As Twitchy reported, ghoulish media hacks and lefty celebrities have spent today descending on the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, like flies. Gun control zealot Michael Moore is among the most depraved of them all. He’s taken to Twitter to exploit the deaths of 27 innocent people for political points:
The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health care, and an end to violence as public policy.

Too soon to speak out about a gun-crazy nation? No, too late. At least THIRTY-ONE school shootings since Columbine.

19 years ago today was the FIRST Aurora gun massacre. Here's an essay from one who lived: http://t.co/vAI5L0Ui

Just 18 hrs ago, those Republicans in the Michigan House rammed thru a bill making it LEGAL to carry a gun into a school or day care center.

Hey, @BarackObama – you know all those nuts that fear you're going to take their guns? You can take their guns now.

RT @mat: The gun lobby already hates Obama. I wish he'd give them an actual reason.

The NRA hates freedom. They don't want you to have the freedom to send your children to school & expect them to come home alive
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) December 14, 2012
Get that? The NRA wants your children dead.

That’s exactly what he thinks.

This morning a crazy man attacked 22 children at an elementary school- in China. But all the crazy man had was a knife. Number of dead? Zero

And that makes it OK?
@Burnman @AwardsDaily I never read a headline that said "Dozens of Children Dead in Hand-to-Hand Combat." Guns. Facilitate. Mass. Killings.

That attitude is incredibly dangerous. By taking the responsibility away from the individual and placing it on a gun, what kind of message does that send? How do anti-gun activists expect to stop violence when they refuse to condemn the people who commit violent acts?

And who does Moore think he is? Plenty of Twitterers have a damn good idea, and they’re taking him to woodshed where he belongs:
I am disgusted by those who want to get into the politics of today's violence. Shame on Michael Moore & MSNBC http://t.co/X71Fo8vj

@MMFlint @zacharEdimond How about we spend today allowing those who have lost, to mourn, before we turn their tragedy into a bully pulpit?

@MMFlint wow, you are an idiot. Gun control is not the issue. I can buy a gallon of gas and get a book of matches and do as much damage.

@MMFlint stir the pot after a tragedy to continue to further political agenda. Its a travesty that the first reaction is blame after crisis

@MMFlint they want me to be able to protect my family. If someone breaks into our house, I want a gun. You want knives and clubs banned too?

@MMFlint You are such an idiot Mr. Moore…to honor these children you need to shut the hell up.
— Texas Beer Infidel (@MRVvoort) December 14, 2012
@MMFlint You are so irresponsible, that's an asinine comment. When will you get the fact that criminals do not obey any gun laws?

@MMFlint Silly to say something like this…..Your logic leads to NRA doesn't care about children. And that's wrong.

That’s never stopped him before.
@MMFlint the way to honor these people would be to shut up with your political agenda and let these people mourn their losses.
— John Filan (@hifi75) December 14, 2012
@MMFlint Please stop making this issue about your political beliefs. This issue isn't something for you to toy with. Have some respect.

Well said. Too bad Moore is incapable of rational thought.
If your 1st thought upon hearing the new today is "I can use this to advance my agenda" you're a disgusting person. Looking at you @mmflint.

We don’t know how morally bankrupt Moore is able to look at himself. Cretin.
