Savage: ‘I’d hang every lawyer who went down to Guantanamo.’
Savage: ‘I’d hang every lawyer who went down to Guantanamo.’
On the Wednesday edition of his radio show, far right talker Michael Savage declared his support for the execution for any lawyer who represents accused terrorism suspects. “I’d execute any lawyer who would do this to this country in a time like this,” said Savage. Later, while talking with a caller, he specifically said he would “hang every lawyer who went down to Guantanamo“:
SAVAGE: Yeah, that’s why they had a pipe bomb and their lawyer said they were firecrackers. I tell you, I’d hang the lawyer. If I ran this country, I’d hang the lawyer. I would try her for aiding and abetting terrorism — I’d hang her and I’d hang every lawyer who went down to Guantánamo to defend those murderers.
Many of the lawyers defending detainees at Guantanamo Bay are actually members of the military. Media Matters, who has the audio, points out that in March, Savage advocated putting “left-wing lawyers” in Abu Ghraib.

And savage’s comments are patriotic and loyal to the Constitution? It doesn’t sound as though he really wants to live in this country, ya know – with all the laws and stuff.
I thought the right side was the law and order party. Am I wrong?
June 20th, 2008 at 5:54 pmButtmunch Savage I hope something awful happens to you, a terrible cancer, stroke, snake bite, car wreck, because I will actually feel good about that, and that is bad, that shows what a scum sucking slime you are.
You fail to point out that 70-90% of them are innocent, they were turned in but opposing warlords from some US Cash, and we locked them up for 6 years so far for that.
Repukes have very low IQ’s
June 20th, 2008 at 5:55 pmthank goodness you DON’T run this country……oh..BTY..your pants are on fire.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:55 pmWell, I’m sorry to tell you this Savage, but you can’t run this country like that. However there are some countries out there that do if you’d like to try your hand at it. China and North Korea may welcome you.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:55 pmSavage: ‘I’d hang every lawyer who went down to Guantánamo.’
Michael Savage, you unlock this door with the key of authoritarianism. Beyond it is another dimension – a dimension of brutal sounds, a dimension of horrific sights, a dimension of twisted minds. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of perverse things and bankrupt ideas. You’ve just crossed over into the Nazi Zone.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:02 pmMr. Weiner has the cutest way of making fascist fun again! No trial for you, Mr. Weiner.
Straight to the gallows, huh Mr. Weiner?
You wouldn’t have it any other way.
Honestly, why are you even an United States citizen, Mr. Weiner? Isn’t there a despot ruling somewhere that might be more to your liking?
June 20th, 2008 at 6:02 pmIt is mind boggling why a person such as Savage, whose rhetoric is anti America, hate America, is ALLOWED to remain on the air waves. Is HE the enemy?
June 20th, 2008 at 6:04 pmLike most of the right-wing AM hate radio blowhards – Michael Savage is a yellow-bellied coward. Big tough-guy talk from behind a microphone by a very small person (I couldn’t bring myself to even call him a man) ensconced in his secret little studio cave.
Oh — and if Michael Savage ever ran this country, I’ve no doubt his final fate would mirror that of notable leaders such as Mussolini, Hitler, Ceau?escu and the like. Sheesh — what a creep.
Just saying . . .
June 20th, 2008 at 6:05 pmI have a feeling that Savage is heading the way of Mann Coulter, whose act became so tired and stale that she “extremed” herself right into irrelevance.
Savage Wiener is not far behind her on that path. His rantings are getting more and more out there as he struggles to manitain his “edge”.
That being said, a right-wing friend of mine still thinks the Savage Wiener “makes some sense”.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:06 pmI’d support that (Savage and hanging) if W’s lawyers were in the mix. Gee, isn’t that last name appropriate?
June 20th, 2008 at 6:07 pmWhat a waste of time and resources this messy system of laws is. Civil rights, habeus corpus, innocent till proven guilty, what a clusterfck.
How much easier would it be if we just gassed all the inmates, and not just at Gitmo, but all prisoners? Sure, you might make a mistake here and there, but the little shits shouldn’t have been in the wrong place to begin with.
Think of the money we would save. And while we are at it, let’s get rid of this clumsy and ineficient checks and balances bullshit. Congress Shmongress, just elect a strong leader, let him make the calls that are best for our country and let’s all get past it.
I mean really, let’s admit it, America’s system of democracy is a failed experiment. Too messy, too clumsy and too much freedom for bad guys.
Thanks for listening.

