Dennis Miller Smacks Down Piers Morgan for Calling Breitbart Evil
As NewsBusters previously reported, CNN's Piers Morgan on Tuesday told Andrew Breitbart that he's "notoriously evil about almost everybody."
The following morning, comedian and syndicated radio host Dennis Miller called Morgan out for this affront likening him to "Norah O'Donnell in an ascot" while advising him to check the Neilsen ratings "to see how long people are bumping into [his] show" (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary):
DENNIS MILLER: Piers Morgan, G-d. Like Norah O’Donnell in an ascot. He just wants the cookie. Nobody watching, Piers. You’re not interesting enough. A man as bright as you should be more interesting. And to do that reflexive thing where Andrew Breitbart is evil, and to say that eight seconds spent with him would be too long a time. Are you kidding me, pal? Can you, can you check the Nielsen things to see how long people are bumping into your show?
I turned into the Kid Rock interview because I like him. As soon as I heard, “How many women have you slept with” and “How much do you make a year?” Come on, for G-d’s sake. You should work for Tiger Beat.
It ain’t working, Piers, and you have been judged by a jury of your peers, and to be found wanting. Breitbart should get that slot when you eventually fall on your sword.

I thought that Breitbart and Miller both showed great restraint when dealing with the bastard. I sometimes wish that I could do the same, but then I get over it.

Piers Morgan is from Britain. Didn’t we throw the British out of here a long time ago? Why should he be allowed to comment on American politics when his country after so long a time has not put in place a Republic?
Physician heal thyself.
Morgan knows full well that the TEA party has been attacked unjustly but he is a liberal. As such he will say nothing if and when people level false accusations at those who sit to the right of him.
Miller should replace him on CNN

Steve. We did not throw out the Brits.
Between 1774 and 1789. They were our biggest trading partner. France 3rd. Spain 2nd.
Ever hear of the slavery triangle. Colonists ship finished goods to UK. Slightly empty ships go to West Africa and trade for Slaves. With their neighbors(fellow africans). Then ships go to West Indies Trade, drop off some slaves, pick up molasses and sugar cane. Then ships go to East coast of the British Colonies. Drop off more slaves, molasses/sugar, pick up finished goods. And the money from all this and return to the UK. Hope you get the idea.
Watch George Washington's story from History Channel.
And you get the general idea. That almost all the big names of the Revolution were businessmen. And the war was about money....
Yes zippy*
Submitted by cajun2 on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 7:48pm.
It was about money. The colonists produced and got little in return. The Brits ruled and we had no rights to fight their thievery. Then they taxed what little was left. That is taxation without representation and very akin to slavery. That instigated WAR. Yes zippy, it was about money, freedom, food, shelter, liberty....

Yeah, yeah, everyone is familiar with the slave trade. Yeah, the war was about money, but it was all British money.
In order for you to get better than the "general idea", do yourself a favor and read - if you are capable of reading anything above a 7th grade level - the biography of Thomas Jefferson by Christopher Hitchens. Then, you'll get the story straight.

Let me see, I have already got a read on your education. You went to a Progressive School (public) and learned that all the trade between England/America and the world was centered about Slave trading.
Right...
And you learned that without the Slave trade there would not have been the East India Company or the Hudson Bay Trading Company. That without the Slave trade; America (that would be us) would never have had any reason to 'kick the British out'.
I submit that between 1776 and 1780 the British were not our primary trading partners. I submit that trade decreased between these years but that the British blockades were responsible for the lack of trade by other partners.
Your take denies the role of the Yankee Trader whose main backbone was the pirate and smuggling trading that went on throughout the Revolutionary War and continues up to this day.
This also denies any context of History. Context is everything, my man; and when you are indoctrinated into Liberal Progressive History - context is a matter of exposure.
What do I mean by exposure? That is the Liberal tendency to only allow certain points of view into the picture. On the one hand we'll ignore the entire commercial picture of the world except for Slave Trade (which was miniscule compared to say, the spice trade) and we'll ignore the spice trade.
I realize that this comment has a bit of too much depth for your mind.
It is like explaining the magic of electricity to a savage.

