(below) "I agree with Michael Savage and listen every day when I can. He is the only one standing up for the rest of. Free speech is in jeopardy when you have organizations such as the ACLU and CAIR. I want my country back. CAIR represents a very dangerous group. They do not believe in anyone else having the right to worship as they choose. They are a threat to the American way of life!" ('CAIR Targets Another Conservative Talk Show Host,' November 9) Carley M. Las Vegas, NV "I want to know why the reporters and journalists don't investigate CAIR as to why they are manipulating the U.S. media. What is the media waiting on? Are you just going to lie down on this issue? CAIR seems to really be worried about Michael Savage. Why? ... Is the media really afraid of CAIR? ..." Judy W. Fayetteville, GA "I totally agree with Mr. Savage when he outs CAIR and their efforts to destroy the Constitution and this country. They must be stopped." Frank L. Garner, NC "I would like to thank whomever is responsible for getting this information in front of the American people where it belongs. In this time of politically correct neutering of the media, it is refreshing to see that there are still some that are not afraid to stand up and speak the truth without fear of offending some small portion of the population. It is imperative that there remains a section of the media that does not cower in the face of those that seek to cripple this nation with our own desire to make it a safe haven for all. ..." Steve B. Cascade, MT "What the hell is this country doing? We're bowing down to a bunch of nuts trying to change our way of living? I'm from Italian immigrants who legally came into this country. We did not try to change the United States to our way. We adapted to the United States, and we never threaten to cut anyone's head off! I will not buy any products from any company who takes their advertisement off a show because we still have freedom of speech! Advertisers, listen up! You stop advertising, and the American people will stop buying!" Dan L. Saratoga Springs, NY CAIR Targets Another Conservative Talk Show Host By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Senior Editor November 09, 2007 http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200711/NAT2007110 9b.html (CNSNews.com) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is pressing advertisers to withdraw their sponsorship of Michael Savage's nationally syndicated radio program because of Savage's alleged "anti-Muslim bigotry." Savage, on his Web site, is fighting back, urging his listeners to protect freedom of speech: "Email your representative; investigate CAIR for manipulating the U.S. media," his Web site says. On Nov. 1, CAIR urged "radio listeners of all faiths" to contact companies that advertise on "The Savage Nation" to complain about an "anti-Muslim tirade" on Savage's Oct. 29 program. (CAIR periodically issues "incitement alerts," urging its members to contact various media outlets to express their concerns about "Islamophobic attitudes.") CAIR was particularly disturbed by Savage's "shouted anti-Muslim attacks," which it quoted as follows: -- 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 anymore 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. -- What kind of religion is this? What kind of world are you living in when you let them in here with that throwback document in their hand, which is a book of hate. Don't tell me I need reeducation. They need deportation. I don't need reeducation. Deportation, not reeducation. You can take C-A-I-R and throw 'em out of my country. I'd raise the American flag and I'd get out my trumpet if you did it. Without due process. You can take your due process and shove it. -- What sane nation that worships the U.S. Constitution, which is the greatest document of freedom ever written, would bring in people who worship a book that tells them the exact opposite. Make no mistake about it, the Quran is not a document of freedom. The Quran is a document of slavery and chattel. It teaches you that you are a slave. CAIR also complained that Savage has a "long history of rhetorical attacks on Muslims and other minorities." Explosive and unafraid Savage's own Web site describes him as "explosive conservative radio talk show host" who "continues to dominate the airwaves with his brash commentary and unapologetic solutions...Savage is harder hitting than other conservatives...a media icon who is unafraid to take on the establishment." "...In show, books and speeches, Michael Savage electrifies and galvanizes his audiences. If you're looking for someone with an opinion -- who isn't afraid to tell it like it is -- he's your man." On Nov. 2, CAIR's Minnesota chapter announced that three companies in that state had agreed to pull their advertisements from "The Savage Nation." And on Thursday, CAIR thanked Citrix Systems, Inc., for agreeing to drop its advertisements from Savage's nationally syndicated program. "We appreciate Citrix's principled action to disassociate itself from Michael Savage's hate-filled rhetoric," said CAIR Communications Coordinator Amina Rubin in a news release on Thursday. "We urge other local and national companies running ads on Savage's program to follow Citrix's example in support of religious tolerance." What about free speech? "Free speech is a precious right that we fully support and strive to protect," Rubin added. "We are not seeking to curb Mr. Savage's freedom of speech, but to demonstrate that Americans and American companies will not tolerate hatred and bigotry." CAIR, which describes itself as America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, says its mission is to "enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding." But conservative commentators who have been on the receiving end of CAIR's anti-Islamaphobia campaigns disagree. Radio talk show host Michael Graham, forced out of his job in the Washington, D.C., market for refusing to apologize for remarks that offended a Muslim group, landed a new job in Boston, Mass., last year. CAIR, which pressed for Graham's removal, said it received complaints from Muslim listeners who heard Graham say, "Islam is a terrorist organization," "Islam is at war with America," "The problem is not extremism. The problem is Islam," and "We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam." Graham was suspended from his job at ABC-owned WMAL in Washington on July 29, 2005, after he refused a management request to apologize for practicing what CAIR called "hate radio." "When CAIR is able to quell dissent and label every critic a 'bigot,' the chilling effect is felt far beyond ABC Radio and 630 WMAL," Graham said at the time. On Thursday, CAIR said radio host Michael Savage has "stepped up his attacks on Islam and Muslims in response to CAIR's advertiser campaign."
