Michael Savage in Phone Interview with Sky News Regarding UK Ban - May 6, 2009

[reefergladness]

it's the core values of language, borders and culture that england is so afraid of.. for they have forfeited these tenets for the almighty god of 'tolerance'

[NYYROCK]

lol UK is disgusting... WAIT I WAS KIDDING DONT BAN ME I NEED YOUR HEALTHCARE

[Malarkey31]

Only a nazi would ban Savage from Britian.

[ashleelmb]

I agree with Savage. I agree that freedom of speech is almost dead in this country and if I was him I wouldnt bother coming to england either. This countrys social ideology sucks.

[colonyvice]

SAVAGE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fdsajklj]

lol medical care

[piro6220]

last time i checked he was no longer banned. although, i don't agree with banning anybody from the UK as an easy solution to not offending people. whats with all the anti-european bashing? as a remainer the USA is not without its freedom of speech/human rights issues like getmo, the patriot act and Mccarthyism.

[rickygalin]

HEY! American here :) first, i understand why yall (Texan also) would ban this man. Fox news is a joke at ALL universities (here a decent education is not as valued as much as it is in Europe, at least that's what I've found)and this Mr. Savage is the typical voice of some very off putting views. The Idea behind their "NEWS" is that "If you cant make a good argument make it a passion one"

[Gwenlj]

Savage Nation Rules!

[polos505]

Britain doesn't need a moron like Savage.

[prooc]

It doesn't need people with a descenting opinion according to sheep like you.  The UK is a police state filled with weak lemmings.

[theguvnorjimmy]

Oh really? Then why are war criminals from Africa, Muslim extremists etc etc not only allowed in, but are also allowed to claim benefits while hating this country???

[kukinkvakin01]

you only say this because youre an ignorant fuckhead, nobody told you so i told you, yes you are

[polos505]

What did you said?

[gonzo361]

so this is the biggest threat to the british the rise of a conservative voice.

[1Batt]

Looks as though the English have it all backwards again! BTW,why with years of liberalism at the helm is your country sooooo broke beyond broke might I say? Possibly from liberal scandals in your government maybe?? Why cant you just politely disagree like normal people.Like our English forefathers did in the good spirit of debating a topic? Is this what you learned at pulic school there you ignorant heathens?

[theguvnorjimmy]

I am a big Savage fan and I am from England. What you fail to realise is that the situation in the US is the same. It is not even Britain that was behind this banning. The strings were being pulled from Washington, which Michael Savages knows and admits.

[robocong7420]

@theguvnorjimmy

idont see a huge problem with the UK banning this turd. he's a venomous spider who's used to debating from behind his mute button then turn around and cry like a bitch when someone else won't allow HIM to be heard. why any european would want a pussy like that in their country, i'll never know

[theguvnorjimmy]

Well then explain to me why Muslim extremists are not only allowed to preach hatred about killing Christians and Jews, the infidel, but are allowed to stay here on benefits. Michael Savage would destroy you in a debate as you are either a Muslim extremists or a fag liberal. Which one is it?

[robocong7420]

@theguvnorjimmy

savage has no debate skills that's why he hides behind his mute button, dummy. didn't your mommy ever teach you that "debating" is more than pressing a mute button and then screaming like a maniac??

[theguvnorjimmy]

lol you're funny. Show me a radio host that does not use the mute button. Try not to mention the jihadist Galloway as that would be a LOL. I shall take the place of Savage here. I noticed you failed to respond to the issue of people like Anjem Choudary on benefits. Back to you....

[robocong7420]

@theguvnorjimmy

have you actually listened to the man's show? He's a predictable pussy:

1) Caller speaks, savage senses a hint of dissent, and tirade immediately begins.

2) Savage mutes caller, and screams insulting sarcastic question

3) savage unmutes caller and allows caller 2 syllables of response then re-mutes caller

4) Savage then repeats sequence 2-3 more times then hangs up claiming to have won the "debate".

and you're impressed by his "debate" skills lmfao

[dagooseapimp]

@robocong7420 yea he does that, but the better ones is when he lets them talk and makes them an even bigger dumbass, and still wins the debate. Listen to those, they are all over youtube.

[robocong7420]

@dagooseapimp

It's just like Michael Savage says, never let the caller take control of the show, i.e. if the caller's more intelligent than you and has a better argument, put them on mute, then scream like a maniac and hang up on them. Then your audience will think you won the "debate"

[Graham6762]

how dare they ban him he is not racist

[dualaroma]

come on chap,, we will control all of you so get bloody over it. We need world order and you stupid americans stand in our way, so bloody get over it, be come like us chaps and you will see.

why's that then Mr Russia?

