Why Would Michael Savage Want Me Deported?

Be proud of that. Michael Wiener wanting you deported is a badge of honor.  His spittle-flecked rants are borderline crazy, and while it’s unfortunate he turned them on you, I’d rather be someone that Wiener hated than that he loved.  You’re in good company.

It is possible Abdi….. that Savage was expressing his disgust not with you, but with your poorly cloaked benefactor, George Soros.

Savage is a hard core lover of America and is also Jewish; his ancestors found safe refuge here from Hitler’s holocaust.

It would not be surprising to learn that he took offense to Soro’s hateful, bigoted and prejudiced opinion that the United States needed a period of “de-Nazification” and has taken this opportunity to vent.

Some might say that there is some justification for “lumping in” people who accept employment with such reprobates as Soros; however, I’d be the first to agree that it is much more appropriate to direct one’s anger directly to the source.

That being said, one should expect a general anger and probable backlash when CAIR’s history is fully disclosed to the public.

It is a pity that the many Muslims that openly disavow the terrorist organizations that CAIR embraces and supports will have to experience anger and disgust that they do not deserve.

Perhaps you could run a series of articles giving Twin Cities Muslims the opportunity to voice their disgust with groups such as CAIR…..who knows, Savage might be prompted to offer an appology when he sees that MiniMoni does not coddle radical Islamists.

That should have read: “; like Soros his ancestors found safe refuge…..”

With Due Respect…. Swiftee, I think calling for the deportation of American citizens goes way beyond “venting.” 

And please try not to play the Jewish card.  There are Jews on every side of every political debate in America, and Savage’s religious beliefs give him as much license to demand the flouting of Constitutional rights and protections as a devout Christian’s beliefs allow him to demand that religious symbols be displayed on government property.

Which is to say, no license at all. 

Demands? Actually, if you read the e-mail that your site has posted, you’ll see that Savage didn’t demand anything.

He expressed his desire and expressing a desire, however unlikely to be fulfilled, pretty much falls into the “freedom of speech” category (which you’ll recognize as another Constitutional right). 

In fact, as I’ve said, Savage’s opinion is one that the flying Imams are only likely to spread with their unfortunate statements and actions.

Which is why I think, in the spirit of the fine, fine journalistic ethics that MiniMoni employees have all signed up for, it would be helpful to allow Muslims who wish to disavow themselves from the scandalous actions of the Imams to have a voice right here.

Surely you can see how that would be far more helpful than exacerbating the situation with wild misrepresentations that are so easily disposed of?

You all have the opportunity to defuse the well placed public outrage that will surely follow the full disclosure of who and what CAIR is.

Don’t people have better things to do than Listen to Savage? I can’t believe that anybody who calls people with darker sking “turds” like I heard Michael Savage say the first and only time I have ever heard his program would have any credibility at all.  Right Wing radio does nothing but convince simple minded people to vote agains their own interests.  Sad fact is that it is working!  Our middle class is shrinking.  Real wages are stagnent.  But you won’t hear Shawn, Rush, Bill or Michael explain any of this to you.  Its all drowned out by the endless chant of Ditto Ditto Ditto. 

Heres your chance Abdi As I predicted, many Muslims are ashamed of the six flying imams and want nothing to do with the likes of CAIR.

The American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) has released a statement:

“AIFD would like the American public to be aware of our following positions representing an alternative voice from the American Muslim community.”

“Make no mistake, this type of agenda and policy direction of organizations like CAIR only represents its own membership and its own donors. A relatively small percentage of the 5-6 million American Muslims are enrolled as members of CAIR. Recent considerable donations to CAIR upwards of a combined $100 million from foreign nations like Dubai and Saudi Arabia make these types of costly, distractive actions against domestic airlines such as US Airways very concerning in its manifestation of foreign interference.”

“One of the frontlines in the war on terror is at the airports and at the gates. While the imams were clearly removed for their behavior after entering the plane, it should be made clear that many less rigid but equally pious Muslims believe (including 3 out of 6 of the imams for that matter) that the prayer they performed could have been performed upon landing in Phoenix due to travel dispensations in Islam or privately on time while seated on the flight. Muslims believe that God is forgiving and does not expect religion to be “too difficult

Contacting “them”? Swiftee:

Without weighing in on the actual subject of debate, using anything from AFID as evidence of a “group’s” opinion on the lawsuit is disingenuous.

AFID is just M. Zuhdi Jasser.  He is the only listed member of the organization and the only listed member of their Board of Directors. 

He has made some reasonable points in the past but his attack on CAIR for only representing a small portion of American Muslims is the epitome of calling the kettle black.

That’s kind of sad isn’t it? If what you say is true, are we to assume that CAIR, and the Muslim Brotherhood speak for muslims?

Could be, but for the time being I prefer to hope that the majority of muslims do not stand with groups that support HAMAS, Hezbollah, al Queda & etc.

Guess you could just call me a glass half full kind of guy.

1 = many Good thing you didn’t sign that pledge, huh?

It is possible Swiftee….. that Savage was merely constipated from eating too much macaroni&cheese (you can’t get more American than that!) and was taking the opportunity to vent from one end when he couldn’t vent from the other. The fact that he is a lover of Jewish American hard core is neither here nor there — I’m just glad that you and he have “lumped together” to show the world what bigotry and prejudice, and undeserved anger and disgust really look like. You are both heroes.

Savage the hard core lover Correction: It is not, in fact, a fact that Savage is a lover of Jewish American hard core — merely rampant rumor and speculation. I humbly apologize.

Nice Work Keep up the good work!
