Iran Rails Against Michael Savage & Rep. Sue Myrick, Defends CAIR......

Via the official media outlet of the Mullah's, IRAN PRESS TV.....

A recent lawsuit filed by radio host and author Michael Savage against Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is one of the latest acts of racism against Muslims in the United States.

Savage, who is often criticized for his fascist and racist opinions, sued Washington-based CAIR for copyright infringement, saying the council had rebroadcast over four minutes from his radio show The Savage Nation on their website as an example of the bigotry and hatred against Muslims in the US.

The excerpts had placed the San Francisco-based host's hateful comments against Islam, Muslims and their holy book, Qur'an, on their website. Savage had also linked CAIR to terrorist organizations.

A federal district court in California dismissed Savage's suit in July, maintaining that the use of limited portions of the material for commentary and criticism falls within copyright law's fair use exception.

However, the incident has indicated that there is a good deal of effort in US media to somehow make a connection between Islam and terrorism.

In his show, Savage linked CAIR with the September 11, 2001 attacks, proving that there are radio and TV programs which can freely express racist ideas just as there are magazines which freely publish insulting images of the Prophet of Islam and a Guantanamo Bay that desecrates the Qur'an.

In line with Savage's accusations, the federal government has recently claimed that CAIR had once provided Hamas with $12 million in funds. Savage's claim was also backed byUS Republican Sue Myrick, who says "Groups like CAIR have a proven record of senior officials being indicted and either imprisoned or deported from the United States."

Her comments come while CAIR vice-chairman received the ACLU's 2003 Liberty's Flame Award 'for contributions to the advancement and protection of civil liberties.'

The latest: Our brave and courageous Mr. Savage has now pulled out of any further appeals of is lawsuit. He claims that death threats made him do this.

How convenient.

What made him quit his lawsuit was that it is totally baseless and frivolous and the further up he goes in the appeals process the louder the laughs will get from the bench.

If Michael Savage was 1/10th the champion of free speech that he has spent the last 6 months touting himself to be, he'd be willing to risk his life in the face of death threats, just as our brave men and women in the U.S. armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan do every day.

But does anyone really believe the death threats story? Michael Savage is a whimp and a coward who promoted a lawsuit that, had it been successful, would have reduced the scope of free speech for everyone in America.

Yeah I believe it. If Muslims will kill over a cartoon, I can believe they would threaten him over exposing CAIR.

Savages attacks on CAIR are a counter attack because he was threatened by lawsuits. Anyone to say he was a coward is illinformed or an asswipe islamist supporter(same thing). Anyone in a position of importance making islamist=terrorist claims in the west is risking their life. Savage is saying what needs to be said, and to hell with the islamist lawfare gobblers.
