Savage: "Illegal aliens" have "raped and disheveled" the Statue of Liberty
SUMMARY: Discussing the Italian government's decision to deploy soldiers on city streets to combat violent crime allegedly committed by illegal immigrants, Michael Savage said: "So they've done there what we need to do here. We need to get our troops out of Iraq and put them on the streets of America to protect us from the scourge of illegal immigrants who are running rampant across America, killing our police for sport, raping, murdering like a scythe across America while the liberal psychos are telling us they come here to work." Savage added: "[Y]ou turn on the cable news, they're covering again a missing child. Not a missing country but a missing child. ... We hear about the rape of a woman, but not about the rape of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is crying, she's been raped and disheveled -- raped and disheveled by illegal aliens."
On the August 4 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, Michael Savage declared that "the Statue of Liberty" has been "raped and disheveled by illegal aliens." Discussing the Italian government's decision to deploy soldiers on city streets to combat violent crime for which, according to The New York Times, "illegal immigrants are broadly blamed," Savage stated: "Things are so bad in Europe that the Italians have put soldiers, military on their streets. Now, you have to understand what it means by things are so bad. The illegal immigrants, mainly Muslims and Africans, are out of control." He then added: "So they've done there what we need to do here. We need to get our troops out of Iraq and put them on the streets of America to protect us from the scourge of illegal immigrants who are running rampant across America, killing our police for sport, raping, murdering like a scythe across America while the liberal psychos are telling us they come here to work." Later in the program, Savage said "[t]he local comic books that nobody buys anymore called newspapers" are ignoring what is happening in Italy, and added: "No truth, no reality, no stories -- you turn on the cable news, they're covering again a missing child. Not a missing country but a missing child. ... We hear about the rape of a woman, but not about the rape of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is crying, she's been raped and disheveled -- raped and disheveled by illegal aliens, and our politicians do nothing except give themselves big fat checks and big fat jobs."
As Media Matters for America has noted, Savage has previously made inflammatory remarks about immigrants. For instance, while criticizing first lady Laura Bush's June 20 World Refugee Day speech, Savage said, "We're getting refugees now who have never used a telephone, a toothbrush, or toilet paper. You're telling me they're going to assimilate? They will never assimilate. They come here and they bring their destitute ways to this country, and they never assimilate." He continued: "And then their children become gang-bangers. It is a disaster. Did you hear what I just said? A disaster."
When five San Francisco students held a hunger strike in July 2007 in support of the DREAM Act -- a bill that would have provided a pathway to citizenship and other benefits for certain illegal immigrants who entered the United States before the age of 16 -- Savage said: "I would say, let them fast until they starve to death, then that solves the problem. Because then we won't have a problem about giving them green cards because they're illegal aliens; they don't belong here to begin with." In April 2006, Savage stated, "If you take to the streets with the vermin who are trying to dictate to us how we should run America, even though they're not even entitled to vote or be here, you're going to be thrown out of office. The people will throw you out of office. There are not enough of them to re-elect you. You will be out of a job. You will not have a living. You will be hunting for a job. Maybe, you'll be picking the vegetables." After Media Matters highlighted his comments, Savage claimed it was not illegal immigrants he was describing as "vermin" but, rather, "the leadership behind" the illegal immigrants, whom Savage described as "the communist Marxist bloc of International ANSWER" (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).
Talk Radio Network, which syndicates Savage's show, claims that Savage is heard on more than 350 radio stations. The Savage Nation reaches at least 8.25 million listeners each week, according to Talkers Magazine, making it one of the most listened-to talk radio shows in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.
From the August 4 edition of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:
SAVAGE: Things are so bad in Europe that the Italians have put soldiers, military on their streets. Now, you have to understand what it means by "things are so bad." The illegal immigrants, mainly Muslims and Africans, are out of control. So they've done there what we need to do here. We need to get our troops out of Iraq and put them on the streets of America to protect us from the scourge of illegal immigrants who are running rampant across America, killing our police for sport, raping, murdering like a scythe across America while the liberal psychos are telling us they all come here to work.
