Should NYU faculty and their dependent children receive full tuition remission?
Earlier this year, Michael Savage, the third most popular radio talk show host in America, was placed on a list of people banned from entering Great Britain. Why? Because anyone who Jacqui Smith (Home Secretary at the time) said caused "inter-community tension" would be put on such a list. This list included Russian skinheads, murderers, terrorists and a conservative commentator. One of these doesn't fit.
Savage's radio show covers an eclectic range of subjects from politics to food. Unfortunately, far left organizations like Media Matters have taken excerpts of Savage's shows out of context and painted him as a hateful person. Yes, he is a conservative radio host, but the difference between Savage and commentators like Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity is that Savage doesn't pander to either party, and doesn't shed crocodile tears like Glenn Beck. His show is also independently syndicated and isn't on a payroll at CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS or Fox News. This might explain why the major networks gave the story scant coverage and why his competitors don't dare mention his name.
Several serious questions must be asked: How could a country like England, where Savage isn't syndicated, find out about him? And why would they put a radio commentator on this list? There are several hypotheses behind why Savage is banned from a supposed western democracy. The obvious theory is that the ideas Savage espouses are contradictory to recent government inclinations toward European internationalism. In other words, we should just become conglomerate entities, like the European Union, as opposed to nations. Another theory is that Smith needed to even out the list, because the majority of people on the list were predominately Muslim terrorists. So in a perverse effort at political correctness, she added Savage, who also happens to be Jewish. This could just be a coincidence, but there are plenty of other, more notable conservative talk show hosts: So why this one?
Savage is extreme at times and I don't agree with him on every issue, but Savage has been on the air three hours a day, five days a week for the past fifteen years. Now if you had an eclectic show centered around politics, you're telling me that you're not going to say a few things that might offend somebody? And even if you're offended by someone's words, wouldn't you defend their right to free speech? Imagine a country banning Bill Maher because he said things that happen to offend Catholics. It would be completely preposterous. Just as I watch a show like "Real Time with Bill Maher," I also listen to a show like "The Savage Nation," because one of the great things about this country is that we can hear both sides of the issues. To prohibit someone from coming to your land because they don't fall in line with your political philosophy is the antithesis of freedom.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his administration should be ashamed of themselves. The level of corruption combined with their fascistic tendencies is a disgusting display from a group of political hacks from such a great country. Fortunately, Mr. Brown looks like he will be losing by a landslide come the next election.
Cambridge University recently invited Savage to a debate on political correctness via video link, but canceled the invitation because the video link would have been too expensive to set up. It's hard to believe that the university couldn't have rustled up the cash, but such is the state of honest discourse. One debate with Savage probably would have led to a revolt against the already unpopular British government. You can go to michaelsavage.com to sign Savage's legal defense fund and help defend free speech. Keep in mind the words of Voltaire: "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

We're in agreement that people shouldn't be barred from entering free and democratic countries based on their stated beliefs, but you probably should have stopped short of arguing that Savage was "taken out of context," because that's ridiculous. What's the context that I'm missing here?

Here is what is being taken out of context. Savage was INSULTED by the caller first! Yeah, they bleeped that out thank you. I was glad Savage insulted the caller back. And what exactly is wrong or bigoted about telling the guy that sodomites get aids and die? Savage is pointing out that sodomites are treated with kid gloves and told they are just wonderful, when they need to be treated with brutal honesty, and told that they are killing themselves with their perverted lifestyle.

The ban on Savage was perfectly appropriate, and the pathetic claim that his vicious bigotry is "out of context" is cowardly and wrong. There is NO context under which Savage's despicable racism and bigotry can be excused. It's no surprise that the worthless term "Politically correct" appears, which is shown again to mean "hateful and harmful towards people I don't give a damn about."
This is not about politics. It's about hate, and Savage has earned his spot on this list with KKK leaders and others who promote hate.