to put spin on the obvious truth which is, we won the war for control of this side of the pond! However, loyalist to the elitist crown of snobbery like yourselves need to quit trying to revise history to mold your ridiculous arguments. And guess what else? In the War of 1812, we did it again even though DC needed a facelift afterwards. I grew up ten minutes where your beloved Brits came into Bladensburg marina (a large cross stands there in remembrance, well, for now) which is in Prince Georges County Maryland which is outside DC, vis-a-vie southwest Anacostia. Any more smarmy, childish remarks or would you like to stick the actual story? It was ended by the Treaty of Ghent... in a quasi-stalemate but we essentially kicked your friends', aka the Brits, butts once again, most notably in the New Orleans. Oh and I live in Jacksonville, Florida which is named after the American hero of that battle. History is all around you liberals and yet you still seem to not get it right, interesting.
How did that work
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 11:01am.
Where the pre-War boycott took a slightly hegemonic tone and required the West Indies not to trade with Britain either as part of the boycott--or be harbor in the colonial ports?
You probably didn't read that part in Zinn.
If the boycotts would have worked, the war wouldn't have been needed. The war was a result of the retribution received by the colonies in response to the colonies trying to control trade between England and the New World. 1) It wasn't a happy collusion--and 2) the Brits weren't happy about it at all.
All about money
Submitted by CobraMan on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 12:39pm.
Yea, it was all about money, alright, like the money that England refused to let the colonists earn for themselves by producing things like shovels, hammers, and the like, which, by the way, had to be purchased from factories based in England. The colonists could mine and smelt iron, but they weren't allowed to produce anything from that raw stock, not even for their own use (so much for your "finished goods" assertion!). It all had to be shipped to England, to keep from "outsourcing" production to America, no less! ("outsourcing," sound familiar?) England wasn't a "trading partner" with the Colonists, as you assert. England was the Master and the Colonists, themselves, were the slaves.
I DID see that History Channel program, and they mentioned things like that.

I have never heard anything good about this show. I have some very liberal friends that tell me it is extremely boring and childish. I have some conservative friends that tell me it is just stupid and lacks any real facts. I have never bothered to watch it myself but judging by my friends and the various comments noted on various websites, I have a question? Who is watch this man?

Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 11:25am.
Miller is (somewhat understandably) off base. "evil about" is Brit slang for being nasty to somebody. It's not saying strictly saying "Brietbart is evil", it's saying that he is disagreeable, and perhaps unfair or harsh.
Here's something though: If I go to a Muslim country and raise my foot to the level of a person's head, I'm supposed to know what that symbolizes or I'm just another "ugly American" and perhaps "imperialist" would be thrown in there. But Piers is over here in America and he and sympathists probably blameAmericans for misunderstanding him (despite that he was being pretty "evil about" Brietbart), because we're also supposed to know what "superior cultures" mean. Just goes to show you how abject the urbanites' rapture of everything non-American is ("self-hating" Americans?).
Regardless, I don't think Piers or "self-hating Americans" really care.

Piers is one of the termites in the MSM. He contributes nothing, chews away at everything in his path, and will leave only when the exterminator gets called in. The exterminator, in this case, being the low ratings the guy gets. What a pathetic, arrogant, self satisfied dolt.

Since Miller and porn were mentioned above, here's another reason to like him:
A few years back, air-pirates in Chicago cut into the evening broadcast of 'Jeopardy'. They switched viewers over to a hard core porn flick. It took the network approx. 5 minutes to get the porn off. Millers quote? - "Viewers tuning in to watch Jeopardy knew something was amiss when they heard a man say 'suck my ****' instead of 'what is - suck my ****'!"

I happened to be in my car listening when Dennis unloaded on Piers. It was epic!! If I hadn't been driving I would have given him a standing-o.
There's one reason why liberals will never grow up and quit with the lame lib hate speech: As Dennis Prager said, "...(they'd) have to (actually) argue the issues."