The story says, "Soldiers on Italian streets -- hundreds of soldiers have fanned across Italy to help police fight crime. The soldiers also guard detention centers, processing illegal immigrants blamed by the government for much of Italy's crime. But a group of immigrants used the deployment as an opportunity to protest and draw attention to their conditions and delays in asylum requests." They got the racket worked out pretty good, huh? First you break into a country, then you say "drop dead" if you don't give me citizenship. And then they spit in your face, then they beat up your police, and the police run away.
That's the country of Italy, the once-proud nation of Italy, the former Roman empire reduced to hiding behind the shuttered doors. And you're telling me you're going to Tuscany -- yeah, drink your chianti, eat your mortadella, Schmi -- Guido. Go eat your mortadella, Guido, tell me how wonderful Tuscany is. I hear these reports from people who come back. "Oh, I went to Tuscany, oh, I love Tuscany." You sat there like a fat drunk, you didn't know what was going on around you there. Go buy yourself a condo in Tuscany. You have no idea what's going on because like in this country, you don't want to know what's going on, you've got your head in the sand. When guys like me, the Paul Reveres of our time, have to take the whole burden on our own back. Go ahead, go stuff your face with mortadella and drink your chianti and think the world is fine because you become an old drunk in an undershirt -- I'd like to say to them.
Why is it that the Italians called out the military? Why can't we call out the military and put 'em on the border with Mexico? Why can't we send the military into San Francisco to take control of the city before other innocent civilians are killed? Uh huh, why? You tell me why. You tell me why. San Jose, Dave, you're on The Savage Nation, go ahead, please, what's on your mind?
[...]
SAVAGE: So there it is, Italy, they're calling out the military, they called them out already in the streets, but you didn't read that yet, huh? Didn't make it to your local comic book? The local comic books that nobody buys anymore called newspapers because they provide you nothing but trash, day and night? No truth, no reality, no stories -- you turn on the cable news, they're covering again a missing child. Not a missing country but a missing child, every day about a missing child but not a missing country, every day about a missing child but no missing country.
Every -- about the rape of a woman, but not about the rape of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is crying, she's been raped and disheveled -- raped and disheveled by illegal aliens, and our politicians do nothing except give themselves big fat checks and big fat jobs. The Statue of Liberty is disheveled and raped and she's crying, and she needs to be helped, but you turn on the cable news networks -- missing children, rape, rape, missing children, missing children, rape, rape, missing children, rape, missing children, missing children, rape.
How about missing country and the rape of a nation? Why don't they cover the real story? Why don't they tell the rest of us to get ready for what's coming in this country? That we have to protect ourselves because everybody else is ducking and hiding? They're hiding under their desks in Washington, they're hiding under their desks in the state capitals, they're hiding under their desks in the city capitals. And we have to fend for ourself because the government is not protecting us, don't you get it?
But wasn't it Pelosi and Obama and Media Matters and the Council on American-Islamic Relations who are Nazis, communists, and homosexual fascists, according to Savage?
... amazing what happens when the people you believed for so long were what they criticized.
But there are still some conservative principles that I still believe in (FairTax, domestic drilling, anti-abortion [victory in the WOT would be more of an American position than a conservative one])
Yeah, according to Savage, every liberal in America is a true Nazi. The Germans during WW2 were not Nazis - "they were just proud patriots trying to save their country from [trademark Savage scream] THOSE FILTHY COMMUNISTS AND THOSE FILTHY CHRIST-KILLERS!!!"
And how anyone equipped with a spine could defend Savage - trust me, they'll come - is just beyond me. They claim its "freedom of speech", but are the first to demand censorship when a liberal radio host says something edgy.
Or a lawsuit and institutional attacks when Savage is called out (ie, Media Matters [illegal corporation, anti-family, homosexual Nazis {I think they have page after page dedicated to Savage's attacks on MMFA}]).
And Rush Limbaugh just reads his Republican talking points. Sean Hannity is Rush Limbaugh later in the afternoon (with a lot more friends and public appearances). And O'Reilly is in between Rush and Savage IMO.
See, I'm all alone on the political spectrum
See, I'm all alone on the political spectrum
Yup. No one wants to be associated with you Dawuss.
And how anyone equipped with a spine could defend Savage - trust me, they'll come - is just beyond me.