Daddo, you have the left's talking points down pat. "Vicious bigotry," "promote hate," "despicable racism," etc., very rarely apply to conservatives. These juvenile, false accusations are entirely worn out and completely without merit in regards to Michael Savage. You either have never listened to Savage and are taking Media Matters lies at face value, or you're just a typical liberal who has no ears to hear what people are actually saying. So, instead of rational comment, you resort to mindless ad hominem insults. The ban on Michael Savage is dead-wrong coming from a western nation who is our ally.

The attempts to justify the banning of a person for their political speech are absolutely pathetic. If Britain was really worried about what people were saying, they wouldn't allow Muslims to march around the streets of London shouting "behead those who insult Islam."
The claims that Savage "promotes hate" with his "vicious bigotry" are small-minded at best. As any person with a sixth-grade eduction knows, the First Amendment was designed to protect both popular and unpopular speech. Remove yourself from your drug-induced haze and consider the precedent that eliminating someone's free speech sets.

It seems to be that some who have commented here say that savage, yet not a bad person to be banned from a country for what he has to say, can still be called a bigot for saying the things he says. You cannot have it both ways people. You cannot call the man out like the brits have done and then say there is nothing to talk about, because he happens to be a bigot!
In my own opinion, the man is not anywhere close to the other people on this list. The things he has to say are things the majority of Americans are thinking but are too afraid to get up and say because they are afraid the Obama Administration will send agents to their home with black hoods and take them away for speaking their mind. This is a free speech issue and we all know it. The sad thing is that England does not have to let their people speak their minds apparently, so throwing someone out of the country for doing it makes complete sense for them.
England is not infested with the rats that Savage talks about every day and I am sure he does not even want to go to England, why would he? To be attacked by the thousands of radical Islamists that crowd their country unaccounted for thanks to the European Union and their "compassionate" stance against those who would kill them if they had the chance?
Where are the leftists kooks from America on this list? Those of you who sit there and say Savage deserves this I would like to know why you are not crying foul when others in this country say worse things than savage and they are not on the list!
You think your side is right and they can say anything they want as long as you agree with them. This is America, and Savage can say what he wants and when he wants. As for England, I highly doubt they did this without help from the State Department, and if it is proven that our government was complicit in the actions of the Brits, I hope Savage sues them all and shows them for what they really are...TYRANNICAL FASCISTS!

Great Article. I'm an avid listener of Savage, and know this ongoing ban is ridiculous and unjust.
Although there is irony in NYU posting a pro-savage column, even after Savage routinely attacks NYU for being an overrated school full of trust fund liberals - even though there is much truth to such a statement.
But I also think it's equally mystifying as to why people still call Michael Savage a bigot and racist. People continually accuse him of these charges, but speak in the utmost generalities and abstractions. If you want to convince me he's a racist - GIVE ME SOUND BITES, QUOTES, ANYTHING. Stop making sweeping charges with absolutely no evidence.
Of course, on the other hand, he is a conservative - so he must be a racist.

I too am a Savage listener who does not agree with all that Savage has to say. The author points to the big thumb that rebels against shallow understanding of the political message and looks toward the implications that we face as Americans regardless of our race, creed, or color. Forget not, that radicals of the left warned against the watering down of our education so that we would no longer see that our freedoms were being stricken from us. Afterall, if everyone is blind how would anyone know that they were not able to see? Savage is not delivering a casual message and if you're a casual listener you will miss his deeper meaning which takes us all to task. Yes he does discriminate, he discriminates against us all. He takes us all to task for not developing our patriotic character as good and caring citizens of this great country.

