A Clinton-appointed federal judge ruled in favor of Michael Savage today in an attempt by the Council on American-Islamic Relations to extract attorney fees and costs in a case the nationally syndicated talk radio host brought against the Muslim lobby group.
"This is a huge victory for me, personally, but also for the rest of America who is afraid of this lawsuit-happy group of intimidators," Savage said.
Judge Susan Illston of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California previously dismissed Savage's copyright infringement and RICO lawsuit against CAIR. Savage alleged CAIR illegally published singled-out quotes and audio excerpts from his show regarding Islam, misappropriated his words and used the clips for its own fundraising purposes, damaging the value of his copyrighted material.
Savage noted Illston is a "bona fide liberal, yet she followed the law in the fees motion."

What's this about?
I listen to Savage on occasion - not all that enthralled with him but glad he didn’t have to pay those people ....

Iran gets in on the "Michael Savage" action.
The national shows that I listen to regularly include Rush, Hannity (delayed), Levin (delayed), Ingraham (recently dropped in Sacramento), Hedgecock (Saturdays). Others that I listen to relatively often include Hewitt (delayed), O'Reilly (delayed) and Bohannon (delayed). Another on the often list is George Noory but his most hated enemies are Bush and Cheney. The rest are San Francisco KSFO local shows. They all have plenty of guts but none can boast of raising the ire of our Country's enemies. That honor requires more than a few tepid on-air remarks every so often.
If there are other radio personnel targeted by the Islamic Republic of Iran or other radical Islamist enemies I am not aware of them.
So Savage says things that upset people? That includes me and I've stated them on FR his thread.
Nevertheless I think Savage deserves the recognition despite his severest critics.
Well at least the tyrants in Iran have a cute little name for him, Dajjal. A little classier than the Savage-haters here in the states, like $#&^! *(#%^! Yeah, like those.
Wow, the leading cause of terrorism in the world, the Islamic Republic of Iran, has taken offense at our own Michael Savage!
What other talk show host can boast that?
Many Islamic “charities” on trial in Dallas Texas for aiding terrorism through fund raising.
Here is a link for one of the few who are reporting on the case.

I recall that the Holy Land in Dallas was raided the week before 9-11. Coincidence?
Shame on me for thinking such a thing.
