Religious group wants KCMO 710-AM to drop Michael Savage’s program
KansasCity.com ^ | May 18, 2008 | Edward M. Eveld and Lynn Franey

Bearing petitions and prayers, about 70 people gathered Sunday to protest the “hateful utterances” of national radio personality Michael Savage, whose talk show is carried locally by KCMO 710-AM.

Representatives from several faiths, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Sikhism, were meeting for the first time as the Interfaith Coalition Against Bigotry at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

The group has collected hundreds of signatures on petitions protesting Savage’s statements last fall, “which included a call to deport Muslims from the United States without due process of law,” the group said.

“We have become sometimes saddened and sometimes angered by what Michael Savage has said,” Arif Ahmad of the Islamic Center of Johnson County said Sunday. “We have to tell everyone, you become a star by bringing people together, not by dividing them.”

“... about 70 people gathered Sunday to protest... The group has collected hundreds of signatures on petitions ...”

WOW, 70 people collected hundreds of signatures. Amazing what passes for news. Our local Rush affiliate does the same thing. Every time a handful of wingnuts get together it get reported on the radio.

The comments after the story are good (mostly). You can leave a comment yourself. I did.

Wow ... the Kansas City metro population served by KCMO is 2 million so this means (gasp!) ... so 70 underemployed underworked twits protesting is almost 0.000035 percent.

Freedom of speech is not there to protect popular speech. It’s to protect unpopular speech. The term, “Hate Speech” more often than not is used by weak minded people that do not have the skill set required to win an argument.

“Beyond that either he is a leftie faking conservative or just a crazy guy who happens to occasionally talk like a conservative.”

He’s the right’s version of Keith Olbermann.

Funny how I didn’t see any folks on this thread questioning whether or not what Rev Wright said was “hate speech”.

Also be very careful what you wish for. First Savage, then Hannity and Rush. They what will we have to tune to? Furhtermore, then they will come shut you down for, “hate speech”. These so called religious people are the reason why evens such as the holocaust happen. It starts off slow and then it is slowly turned up. Kind of like a boiling a frog...

Savage is more like Stern than he is like Rush. I heard that argument with Stern and with Imas. They both survived. I choose not to listen to Savage. That’s all I can do. I also choose not to listen to skanky music on the radio.

You could tune to music instead of someone saying the same thing day after day.

 The group wants to see KCMO drop Savage’s show, the Savage Nation, put on a disclaimer saying the show’s views do not match those of the station, or give Muslims or interfaith groups air time to respond and explain Islam...

Don't forget to explain the following...

By the arghhh in your response, it sounded like more. Maybe you could change the station prior to getting out of the car, that way, you won’t have to hear any of him.

“Savages listening audience is Keith Olbermann wet dream. Savage is ranked third only be Rush and Hannity.”

Howard Stern used to beat them all. Is that something to brag about?

I think that says a lot about our nation and validates what Savage is saying.

What's so funny about that? Did you ever hear Savage say GD America, or target, and make hateful comments about the skin color of a person?