I disagree with those who state that Savage is hateful. I've listened to him for many years, and he's not hateful. He is, however, angry at times. There is a distinct difference between anger and hate. Savage is angry about the insanity of unfettered illegal immigration and the atrocity of radical Islam, for example. But, as Savage says, free speech entitled to us by the Constitution isn't meant to protect polite speech; it's meant to protect offensive speech. Savage is entitled to speak out against issues including illegal immigration and radical Islam. If you don't like it then that's your problem. Opposing illegal immigration is not racist. Opposing radical Islam is not racist. I agree with Ian Nelson that groups like Media Matters take statements made by Savage out of context then use them against him. It's a classic tactic used to stir up opposition against a foe. When you see a "quote" by Savage just remember how simple it is to take statements out of context and twist the meaning. I wouldn't listen to Savage if he were hateful; I listen to him because he's a voice of logic and reason. Tell me, how is it logical that 1/3 of our prisons are made up of illegal immigrants? How is it logical that we continue to keep these criminals in our prisons paying for it with our tax dollars? How is it logical to let millions and millions of Mexicans enter our country illegally then let them - actually encourage them - to receive services and care from legal, tax paying U.S. Citizens? You think I'm racist don't you? If you do, it's because you are emotionally driven and illogical. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

As a regular lister of Michael Savage, and having read several of his books, I know what he has said and what he believes. To call this man a bigot, is a product of institutionalized ignorance. You've been taught to put down anyone who is an original thinker, anyone who goes against the grain. It is a poor commentary on your ability to articulate an opposing view without calling names. What you need to learn is that freedom only survives when intelligent people remain vigilant. That requires a working knowledge of the facts. Obviously, you aren't letting your deficiency in that regard prevent you from creating your own reality out of whole cloth. If you had a brain, you would argue against Savage on the merits of the specific issues. As it is, you are much more comfortable just calling him a bigot. He is not a bigot. Can you back up your assertion? No. Not with facts, anyway.

To claim Savage is 'hatefull' only proves one speaks of what one does not know. Disagreeing with a particular view does not make you correct and your opposition full of hate. To properly discuss political matters we need to stop reacting with infantil rhetoric. Remember, Savage is a talk show host, a great one at that, and at the end of the day any politician who is terrified of a radio host must have serious self doubt.

There is no one more infantile than Michael Savage. Also it is pretty infantile to misspell "infantile". You also haven't really made any actual arguments, just stating a bunch of premises that are easily contradicted by facts like that Savage thinks gays should die of AIDS and that all Muslims should be deported.
In the 1930s, politicians had good reason to be worried about Father Coughlin. Does this mean his views were valid or that he would have made a better politician than the leaders of that time?

Teach the children – Sheik’s vile lesson of hate
A GROUP founded by a Muslim extremist who encourages children to kill themselves for Allah plans to build a huge complex in Sydney to teach young people Islam.
In what it says is a world first, the Global Islamic Youth Centre is trying to raise more than $6 million to build a giant “prayer, learning and sporting” facility in Liverpool.
It has already raised $700,000 towards a $1m land purchase.
The organisation says it expects the local Muslim population to almost double to 20,000 in the next decade and notes that a third of the population is under 19.
Education in hate for ‘tender hearts’
It also says it wants to attract youth from across Sydney.
The GYIC was founded by Sheik Feiz Mohammad and others in 2000 to “cater for the physical, social, educational and religious needs, especially for the youth and the children, in accordance with the teachings of the Quran”.
Sheik Feiz remains the most prominent spiritual leader of the centre, which features a direct email link to him on its home page so students can “seek Islamic knowledge” from him.
However, the Sheik was exposed two years ago for having called on children to sacrifice themselves to Allah, describing Jews as “pigs” and calling non-believers “filth”.

