Bless his precious heart. MSNBC’s Touré is all worked up about his inclusion in James O’Keefe’s hilarious new video.
Touré was among the gun-grabbing journalists O’Keefe caught declining to display a sign advertising their homes as “proudly gun free.” After a string of uhs and ums, Touré brushed off the Project Veritas crew posing as “Citizens Against Senseless Violence.”
We offered GUN FREE sign at @Toure home. His response: "Uhm – I mean – Uh – I mean – you know, I mean – I mean you know http://t.co/O7NxMT2l

He explained that he’d have to check with his neighbors since he wasn’t sure how they’d feel.
Evidently Touré’s widdle feelings got an ouchie when he discovered he was caught on camera. “I treated the people who came to my home with great respect & engaged them at length & this is how you return that respect?” he whined.
Shocker: Touré can dish it out, but he’s not so great at taking it. Even when “taking it” simply involves having his words quoted on Twitter.
How, @Toure, are we "disrespectful" when you have said "I have a right to know who has a gun"??? http://t.co/poPdPDXe

Maybe, @Toure, the public has a 'right' to know YOU DON'T have a gun. Now they do know that. http://t.co/OQQus6ib

If you change your mind, @toure, and decide you now want to be armed, I hear the process in NY just got a lot more difficult.
— James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) January 15, 2013
But, @Toure, when you have NBC friends like Gregory, who is above the law, I'm sure the process will be easier than for us peasants.

O’Keefe’s followers didn’t let Touré’s tweet slide either.

Too funny! @Toure channels his inner Piers Morgan: "How dare you! How dare you!" Can dish it but can't take it. #truthache @JamesOKeefeIII

Hey @Toure. What exactly did @JamesOKeefeIII & associates do to you that was disrespectful?
— Matthew Vadum (@vadum) January 15, 2013
Duh. Quoting a liberal is totally disrespectful. Just ask Ellen Barkin!
@Crabbyolebroad @Toure @JamesOKeefeIII Apparently, playing a recording of what Toure said is insulting to Toure.

During their exchange, O’Keefe mistakenly thought that Touré had memory-holed the embarrassing tweet about respect.
MSNBC's @Toure just DELETED his tweet at me after appearing in video rejecting GUN FREE sign. Here's a pic… pic.twitter.com/FEgMcSuP

Touré’s response? He called O’Keefe a liar:
@JamesOKeefeIII I have not deleted my tweet at you. Now you're lying about easily checked things.
— Touré (@Toure) January 15, 2013
A mistake is lying? What was that about respect?
Oh, and Touré, we’re still waiting for a real answer on this:
Hi @Toure, why do you refuse to put a "This home is proudly gun free" sign in your front yard? http://t.co/9vopxOeU