[serendipityuk]

Why does this cunt keep talking about a useless fucking american law "1st amendment". This is the UK you insulate twat.

[Bighairyfart]

exactly

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

you are a disgrace! to our country!!!

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

you two fucking idiots below me are a perfect example of ones that would have their throat cut instead of put up a fight! YOU FUCKING STUPID ASS IDIOTS WOULD BE THE FIRST, TO HAVE THEIR THROATS CUT! AND HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER THROWN DOWN A WELL WHILE THEY CHANT TO ALA YOU FUCKING LIBERAL PUSSY'S!!!

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

he means he was raised to hate immorality you FUCKING MORON! quit taking quotes and taking them out of context you FUCKING DICK BRAIN LIBERAL IDIOT !!!

[witchwild]

weiner admits in his books, to quote him: "I was raised on neglect, anger & hate". I almost feel sorry for this angry little man now. If you only know anger & hatred in your childhood then you project that anger onto others to make yourself feel better. (Same as school bullies do.) The only way he can feel good about himself is by demeaning others. Makes sense. Poor sod. He needs some cognitive therapy to get some self-worth. It's not possible to hate others if you don't first hate yourself.

[beltanebabe55]

Totally agree with you witchwild. I spent years working with kids that had those issues. They very often projected their anger onto me, untill they understood and then their attitude changed because they had learned that they were worth loving and they then knew how to love others. This Savage man has never learned how to love himself and so he hates as a defensive mechanism, it's so sad. He is just a bully that craves love.

[ENDEUARABIA]

Uk anti-Democratic anti-free speech Labour party

banned from the Uk for speaking his mind

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

as far as Micheal Savage goes and his views, he is not one Man, their are Millions and Millions of Savages and Savajets! LET THAT BE KNOWN, IT IS A FACT! AND NOTHING IS EVER GONNA CHANGE THAT! EVER!!!

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

the people who listen to Micheal Savage don't develop his views, THEY ALREADY HAVE HIS VIEWS TO BEGIN WITH! THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT MICHEAL, HE IS JUST REPORTING WHAT 70% OF AMERICA ALREADY BELIEVE FOR THEMSELVES TO BE TRUE! AND HE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! ABOUT EVERYTHING HE SAYS!

[lonovik]

If 70% Americans think like savage than they would have not elected a Muslim Hussein Obama as their president.

[beltanebabe55]

President Obama is not a moslem, and I defy you to prove me wrong. The point is, even if he was, isn't America a free country? Doesn't that mean that you don't have to be a white born again christian to have your say? Doesn't that mean that anyone can be president of the USA if they are a natural American? If not why are you calling youself a democracy? Please ask youself these questions.

[Cheshirecatmeow1]

70%?

Then how the hell did President Obama get elected?

[beltanebabe55]

Thats scary

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

lol, these idiots are acting like Micheal Savage is the only one who has his views! what they don't realize, is that 70% of our great nation have the same views as Micheal does! YOU FUCKING MORONS!

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

MICHEAL SAVAGE FUCKING RULES! =]

[MrSplurgy]

Dear higgolini,

Why do you consider homosexuality to be a perversion?

[smowkdaddy]

If I answer will you ban me?

[srbchicago]

Smartest man in whole world Michael Savage!

[FranklyMisterShankly]

Savage/Weiner: I have never avowed violence in my 15 years on the radio:

Savage /Weiner on April 17 2006:

"...the weakness that America is showing to these psychotics in the Muslim world. They say, Oh, theres a billion of them. I said, So, kill 100 million of them, then thered be 900 million of them.

[EarnestBergholt]

I just mailed my application to vote by post from overseas, and I strongly encourage all freedom loving British citizens living abroad to do the same. You all know who to vote for.

[DarthNyelus]

He's a two faced hipocrite! He's doing the same thing here, that he does on his show! Talks shit about every counrty, and minority group, then when a person calls in from lets say... Mexico, he's backs down, "oh, I love the Mexican people and their culture! What a two-faced shit! He's doing the samething here! "Oh, I have always admired the people of Enlgland!" He has never said anything positive about England! Don't be fooled Brits!

[centerM87]

BarfNye, you have never listened to his show. You are one of those lame wads that parrots what you heard from people that truly talk shit. You don't think for yourself so that makes you a useless idiot. Don't listen to Barfneelus Brits!

[arthurwmacalpine]

@DarthNyelus Its been one year since Michael Savage's name was smeared by the Adult Film Boss Jacqui Smith. Michael Savage has said very good things about Britain and honorable men like Winston Churchill. But he has been critical of the weak men like you who's Socialist policies have turned England into a nation of beaten men, and its economy into one as bad as Greece's.