June 20th, 2008 at 6:07 pmOh, Michael Weiner – how sad you’ve become. How afraid, with your shrinking circle of friends and listeners.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:07 pmYou always have a friend in Rush and Sean, Weiner.
Weiner should’ve changed his name to Eddie Haskel; that mouthy weiner is exactly who he sounds like.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:10 pm.
Savage says: “…I’d hang every lawyer who went down to Guantanamo to defend those murderers.”
… Because Habeas Corpus, fair representation and impartial, unbiased courts are so pre-9/11… NO?
.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:10 pmExemplifies the typical dictatorial mentality of repug swine.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:12 pmSome time ago before the ‘04 election, Savage used to talk about how great it will be when we can return back to the 50’s. He would play the 50’s music and dream on for the time when women would know their place and spew the white supremacy crap.
Years later, we have Obama sweeping the nation for the presidency and the republicans going down. I imagine Savage is losing it… will have to listen in for a laugh.

June 20th, 2008 at 6:16 pmI’m so glad to see that Mikey is such a staunch defender of the principle- innocent until PROVEN guilty.

If Weiner wants to become a terrorist, then hang himself, let him.

June 20th, 2008 at 6:22 pmAnd here is the problem with hate speech. Those that take part in it dont think the logic of their actions thru.

The Kuebler strategy is obvious: to irritate the powers that be into sending his client, the last citizen of a Western country at Guantánamo, home to Canada. There is no sign yet of a ticket out for Mr. Khadr, 21, the son of a family once so close to Osama bin Laden that it is sometimes called Canada’s first family of terrorism.

see, in the conservative universe if someone (we don’t know who) calls you a name it follows that you are guilty.
proof, the right to face your accuser and habeas corpus?
these are “quaint” concepts.

June 20th, 2008 at 6:45 pmApparently, Savage has decided already that everybody held at Gitmo is guilty, guilty, guilty (never mind that the reason people are so worked up about the recent SCOTUS decision is that we don’t actually have evidence to try many of them). Either that, or he just gets off on killing people, which would explain why he wants to kill lawyers for just doing their job. He probably would be in favor of killing all medical personnel who work down there as well.
Savage’s fascist fantasies are just plain sick, as any thinking person can see. The fact that he has listeners indicates there are a lot of non-thinking people out there.

Man, Savage, I hope you need a lawyer one day. Need one real bad.
You’d better hope they don’t remember your asinine comments or your feelings about legal representation.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:49 pmHe should take out John Adams (2nd president of the USA) too. After all Adams defended the British from the Boston massacre. More than made up for Adams later sins. Plus he gave us the only father – son presidents worth considering.

Without delay, we need to dig up John Adams and hang him for defending those murderin’ redcoats!
While we’re at it, let’s get every one of those friggin’ sharks that defended German, Japanese and any other flavor war criminal.
Way to go, Weiner.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:57 pmJohn Adams’ crime was not his defense of the redcoats. His crime was using the Alien and Sedition Act to shut down newspapers and imprisoning their editors, one of whom was the grandson of Benjamin Franklin.
Those heinous acts made him a one term president, and sent the Federalists (the Republicans of their time) to the scrapheap of history.

Seriously though, wasting time on Savage is exactly that – wasting time. You can hear something equally outrageous any time you listen to him.
June 20th, 2008 at 7:12 pmWeiner-Savage would be singing a far different tune if HE were in trouble with the law in a foreign country.
“I’m an American! An AMERICAN, damn it!! Do you know who I am!?
June 20th, 2008 at 7:19 pmA while back, I remember Weiner reminding his listeners of a dentist appointment he had scheduled for the following morning, for having a bone shard jammed in his gum pocket.

the bush’s and bin ladens had a mutual interest with the saudi’s, but a close business relationsihp is nothing like what the Kadrs do.
could it be that this “mutual interest” and “close business relationship” that rog refers is the reason why g.w. bush has failed so miserably to capture osama bin laden?
an interesting theory to ponder.

