Michael Savage Banned From The UK

Via Brian, Michael Savage is banned from entering the UK because of his role in spreading ethnic hatred. Apparently he wants to sue the UK or something in response. Media Matters has a nice rundown on many of the people he's wanted to kick out of America, including American-born children of immigrants and ACLU members. He also has suggested a ban on Muslim immigration.

I appreciate how the UK is treating members of all races who spread hatred the same way. Other banned people include a Hamas MP, Neo-Nazis, a Russian skinhead, a violent Jewish extremist, a Hezbollah guy, and Fred Phelps.

This is only tangentially related, but Savage has claimed "that any heterosexual woman today over the age of 25 who grew up in America is basically a dominatrix." I don't entirely understand what the point of that comment was. I hope it isn't true. It would mean that several of the women I've been involved with were reluctant to tell me what they really wanted and I might have left them unsatisfied.

Michael Savage's real name is Michael Alan Weiner. Why do you think he changed his name?

In this case, "dominatrix" is just code for "castrating bitch" but I suppose you already knew that.

That's right, Tlazolteotl. I think it's a slightly unusual way of putting the point, though.

Depends on what you're after, I suppose.

You know, I don't like the idea of banning someone for the content of their speech, but if it has to happen it might as well happen to Michael Savage. I mean, that guy is a huge prick.