Whoa. When did this site get invited by right-wing nutjobs? I can only assume that the references to "Obama's black-hooded thugs" are made by trolls. If they weren't I'd just like to remind everyone that under Bush, THERE WAS A WORLDWIDE NETWORK OF BLACK-HOODED THUGS THAT BROUGHT PEOPLE TO SECRET PRISONS TO BE TORTURED. This isn't a conspiracy theory it's an undisputed fact and a policy that someone like Savage would support.
I think it's pretty ironic that conservatives believe that international law should have no affect on American law, while arguing that we should force our version of how society and rights should work in Britain. FYI, there is no constitutional right to free speech in the UK. There is also no First Amendment anywhere except the US so it only applies here. While I don't think Savage should be banned, even though he is unambiguously bigoted (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAA2KxgqVvk where he tells someone he thinks is Gay to "get AIDS and die"), it is their country and they can allow in whoever they want. This is a principle Savage would agree with. It is the height of hypocrisy for a man who believes that all Muslims should be deported from America to complain about not being welcome in another country. Shouldn't he being willing to expect similar treatment?

You're clearly a product of our terrible public schools or more likely Mexico, you dumb muslim towelheaded webback. I have no idea what you are trying to say. And if you think I'm a dumb bigot, you must be some sort of faggot who will get AIDS and die. But before you do that, rewrote your post so someone can understand it. I'm not surprised your employees condescend to you because you're clearly a class-A American hating moron</michaelsavage>
How could this NOT come off as bigoted? This is basically what he says on air everyday. There has to be some line where people stop saying "Oh he's just being politically incorrect, and not, you know, a huge racist jackass that has zero place in any kid of intelligent discourse". According to conservatives, I guess that line is only crossed when someone uses the N-word or anytime liberals talk about race?
And re: the UK, yes I agree there is less freedom there. But that's something Michael Savage would admire. This is a guy who wants Curb Your Enthusiasm to be taken off HBO because it's offensive to Jews and Christians.

I'm just not surprised by it and it's hypocritical for a guy who doesn't think Muslims should be in the country or Curb Your Enthusiasm should be on TV to be complaining about not being allowed somewhere and a lack of freedom of speech.
Also, Andrea? Seriously? Has Savage rotted your brain that much? Can you not come up with any good insults? Maybe you should have gone to NYU; Writing the Essay would have taught you how to string a sentence together. Also, pointing out that I'm not calling you out "man2man" (sounds like the kind of craigslist ads you're familiar with) ANONYMOUSLY, ON THE INTERNET is probably the weakest burn imaginable.

Speaking of picking and choosing your facts to suit your argument. I'd say you're quite good at doing that.
While England allows the most vile, bitter, hateful, supremacist speech from any and all Islamists England bans the likes of Micahel Savage, Geert Wilders, and many others "in the right" side of the political spectrum. It seems to liberals would rather cozy up to Islamists than to admit they might be wrong and risk their political future.
In any case I thought the following video was both delightful and deadly serious while the same time relevant to some of the comments found here.

Ian! You did great on the radio! We were proud to hear you on Savage's program. Your article is a very good thing, as you are standing up, not just for Savage and our First Amendment rights, but for the whole United States of America. You rightly recognize the dangers of the globalists and their evil designs on our country and the world. I know you are in a den of liberalism, but don't ever let go of your principles, and always stand up for what you know is right. God bless you.

I grew up in England left at 25 years old to come here , the US of A.
A lot of people and perhaps Mike too , don't get what just happened. When the Brit. upper crust want to keep someone out of the game , they do so with a vengeance.
Combined with an inbuilt hatred of America and a spine made of Maoist and Marxist bilge , the upper crust Brits can't handle a man who is anti communist and anti Islamofascist.
Mike represents freedom and freedom of speech at that , which the Brit. upper crust fear more than anything else.
Even his sexist humors will not win them over , he assumes , as many Americans do , that he may say whatever he likes , whenever he wishes. In England this is regarded as just pure evil.
To succeed in England one must bow down to the bosses , follow all of the rules and speak only when spoken to. He did the opposite. They will now go out of their way to block his every move. On both sides of the pond.
He remains a hero of mine despite his sexist spiritual limp.
25 years there 32 years here.

You've neglected to report the government e-mails about "balancing" their banned list.

It is sad for our democracy that the only course MS has is through the courts...
Has this country lost its undeerstanding of democracy and freedom.
