Government-Approved Hate Speech

Against Muslims, if you haven't figured that out yet.

The blogger raises a good point.

I e-mailed and asked why the racist xenophobe Savage is still on their network.

As with calling the Senate yesterday on the "hate bill," I expect nothing bit silence in return.

This Congress, government and MSM are not listening to us, they hate us, and are about to impose a totalitarian state upon us.

2008 is going to be a bad year, folks!

I don't think we have much time.


They Sacked Imus - Why Not Savage?

"Just when you thought zionist propaganda couldn't get any more vile...
‘Shove it up your pipe. I don’t wanna hear anymore about Islam…Take your religion and shove it up your behind…I’m sick of you…What kind of religion is this?…What kind of world are you living in when you let them in here with that throwback document in their hand, the Koran, a book of hate?…They need deportation, and without due process…They need to be forcibly converted to Christianity…It’s the only thing that can probably turn them into human beings.”

CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE, ladies and gents, the shrieking and howling taking place this very moment if the victims of this tirade had been Jews instead of Muslims, or if the author of this tirade–rather than being a hardcore Zionist Jew–had been a Christian or Muslim scholar of some sort or even–heaven forbid–a big-time media type?

So, why hasn't an executive at Clear Channel sacked this scumbag for referring to well over a billion people as sub-human?

The answer (of course) is as obvious as a cockroach on a wedding cake as to why all of this has taken place and why everything that would normally be taking place in the ‘hate-free zone’ known as America has not–The racist, bigoted, unread, unlearned, small-minded individual responsible for saying these things to tens of millions of people is a hardcore Zionist Jew by the name of Michael (Weiner) Savage, and, as already indicated, the victims of his tirade were Muslims, which is why it is perfectly okay to get more than a little bit greasy with the rules governing racism, bigotry, incendiary language, etc, etc, etc…[snip]

Earlier this year, Imus got sacked for referring to the Rutgers University women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos."

Now, that's a foul thing to say. But, then again he got sacked for it. It's only fair that Savage get the same.

Please, take a moment to show your appreciation for the scumbag by flooding Clear Channel's inboxes with demands that they fire him."

I did. I e-mailed three or four of the pukes.

I mentioned Imus being fired, too.

More on Michael "The Weiner" Savage: Calls two rape victims "sluts"

Oh, so he is a sexist asshole, too!

"Michael Savage-right wing conservative talk show host on KSFO 560AM San Francisco, Ca. goes on air on behalf of the DISNEY CORPORATION calling the Lancaster, Ca. teenage kidnap/rape victim's "SLUTS"

Michael Savage, real name Michael Weiner went on air this evening on KSFO Radio 560AM San Francisco, Ca. stating that the two Palmdale High School teenagers that were kidnapped at Lancaster, Ca. then raped by Roy Ratliff "that they were nothing but SLUTS!" Ratliff was shot dead in a gunfire exchange with two Kern County Policeman, just before he was about to murder his two teenage victims. Savage, who hosts the show Savage Nation is a big supporter of the Bush Administration, and is a spokesman for the consevativative right.

Not only that people, KSFO 560AM radio is owned and controlled by the Disney Corporation. You know the one that represents media programming that is geared towards our children! So here we have an employee of the DISNEY CORPORATION-calling these two traumatized teenagers "SLUTS AND THEY GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED, THEY WERE LUCKY THAT THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTIES WERE THERE TO SAVE THEIR LIVES."

IndyBay.org

How does this clown stay on the air? He must have some powerful friends in the boardrooms of American MSM.

Better stick to watching that heavyweight in the "news" FOX, who ran a story yesterday--when the Iran NIE was making news--showing a pic of Jennifer Love Hewitt's love handles.

Whew, FOX's lead news item on Hewitt is too deep and intellectual for my diminutive brain."

This whole subject irritates me.

The fact that assholes like Savage and Coulter are provided a platform, while truthers and bloggers are shat on by the MSM!

If this doesn't prove the MSM's outrageous bias, I don't know what will!

Which makes this a silly question, right?


Does U.S. tolerate anti-Muslim speech?