[dagooseapimp]

@DarthNyelus Hey I listen to his show, and I have 1) heard him throw down on a mexican about mexico quite a few times, also with anyother country. He states what he likes and what he doen't like. He is human afterall ya know. 2) Listenin to his show I have heard him say things positive about England, really he didn't start bashing UK untill he was banned. If ya don't believe me just youtube it buddy.

[gmcjetpilot]

I tried to listen to MS stuff on youtube just now to see what it was all about. I agree with a few of his opinions but never agrees with how he says it. As far as the UK ban I don't see it. UK should specifically state what he said and why it is being banned. Than if they don't we should ban Brits.

[faro0485]

Why is Michael Savage being so "nice" on sky?

[soolgold]

Hitler Wrote books! There was genecide committed in Iraq an innocent nation was destroyed because hatefull radio and TV people who day and night promoted the massacre of Iraq, desiminating lie Britinia refuse to allow this hateful creature in the their homes. It is their right whom they'll allow in their country or not. No one is taking his right to free speech. But no one wants Genecide Maniacs like Savage! he is Savage as his name sugests, he does not understand his hate speech is not welcome.

[faro0485]

Michael Alan Weiner should use his real name.

[Thebboss]

Try again, that's not how you spell genocide.

[soolgold]

As long as you understood what Genocide /genecide/ginocide means that is, I do not give a rats hairy behind how to spell it. get the point and move on, you pointless person

[Thebboss]

Your point is moot. I did that because your entire argument was a fallacy and to go easy on you I only critiqued your spelling.

[Averyofthemain]

INNOCENT! They violated the cease fire twenty times and we did nothing, we were in full rights! Innocent, to hell with you muslim sympathizers and traitors.

[cloudberry121]

I'm a delicate flower and must be saved from Michael Savages thoughts. They frighten and overwhelm me. Help!

Meanwhile Jacqui Smith and her husband are still watching pay-per-view male gay porn on the British taxpayer's dime.

[OsamaBeenFartin]

I like how he uses his soft & civilized voice for this interview! Why don't they confront him with some audio clips from his own show, when he's yelling, and screaming, demanding that muslims, and illigal imigrants be rounded up and thrown into internment camps! Or one of his rants where he says that autism is a fake illness, and these kids are really just out of control brats! Anytime somebody speaks out against the idiot, he threatens to sue,! Ha! The case then usually gets thrown out!

[cloudberry121]

I'm so scared of his voice I hide under the bed. Oh please protect us from Michael Savage thought control!

[SamFreedom]

moron, you're incapable of comprehending that he is more polite on others shows because it is appropriate to do so.  If, however, one of them insults him, then he is not as polite as in the NPR interview. But who could expect a weekend hack like yourself to actually research before jamming his foot down his throat.

[cdubMRA]

Mr. Savage is a modern day Paul Revere.

"The new fascism won't say: I am the facism. It will say: I am the anti-facism."

-Ignazio Silone

I don't like what Liberals have to say, but I am not willing to ban their ability to speak their mind. This is disgraceful, and it had to have come from someone in the US to the UK. Problem is this will backfire on these clowns in Britian.

[SamFreedom]

Exactly.. in fact, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Allowing liberals to speak their views allows the majority mainstream to realize how profoundly fucking stupid, contradictory and self-destructive they are...

[OsamaBeenFartin]

Yeah, Yeah....Savage would have been a great Minister of Propaganda for Hitler, since he has this serious obsession with Nazi Germany. All you robots who listen to his show and believe everything this "Doctor" says! Doctor my ass! Some off the wall Berkley degree in plants, and shrubs! Big deal! I listen because I need a good laugh at the end of the day! Hurry hide your guns, Obama's coming for them! ha, ha!

[higgolini]

obsession with Nazi Germany? What are you talking about? I listen to him all the time and if he does ever happen to talk about "Nazi Germany" its only ever in disdain. His parents were Russian Jewish immigrants by the way. I guess the old definition of a racist holds true again: a conservative winning an argument.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

he says sodomite and pervert (ref to gays) like twenty times in every single show. he would never have made his fortune if it weren't for his willingness to sell bigotry. i don't think i have to explain the irony of his cohorts whining that the UK isn't applying their freedom of speech laws to him what with noncitizen status. plus the cutting off his callers. maybe the callers should sue him for violating the US constitution.

[higgolini]

"he says sodomite and pervert like twenty times in every single show"

So now you've reduced yourself to blatant lies in order to smear him? And homosexuality IS a perversion for the record. Is it now illegal to state the truth?

