A recent lawsuit filed by radio host and author Michael Savage against Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is one of the latest acts of racism against Muslims in the United States.
Savage, who is often criticized for his fascist and racist opinions, sued Washington-based CAIR for copyright infringement, saying the council had rebroadcast over four minutes from his radio show The Savage Nation on their website as an example of the bigotry and hatred against Muslims in the US.
The excerpts had placed the San Francisco-based host's hateful comments against Islam, Muslims and their holy book, Qur'an, on their website. Savage had also linked CAIR to terrorist organizations.
A federal district court in California dismissed Savage's suit in July, maintaining that the use of limited portions of the material for commentary and criticism falls within copyright law's fair use exception.
Savage's lawsuit against CAIR was dismissed in July. However, the incident has indicated that there is a good deal of effort in US media to somehow make a connection between Islam and terrorism.
Bush has done more to fight terrorists than any other President, his troops have killed and imprisoned them by the thousands, but Savage says Bush sent troops to Iraq for the benefit of crooked contractors and Haliburton.
If you think SavageWiener is not racketeering the fear of terror groups, then you should really research SavageWiener more carefully.
He's a radio loudmouth who yells at you and calls you names.
I guess you feel you need that.
What is your point exactly? You hate Savage more than CAIR?
If it matters to you, you fell for the scam.
Savage was attacked by CAIR first because they didn't like what he said about Muslims. CAIR started boycotting his advertisers and spreading lies about him while using his audio clip out of context. According to many lawyers, this is actionable for a lawsuit. As far as a scam, I highly doubt that. There is absolutely no evidence for that.
WienerHead said things about muslims hoping to be attacked.
It's money in the bank to him.
And you fell for it.
Actually its money out of the bank for him, considering he lost a great deal of advertising money due to CAIR.
He has said many negative things [as well as positive things] about Muslims in the past, this wasn’t really anything new.
As far as ‘falling for it,’ I still don’t see where the big scam is here. You have no evidence that this is a scam, and in most cases I would support an effort to bring down CAIR, no matter who files it.
Great post, as far as I am concerned you can’t put this up too much.
The one comment I like best from Savage's show(and I never listen to him unless I can't get Mark on the radio) is that liberalism truly is a mental disorder.
yes Bush has done all that and yet he let the left piss it all away, will not defend his actions.How many vetos did this guy do? You have to agree his 2nd term was really bad and that’s the one I voted for him in. He took a turn to the left for no good reason and it alienated his base, he should have let Chaney go soon after 2004 to groom the next candidate, however I think he would have chose Mitt.
I am not islamophobic. That doesn't exist. A phobia has to 1) a fear and 2) irrational. I am proud to say that I have a very sound and rational position against radical Islam based on historical facts, and it is up to the moderate followers of Islam, not me, to prove me wrong by fighting violence among their ranks.Thank you!!! I have been trying to explain that to people forever (seems that way anyway)!!!
What else, CAIR.
Plus Mark Levin is crushing him in the ratings.
They obviously don't have a clue...........
Absolutely brilliant argument, just what I would expect from a Savage fan, although I am a little surprised by your links to Roy Masters.
About why you would listen to a guy who shouts at you and calls you names?
Absolutely correct, not a clue.
Why? Savage is employed by the Masters family network, I wouldn't have even known bout Savage 'cept Roy Masters mentions and supports him on his own show.
But then again few people have a clue about Roy Masters also, AND the same people who are after Savage are also after Roy Masters. Evil by any other name is still evil and truth regardless of who's speaking it is truth. Savage and Masters are of like 'spirit' and I love both of them.