The Weiner Defenders may have spines, but they don't have fully-functioning brains.
"I would agree with you. Under certain circumstances like rape, in which the woman did not actually have a choice in the matter of sexual relations. "
If you would approve ANY abortion - you can't claim to be anti-abortion. Either it's wrong or it's not, there's no "half-way" wrong.
"Other than that, the woman made a dumbfounded choice, and I believe she should have to live with that, not sacrifice a child because the mother was a dumb****."
But see - she ISN'T sacrificing a child - because a foetus is NOT a CHILD. So your argument is invalid from the get go.
If you would approve ANY abortion - you can't claim to be anti-abortion. Either it's wrong or it's not, there's no "half-way" wrong.
Sure there is. There are always limits. Its like saying you approve of eveyrone driving cars, but only if they meet requirements.
I love it when people try to defend abortion "rights." Through their argument, they show that in their own minds, they believe that they were actually not a human life when they were in their own mother's womb. And that they believe that it was OK for them to be killed and sucked up through a tube and never exist on this earth just because "choice" needs to be legal. Sick.
With that mindset, I can begin to understand why people can justify supporting barry hussein obama.
The same way the constitution says I have a right to own a gun - but lawmakers get to decide what TYPES of guns i can own.
I personally would never advocate for abortion outside of a rape case, thats just my view on it.
"Under certain circumstances like rape, in which the woman did not actually have a choice in the matter of sexual relations. Other than that, the woman made a dumbfounded choice, and I believe she should have to live with that, not sacrifice a child because the mother was a dumb****".---Science101
How does a person—you said “child” Science—lose his/her rights by the circumstance of it’s conception, namely rape?
Science101: Other than that, the woman made a dumbfounded choice, and I believe she should have to live with that, not sacrifice a child because the mother was a dumb****.
Science, you should really look up the word 'dumbfounded' and find out what it actually means before you use it in an attempt to accuse any women of making dumb choices and being dumb.
The wall was too high,

I generally support reinstating the fairness doctrine. But if fairness were back, there is still no obvious way to fairly rebut this new Weiner rant:
Maybe:
1) Issue a new commandment: Thou shalt not rape any large metal statues of liberals ... oops, liberty ... either by committing crimes if you are not from here, or by using said statue to develop odious metaphors if you are? Oh, and don't dishevel the statues either.
2) Mikey, you have to let Shawnie and Corsi and McSame and Obama get some of the attention this week. It is not all about you.
3) Nuh-Uh ...
Savage's answer to the Fairness Doctrine:
"Put [Savage] on NBC, to provide a conservative rebuttal to their liberal statements" (may not be an exact quote but it is close)
WzWriter's answer to Weiner's Answer to the Fairness Doctrine:
Lock Michael Weiner in a padded cell and throw away the key. Society will be instantly improved.
Our friend is playing games and looking for attention, he/she or it is also a racist piece of trash. His/her's or it's concern troll routine is much too obvious.
You're right except that Mexicans (and others) who cross the border and break US law are illegals and do illegal things. The fact that liberal Democrats support the law breakers because it enhances their vote banks does not mitigate the fact that every illegal, is by definition, a criminal or worse.
Generally, illegal immigrants do NOT vote. If you'd like to argue that some do, there is greater evidence supporting the contention that illegal immigrants, especially those who are criminals, would not risk deportation just to be able to cast an illegal vote.
You, and the right wing screechers in the media only show how ignorant you are when you make charges like this.
But then, ignorance has been very profitable under the recent Republican administrations.
Next time you should try to think through your charges and see how ridiculous they are.
Shootings, rapings, pillaging, drive-by's, grafiti, prostitution, drugs, (you know, all the things that go along with the Mexican-illegal population. Even the African-American neighborhoods are in awe!
Got it, you think all blacks are criminals, but those Mexicans even put those blacks to shame!
"Shootings, rapings, pillaging, drive-by's, grafiti, prostitution, drugs..."
Wow, that's awful. It sounds like every urban center in the world.
PC aside, the recipe for high rates of violent crime is hardly a mystery. If you want a high crime rate, get some broad and major wealth disparity, provide little access to the legal means of acquiring and accumulating wealth for a particular community, and if you really want to spice things up, add a subcommunity that feels itself to be permanently marginalized.
