Master murder-politicizer Piers Morgan: Don’t politicize Dorner murder spree
http://twitter.com/#!/piersmorgan/status/299607169408585728
Unbelievable. The king of exploiting death for cheap laughs and political points is urging Americans not to joke about alleged murderer Chris Dorner’s bizarre manifesto. That’s pretty rich coming from a man who joked that he was “gleeful” about the Newtown massacre and boasted about standing on dead children’s graves. He continues:
The LA cop-killer murder spree has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with deranged criminality. I hope they catch him asap.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 7, 2013
Since it was revealed earlier today that Dorner’s manifesto contained praise for Morgan and calls for gun control, many have been pushing, generally mockingly, for Morgan to accept some responsibility for the murders. After all, that’s the sort of logic Morgan swears by. Back in 2011, Morgan voiced his outrage that Sarah Palin had not apologized to Rep. Gabby Giffords for Jared Loughner’s deadly shooting spree.
While we do not believe that Morgan is in any way culpable for Dorner’s actions, we are disgusted that Morgan suddenly condemns looking at a killer’s political motivations. Why the double standards, Piers?
(Do I really think Piers is responsible? Of course not. But fair’s fair.)

Holy crap. So @piersmorgan is lecturing people that the LA shooter is about a deranged madman? Not about politics? Quite the turnaround.

How come @piersmorgan isn’t going after the @nra? Come on Piers. I dare you to treat this the way you did CT. DO IT.

.@piersmorgan didn’t flinch when artists blamed the NRA DIRECTLY for Sandy Hook. Now he’s all “this isn’t political”? GTFO.

Of course Piers Morgan responds to #Dorner criticism with moralizing indignation. It’s the only tactic he uses.

Update:
Musket Morgan is back aboard the gun control train:
And guns, obviously > RT @mrjinglesusa @piersmorgan ALL gun murders have nothing to do with politics but with deranged criminality.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 7, 2013
Crazed cop-killer goes on the rampage with assault rifles – and @bradthor says this proves me WRONG about the need for gun control?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 7, 2013
.@piersmorgan @bradthor Two tweets ago you said “deranged criminality” was to blame. Now you’re back to guns? Pick a narrative. Guns or not?
— J.R. Salzman (@jrsalzman) February 7, 2013
Going 2 b hard for @piersmorgan 2 dance on these new graves when the killer is a leftist, a big fan, & believes in #guncontrol just like him
— Brad Thor (@BradThor) February 7, 2013
Yes. It’s worth noting that, in his manifesto, Dorner calls for an assault weapons ban. Morgan appears to have overlooked that minor detail.
