Bay Area immigrant rights advocates say radio host Michael Savage should be fired for using hateful language when suggesting supporters of an immigration reform bill who fasted in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza last week should starve to death.

During a July 5 broadcast of "The Savage Nation," his nationally syndicated talk show, Savage said, "I would say let them fast till they starve to death ... because then we won't have a problem about giving them green cards because they're illegal aliens."

More than 30 protesters publicly denounced Savage and the on-air remarks outside San Jose City Hall on Thursday and said his comments should not be disregarded on the basis of constitutional free speech.

The group, which included San Jose State students who participated in the hunger strike and a variety of community activists, called on radio stations such as Clear Channel Radio's KNEW 910 AM in San Francisco to apologize for airing vile language and hate speech and cheered in support of the immigrant students who fasted.

5. Have NEVER seen a real Democrat who would be able to tolerate any part of Michael Wiener Savage.

Not one.

Perhaps you are confusing Democrats with some of the dear hearts who, in their great lonliness, come here to make belief! It's a kind of "dress up" game for them, attempting to pass as intelligent people.

7. He (and his cohorts) are the Julius Streicher of our day

This is NOT entertainment. This is NOT reasoned political discourse. This is a call to massacre innocent people.

Julius Streicher:

Julius Streicher (February 12, 1885 – October 16, 1946) was a prominent Nazi prior to and during World War II. He was the publisher of the Nazi Der Stürmer newspaper, which was to become a part of the Nazi propaganda machine. His publishing firm released three anti-Semitic books for children, including the 1938 Der Giftpilz (The Poison Mushroom), one of the most widespread pieces of propaganda, which purported to warn about insidious dangers Jews posed by using the metaphor of an attractive yet deadly mushroom. After the war, he was convicted of crimes against humanity and executed.

The poison that Savage (and Coulter and Malkin and ...) puts into our culture will lead to very bad things. They are creating an environment where mass murder and detention camps become acceptable.

Him and his ilk are one of the reasons of the downfall of our country in recent decades...

11. What shithead!

Seriously, he thinks he is some sort of "big, important, guy" behind the mic when in reality he is a sniveling little insignificant P.O.S.

12. LOL

This is nothing new. This clown pulls that kind of crap daily. I used to have to listen to him every day before I got XM. He is a mental case and gets more loony every time I hear him. I think its the fact that he is so out there that keeps him from having to atone for all the racist loonytune comments he makes. Everyone knows hes a whack job so no one pays attention when he says crazy things.

13. Go after his advertisers

Nothing scares the capitalist pigs than loss of profits...
