Judge tosses Savage's suit against Islamic group
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage against an Islamic civil rights group over its use of a portion of his show in which he called the Quran a "book of hate."
Savage sued the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, for copyright infringement and racketeering lawsuit late last year, claiming the group violated his rights by using a segment of his "Savage Nation" show in a letter-writing campaign to get advertisers to boycott the program. In the broadcast used by CAIR, Savage also called the Muslim holy book "a throwback document."
In her ruling Friday, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston said people who listen to a public broadcast are entitled to use excerpts for purposes of comment and criticism. She also said no evidence was presented to show that advertising on the show's broadcast was affected by CAIR's actions.
The racketeering element of the lawsuit alleged that CAIR was not a civil rights group, but a political organization with ties to terrorist groups. CAIR denies those claims, saying it opposes terrorism and religious extremism.
In an interview with The Associated Press after he filed the lawsuit in December, Savage said he was referring to Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his violent brand of Islamic extremism in the broadcast, not about the religion in general.
Savage's attorney, Daniel Horowitz, told the San Francisco Chronicle he plans to file a new racketeering suit.

Michael Savage was born Michael Alan Weiner to a Jewish family with Russian origins living in the Bronx.[3][1] As a child, he worked. He described his childhood as difficult, due to his father's "gruff and profane" personality.[1] His father died of a heart attack in his fifties.

So hate is defined by you that way?
Interesting, Savage thought we should have nuked a gathering of 10,000 people, men, women & children in lebanon a few weeks ago.
You are so simple minded youandme, but america still has a place for people like you: neocon nipple whores.
Kill or be killed!

I'm in your head at this point. Sad to see you break down, hopefully the welfare check comes in on time for you.

wow, I'd didn't expect such a weak ass response: "I'm in your head"
I thought at least you'd comment on Savage's desires and how they compare to chopping off heads.
But what can you do?
Nothing much it seems. Especially when your flawed logic about Savage's hate as it compares to radical islam's hate exposes you as a stupid bitch. ;) ;D

This comparison is pretty weak.

Yeah wanting to nuke 10,000 people doesn't compare to wanting to slam a jet into a sky scraper.

He's a man of words and not actions.
Islamists behead little girls and slaughter children for their "religion".

Agree 100%.
The difference is actions. However, the intentions are similar.

Michael "Savage" is an entertainer and agitator first. I listen to him from time to time when I get a chance, not necessarily due solely to content, but the fact that he is very good on the radio and will push the envelope at whatever chance he gets. There are days that he hits the nail right on the head, and there are other days I turn the radio dial.
That pretty much describes every other talk show host, except Mr. Whiner is just a bit more colorful about it.

I concur and do the same.

The guy says what many of us feel or would like to say. I don't like it when he goes nuts and starts scream, but when he's lucid, he makes great points. He's numerb 3 in talk radio behind Rush and Hannity...