This has nothing to do with illegal immigrants -- and certainly not Mexicans -- in particular. This has happened in communities of legal immigrants. This has happened in relatively homogenous communities. And if you really think that illegal immigrants are exclusively or even primarily to blame for your hometown's crime rate, how to you square that with the fact that illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens? (See this and this.)
I know. It's easier to blame the Mexicans. It certainly seems so much simpler than, say, addressing the actual causes of crime.
Prisons are filled with Mexicans?
Care to read the DOJ Report? Show me where it says Prisons are filled with Mexicans?
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/p05.pdf
I'm fairly certain hes referring to "mexicans" as illegal immigrants. In which this article states that in 2003 alone, there were over 270,000. Obviously the overwhelming majority of them are from Mexico.

and Science read the attached from Wikepedia, it fits you and that racist piece of S*it Zamfir to the tee.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism
Wow! That's what I call a "virtual beat down".
Jlyons, I might not always agree with you, but that awesome. Way to put those bigots in their place.
One more thing, why are the prisons filled with Mexicans? P.C. aside. See, nothing ever gets done because everybody is afraid to talk about these things.
Mexicans? You of course have proof that the prisons are filled with Mexicans and not say, Salvadorians or Ecuadorians or Guatemalans or Argentinians or Colombians or Venezuelans or.......
Understanding that, just because a person is of Latin decent does not automatically mean he's Mexican, seems like the first step in ANY discussion.
As far as prison population goes:
Estimated number of persons held in state or federal prisons or local jails, by gender, race: White - 755,500, Black - 814,700, Hispanic - 410,900At mid year 2007 there were 4,618 black male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 black males in the United States, compared to 1,747 Hispanic male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 Hispanic males and 773 white male sentenced prisoners per 100,000 white males. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/prisons.htm
I'm Mexican and I'm not a criminal. All p.c. aside, though; you are a racist douchebag. And since we're putting political correctness aside, I saw my house's worth soar and then plummet because greedy white people were doing some kind of magic with home prices and using their homes as ATMs. You don't see me tripping, do you? Because there are SOME PEOPLE who are very greedy and materialistic- in my opinion. Now that I'm not being restrained by p.c., maybe I can FINALLY talk about how my white neighbors cook up meth and the cops don't do anything about it.
I'd be lying if I said that I ever see Mexicans and blacks park around the corner to buy- but, of course, you wouldn't believe me if I said that they don't. Moron.
Savage needs to jump the shark already. Maybe you people will chill out then. This old crank said that the media in my part of Cali wasn't reporting the identity of a child killer because he was probably an illegal. The guy was a U.S. citizen, but, you know, he was Mexican-American, which is not a real American to racists like him.
The subject at hand is Illegal Aliens.
When you saw the Immigration Ralleys, what flag was most present? DING..... The Mexican flag. I did not see thousands of flags from China, the Filipines, Argentina, Columbia ect.
So, do you really wonder why the left and right percieve Illegal Aliens as mostly Mexican? I don't. Read above.
Amen, Kailman
from one meth-avoiding white person :)
I wonder if Weiner has ever read the words on the Statue of Liberty?
"Give me your tired, your poor; your huddled masses yearning to breathe free; the wretched refuse of your teaming shore; send them, the hopeless tempest tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
those words have been put into the "quaint" file, right next to the Geneva Conventions.
And the Magna Carta.
“Why don't they cover the real story? Why don't they tell the rest of us to get ready for what's coming in this country?”—M. Savage
The GOP he has helped gain power has played a big part in allowing these immigrants in to satisfy business’s demand for cheap labor. But these same people who he helped bring to power have set things up so as to fix the over immigration ---a likely coming dramatic economic downturn due in part to the very high deficit spending on the Iraq “War” which he pushed hard for.
sometimes late at night. (Gas was 17-20 cents a gallon. You read that right, bubbula, 17-20 CENTS a gallon!) During those late night return trips I would listen to these crazy preachers, screaming and yelling all manner of insane things. I was entertained by them. They made me laugh. They made me feel superior because I was NOT nuts. I say they were preachers because even if they were just loony conspiracy nuts about politics or the news, they had the delivery of the anointed, the voices of Gawd. I find creatures like Mike Sewerage in the same mold. Just some screw-ball, hate fueled, moron with a mike pinned to his straight jacket and a nurse to wipe the drool from his chin. It's hard to be entertained these days, with so much at stake. It's also sad to know that MMFA has to give him the publicity he craves.
