San Francisco Treat

There must be something in the air, because idiocy is spreading.

If I was Michael Savage, I would sue the crap out of the city of San Francisco and pray that it ceases to exist.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors today condemned nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Michael Savage, whose program originates in city by the bay, for “hate speech.”

It was the board’s second attempt at a resolution to condemn Savage for his criticism of illegal aliens in the U.S…

... “This is a dry run against free speech in America by the Islamists and the illegal aliens who are now becoming one and the same,” said Savage in August. “It’s the same organizational structure. … I am the target of this dry run. They want to see how far they can get in silencing a voice of freedom in the United States of America. They want to see which, if any, governmental agencies will stop them.”

I guess only liberals and Democrats are allowed to say what they want to say. If you’re a conservative or anything right of Castro, you should be tarred, feathered, fined, and sent to jail.

One of the nation’s top civil rights attorneys offered his assistance to Savage in suing Sandoval.

Daniel A. Horowitz of Oakland, Calif., wrote to Savage after Sandoval introduced his resolution.

“You have a strong federal civil rights action that you can file against Supervisor Sandoval and the city of San Francisco,” he advised. “You have a constitutional right to state your political opinions and no city official has the right to lie about what you said or to call for a mob to come to your door to threaten you and to try to have you fired.”

Horowitz said the Civil Rights Act of 1871, designed to tame the terror of the Ku Klux Klan, can be used as the basis for a federal civil rights action against the official and the city.

“You are protected by this civil rights act because you are the victim of the same type of mob terror that (the) Klan used to inflict,” wrote Horowitz. “This terror is being organized against you simply because people do not like what you say. Translated into legal language, you are being attacked by a type of terrorist because you have exercised your First Amendment rights.”

Horowitz wrote: “The Klansman in your case is wearing a suit and not a white robe. He is doing his dirty work under the hood of his elected position instead of under the coward’s hood of the Klan.”

The call for action against Savage came at the same time city supervisors were considering using taxpayer dollars to pay for immigrants’ green cards and citizenship.

Can you believe this stuff? A city is trying to silence a talk show host because he doesn’t want illegal aliens / illegal immigrants coming into the city and living on your tax dollars. The next thing you’re going to tell me is that the House of Representatives is going after Rush Limbaugh.

The House is Bored

These guys need to get some new hobbies.

What in the hell is up with this? Don’t you think they have better things to worry about than Rush Limbaugh?

The conservative talk radio host was fighting back after Democratic lawmakers in the House and Senate lambasted him over remarks he made last week suggesting veterans who oppose the Iraq war are “phony soldiers.”

In the House, Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo., who is running for the open Senate seat in his state, has authored a resolution condemning the host. Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has not decided whether or not he’ll bring it up for a vote, his staff told FOX News.

On Tuesday, Hoyer tried to draw comparisons between the Limbaugh attack and GOP efforts last week to condemn ads by MoveOn.org that suggested Gen. David Petraeus, head of Multinational Forces in Iraq, had betrayed the United States by giving Congress a semi-positive report on the result of the troop surge there.

“What’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” Hoyer said, adding that everyone should try to show “restraint from condemning all that we disagree with.”

Senate Democrats say they plan no similar resolution of to Udall’s because, as one Senate Democratic leadership aide said, to do so would only give Limbaugh “the kind of attention he craves.”

But a letter to Mark Mays, president of Clear Channel, the parent company of Limbaugh’s broadcast, was signed by 41 Democrats. It called on the network “to publicly repudiate these comments that call into question [’antiwar soldiers’] service and sacrifice, and ask Mr. Limbaugh to apologize for his comments.”

I can’t believe my tax dollars are going towards the paychecks of these dirt bags. I would rather use my money to wipe my butt than give it to these idiots.
