Weiner must feel out-assholed by Ann Coulter and Neal Boortz these days.from Media Matters:
Savage called Media Matters "the homosexual mafia"On the July 3 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage repeatedly referred to Media Matters for America as the "homosexual mafia" and falsely claimed that a July 3 Media Matters item accused him of "insult(ing) Muslims" because he criticized descriptions of neurosurgeon Mohammed Asha -- one of the suspects arrested in connection with the failed car bombings in England -- as a "brilliant neurologist." In fact, Media Matters simply spotlighted Savage's attack on women who wear burqas, which immediately followed his comments regarding references to Asha as a "brilliant neurologist." Savage said: "Why are they calling one of the Muslim doctors -- one of the terrorists -- a 'brilliant neurologist'? What has he done that makes him brilliant? Dr. Mohammad Asha came in on asylum. ... Oh sure, come in. Bring your entire brood with you. Bring your ... I'd like to use the word I'd use in a bar -- bring your wife with you in a burqa." Savage then said: "
hen I see a woman walking around with a burqa, I see a Nazi ... a hateful Nazi who would like to cut your throat and kill your children."
As Media Matters documented, on the July 2 broadcast of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation, Savage wondered aloud why Asha was being referred to as a "brilliant neurologist" and criticized the decision to grant Asha and his wife asylum in the United Kingdom. Savage then proceeded to compare women who wear burqas to Nazis. Media Matters included his preceding comments about Asha as part of its policy of publishing the full context of all remarks discussed in its items.
Savage revisited the topic on the July 3 edition of his show, saying, " 'Brilliant neurologist.' I love that line for the Muslim doctor. What made him brilliant? What did he do that was brilliant? I asked that and the homosexual mafia at Media Matters said, 'He insulted Muslims by saying "brilliant neurologist." ' " Savage added: "What, he was a Muslim who was a neurologist? That automatically made him a brilliant neurologist?"
Earlier in the program, Savage had said: "The radical left, the homosexual mafia, and the Islamists are all working together to undermine talk radio to begin with." He continued: "Now, you have to ask yourself, 'Why would the homosexual mafia, in the form of Media Matters, and the Islamists agree that conservative talk radio should be picked off and taken off the air?' " Savage further stated that Media Matters is "continuously try to catch me in saying something they don't agree with. And yet, what they don't understand is I'm actually trying to save them from destruction." Savage has previously referred to Media Matters as a "gay smear sheet" and a "gay website that attacks me every day." ......(more)
