Let's Ban Some Brits

I have a confession to make; I am a fan of Dr. Michael Savage. Before you get all blue in the face and start screaming at me about how hateful he is I will admit sometimes he says things I don’t agree with. I didn’t agree with everything my grandmother used to say either but I never threw her under the bus when it served my purpose like a certain President of the United States. Dr. Savage sometimes uses language I find offensive but then again so do Barack Obama and a number of his friends.

I meant the friggn commie who was there a couple of years ago, so yes, him.

[a fool in paradise]

Obama and Biden can go to Ray’s Hell burger.

[MamaDearest]

Cat Stevens when he wants to sell albums

He's being followed by a moon shadow (moon shadow, moon shadow). Sorry, couldn't resist.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I nominate Coldplay for banning.

[Long Island Pete]

I say it’s their country and they should be allowed to let in who they want and keep out who they want. After all here in America our borders are tight as a drum. A fence has been built along the entire southern border.....Um....Oh never mind.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I suggest Sacha Baron Cohen, but that would forever deny me of one of my most cherished fantasies - introducing him to the Flying Clothesline, followed by the Elbow Drop, Vertical Press and finally the Cross-body Avalanche.



Don't forget the Brain Claw!

I would suggest banning all Brits with a permanent address in one of the “no go” / “sharia law” zones their police have..

[truthguy]

I wish Madonna would get British Citizenship so we can ban her.

[TexasRepublic]

Ban not-so-bonny Prince Charlie and those that spawned him.

[SJSAMPLE]

Savage is bat-shit crazy.

That said, I don’t think he’s ever encouraged a violent act.
All he’s done is speak.

England has preachers advocating violence on a daily basis and hasn’t done jack about those REAL threats.

This whole fiasco really brings to mind one of my favorite series of lines from the movie "JFK", (even if it was a liberal movie).

Those lines, by "X" (a very convincing Donald Sutherland), were:

"Well that's the real question, isn't it? Why? The how and the who is just scenery for the public. Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia. Keeps 'em guessing like some kind of parlor game, prevents 'em from asking the most important question, why? .... Who benefited? Who has the power to cover it up? Who? "

I have come to the conclusion that somebody in the United States Government MUST have had a communication to the Home Office in the UK and said "look, we cannot go after this kind of guy and his ilk on talk radio yet here--we are working some administrative ways to reign these folks in, but in the meantime, we can have some fun. As our fraternal partners overseas in shutting down *hate speech* why not ban this guy from entry to the British Isles? Here. Listen to this attached .wav and see for yourself."

Then you turn to "X's" lines in "JFK" for further insight and where to search for the smoking gun.

Just who was it that, in the last month or so, Savage has pissed off the most due to monologues, exposes and just plain old rants? If you really listen, you will hear it is one of two women. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and/or Janet Napolitano of DHS. He tore them new ones in the last two fortnights...and for good reason.

DHS is, as I am made to understand, the American Counterpart to the Home Office in the UK, contacts and interchange between those two will be tight. Of course, on Pelosi's professional foreign policy staff on the Hill, any number of them could conceivably get through in a moment and a high level staffer at 50 Queen Anne's Gate, London. Where I am going with this, it is almost a given that this banning of Savage by UK Immigration out the clear blue was not something inspired or orchestrated entirely on that side of the Atlantic. Their silence in our own country in the aftermath also speaks volumes, although they are laughing behind closed doors and they move ahead on the Fairness Doctrine in our own country which will silence it good for ALL of our own individual favorite conservative talk show people under Obama. There likely was a caustic, causal agent within our own country, most probably a US federal government employee or official of some sort in the new Obama Administration, a political appointee pehaps. Read into it what they have to benefit about it.

It is an attack on all Talk Radio, and on all Free Speech. It is a fitting encore to the original DHS study to label conservatives and veterans as terrorists.

I would like to see a UK investigative journalist get into this thing on their side of the pond (if one is lurking, sign up to FR and send me a "Freep Mail" about your thoughts to dig). I am sure for the right "price" or book deal, someone could be encouraged to "sing" and bring this whole conspiratorial house of cards down in one fell swoop.

Travel bans like these just don't happen by accident. Everything is for a purpose. Who was the most angry? Who sought to punish or have a little *fun*? Who stands to benefit the most at Michael Savage's humiliation, slander or fall???

Some usual suspects come to mind.

This ignorant Brit here asks...

Who is Michael Savage anyway?

This is a more pertinent point than you might think. The UK has banned this guy, who no-one in the UK has ever heard of. NOW they have heard of him though - so just how effective was the ban??????
