This week, Michael Savage demonstrated why he doesn't deserve to be allowed in the UK

Thursday's edition of The Savage Nation included this diatribe about a man who was ejected from an airplane for refusing to turn off his electronic cigarette and acting belligerently. Of course, because the arrested man, 19-year-old Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan, was a Saudi Arabian Muslim (not a good ol' American from Iowa), of course you'd expect the right wing to go crazy over this.



This segment clearly is a flagrant violation of the UK Racial and Religious Hatred Act because Savage intended to incite hatred toward Muslims (which he does on the regular).

I had to turn it off and listen to Norman Goldman. BTW, KTLK in Los Angeles has this smart local host named David Cruz during Weiner Nation time slot (3-6PM). Cruz is a relief from the obsessive hatred toward "illegals" on the other radio shows.

Savage also discussed the story of a Florida police officer named Paul Pletcher charged with stealing a woman's cell phone because he saw the woman's friend recording his traffic stop. The traffic stop originated...of all reasons...because of the woman named Neyda Osorio giving the officer the middle finger. Savage had a sort of "ugh" reaction when he read Osorio's name and then complained about new immigrants something like: "First 6 words they learn: Me immigrant. You racist..." (forgot the other 2 and I can't find audio of this program). Yet another violation of UK law.

I don't know if he's still appealing his ban or complaining, especially because the UK reaffirmed the ban in May 2011, but I've gotta say that rule of law and sovereignty are supreme. Savage can't be howling about American sovereignty being lost through illegal immigration then encroach on the UK's sovereignty.

2. It is hard to believe that he is a product of UC-Berkeley.

I can't stand to even listen to his show for more than a couple minutes at a time. It physically makes me sick because of the hatred he spews on every show.

What a piece of trash.

Here is he whipping up war fever against Iran in 2009 using the same old tired memes (if you do not hate Iran and bomb them, you are Hitler, Gestapo, a terrorist, etc)
