    I'll admit I don't know much about these kind of lawsuits and have no knowledge of the questioned group.

    But calling the Koran the "hateful little book" is inflammatory and unjustified and serves no purpose other than to breed more animosity. I wonder if he's read it?

    But this country is built on free speech so he can say it but also I don't have to like it.

      Keep in mind, this is the same idiot who told a gay man "I hope you get AIDS and die," on the air, and then actually fought to keep his job. That didn't work out too well.

    Interesting... What does this say about Savage? Quite a bit actually. But, Sears, AT&T and Wal-Mart's actions speak louder than words. Money talks and walks. Bullsh-t just rants and rages on talk radio.

      Savage reminds me of a right wing version of Air America.

      No matter what Savage (or anyone else) said about Islam the US is a free country where people have freedom of speech.

      This reminds me that Iran and the Arab states are also somewhat "free". Of course, no one can say anything bad about Islam there but everyone can say anything bad about the Jews and Israel... and no "Jewish rights group" will sue them for doing it.

        "everyone can say anything bad about the Jews and Israel"

        That was before now no one can. Which I totally agree with.

        In my country I can't say anything "bad" about any other religion or faith not just Islam.

        If "freedom of speech" will make people say anything they want about religion and faith of people then I don't want this kind of "freedom of speech" in my country, whats the point of it if it will only increase the hate between the people.

        Yes you can criticize but not attack and saying the same things savage said.

        "savage" this is what he is.

        "US is a free country where people have freedom of speech."

        So CAIR also have the right of doing what they did, which is to call for an advertising boycott, right ?

          Did you know Savage's born name? He was born as Michael Wiener. I am serious...Wiener was his last name and he changed it to Savage. He is still a punk no matter what.

            Savage is more than that. He is paid to promote hate propaganda that keeps you from thinking about zionist crimes against humanity.

            Michael Alan Weiner

            He is a Russian Jew who calls himself Michael Savage on his radio show. His technique is to yell, insult, and intimidate. ...

            And it is not only CAIR that has been calling for companies to stop supporting him with propaganda.

            Michael Savage's Hate Speech Catches Up With Him

            Major firms are pulling their advertising from Savage's radio show following a campaign highlighting his inflammatory rhetoric.....

            Savage sued the Council on American-Islamic Relations in December after the organization posted excerpts from an Oct. 29 broadcast in which he called the Quran a "hateful little book ... a document of slavery" and said, "I don't want to hear one more word about Islam. Take your religion and shove it."

            These kind of people are found mainly in the US, Europe and Britain. The Zionist media want to vilify their governments' oppressive policies towards Islam and Muslims, that is the only way they can survive. I come across hundreds of thousands of people who do not like the word Islam because we are not ready to hand over Palestine to the Zionists or allow Western occupiers in our land in exchange for their so called freedom and Democracy, which is corrupt and immoral and that's not to justify the despotic regimes which are supported by the Western world, they are equally bad or worse.

              Michael Wiener (lately changed to Michael Savage) can p i s s out his brain!! all he wants..but somebody has to remind this little human that "if you can dish it out...you gotta be able to take some too...: What CAIR did was legal and within their rights as defined by law. CAIR tried to make Michael Wieners's life a living hell by using legal system...nothing wrong about that..CAIR did not take his freedom of speech away...CAIR basically said ..Listen bastard , you pick a fight you pay...But then again Savage has the right to sue CAIR and the courts decide if his rants are legitimate or not. I think Michale Wiener was under the impression that all public including the courts are as dumb as his die hard audience. His dumb a s s die hard audience I am sure have an orgasm every time Savage does a little brain masturbation on the air..:)

                Savage is going to lose this lawsuit because the people he's dealing with can simply make billionaires out of the judge and jury to go against him. Petro dollars RULE!

                  The big mistake of Michael Savage, is that he believes there is radical Islam and peaceful Islam. But, from what I can tell, the only kind of peaceful Islam is due to those Muslims who haven't come upon 9:1-5, and 9:29, to name just a few.

                    Michael Weiner (currently Savage) is just another Jewish extremist who is trying to fight his religious war with American money, blood and resources. His rants against immigrants, borders, Mexicans and ...is just to establish himself as an American conservative ...all those rants are just a front for a person who lives by the satanic verses and teachings of Talmud, the Jewish book of religious laws that sanctions incest, pedophilia, stoning to death of a three year old girl just because she was raped by a Jew...Savage is just another Jewish extremist, like those Jewish extremists who hoodwinked America into this bloodbath in Iraq , people like

                    > One observation I can not escape is the fact that Michael Weiner (Savage) just like many Islam haters and Islam phobics happens to be Jewish. I wonder how many of his listeners are aware of this.

                    Are you trying to say that other people who happen to be Jewish are somehow responsible for his actions?

                    If so please recall the fact that Osama Bin Laden just like many other Jew haters and Judofobes happens to be an Arab Muslim...

                    > I would bet all my money that Michael Weiner(Savage) is another Israeli firster who would sacrifice America for Israel in a heart beat....

                    ...and I would bet all my money that Wasntme (Mohammad Ali Mustafa) is another Arab firster who would sacrifice America for Syria much faster.

                      Typical zionist propaganda again thinker? Time to put an end to the last of the racist east european totalitarianisms (nazism, stalinism, zionism).

                      Two-State Dreamers

                      Do No Evil รข;; If one state in Palestine is impossible, why is Olmert so afraid of it? Stop distracting with unworkable two state solutions and channel effort into discrediting Israel as a Jewish state, and the ideology of Zionism that upholds it. Then the one state solution that best serves jews, christians and moslems will happen.

                        "I would bet all my money that Wasntme (Mohammad Ali Mustafa) is another Arab ..." Is that supposed to be who I am, Mohammad Ali Mustafa? I think you are losing it kid.

                        You will never see me defending mass murderers and despicable human beings such as Bin Laden, Zarqawi, Saddam Hosein, Sharon, Shamir, Begin, Olmert, ...Muslims did not vote for Bin Laden but Israelis voted for the massacre.Inc Sharon, not once but twice. I also know few apologist who defend mass murderers such as Sharon, Begin, ...one of them uses a screen name Thinker22. Could that be you ? !

                        Michael Savage is just another Jewish extremist who wants to fight his religious war using American money, blood and resources. All his rants against Mexicans, border, immigrants and ....is just a front to establish himself as an American conservative...no...he is just a Jewish extremist who would sacrifice GENTILE America for Israel in a heart beat.
