This morning I visitied ConservativeNewMedia on YouTube and got this message: As of today, Fri. Nov 13, 2009, we are pulling all of our FOX News clips. We got a heads-up that FOX is going to be enforcing its copyright rights on YouTube, and we are thus forced to do this. At this time, we will not be able to post any further clips from FOX News. We'll keep you posted. Then I dug a little deeper and found it may be directed towards lefties. See, they don't like it when it happens to them!

No one can deny his ratings, his influence, his tremendous book success, his ravenously loyal fans, and his impact - yet it's almost as though the rest of the Talk Radio Community doesn't know he exists. It seems like so many of the big names in talk are "pal-ing" around, referencing each others work, appearing on each others program, yet where is Dr. Savage? What could be causing this? It's not like they never mention him (just very rarely), yet when they do... I can almost sense a tone of "dissimal" - like he's not legitimate. Why? Is it just...

As a talk-radio host officially banned in Britain for "fostering hatred," Michael Savage has unearthed a greater story from the ooze -- revealed in the very title of his new book, "Banned in Britain: Beating the Liberal Blacklist." Indeed, Mr. Savage contends that some nefarious "trans-Atlantic occlusion" was afoot in the decision to place him on a list of undesirables that included terrorists and murderers. And the book is just the beginning. "A petition will be circulated in Congress next week by concerned lawmakers. They will demand that the U.S. State Department act on my behalf as an American citizen...

An explosive new book based on a daring six-month undercover operation exposing the subversive agenda of the Council on American-Islamic Relations reveals the Muslim group spent $160,000 in an unsuccessful effort to run top-rated nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage off the air. Internal CAIR documents uncovered in "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America" show that despite its high cost and the continued success of Savage's show, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad believed the campaign was "worth every penny," because, he says, the radio star lost at least $1 million in advertising.

Freedom of speech is under assault. Michael Savage, America's third-most popular radio talk show host, is being assaulted. Earlier this year, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's government placed Mr. Savage on a "least wanted" list, banning the fiery conservative from entering the United Kingdom. His name appeared beside those of Islamist extremists (including a Hamas terrorist), Russian skinheads who murdered more than 10 immigrants and neo-Nazi white supremacists. According to British officials, Mr. Savage poses a potential "threat" to public safety by inciting "hatred" and "inter-community violence." This week the Cambridge Union, one of Britain's most prestigious debating societies, revoked...

Colors for Change, the activists who spearheaded an advertising boycott of Fox News host Glenn Beck for the past three months, have some advice for him. They suggest he get off Fox altogether and create a whole new broadcast genre: the conspiracy channel.

Barbarians Within the Kremlin Gates Yulia Latynina A very long time ago, when Europeans began conquering the world, they encountered a number of strange societies. One was the Aztec Empire, located on the territory of modern Mexico. According to Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes, Aztec ruler Montezuma II was so powerful that he “made up to 20,000 human sacrifices per year.” The Europeans encountered another part of that multipolar world on the coastlands of Brazil. This was the Tupi Indian tribe. A traveler named Andrei Teve, who lived among the Tupi people in the mid-16th century, tells of their unpleasant habit...

Need your help..running a test stream of The Savage Nation on my website..eventually the stream will end when the show goes off, but for now Hugh Hewitt may be on after Savage. Just want to make sure everyone else can see it-I tried to make sure the player was universal. If it works for you, you are more than welcome to listen on my site.

Below is what appears to be the full interview of Andrew Breitbart from yesterday’s Savage Nation radio broadcast. I’ve cued up the relevant portion, which is in Part 2; just press play. Speculation? I would guess he’s got something on SEIU, but given the union’s close relationship with ACORN, that may not fit the “from left field” bill. Other guesses?

Now that KNEW fired Savage, I don't have a source for the previous day's podcasts. Can anyone help?

Rich Lieberman sends word that KNEW (910 AM) has dropped Michael Savage as of this morning. The station's program director, John Scott, was quoted on Lieberman's Web site as saying that they were "headed in a new direction and a new mind set at this station. Savage does not fit in any longer." Coming from a guy who still puts Glenn Beck on the air, this is, to say the least, confusing. Word on the street points to internal friction with station management; losing Savage's significant salary might also have been a factor.

All I can say is this was a bad business decision. I just took KNEW off my preset stations. Take a look at the comments...it tells the story! Bye KNEW!

Just heard on Savage's home radio station, 910 KNEW, that they will be dropping his 3PM to 6PM PST slot in favor of the Armstrong and Getty show! I am interested to see what his reaction will be to this one... First banned in Britain, and now in his own hometown??? http://910knew.com/main.html

Glenn Beck "But remember, everybody: Glenn Beck is the crazy one ..." So wrote one of my sarcastic pals on Twitter yesterday, after hearing that White House "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones believes the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks were an inside job. For those who've lost their scorecards, that makes Jones a self-described communist, a jailbird – and now, a conspiracy nut. Glenn Beck has taken plenty of grief for exposing Jones' radical beliefs over the past few months. No wonder Jones' old organization, Color of Change, tried to organize a boycott of Beck's Fox News show. I say "tried"...