The latest flap: Radio-show host says Muslims should be deported, sparking a backlash.

| Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor

Lu Gronseth listens regularly to WWTC, a conservative talk-radio station in Minneapolis, and even advertises his mortgage-loan business on the station. But when he learned that a nationally syndicated radio show host had told WWTC listeners that Muslims should be deported and made rude comments about what they could do with their religion, Mr. Gronseth pulled his ads from the station.

So have at least two other Minnesota businesses, at the urging of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., as have a handful of national companies, including OfficeMax, JCPenney, Wal-Mart, and AT&T. But the comments by host Michael Savage in October – and previous anti-Muslim speech – have not created the furor that knocked radio icon Don Imus off of MSNBC and CBS Radio after he denigrated a black women's basketball team. That leaves many Muslims-Americans – and non-Muslims like Mr. Gronseth – suspicious that Americans have a double standard when it comes to Islam.

"My sense is that you could say anti-Muslim comments that you could never get away with, saying for example, as anti-Jewish comments," said Stephen Wessler of the Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence in Portland, Maine. "There's a much greater public level of acceptance of denigrating Muslims."

Indeed, anti-Muslim feeling in the United States, far from cooling since the immediate aftermath of 9/11, has edged higher, polls suggest.

For example: 35 percent of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of Muslims, up from 29 percent in March 2002, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. The same survey shows a rise in the number of people who say Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence: 45 percent in 2007 versus 25 percent in 2002, although that figure has fluctuated over time.

In the current flap over Mr. Savage (whose real name is Michael Weiner), Oregon-based Talk Radio Network did not return phone calls and e-mails requesting comment. The network syndicates his five-day-a-week program to more than 300 stations.

"I think it was every bit as inflammatory as what [Mr.] Imus said," Gronseth says of the October broadcast. "I would have thought there would have been a much stronger reaction."

Imus, meanwhile, returned to the air Monday with a new radio show, seven months after his derogatory comments about the black basketball players got him in hot water. Imus has apologized for those statements.

While anti-Semitism and racism against African-Americans, Latinos, and other groups still exists, Mr. Wessler and other observers say that well-known figures who say offensive and inflammatory things against these groups are almost certain to suffer consequences.

For example, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson resigned his post as head of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York after suggesting in October that black people are less intelligent than other races. ABC executives decided this year not to invite actor Isaiah Washington back to the cast of the hit TV show "Grey's Anatomy" after he allegedly used an antigay slur. When presidential candidate Jesse Jackson failed to distance himself from anti-Semitic remarks made by Louis Farrakhan in 1983, his campaign suffered. Sen. Trent Lott (R) of Mississippi resigned as majority leader in 2002 after jokingly suggesting that America would be better off today had Strom Thurmond, the late South Carolina senator, won the presidency in 1948, when he campaigned as a segregationist.

On the other hand, presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani has endured little scrutiny for touting an endorsement this month from TV evangelist and onetime presidential candidate Pat Robertson, who has called Islam "Satanic" and the prophet Muhammad "a wild-eyed fanatic."

Several other radio and TV commentators regularly use similar language against Muslims without consequences, while conservative politicians have, in the view of some observers, sought to exploit anti-Muslim sentiment. Last year, US Rep. Virgil Goode (R) of Virginia sent supporters a letter expressing alarm that Rep. Keith Ellison (D) of Minnesota would take his ceremonial oath of office using a Koran.

Today's anti-Muslim sentiment is similar to American attitudes toward Japanese-Americans during World War II, says Jack Levin, a hate-speech expert at Northeastern University in Boston.

"You see more hostility towards Muslims now than you did the year after 9/11," says Shahed Amanullah, editor of a Muslim web-zine, AltMuslim.com. He and other observers point to America's failure to capture Osama bin Laden, the continuing difficulties in Iraq and Afghanistan, and news of terrorist plots overseas as reasons why many Americans feel hostile towards Muslims.

At least twice, anti-Muslim comments have gotten media personalities fired. The National Review magazine dropped columnist Ann Coulter shortly after 9/11. In 2005, WMAL in Washington, D.C., fired radio host Michael Graham for calling Islam a "terrorist organization."