I'm confused? Aren't crimes being commited by illegal immigrants a bad thing? Why is what Savage said bad? Shouldn't we want some kind of control of who enters the country?
There was a family of three who was just murdered in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant, GANG MEMBER, who had been arrested before, but was allowed to stay in San Fran due to its status as a "sanctuary city."
I'm a black guy. The Americans who are losing jobs to illegal immigrants are mostly black low-wage earners. How bout we take care of home first before accepting the poor from every foreign country in the world.
I'm confused? (KDork)
Was that a serious question?

Maybe it's because I haven't slept much in the last couple of days, but I don't understand what you're saying about their names and their posts popping up right away?
I just find it very suspicious.
No, actually this is my only account. My name is Jared Teer and I live in Olympia, WA if you want to check my myspace.
I guess it's shocking for liberals to hear an articulate black man who doesn't need or want them to speak for him.
I think I raised a legitimate question. I think Savage raises a good point.
And it's my people, black people---the oppressed minority that liberals are supposed to care so much about---that lose jobs to illegal immigrants.
So why so up in arms over Savage's comment? It shows me how transparent you really are. Your response to my post and the responses to Savage's comment on this issue, shows me that you don't care if there is any truth in the issue he brings up, but that you transparently attack anything he says.
And that's a flawed argument, because it's the same ones that whites used to justify discrimination against blacks: "They'll work for less, so they'll take jobs away from us." It's the same argument that's always used to deny poorer people an equal place in a labor market.
There are two issues here, and it's important to distinguish them: illegal immigration, and xenophobia. The reason I object to Michael Savage's rants on these topics is that he thoroughly mixes the two.
It's not that hard to argue that we should reduce illegal immigration: it's illegal, and illegal immigrants are easily exploited because they're unable to freely seek protections under the law. But that's not a very sexy radio topic. Xenophobia, on the other hand, is.
Savage's rants about how illegal immigrants are stealing jobs and perpetrating crimes and raping the Statue of Liberty, etc... -- none of these 'arguments' have anything to do with illegal immigrants as illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than citizens. Raping the Statue of Liberty? That's a not-so-veiled appeal to fears about ethnic minorities' untamed sexuality. (It's frequently used against Africans and African Americans: the terror of pure white women being raped by uncontrollably sexual black men.) As for stealing jobs... exactly how is it "stealing" when one is paid for work? The fault there clearly lies with employers, not with the employees.
Illegal aliens aren't taking jobs from African Americans: unscrupulous and criminal employers would rather hire an undocumented worker than an African American citizen. That's worth getting angry about, but the anger should be directed at the party that is abusing its power. And the illegal immigrant has a whole lot less power in this situation than the employer who is breaking the law and discriminating against qualified citizens.
I guess it's shocking for liberals to hear an articulate black man who doesn't need or want them to speak for him.
LOL, I hate to bust your bubble Jared, but there are several VERY intelligent, articulate black men who post on this site.
I think I raised a legitimate question. I think Savage raises a good point. And it's my people, black people---the oppressed minority that liberals are supposed to care so much about---that lose jobs to illegal immigrants.
As a 73 years old African American woman, I understand that Hispanics are simply doing what everyone else is doing, trying to making a living, trying to take care of their families, trying to get ahead. As an African American I understand the struggle and don't blame Hispanics for trying. And by the way, stop pretending there's a line of African Americans wanting to work at McDonald or wash cars in 110 degree heat. You know back in the 60's that's what some white folks said about African Americans.
So why so up in arms over Savage's comment? It shows me how transparent you really are.
Because if Savage wants a response to his comments he should try making an intelligent comment. Save the racist ranting, they have no place in an honest discussion. You simply have chosen to ignore his racist rants, which tells me a little something about you.
What was "racist" about his rant? I don't see one racial slur in what he said.
