It might not surprise you, but another "free speech" hypocritical group called CAIR, Council on American-Islamic Relations, is trying to censor Michael Savage who apparently said some sentence or sentences that offended Muslims. Some people say, "So, what's the big deal? It doesn't affect me." And I say, "Oh yes it does!" If this group succeeds in censoring Michael Savage, they will censor others as well.

Some people think that, no matter what, the U.S. Constitution will not be changed, especially since the U.S. Congress is too busy fighting one another rather than managing the country. But I have news for them. It doesn't have to be changed. All it takes is one victory from CAIR to transfer free speech into censored speech. Fear is more powerful that people give it credit for. In fact, fear of this CAIR lawsuit has influenced me to write this document, which explains exactly what American people will lose if Michael Savage should lose.

If Michael Savage were to lose this CAIR lawsuit, it would create a shark effect, allowing other "free speech" hypocritical agencies to sue as well. This would cripple the talk radio business for investors or advertisers don't like risk (the idea of losing money), and they definitely don't like losing money either. So if Michael loses this fight, talk radio will become too risky for them. Meaning that it would be only a matter of time before all talk radio shows became extinct. Of course, this event would only signal the beginning of the free speech battle.

Wow, I thought I'd seen Slippery Slope arguments before, but *this* one takes the cake. That said, to hell with all the whining "somebody might be offended" cry-babies. As Mike often says, Free Speech (right or wrong, hateful or loving) is THE root of any "free" society.

You are CORRECT! Everyone should support Michael Savage and start listening to him, as well!

cont'd... but if his advertisers find it distasteful, hateful and downright disgusting they will shop elsewhere (which is their right, if you believe in democracy). Unbelievable! When you confront someone with what they said and it affects their bottom line, then you are labeled as a unpatriotic fascist that hates free speech. Look again and tell me who is the hypocrite facist here.

Give me a break. There is no censoring going on. Michael Savage is the one who is sueing CAIR because they (oh my god, this is the end of western civilisation as we know it) let his advertisers listen to what he has to say about Islam, Muslims and the Quran. If anything, they are promoting his show for Pete's sake :). All they are doing is letting the paying advertisers listen to the words that are coming out of Mike Savages mouth, and therefore could be associated with the products that they are selling. Then they ask the advertisers a simple question... DO YOU WANT YOUR PRODUCT(S) TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT THIS MAN IS SAYING? If they see no problem with 'his speech' he has nothing to worry about. If they do have a problem with it, they'll take their business elsewhere. Its called a free market economy. Get with the times. No one is forcing Mike Savage to stop raving and ranting about the evil of Islam, Muslims and the Quran. He can say whatever he wants to say,

We support free speech, of course. Isnt' there a different kind called hate speech though? Of course Savage tapes can be played and a jury can decide if the speech used by Mr Savage can lead to a hate crime or not?
