Savage: “Lets get it on! Lets Bring it on! Bomb Iran…”
Media Matters reports on radical right-wing radio host Michael Savage singing a song about bombing Iran and babbling dangerous hate speech:
On the October 29 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, host Michael Savage played the song “Everybody’s Dixie” by recording artist Bobby Horton, and said: “Yee-haw! This is the America — this is the America that those Islamic-fascist, robe-wearing, throwback bums have never seen!” Savage repeatedly said, “Let’s bring it on! Bomb Iran, bring our boys home now!,” and then demanded, “Get every hunter in America armed to the teeth!” He continued: “Throwback bastards! I’m so sick of them! I’m so sick of the brainwashing about Islam and Muslims and the Koran! Shove it! Shove it all! I’m sick of it!”
After he turned off the music, Savage criticized the media’s coverage of Islam, saying, “I have never lived through a brainwashing like I’ve lived through for the last five years. Every day, another story sweet-selling Islam and the Koran.” Savage also said: “Page after page after page is about religion — a religion that teaches convert or kill. A religion that says oppress women, kill homosexuals, kill the Jew, kill the Christian, kill the infidel.”
Considering the sensitive political realities of the day, Savage’s contemptuous and dim-witted remarks should have no place in the air-waves.