So he's passionate when he speaks? So what!
Do you disagree with him on the issue? Do you think he's wrong on the ISSUE?
Are you Ok with illegal immigrants coming and going as they please, taking jobs from Americans(whether the people who hire them are to blame or not), and abusing our medical and school system?
So you missed the slurs about the Italians? Admittedly, more a set of national/ethnic slurs than racist ones, but they were pretty impressive:
"...[Y]eah, drink your chianti, eat your mortadella, Schmi -- Guido. Go eat your mortadella, Guido, tell me how wonderful Tuscany is... Go ahead, go stuff your face with mortadella and drink your chianti and think the world is fine because you become an old drunk in an undershirt..."
Classy. And that was directed towards the Italians for doing something that Savage actually supports: deploying soldiers domestically. But how did you miss all that?
Did you also miss it when Savage said that Obama would be an "affirmative action president"?
Did you happen to overlook Savage when he said that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is part of "a racket that is used to exploit primarily heterosexual, Christian, white males' birthright and steal from them what is their birthright and give it to people who didn't qualify for it."
Savage traffics in racial provocation. He routinely portrays Mexican illegal immigrants as an invading horde of diseased, violent criminals and angry racists. This shouldn't come as a surprise to you.
Are you Ok with illegal immigrants coming and going as they please, taking jobs from Americans(whether the people who hire them are to blame or not), and abusing our medical and school system?
One thing this old African American woman has learned is not to continue to make the same stupid mistakes over and over.
There was a time, not so very long ago, when white workers were saying the same stupid crap you're saying about illegals, about African Americans. They would whine things like "they're taking all the good jobs" and "they're ruining this country". You should know better than to blame an entire group of people based on the actions of a few.
I notice you want to sidestep the employer of illegals and place all the blame on illegal immigrants themselves. Don't forget, they wouldn't come here if there were no jobs. They wouldn't own homes or cars if banks hadn't wanted their money.
Business wanted money and they didn't give a damn if the person was legal or illegal. Ignoring that main fact makes it hard to discuss the issue of illegal immigration with you.
Nope. It shows I have no tolerance for eliminationist rhetoric from neo-fascists.
Read this article about abusive employers:
http://online.wsj.com/article/fighting_words.html
In 2006, the Jewish Daily Forward reported on AgriProcessors workers' complaints about low wages -- between $6.25 and $7 an hour -- and about receiving almost no safety training before starting jobs that are, statistically, among the most dangerous of jobs in the work force.
But why didn't the packers just demand more money, or scold their bosses for being inconsiderate?
Because their bosses had them over a barrel. Many of them were illegal immigrants, had probably borrowed money to come to Iowa, and consequently were "very malleable," in the words of University of Northern Iowa anthropologist Mark Grey, an expert on the local meatpacking industry. "They're at the mercy of whomever's going to hire them. They're at the mercy of their employer, at the mercy of the immigration authorities. You're going to do what the boss says or they'll turn you in to la migra [border patrol]."
OK, so where was Ms. Chao? Sure, the Labor Department is investigating AgriProcessors now, but what has this exemplary agency been doing for the past seven years? When department officials weren't dreaming up schemes for "voluntary compliance" with federal rules by businesses, they were getting tough with labor unions -- the one institution that can be relied on to protect blue-collar workers.
"The reason AgriProcessors employed 13-year-old children was because they could," Mark Lauritsen of the United Food and Commercial Workers, which has tried to organize the company's workers, told me. "Because they knew the federal Department of Labor would never come down on them."
Blind leading the blind.
Illegal Aliens have taken these positions now. Putting many Americans out of a job.
LOL
Yeah right. I just passed McDonald's where the line for job applicants was out the door and the car wash down the street was no different.<sarcasm>
The Universe disagrees with you.
How come you didn't put an extra "H' in "with," as you do in "w(h)ere" and "w(h)arehouse?"
You disagree with me?
You generalize too much.
African Americans were the dominate work force in car washes and fast food places about 30 years ago. And yes, you see a much larger population of Latinos currently doing those jobs but you don't know if they're illegal. The fact that African Americans are no longer the dominate group working in those jobs cannot be attributed solely to illegal immigration. There is a host of reasons why African Americans are not longer doing those jobs, better educated/better jobs/higher prison population rates, just to name a few.