[d3p3ch3mod3]

He refers to gays as sodomites and perverts at least once almost every single show. If you think that's a lie then it's probably because *you* haven't listened to this show.

"Is it now illegal to state the truth?"

The UK did not charge Mr. Weiner with any crimes. He is not a "free speech martyr" OR a citizen of the UK

[lexaeus88]

@d3p3ch3mod3 He's against sin, you moron.

[astrolifter]

@d3p3ch3mod3 Its his radio show fuckwad, he can cut them off all he wants.

[SamFreedom]

Funny you should suggest hate when you reference Hitler and propaganda. You aren't objective enough to see that your message is as hateful as anything. Look at your attempt to ridicule and calling people robots, as if you're above the din of daily mechanical life.

If you want to discuss some of the views expressed on the Savage Nation and why, or why not, you believe they are right or wrong, let's have a little go at it.

But, if you wish to remain a hypocrite, using hate yourself go ahead

[centerM87]

Obamabeenlootin, You were a poor miserable caller once weren't you. He must have exposed your mental illness of higher than thou, right? He must have hurt your feeeelings. Your ignorant view point didn't maaatter did it? Any listener would quickly see you are a misguided little twerp

[2br2br2]

The Federal Reserve....is not Federal. It's owned by the Illuminati...it's a business to which you pay your taxes!

Income tax....is illegal...study the law!

10 trillion dollars you gladly give away in the name of Obama....and he lovingly hands it over to the Illuminati...Ha ha ha!

Illuminati backs Obama...all the way!

Obama is your glorified...New Bush!

[poindexterwitkowsky]

Mr.Michael "Savage" Weiner the UK , a sovereign nation, prohibited you from entering becauseit is in the best interest of it's citizens. If it does not want you within it's BORDERS, please be prudent. If it does not want you to taint it's LANGUAGE please let it be. If it does not want you to affect it's CULTURE don't let them down. And please stop comparing yourself to Winston Churchill because Mr. Weiner you''re no Winston Churchill.

[PeeFinster]

The UK is mostly a Liberal Satanic Nation.

People of America wake up..Shutting people up like Savage is coming to the States! Obama is signing a bill that will criminalize anyone (Pastors) that speaks oout against any type of sexual perverson i.e. homosexuality. (YEAH I said it, homosexuality is a perversion).

[rddaos]

@PeeFinster

the thing is that Savage is no fan of free speech. he hides behind his call screener and mute button. he cant actually debate. the UK merely did the same thing savage does to his callers, they put him on mute.

[tommy3lions]

It's nothing to do with England, smith is the home seceratary of britain, England has no voice. However surely this ridiculous decision will be overturned. Mike can visit me in England anytime and I will take him to my local pub and chip shop.

[Wardak35]

I am excited that Michael Savage is listed with the KKK group. He is supporting the KKK cause. I admire the Home Secretary for taking such action against the KKK leader (Micheal Savage)

[ElroyalKing]

KKK leader?? --- You are an IDIOT!!! Get out of here - MORON

[mitenpat]

Wow! What a moron.

[SeekerNLife]

This leftist Home Secretary is abusing her power and is trying to silence anyone who disagrees with her views.

She is making an example of Michael Savage...to discourage anyone in the UK from speaking out against her views.

We have the same thing going on here in the US now with the control freaks in the Obama adminstration.

[trent730]

Michael Savage is not a terrorist. He is a passionate New Yorker that will not take it anymore and he has the right to say what he thinks. The USA and the UK have seen better days in terms of leadership. Chaimberlain part II is obama. We need Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher again. All bet he is more down to earth than many people that are in the media. He reminds me of my late grandmother that would say what was on her mind. God Bless Him!!!

[Jakeyboy5460]

Someone needs to remind Savage that the American First Amendment has no power on the soil of another sovereign nation.

[CRAPCANNONS]

Jakeyboy5460 = nu labour human suppository

[eli4777]

Michael Savage tells it like it is and everyone knows it!  I love England and hope they wake up to the truth...

[S0vereignty]

You can't really blame the British for something that was obviously beyond their control.

[eli4777]

Oh I agree with you :)

[InuzukaCds]

We need to stand behind him, I don't know what we can do as of right now, but as far as I'm concerned this country is falling apart, and we need to do all we can to hold it up.

[TheSavageisgreat]

Michael Savage remember when you you had the song There's no England anymore and drunk sluts sitting on the ground showing their bits. I think 1 of them was Sue Smiths daughter. I think I am just banned from entering Enland as well. Oh WELL....lol

[GozieBoy]

Savage will run rings around this lunatic. You might not like all that he says, but it has logic, and it certainly does NOT advocate any form of violence. I can't wait until this civil trial begins...

