San Francisco-based conservative talk show host Michael Savage -- whose sharp-tongued right-wing commentary has earned him headlines across the U.S. -- is making news again: He's been banned in Britain.

Savage told The Chronicle in an exclusive interview this morning that he was shocked to learn the news that he was included in the British government's first-ever list of nearly two dozen people from across the globe who are banned from entering the nation for allegedly fostering extremism or hatred.

"When I woke up and saw this this morning ... my first thought was, damn, there goes the summer trip where I planned to have my dental work done," the "Savage Nation" host joked. "My second thought was, darn ... there goes my visit to the restaurants of England for their great cuisine."

But, he added, the issue is no laughing matter -- and represents a serious threat to free speech.

"Today it's me. Tomorrow it's someone else," he said. "My first reaction is, this can't be happening ... that the land of the Magna Carta has now become the land of the mini-Carta."

The list of high-profile banned visitors was released by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, who published 16 of the 22 names of people banned from the country since October. They include Muslim extremists, jailed Russian gang members and an Israeli settler.

Well obviously there must be a reason as to why he's in the same list as Nazi's and crazy Muslims, more info on this talk show host please

But no, I'm sure you're right. We obviously are afraid that he will come and ruin our country with his superior typical American backwards conservative crap that all your talk show hosts are like

Well if you're going to have laws against hate speech it has to work both ways. Fuck Michael Savage. And his mother. Let's face it even Bill 'The Cunt' O'Reilly called this guy a loon.

I personally believe in 100% free speech however.

A Brief Biography of Michael Savage

Michael Savage was born in the Bronx, New York City, USA, in 1942.  His birth name was Michael Alan Weiner.  His family is from Russia.

Michael attended Queens College, City University of New York, graduating in 1963 with a  B.S. in Biology. He also went to the University of Hawaii, achieving a Master of Science in medical botany, 1970, and a Master of Arts in medical anthropology, 1972.

He earned a Ph.D. in Nutritional Ethnomedicine from the University of California, Berkeley, 1978.  His dissertation was on “Nutritional Ethnomedicine in Fiji.”

He is a renowned expert on herbal whose work in this field is highly regarded.

Michael Savage is the author of 18 books and is a three-time best-selling author.

His books include:

Herbs that heal : prescription for herbal healing - with wife Janet (1994)

The herbal bible : a family guide to herbal home remedies (1992)

Michael Savage’s show, The Savage Nation, is a nationally syndicated radio program heard by millions of listeners every Monday through Friday.

His radio show began in 1994 on KSFO in San Francisco, where Dr. Savage lives.  “The Savage Nation” is a part of the Talk Radio Network.  It is currently the third highest rated talk show in the country.  "As Michael continues to challenge his audience and himself, the show and the ratings will just continue to grow," says Mark Masters, CEO of Talk Radio Network.

Michael Savage has a pet dog, Teddy, who has become one of the most well-known pets in the country.

Savage created the phrase "Compassionate Conservative" in 1994, and formed The Paul Revere Society.

"Savage coined the terms "Compassionate Conservative" and "Islamo-Fascist," which have been hijacked by Republican speechwriters and spread like wildfire." -- MichaelSavage.com

Mr. Savage is married to Janet and has two grown children, a son and daughter.

Michael Savage is a nut.

Not sure if that should be a reason to ban him from entrance, though.

What they said. If he's banned from the UK, I'm sure he's a big enough douchbag that I don't care he isn't allowed here.

The guy's surname is fucking Weiner for Chrissake...

Fuck up from birth, clearly just angry at the world. He can foster all the hate he wants for British cuisine and socialised healthcare... he's the one with issues. Lol, Weiner.

With the UK's persistant PCness, its starting to sound like a nation of intollerance, were no one can say nothing that pisses anyone off! ...and yes Savage is an idiot, but to ban him is definately giving him a lot more recognition. Most Americans dont even have a clue who this guy is, even my Mom knows who he is now because of this. Way to spread the word UK.

He is insane because he calls the current administration on the carpet for what it is.
He is insane because he properly defines radical islam.
He is insane because he speaks what he sees as blunt truth about liberalism ( as defined by American liberals ).

Yup, clear and present danger. We can't have truth in our NWO.

You say that "Americans are confusing!" So why are you still asking silly questions?

Savage is nuts.

I used to listen to him when I had a longer commute.

He argues and stammers and is basically crazy incoherent, then all of a sudden he says a couple of things that make sense and are quite intelligent and he follows that for a minute or two and then he goes off the rails again and starts trying to link things that are not relevant and then he goes back to making angry incoherent statements. The entertainment factor from him is that you don't know where he's going with anything he says.

In short, he's nutz.

Are they actually a real newspaper/source, or is it just some idiot with a blog? That's a fucking shocking mistake to make, especially with spellcheckers and whatnot.

Real source. This more or less explains why it was misspelled.

I don't know who this guy is but I read this about him:

Savage Weiner wrote:

He has said that there are three aspects that define a society: borders, language, and culture. He founded the Paul Revere Society in 1996 with his son Russell to protest illegal immigration; he says the group's mission is to "bring together Americans who actively seek to take back our borders, our language, and our traditional culture from the liberal left corroding our great nation.
If that's what he wants, then what with him being an English-speaking white man he should fuck off back to England where his ancestors came from and leave America to its rightful owners.
