San Francisco supervisors condemn Conservative Talk-Radio Host Michael Savage
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors today condemned nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Michael Savage 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.
Gerardo Sandoval, who spearheaded the measure, said condemnation of immigrants
“leads to the beating of Muslim-Americans and many other Americans.”
“This attempt to vilify Latino-Americans will not be tolerated,” he said. “We are saying first that we are recognizing this speech is hateful and we are condemning it. Don’t fool yourselves. This kind of speech just incites behavior that is nothing short of hysteria. It’s the kind of hysterical behavior we saw in Nazi Germany 60 years ago.”
Sandoval’s resolution condemns Savage for “defamatory language … against immigrants.” The resolution was in response to Savage’s July 5 broadcast, when the talker commented on a group of students who had announced they were fasting in support of changes in immigration policy.
“I would say, let them fast until they starve to death,” quipped Savage, “then that solves the problem.”
Sandoval says he can’t understand why there’s not more media outrage over Savage’s comments. He plans to hold a press conference on the steps of City Hall Tuesday just before the entire Board of Supervisors votes on his resolution against Savage.
Michael Savage responded by saying,
“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.” “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.”
“Guess what they learned so far?” he continued. “That not only will no governmental agency stop them in their attempts to kill free speech, they will aid them in their attempts to kill free speech. We have lost our freedoms already.
“Lady Liberty has been hog tied. She is being raped by the illegal aliens. She is being raped by the landlords who are using the illegal aliens. Lady Liberty is there in bindings screaming for us to release her,” he said.
All I know is that Gerardo Sandoval has no business introducing resolutions against anybody after his outrageous comments on Hannity & Colmes a few months ago.
Sandoval famously told Alan Colmes that he doesn’t think the U.S. needs a military and we should get rid of it. Those insane comments actually earned him a condemnation from the San Francisco Chronicle if you can believe it.
Only in San Francisco could a wingnut like Gerardo Sandoval be elected to anything in the first place, so he really should just shut the hell up.