[endoftimeisnear]

obot administration launched the hate, they are trying to get rid of the 1st amendment, your free speech. Oh you offend me and now you have to go to jail or punished by stoning you...

[opinion56]

Haha he makes fun of the communist healthcare right in front of him

[TheSavageisgreat]

That British reporter is the most arrogant asshole I have seen on T.V. When he asked what will you get out this self satisfaction. That reporter probably satisfies himself all the time.

[CHEWDwivTHEinCrowd]

This guy is far too full of his own self importance. He is advocating all Americans boycott UK & our goods. THIS IS OFFENSIVE TO ALL OUR TROOPS WHO STAND SIDE BY SIDE IN AFGHAN RIGHT NOW TODAY, LOOSING LIMBS AND LIVES SUPPORTING USA. ... Also he is ignorant fgs THIS IS UK, how can a man that considers himself educated refer to UK as England. He lets intelligent Americans down. He gains status merely by bullying others and putting them down. He's NOT typical of Americans, he's obnoxious & nasty.

[LandofDaFree]

Britain is a western democracy, our closest ally and ostensibly a free country. The only thing that is preventing this type of thing from happening here is our Constitution.

But that doesn't mean the government won't try.

[Aanthanur]

I love Savage, don't agree with anything he says, but his hate speaches are amusing if you actually not buy into his propaganda and his bigot world view.

Banning him is nonsence, gave him far more mediaattention than he would have had otherwise.

[GodIsReal101]

Well to answer the title why would a liberal media mention their hatred for the right on their channel. They are filled with hate. This is just the start of what will come from the left.. The gloves are off with them they smell blood and are on the attack.

[ninjacup]

I love Savage, don't agree w/everything he says but isn't that normal? Savage has every right to sue, I was totally shocked to see the group he was lumped in with. Talk about the thought police!

[computerpurple]

I wonder what stage of development is this law suit is at?.

[chattingcat]

Behind you all the way, Michael Savage!! I hope you can sue and your suit is successful. This is such BS!!

[dawoool]

This is just like banning a book. It always results in skyrocketing sales. People want to see what the fuss is all about. This has been the best publicity Savage could ever hope for.

[drdawkins87]

Savage is clearly a complete dickhead. He gets 10 million listeners? Just shows how inbred and stupid the yanks really are.

He shouldn't be banned, not should anyone, unless he wants to earn a living here. He can come to visit though, surely? Perhaps Jaqui Smith has lost the plot...

[DJKoolHerc]

We're stupid really? I was just thinking how the muppets in the labour party are leading you lot astray!

Think about how poorly thought out this was for 1 second.

They try to go about shaming a person by putting him on a list; effectively shining a spotlight on & handing him a microphone to ridicule them back.

Stupid? Savage authored 18 books, holds a PhD in medical botany & medical anthropology, spent decades in the rainforest, the subject of most his books. Hardly stupid, nice try doc.

[CRAPCANNONS]

drdawkins87

"Just shows how inbred and stupid the yanks really are."

That sounds rather like hate-speech, generalizing 350 million people, wouldn't you agree? I doubt you would permit yourself such liberty of expression with your more `sensitive' Asian population, and certainly not in person.

A double-standard + cowardice = nu labour indoctrination

congratulations drdawkins87. you win a doggy treat.

[CRAPCANNONS]

drdawkins87

cut and run like a eunuch toy poodle.

typical.

[1FootNtheGrave]

I hope Savage cleans her CLOCK!

[bluewhale18]

Also, before this banned list was published I had never heard of this guy Michael Savage

Now I'm fascinated by his show, it's entertaining and informative.

Thanks jacqui smith

[bulabula1]

Michael Savage dose not need the attention he has one of the top radio shows in the U.S. so he has nothing to gain but from the looks & sounds of England's actions they have surrendered they're countryman's rights to even have free speech anymore, when your monarch has stripped you of all your rights don't come knocking on Americas doorstep to bail you out because we're not going to do this time around, when will you all ever learn!

[yury2268]

I predict a rise of Savage listeners in the UK

[DJKoolHerc]

haha I agree -- that list really met labour's objectives LOL

Everything they do backfires. Those pictures of Gordon Brown behind a Nazi back drop display a complete lack of common sense on Brown's part and make me wonder if he is non compos mentis.

What a disaster labour has been; I follow as a casual observer stateside but even I see that Brown and Jacqui Smith are completely out of their depth.

[bluewhale18]

I'm with Savage on this one

The UK is pc mad

[Lightf00t1]

You go Savage! I agree with everything you say. Bring Jacqui Smith to her knees.
