Michael Savage, the host of extremist right wing thought Savage Nation, has been banned in Great Britain on the account that his show advocates violence through support of his political and religious beliefs.

With the legal guidance of attorney Richard Thompson, who says that the ban violates his “freedom of expression” based on a treaty between the United States and Great Britain. If necessary, Thompson will follow through with prosecuting the British Parliament.

I don’t know what’s worse, Savage’s arrogant close minded views or the fact that this occasion proves his overwhelming hypocrisy. He is a guy who makes a living by condemning, with every lasting breath that he can muster from his foul mouth, immigrants and people alike who have given so much to our nation. Now he’s upset because the British recognize his tyrant-like attitude and refuse with the proper authority in allowing him from entering their country.

I am all for free speech. It’s a great and valuable thing to have as a privilege seeing as how the United States is a freedom friendly country, probably no other country allows/gives its citizens as many rights as our nation. And like many of us have heard, “with great power comes great responsibility,” (Spiderman fans) but Savage ceases to acknowledge his responsibility as a radio show host. Like all tyrants, dictators, and fascists, he abuses his power as a radio show host sitting behind the elite chair that connects him to the airwaves and ultimately the public.

Ironically, he has asked the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for help, who has been bombarded in the past by Savage. Clinton should uphold the ban set against Savage since it’s clearly obvious his show encourages violence through verbal abuse and conviction. Not to mention, the new Obama administration gives us a fresh start in conveying how the world will perceive our changes in the years to come.

Persons who engage in mass media carry the power to influence others regardless of which side you choose to stand on, and it is reasonable, logical, and rightly that the British government chooses to exclude Savage in entering their rich culturally affluent country.
