Protesters seek firing of host Savage
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 8-16-07 | Javier Erik Olvera

About 60 people Wednesday gathered outside the San Francisco radio station that broadcasts radio host Michael Savage's talk show to call for his immediate termination.

The demonstration was prompted by a show last month in which Savage said Latino college students should "starve to death" after they fasted to call attention to a proposed law that would provide a path to citizenship for children illegally brought to the United States by their parents.

To hear people from a corrupt country attempt to deny an American citizen his right to free speech is truly frightening.

But to worry, protesters. Plenty of American police state zealots that are watching these protests closely and are looking forward to the day that they can accommodate you. Under the color of law, they will bring the hammer down on anyone who criticizes the government and the status quo. Just look at the slithering out of countrol hate speech prosecutors in Canada.

The funny thing is, Savage is loving this. Whatever the protesters say they want, what they are doing is giving him free publicity.

Why the outrage? Isn’t the point of an hunger strike to starve to death for ones goals?

Glad to see that they believe in American values such as free speech.

‘Hunger strike’ is just another name for ‘weight-loss plan’.

Exactly. And these are FOREIGNERS "striking" to gain free" benefits that go to AMERICANS. Why should anyone give two sh*ts about them?

I think you're right -- and he should. Yesterday, he had a mic outside capturing the chants of the crowd. It was hilarious.

Even though I have some disagreements with him, I hope this boosts his ratings.

This is not WMAL. If they fire Savage, they may as well file for bankruptcy.

Well most Americans don't have time to go on hunger strikes or protest during working hours. So these fine Mexicans are doing it for us! Mucho Gracias!

It’s hard for me, a seventy year old man, to fathom what is taking place here. I grew up during a time when the USA was the USA. We were United and put our trust in our elected officials. Now our elected officials can’t be trusted. Over the years we have been sold out by them especially on immigration issues. It sems to me that many of our own politicians put illegals and their so called rights in front of those of us who are citizens of this country....
The democrats want these people here for votes and the fact that they can be controled under the socialisic tendencies shown by their party...The Republicans want them here for cheap labor in order to fortify Big Business.

The only reason the Republicans ae starting to act is because WE THE PEOPLE got mad as hell and couldn’t take it any more...WE wrote and emailed our congressmen and women and let them know how we felt..Congress tried to sneak that amnesty bill through and we complained, however I don’t think it will do much good..
Hellary just might get in now, because a lot of people from my generation are talking about not voting anymore.They are just fed up with politicians of both parties...

And 'hunger strike to the death' is another name for 'cleaning up America'.
