The Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center has filed a lawsuit on behalf of controversial conservative talk show host Michael Savage, over a recent report by Napolitanos agency. The suit contends that the report titlted, Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment is nothing more than extremism and violates the civil liberties of veterans, while profiling Americans for their political beliefs. Says the president and chief counsel for the Thomas More Law Center, Richard Thompson, The Obama Administration has declared war on American patriots and our Constitution.The report even admits that the Department has no specific information on any plans of violence by so-called rightwing extremists. Rather, what they do have is the expression of political opinions by certain individuals and organizations that oppose the Obama administrations policies, and this expression is protected speech under the First Amendment.

Oh, this might be fun to watch!
I simply refreshing the memory of FReepers who think that there is some great divide between the R’s & D’s.
And yes, when appropriate I will bring up President Bush, as is Clinton is brought up as well. When people attack liberty and freedom they should be given sunshine.
Shove it, Newbie.
Why doesnt he have Berg on? Yes I have heard his show eneough to know he does have guests on his show. Not often but he does.
You answered yourself in your second sentence. If you want further clarification, ask Rush, not me, or in some broad, shotgun way, Newbie.
Savage does walk the walk. And he is one of the few on talk-radio that is not some hypocritical nutty globalist-free trader. He truly understands what liberty is...and what the real threats are to it....
Just wonder....on what major issue has the Landmark Legal Foundation represented anyone?
I think Savage means Rush, Hannity and O’Reilly.
O’Reilly’s radio show is gone and he is no conservtaive anyway. Hannity is a very nice guy but he has WAY too many Democrats on his show including slime like Sharpton. Pat Caddell is good because he is probably the last honorable Democrat in America. He and Ann Coulter get on well on Hannity’s show.
Rush is still very good and I think Savage might be hard on him but Savage does walk the walk. The Thomas Moore Law Center is a GREAT group and I have donated money to them before.
So the other person calling me a newbie can go FT. I have given plenty for GOP candidates including foolishly to the pro-amnesty as* who’s daughter Meghan is a fat usless shill for the DNC.
IMO, every slimeball that has had a hand in this ought to be keelhauled. And I don't care what party persuasion they claim, or how far back it goes. Not that anything is going to come of this, or happen to the perpetrators.
Lock and load folks, this is a long way from over.
Mike's a passionate man with the money to do some things many wish some rich bastard would do, but it never gets done.
Gates gave millions to AIDS to Africa ... what if he had instigated an investigation into x42 and his treason with China?
Savage is over the top only in so far as he seems to be impatient and I think he would like to be part of something really important before he dies.
Many older men feel that these days.
I’m not quite understanding how a report dated April 7, 2009 is assumed to be prepared by the Bush administration.
I simply don’t believe it was. Even if this administration says it was, Obama and the gang are not known for their honesty.
I don’t know which one Hannity is, but I’d call him the “Backpatter”.
Hey, Newbie, that's me. And it's considered proper to ping someone you're talking about, Newbie. Not doing so backs up my call. So, if your skin's so thin you can't take being called a Newbie when you still are one, then you'd best find other grazing ground.
As for GOP contributions, that's not much qualification around here. We're conservatives first, Republicans second. Get it?
The only one that made sense to me was "Golfer". As for Hannity, I'd agree with your nickname...
When will Janet N release the Left Wing version of the report?
This lawsuit will probably be a successful as the one he filed against CAIR.
Don’t get your hopes up. Unless he’s been directly harmed by what’s in the report, he has no standing. Governmental thoughts, like this report, are one thing and actions are all together something else.
It’s sad that we have to wait for actual victims to do something about the obviously hostile attitude the government has toward conservatives.
Why isn't there a massive and well funded push to bring the birth certificate issue to the forefront and before SCOTUS?
Why aren't there lawsuits and challenges against the over-reaching and trillions in give-aways?
Is Savage the only person of means that cares enough to finances challenges to these US haters and socialists?
...violates the civil liberties of veterans, while profiling Americans for their political beliefs. Says the president and chief counsel for the Thomas More Law Center, Richard Thompson, "The Obama Administration has declared war on American patriots and our Constitution. The report even admits that the Department has no specific information on any plans of violence by so-called 'rightwing extremists.' Rather, what they do have is the expression of political opinions by certain individuals and organizations that oppose the Obama administration's policies, and this expression is protected speech under the First Amendment."
I agree. Savage is a outrageous, which is kinda how he has made his name. I like him most of the time.
Bill Gates is a BIG liberal. He is doing a lot of worthwhile things for the third world countries, drinking water and providing free computers to school children etc.
Of course, he is one of the richest men in America and may be the richest.
I have spoken out here many times against Mr. Savage, but this time I will admit I am 100% behind him and I do hope this lawsuit succeeds.