About 30/40 years ago most nannies and, housekeepers were African Americans. White families found it cheaper to pay illegal immigrants because they didn't have to pay benefits (social security) because their nannies/housekeepers were illegal. They could demand overtime and not fear refusal, after all they could threaten to report their illegal status to the authorities.
Nothing about this issue is as black and white as you're trying to make it.
Just a suggestion.
He's a neo-fascist who intends to watch our democracy die.
He fears the freedom and the liberal principles in which our great nation is rooted.
I have little doubt that Savage felt a swell of pride when he learned of the evil Jim Adkisson performed against those sweet people in Tennessee. But I do not hate Savage. I will obstinately resist allowing myself to be swallowed by the same kind of hatred that has deformed his conscience.
I pity his wretched soul.
A Vision,,,, Michael Revere riding in his Lincoln Navigator through the streets of San Francisco, (with Michael Douglas and Karl Malden in the back) screaming at the top of his lungs, "the Illegal Immigrants are Coming, the Illegal Immigtrants are Coming". And what does he think he will get in response? Everyone running to get their guns?
P.S. Mikey Revere, it has probably be done many times over. My question is, what will you wear?
P.S.S. Mikey Revere, you have evolved into a anticipated bore. "It's Tuesday, what can I say today that will get me ratings?" Michael Revere Savage
Dr. Michael Savage, I agree with you 100%
There is a civic debate to be had on immigration, but to inject violence into the subject is to signal that pragmatic solutions are not part of your thinking. Violence, resentment and anger, Savage's tools, only serves to divide us along ideological lines.
We can and should curtail the mass migration across our border, but the solution needs to be found in holistic solutions, not narrow thinking.
It's because the elitists from both sides encourage, promote and are involved with globalism. Greed + Money = Power...Power + Greed = more Money...Money + more Power = more Greed...and the circle remain unbroken.
The super wealthy, elitists and shadow government are intent on destroying the middle class of all countries which is the only entity in their way of total control. With the middle class destroyed, what is left is a huge mass of uneducated poor that can be herded like cattle into whatever use they desire. The middle class collectively has significant wealth and a great deal of education...two huge threats to the shadow government and globalists. They are hell-bent on it's destruction which is clearly evident with relocation of industry, outscorcing, unfair treaties, assults our law enforcement-health care-social-educational systems, open borders and massive allowance of third world immigration.
While you obviously believe that this is an elitist's war on the rest of us, what I don't understand is where and how you take the intellectual plunge and blame immigrant pawns in the struggle for our problems.
A US GAO study found in a study population of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated, on average, each had been arrested 8 times for a total arrest figure of at least 459,614 times. If that isn't astounding enough, these 55,322 illegals in the study population had been arrested for committing 700,000 criminal offenses, which averages 13 crimes per illegal alien. So, each illegal alien incarcerated had been arrested 8 times and had committed at least 13 crimes.
Your numbers lack context.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, in 2005, 25% of prisoners in federal prisons were illegal aliens, and 4% were legal aliens. This proportion has not gone down; if anything, it has gone up markedly. Tom DeWeese, President of the American Policy Institute states that today, illegal aliens make up twenty nine percent of the U.S. prison population. Bill O'Reilly is on record more recently stating that illegal aliens account for 32% of the federal and state prison population.
Please cite your source for these statistics. I've heard these numbers thrown around quite a bit, but I've never seen them linked back to the DOJ and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. If you can find a statistic from the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics that backs up your claim, I'd be interested.
Yah internment of the Japanese population in WW2 seemed like such a good idea too. If you'd bothered to read the rest of this thread, you'd have noticed, the government figures do not support you.
Still B+ for fear mongering.
Congratulations, Media Matters, once again, you took Savage's comments out of context.
OK, what context makes Weiner's misogynist and racist tripe palatable?
Consider this troll amnesty.
Pathetic appeasers. I said molested, not raped. Big difference. Try reading it again.

Sorry, but YOU should know, to a child there is no difference.
Rape is intercourse against the persons will (male or female)
Well, there he goes again.
