Michael Savage Vs. CAIR

LOL. Michael Savage, is one "conservative" talk radio host I have actually listened to because his show used to be on when I drove home from work. Mainly I blast music, but every once in a while I'd listen to the guy. He kinda made me cringe; only as a good Californian would when confronted with vulgar displays of anti-PCBS.

I probably have only listened maybe 6 or 7 times. But I did find myself kinda agreeing with him on many occasions. He does kinda tell it like it is, and that, I just can't resist.

Sooooo... anyway......there's this:
"Michael Savage has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the Council on Islamic-American Relations, and has accused the organization of being a "political vehicle of international terrorism" that seeks to do "material harm to those voices who speak against the violent agenda of CAIR's clients."

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in California, seeks damages equal to the ongoing donations from CAIR supporters "who expect CAIR to act in this manner in exchange for continuing financial support" as well as "actual damages according to proof."

A spokesman for Savage indicated the top-rated talk show host would have no further comment, saying the text of the lawsuit itself would answer questions.

The focal point of the lawsuit is a series of audio clips CAIR has been using in its promotions and fundraising efforts.

Those comments from Savage's show include his criticisms of Islam and Muslims, including:

"I'm not gonna put my wife in a hijab. And I'm not gonna put my daughter in a burqa. And I'm not getting' on my all-fours and braying to Mecca. And you could drop dead if you don't like it. You can shove it up your pipe. I don't wanna hear any more about Islam. I don't wanna hear one more word about Islam. Take your religion and shove it up your behind. I'm sick of you."


But the lawsuit maintains such comments, taken in context, are Savage's verbal expression of the feelings of many Americans."

Can't say I don't agree here.
