Rod Parsley, whom Sen. John McCain has reportedly referred to as "a spiritual guide," has made "some inflammatory statements of which I agree with 100 percent." Savage then played clips in which Parsley stated that "America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion [Islam] destroyed" and that supporters of same-sex marriage "are seeking to redefine marriage. In other words, they are intending to pervert God's original intention." http://mediamatters.org/items/200805150009 Thu, 15 May 2008 17:49:11 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804150006 Michael Savage asserted that Sen. Barack Obama is "a Marxist in his heart," adding, "He's an Afro-Leninist, and I know he's dangerous." Savage also claimed that if Sen. Hillary Clinton wins the election, "you're gonna get more of the lesbian-feminist propaganda thrown in your face than with [Sen. John] McCain, but other than that, it's gonna be almost the same exact -- the same exact administration." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804150006 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:55:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804070001 On his radio show, Michael Savage falsely asserted that Sen. Barack Obama was a Muslim and attended a madrassa, stating: "Now we have an unknown stealth candidate who went to a madrassas in Indonesia and, in fact, was a Muslim." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804070001 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 11:25:57 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804010007 On his radio show, Michael Savage stated, "Cops are getting knocked off all over the country because of the rules of engagement, written primarily by the scummiest class in America, the vermin of vermin, which are the left-wing lawyers who should be put in Abu Ghraib with hoods over their head, as far as I'm concerned." He then stated: "If I had the power by executive order, I would round up every member of the ACLU and of the National Lawyers Guild, and I'd put them in a prison in Guant&aacute;namo and I'd throw the key away." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804010007 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 18:37:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803280011 Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama has "never reached across the aisle as a senator in legislation." In fact, Obama was a key co-sponsor of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act. In a press release upon Senate passage of the bill, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn himself referred to the legislation as the "Coburn-Obama Bill." Obama has also worked with Republicans on other bills. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803280011 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 19:23:19 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803190006 Michael Savage stated of Sen. Barack Obama: "I think he was hand-picked by some very powerful forces both within and outside the United State of America to drag this country into a hell that it has not seen since the Civil War of the middle of the 19th century." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803190006 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:20:53 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802290017 Michael Savage repeatedly referred to Sen. Barack Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama" and asked, "[W]hy are there no queries being provoked by Saddam Hussein -- I mean, Barack Hussein Obama?" Savage continued: "If, after all, the arch-enemy of Iraq, his name was Saddam Hussein, isn't it logical that us stupid Americans would like to know why the man who would be president has a name that's similar to our -- to our enemy in Iraq, Hussein?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200802290017 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:54:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802220012 On his radio show, Michael Savage falsely asserted that Sen. Barack Obama is a Muslim, claiming that "[w]e have a right to know if he's a so-called friendly Muslim or one who aspires to more radical teachings." The Obama campaign website states that Obama "has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802220012 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 18:53:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802120004 Discussing the recent death of Rep. Tom Lantos, Michael Savage stated, "You're not supposed to talk badly about the dead. I generally wouldn't do it. But in the case of Tom Lantos, I'll make an exception. I think he was one of the most -- he was a scoundrel. And I'll tell you why I detested Tom Lantos. The man survived the Holocaust of World War II and used it as a weapon the rest of his life." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802120004 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:44:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801310003 On <em>The Savage Nation</em>, a caller identified by Michael Savage as "Kojo" asked Savage: "[D]o you know how the AIDS got there [Africa]?" Savage responded: "It got there because it was spread from eating green monkey meat, my friend. If you study the science -- but I don't think you have the capacity to understand science, my dear friend Kojo." Later, Savage stated: "See, we don't live in Africa where people settle arguments with machetes. We live in a country where we settle it with arguments. Something you apparently don't know anything about. ... Couldn't use the machete so his mind went blank. There, that's what we got. There's multiculturalism for you. There's immigration for you. There's the new America for you. Bring them in by the millions. Bring in 10 million more from Africa. Bring them in with AIDS. Show how multicultural you are. They can't reason, but bring them in with a machete in their head. Go ahead. Bring them in with machetes in their mind." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801310003 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:03:58 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801110013 Discussing an Associated Press article about presidential candidates and their first cars, nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage referred falsely to Sen. Barack Obama as "Barack Madrassas Obama." As <em>Media Matters for America</em> has documented, the allegation that Obama was educated in a madrassa has been thoroughly disproved. http://mediamatters.org/items/200801110013 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:06:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709190012 On his radio show, Michael Savage responded to a <em>Media Matters</em> item noting that his website used the following headline in linking to an article: "BULL-DYKE FASCIST TASERS STUDENT WHO ASKS KERRY TOO MANY QUESTIONS." Savage asserted that "a fascist, gay website named <em>Media Matters</em> has attacked me for pointing out that it was a so-called feminist type who tasered the student who asked [Sen. John] Kerry too many questions." http://mediamatters.org/items/200709190012 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 19:51:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709180009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709180009 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 15:24:58 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708040001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708040001 Fri, 3 Aug 2007 20:03:09 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708010012 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708010012 Wed, 1 Aug 2007 18:48:01 EST
