Who's hunting Savage?

I don't believe for a minute that the United Kingdom decided to ban entry to U.S. talk-radio star Michael Savage on its own initiative.

First of all, Savage was not asking to enter the U.K.

Second of all, while Savage is a big fish in the U.S., his program is not widely known across the pond.

What would possess Home Secretary Jacqui Smith to single out Savage on a short list of 16 people worldwide who would not be welcome?

I think I know the answer.

But first, you have to understand the backdrop to this story.

Barack Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress are conducting a scorched-earth war on the First Amendment. The Federal Communications Commission will soon be headed and controlled by an appointee who thinks government, not the free market, should control broadcast programming. The appointee to be regulatory czar for the administration has flirted with ideas like a "Fairness Doctrine" for the Internet and mandatory 24-hour, cooling-off periods before sending angry e-mails. As we speak, local "commissar commissions" are being established in every radio market to monitor programming and challenge broadcast licenses on the basis of content. Hate-crimes legislation has passed the House and is headed for the Senate – a bill that would punish thoughts and speech and provide, for the first time, special protections to a new "victim class" of pedophiles.

Who's hunting Savage?

A muslim who has Smiths ear.

It’s either CAIR or the homo lobby. In any case Savage is being listed along side murdering terrorists because of what he says. This should enrage even people that don’t care for him.

Obama and his garbage must be thrown out! The sooner the better! I will never agree with a damn thing he has done or will do!.... he’s the poison pill of the radical left. Just look at what he’s doing to America! I don’t recognize my country anymore! It’s being run by the ACLU!....

[pissant]

It certainly was Obama’s minions or CAIR types. One and the same, really.

[knarf]

I think your basic premise is right on, Joe .... but commies in London?

Naaahhhhh .....

Now CAIR's influence might be more tenable.

[jersey117]

The administration, of course. Savage has been taking them on for the past few weeks and they just can’t have that. Savage calls zero an imposter on a regular basis - and we all know how thin skinned he can be.

Thank you-this crap needs to stop. We need to defend
the first amendment! Reminds me of that poem-says
something about “when they came for so and so.....”

[jakerobins]

You can’t appease Muzzies no matter how much you give in to their kooky belifes. Stop trying! They will hate non-muslims no matter what...

[AngelesCrestHighway]

This should enrage even people that don’t care for him.

It does tick me off because the black racist Louis Farrakhan is not on it! Why is this whack left Brit reaching across the pond to ban Savage? What about all the radical Muslims in Britain? Don’t they pose a bigger threat than the rantings of Savage? Quite odd, old man!

“Who’s hunting Savage?”

I vote for CAIR like some others on this thread. They have the oba-messiah’s ear and are in contact with their jihadist brethern in England, for sure.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

BAN OBAMA FROM AMERICA!

[agere_contra]

The UK’s least wanted list is full of radical Muslims.

No-one here in Britain has even heard of Savage. His inclusion was a political ploy hand-in-glove with Obama.

From Wiki, FWIW.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.

Interestingly...if you buy into the DhimmiRat, LibTard pronouncements from the past, you would be first in line to challenge these types of restrictions on free speech. You would be championing the right of people everywhere to speak their minds.
Instead, the LibTards are cultivating the PC ground, naming new classes of ‘victims’and new disenfranchised groups. They are crafting legislative corrections to each new perceived slight.
It’s never about ‘rights’ with this insane idiots. It’s ALWAYS about power...power over you and me and all the rest of the people of this (once) great nation.
It’s time for this madness to stop.

I agree the leftists are making an end run against the Savage.

[SoldierDad]

To a Muslim, there are only two kinds of people in the world: 1) Muslims & 2) people they have yet killed for not being Muslim.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

not just michael savage, talk radio in general.

[Maneesh]

This is a brilliant response and summarized ISLAM perfectly. It is all one needs to know when evaluating any Muslim behaviour.

I’ve only listened to him once for an afternoon of driving around Las Vegas, and I did not like him,but I will defend VEHEMENTLY his right of free speech, and fight the small-minded, hardball tactics to attempt to shut him up. I’d even defend Al Franken’s right to speak openly.

I am embarrassed that our government is this immature and our people are falling right in dumb line with this. Nobody can think past the moronic MSM any more??