The government in the United Kingdom has dispatched a letter to talk radio icon Michael Savage that he must "repudiate" the views the government has attributed to him before he even can be considered for removal from a banned-in-Britain government list. "It was emphasized that the onus is on your client to publicly renounce the statements which formed the basis of the decision to exclude him," said a recent letter from the Litigation and Employment Group at the Treasury Solicitor's Department in London. "Any such repudiation must be genuine and comprehensive, and persuade my client that this is a true...

Regarding the Michael Savage affair, I would like to echo the comments by Jeff Kuhner who frequently hosts "The Savage Nation" in Michael's absence, particularly his revelatory monologue on Aug. 5. Jeff eloquently voiced the passions and frustrations of Michael and "The Savage Nation" audience, pointing out that normally when someone is profiled in the revered New Yorker magazine, they are granted instant celebrity status and given entree to all of the major network news, cable, newspapers and radio media.

I get asked by readers all the time: how can you go from left to right at such a rapid fire pace? Were you a conservative all along? Are you just yanking our chain; you're really still a liberal in conservative clothing? Great question. This is a topic I ponder daily. Now that I look back, I had the seeds of both a conservative and a liberal in me all along. On the liberal side: I was raised a secular Jew, and, for some God forsaken reason, most of us are Democrats. My upbringing lacked meaning and substance, which propelled...

Mr. Savage say birther be careful he tell you that government can create fake issues of certificate and finish birther for good.

Audio of Michael Savage interview with Orly Taitz.

The decision by Her Majesty's Government to ban Michael Savage from entering the United Kingdom was always a little odd — not least because Mr. Savage had not expressed the slightest interest in entering the United Kingdom in the first place. As John O'Sullivan's column in the New York Post makes brutally clear, the whole business was just another self-inflicted disaster by New Labour kindergarten Machiavellians spinning themselves into ecstasy at the sheer ingeniousness of their scheming. The leaked departmental e-mails read like the spinmeisters' equivalent of a group auto-erotic asphyxiation session. In essence, Michael Savage was added to the...

When I snapped out of my left wing trance last year, I was lost in space. I had no conservative friends and was clueless about web sites and books. I had heard something vaguely about Talk Radio. So I scanned my AM dial and found Michael Savage. (It took several months, and a chat with a rather bemused new friend, before I even realized there were other hosts as well.) Being a lifelong liberal, I'd never heard anybody like Savage in my life. He yelled; he called people "vermin." He was unbridled masculinity, not the touchy feeling kind I was...

British government e-mails reveal that American radio host Michael Savage was targeted for placement on a list of foreigners barred from entering the country as a way to provide "balance" to the Muslim-heavy list. According to the Daily Mail newspaper, British officials predicted that Savage's outspoken views on gays would encourage public support for his inclusion on the list, but acknowledged that their actions could be seen as "duplicitous."

Official correspondence, released under the United Kingdom's Freedom of Information law, reveals that U.S. radio talk-show host Michael Savage's name was placed on a list of people banned from Britain in order to provide "balance" to a "least wanted" list dominated by Muslim extremists, and the decision was made "at the highest level of government," the London Daily Mail reported today. "We will want to ensure that the names disclosed reflect the broad range of cases and are not all Islamic extremists," reads a draft recommendation, marked "Restricted," that was obtained as part of Savage's libel lawsuit against the government...

Former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has suffered a major setback in her legal battle with American 'shock jock' Michael Savage after her officials were accused of banning him from the country on racial grounds. Emails written by Home Office officials privately acknowledged the ban on Mr Savage would provide 'balance' to a list dominated by Muslims - and linked the decision to Gordon Brown and Foreign Secretary David Miliband. The officials admitted their action could look 'duplicitous' and cited his 'homophobia' as a reason the move would receive public support. The Right-wing radio presenter, whose hardline views on Islam, rape...

Dr. Michael Savage confirmed on his radio show "The Savage Nation" last night, that he is still banned from the United Kingdom, and also drops a potential bombshell that in his words is "a very dangerous situation that will put a chill through every fair minded American and that will set off a shockwave through the British and American governments." According to Savage, after researching the information he and his lawyers obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, there is significant evidence to suggest that there are more American talk show personalities whose names are also on the United Kingdom's...

Only Queen ElizabethII can fix this. Press reports that Britain is making nice with talk-radio host Michael Savage are greatly exaggerated... "They leave me no option except to pursue my defamation complaint against Jacqui Smith. In time, I will clear my name, receive an apology from the British government - or the Queen."