June 20th, 2008 at 7:45 pmSome time ago, I remember savage talking about his dog – a dog he was irritated with as it would consistently leave vomit on the floor. Savage was not concerned about if the dog may be ill, but annoyed about the mess. A fan of Savage adopted the dog and the dog was then healthy, not vomiting and doing well. The story came from savage himself… has he no shame?
Savage is not even fit to take care of a dog.

June 20th, 2008 at 8:10 pmI only wish Mikey Wiener lived int he world he wishes he lived in. He wouldn’t make it to the corner to buy a paper…
June 20th, 2008 at 8:40 pmAh, Mikey “I’m only a talking” Savage has company in the rank-and-file of those who dislike dissent. On 1090 AM, the San Diego Padres’ flagship station, former Padre and MLB player Phil Nevin remarked that those who oppose downtown ballparks and the revitalized neighborhoods, “should be shot”. Funny how that works, when the team’s principle owner has made a substantial amount of money off the “revitalization”, raises ticket prices every year and puts a crappy product on the field. I got a feeling some of these oil executives might have asked some sports executives the best, easiest ways to make some quick money without doing much more than adjusting numbers.
It’s nice to see shared, a$$headed values go from one forum to another through trickle-down osmosis.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:23 pmTo think this crackpot has millions of people listening to him every day…how frightening.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:47 pmWeiner (Savage)says I would try her for aiding and abetting terrorism – Bush&Co should be first on his list if he knew what he was talking about.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:37 pmHe is a raving lunatic – a friend of mine frequently tells me of his rants – at which point I remind my friend that he has masochistic tendencies for listening to such garbage.
The bolder and scarier Savage’s lies, fantasies and delusions are, the more the “real” dumb shut-ins, crazy folks and just generally mentally inept keep supporting his nuclear garbage. The man’s mouth keeps him in business. The instant his show goes from the “GOP Weekly World News” to the “RNC National Enquirer”, he’s gone.

June 21st, 2008 at 1:57 amThese guys have to troll, that’s the only way they get on the RNC’s minimum wage plan these days. The more they repeat the given material, they get the talking points stamp sheets they can cash in for marginal gifts and prizes…only if the GOP wins big in November though. So they have to make sure those “Dana Perino: Wild in the Office, Oval that Is!” DVD’s will be delivered by Santa Karl.

June 21st, 2008 at 4:08 am“Rabble-rouser” is a good old-fashioned term that I have not seen applied to any of this current gang of radio rabble-rousers. The Republican party: the place to go for raucous, ranting, raving, raging rabble-rousing. Birds of a feather flock together. These guys are like a plague of starlings. They roost together, shitting on everything, filling the air with ugly noise, and often breaking the branches of the trees they roost on.

Assuming, of course, that you don’t meet an untimely demise first, Savage.

June 21st, 2008 at 3:47 pmAs I remember my American History Class (mandatory as dictated by state law), the soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre couldn’t get representation. One lawyer stood up and provided representation.
This lawyer was lauded with this action being held up as a hero of the american tradition of fair trials. This lawyer was later made President.
I thought the Neocons said they are proud of American history.
June 21st, 2008 at 5:45 pmMichael Savage as a kid was probably beaten up by a girl like Karl Rove was.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:29 pmMr. Savage, what is the problem with stating the charges against all the detained war criminals (supposed) and proceeding with the hearing for each? Why are we wasting so many resources keeping them all locked up if they can be proved to be guilty as you assume?
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:42 amErr, guys. Most of your comments above are in the vain of “Savage, are you an American? Do you believe in the laws of the USA, the Constitution? Are you Patriotic? How can you?!” etc and so on.
No one mentioned that Mr. Weiner is not an American.
He is an ultra-Zionist Israeli who’s chosen assignment is an overseas mission in the USA, to divert as much of American might as possible in the direction which he sees as beneficial for his nation, irrespective for the cost to the USA, its citizens or any other “collateral damage” that might ensue to anyone but any Israeli. That is his only concern.
In that context all his on-air activities in the USA are fully consistent. He indeed sees himself as a fiery and devoted “patriot”. Just not an American one.
June 22nd, 2008 at 3:58 amGuys like Savage have no respect for the laws of this nation. They simply do not like some of the major cornerstones of law that this great country was built on. Who is the real traitor??
