Gun rights advocate Ted Nugent on Wednesday called Michael Moore and Piers Morgan "subhuman punks."

This was clearly in response to what the pair said about him on CNN's Piers Morgan Live Tuesday evening:

ThankU Lord for creating subhuman punks like Michael Moore Piers Morgan Diane Feinstien et all who hate me & freedom They make me proud/glad — Ted Nugent (@TedNugent) March 20, 2013

As NewsBusters reported Tuesday, Moore and Morgan spent almost the entire show trashing gun rights advocates.
