Michael Savage is an idiot and deserves to be prohibited from entering ANY country that believes that his BILE and VITRIOL is harmful.
Savage is a right wing nut who sez the most hateful things on the air that could possibly be said. He appeals to those with "closet" racism and hatred.
As with people like Rush Limbaugh, and more recently, Sean Hannity, Savage sez whatever hits the hot button of those who hate is deep seeded.
That is the easiest way to maintain this type of listener.
In our country, we allow a P.O.S. like this to have a voice. In the UK, they believe that this type of person who preaches hate speech is the same as a terrorist.
In the UK, his type of hate is unwelcomed.
I applaud his making the list and never fear that I will make that list and any suggestion to other americans that they may make the list is nonsense.
Savage (Michael Alan Weiner)- jewish- began his career as a pot smoking liberal, he ditched the Vietnam draft by being in the South Pacific during the period where he would have otherwise been drafted.
He is the typical right wing kook, ditch military service yet talk about our military as if he would have served, just as Rush Limbaugh got out of service by claiming he had a boil on his "can".
Savage deserves the "shunning" from countries who dont believe his politics or views on current world issues.
Savage sez horrible things on the air. Too many to list, but there are some that stand out.
note:
March 2006, Savage drew the fire of the Roman Catholic community when he accused the Roman Catholic Church of breaking federal law by giving assistance to undocumented immigrants (in response to statements by Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles calling it "pastoral support").[57] William A. Donohue, the president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, was scheduled to be on the show that day but refused after he became upset upon hearing Savage's language. Later he responded by saying "what is not fine is Savage's diatribe about the 'greedy pigs' in the Catholic Church and how 'the institution is rotten from the top to the bottom.' He owes all Catholics an apology."[58]
On March 28, 2006, Savage encouraged his listeners to burn Mexican flags to counter a pro-illegal immigration group that had burned American flags.[59]
On his July 5, 2007 radio broadcast, commenting on students who were fasting in protest of Congress' failure to pass immigration reform legislation, Savage declared, "I would say, let them fast until they starve to death; then that solves the problem." In August 2007, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors — which had previously commended the student protest — took up a resolution that "condemns the defamatory language used by radio personality Michael Savage against the immigrant community", claiming that Savage had "urged the death of those students." The resolution included a "whereas" clause that made note of a community-organized vigil to take place outside the offices of the KNEW radio station on August 15, calling for the "termination" of the The Savage Nation radio program.[60][dead link]The city attorney stated that although the resolution did condemn Savage, it did not violate any of his constitutional rights. The resolution was approved by the board on a near-unanimous vote on August 14, 2007.
In the matter of Elizabeth Smart, he said on the air:
On the March 18, 2003, Savage called Elizabeth Smart "Snow White." He then went on to say that if he were writing a newspaper article about what had happened to Elizabeth Smart that the headline would be, "Snow White Gets Raped By Bum In White Robes." He then said that if he were going to write a book about what happened to Elizabeth Smart that the title would be, "LIZZIE DOES UTAH."[52]
Savage appeals to those who secretly feel this is a "white society" and it will return to a "white only", "english only" society some day.
He gets what he deserves.