A relative of mine asked me how in good conscience I could be a guest on the Michael Savage show. Michael Savage?!WTF!?, that "god-awful, pathetic hate-mongering" nut case on radio?We'll, first off, I was asked to be a guest and accepted, just like I was offered an interview, via phone, regarding Savage and his much publicized situation with the UK and its "ban-list", which still includes Savage's name despite reports that he's off it. He's not and told me so, among other things.Let me first state very overtly and openly that, yes, as I've said in this corner, on TV,...

Michael Savage says a London paper's report that he's been removed from the UK "ban list" is false and that he believes the US government was behind the decision by ex-UK Home secretary Jacqui Smith's controversial action two months ago to announce a list of 16 people branded as 'least wanted' in the UK. Savage was on the list."I am not off the list. I am still on it!"Savage, speaking by phone, says Smith was a virtual tool in the affair. *** Savage says he will devote his entire program today, (3-7 PM, KNEW 910 AM) to go into the...

Britain's incoming home secretary says ban on radio talker's travel to be lifted WASHINGTON – Radio talker Michael Savage told WND he was "stunned" by the quick decision by incoming United Kingdom Home Secretary Alan Johnson to scrap his predecessor's list of people banned from Britain – a list that included Savage along with Islamic hate preachers and terrorists. Savage had sued outgoing Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for libel for listing him, along with 15 others, as "least wanted" visitors in the country. Meanwhile, Smith's successor, Alan Johnson, called the move a terrible blunder and told the London Daily...

MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. — One southern Wisconsin homeowner is probably not in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener. The famed hot dog's Wienermobile crashed Friday into the deck and garage of a home in Mount Pleasant, about 35 miles south of Milwaukee.

Jacqui Smith has admitted she was not up to being Home Secretary - and should have been given some proper training before she was handed the job. Ms Smith, who is likely to be remembered for claiming expenses for a porn film watched by her husband, said any success she had was down to luck rather than skill. She added: "When I became Home Secretary I'd never run a major organisation. I hope I did a good job but if I did it was more by luck than by any kind of development of skills.

Love him or hate him when Savage unloads, it's sure to leave a mark.

The latest Youtube video excerpt from Savage.

State Attorney General Jerry Brown joined a legal challenge Wednesday to Pleasanton's 13-year-old limit on housing construction, arguing that the East Bay community is defying state housing laws and adding to urban sprawl, vehicle use and greenhouse gas emissions. "Pleasanton's draconian and illegal limit on new housing forces people to commute long distances, adding to the bumper-to-bumper traffic along (Interstates) 580 and 680 and increasing dangerous air pollution," Brown said in a statement after filing suit in Alameda County Superior Court. He said Pleasanton's housing shortage will worsen if the city adopts a revised general plan that calls for more...

Prometheus caused blind hopes to live in the hearts of men. ~ Aeschylus' "Prometheus" (fifth century B.C.) Prometheus having his liver eaten out by an eagle. Painting by Jacob Jordaens, c. 1640. The ancient Greek myth of Prometheus is the tragic and enduring narrative of a heroic figure who many publicly despised but secretly venerated, because he did feats of strength that others had neither the vision, intellect nor the heart to achieve. Prometheus, renown for his clever intelligence, became a champion of humanity when he stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. For this crime Prometheus was...

I listen to Doc Savage every now and again and agree with him most of the time. BUT not this time. Last night he was on a rant over Sarah Palin and her possibly becoming the next US President. He made it very clear of his disgust for her and said if Sarah got in, it would be for moree years of Obama. How SO????? Is not Alaska the only State in the Union that gives money back to its constituents. Has a much better Tax code and is doing everything to promote Alaska for the betterment of itself and...

We have often contended that unusual, inexplicable, and/or irresponsible actions by a public official is often symptomatic of serious ethical problems or even criminal behavior. In Luzerne County PA, for example, former judge Mark Ciavarella was known for sentencing juvenile defendants to detention programs without benefit of legal counsel, which should have told the community long ago that something was wrong with him. There was; he recently pleaded guilty to charges that involved kickbacks in connection to the construction and operation of juvenile detention facilities. Ciavarella pleaded guilty and now faces more than seven years in prison. British Home Secretary...

Conservative shock jock Michael Savage is "stunned" that the British Home Secretary who banned him from the U.K. will now step down -- but insists he'll now appeal to Prime Minister Gordon Brown to remove his name from the U.K.'s exclusive "name and shame" list. "This is very unusual that a mere shock jock would bring down a government official,'' Savage told The Chronicle Tuesday in a phone interview, after news reports that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith will resign this week. "The political pressure on her became so great that she was forced to step down.'' Though conservatives are suggesting...

t's the clash of the titans, pitting talk-radio god against fierce national gatekeeper. Michael Savage made good on his threat to sue British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for libel, with the official notification letter arriving at her office Monday. Her response: bring it on.
