Michael Savage banned from UK for preaching hate [View All]

:rofl:


Michael Savage, the radical wingnut shock-jock - and founder of Rockstar Energy Drink (his son is still CEO) - has another dubious distinction to add to his resume: he's been banned from entering the United Kingdom, because of his disgusting track record of hateful comments when it comes to issues like homosexuality (gays should get HIV and die), Islam (Muslims should be hung from lamp posts with their guts hanging out) and autism (just kids who are spoiled brats who need to be told to knock it off).

Joining Savage on this list? A former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, two members of a Russian skinhead gang, Rev. Fred Phelps, and the leader of an American neo-Nazi group, among others.

...

The UK's Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, told the London Times that naming these people enabled others to see the type of hateful and dangerous behavior that won't be tolerated in the country.

"Coming to this country is a privilege. We won't allow people into this country who are going to propagate the sort of views... that fundamentally go against our values," Smith said.
