and CNN is meaningless but I can boycott any of his sponsors in a heartbeat. The libs did it to Rush Limbaugh so it should be a totally acceptable action against PM and CNN, right?

Mark Steyn just advised on The Rush Limbaugh Show a few minutes ago that the DC police warned David Gregory NOT to exhibit the illegal (in DC) 30-round magazine on Meet the Press last Sunday, and Gregory flouted the DC police.

Steyn said that Gregory want ´to cling´ to the magazine. LOL!

The group of idiots who dreamt up the idea of the general public being able to start petions on the WH website and setting a pretty low bar of 25,000 signatures in order to receive a response from the WH are probably living off cat food and the generosity of strangers by now.

BTW, has there been a response from the WH yet? Didn´t think so, and I don´t expect one.

If Britain can bar Michael Savage from their country for making anti-Islam statements in THIS country, then we shouldn´t have any problem getting rid of Piers.

Who the hell names their brat Piers, anyway?

Don´t sign anything the WH puts out. They like seeing us waist our time with useless devices like this. Then one gives your name and whatev and they can harass the heck out of you or have some hacks do it.
Don´t fall for it.
CNN only has 184,000 viewers at night. This fop is just getting eyeballs. We are played for fools.

Carney: Senior White
House staff knew of IRS probe
Associated Press, by Staff    Original Article

WASHINGTON — The White House says White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was first informed about an audit of the IRS´ inappropriate targeting of conservative groups on April 24 and that she notified senior staff, including Denis McDonough, the chief of staff to President Barack Obama. White House press secretary Jay Carney says Ruemmler "appropriately" decided not to tell Obama at the time because the audit was ongoing. The audit by a Treasury Department inspector general found that IRS employees singled out groups with names like "tea party" and "patriots" for special scrutiny that delayed their applications for tax exempt status.

Following the attack in Benghazi, senior State Department officials close to Hillary Clinton ordered the removal of a mid-level official who had no role in security decisions and has never been told the charges against him. He is now accusing Clinton’s team of scapegoating him for the failures that led to the death of four Americans last year. Raymond Maxwell was placed on forced “administrative leave” after the State Department’s own internal investigation, conducted by an Administrative Review Board (ARB) led by former State Department official Tom Pickering.

Organized labor to oppose President
Obama´s nomination of Penny Pritzker
for commerce secretary

Organized labor will break its silence and oppose President Obama´s nominee for Commerce Secretary, Chicago´s Penny Pritzker, the Daily News has learned. The decision stems from long-standing grievances with labor practices at the Hyatt Hotels chain, a source of her family´s fortune, and despite earlier reports that unions would not raise objections to the nomination. Donald "D" Taylor, president of the national Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees (HERE), confirmed the move to The News on Monday. His opposition was spurred by his just learning that the Senate Commerce Committee was moving up its confirmation hearing for Pritzker.

Fox News reports that three Fox staffers, two reporters and one producer, were targeted by Barack Obama´s Justice Department. Fox doesn´t have all the details yet on a reporter William La Jeunesse and producer Mike Levine, but their emails showed up in a IG report regarding Fast and Furious. Either their emails were leaked by the Justice Department officials they were sent to, or the email accounts of both were subpoenaed and invaded by government investigators. The IG report does say that subpoenas were issued to obtain emails. Whose email was targeted is not yet known.

IRS Was Afraid of the Constitution,
the Obama Scandal Suggests
New York Sun, by Ira Stoll    Original Article
Posted By: drive- 5/20/2013 1:23:03 PM     Post Reply
Of all the discouraging news in the scandal involving President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service, the most illuminating is that one of the things that triggered additional scrutiny from the IRS for groups applying for tax-exempt status was any plan for “educating on the constitution and bill of rights.” As the details of the situation have emerged, various explanations have arisen for the behavior of the IRS officials involved. A 2,700-word report issued over the weekend by a team of seven New York Times journalists attributed the problem to “an understaffed Cincinnati outpost that was alienated from the broader I.R.S. culture.”

We already have seen that the Obama administration doesn’t think much of the freedom of religion clause when it interferes with the HHS regulations. We’ve been shamed into giving up the 2nd Amendment, for the children. We’ve seen the freedom of the press isn’t really freedom anymore if the Justice Department doesn’t like what you’re writing about. But with the testimony Friday of Steven Miller to the House Ways And Means Committee, we see now that what you pray about is a legitimate tax question. And on the Hugh Hewitt

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
