On the June 12 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, Michael Savage called liberal financier George Soros, a “punk, lying, coward, Satanist, backstabbing freak,” adding, “It's people like you who brought about the Holocaust, Soros. I stand by those words.”

Savage was commenting on an interview of Soros published in the June 11 issue of The New York Times Magazine. After reading selections from the interview, Savage said of Soros, "[P]eople like you give Jews a bad name, Soros," repeating that he “stand[s] by” his statement that "[i]t's people like you who brought about the Holocaust, Soros."

As Media Matters for America has noted, Savage has previously compared Soros to Adolf Hitler's minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, and labeled Soros “a money changer in the temple of truth.”

From the June 12 broadcast of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:

SAVAGE: For all your doubts about the unbridled pursuit of self interest, few people have benefited more from capitalism than you. He says: I'm happy to acknowledge that. I have a platform because I made a lot of money. If I were just an intellectual, an obscure university professor, I would be saying these things and I wouldn't be heard.

Hey George, let me tell you something, I don't have as much money as you. I have 50,000 times the influence that you do, you punk, lying, coward, Satanist, backstabbing freak. You're the people -- people like you give Jews a bad name, Soros. It's people like you who brought about the Holocaust, Soros. I stand by those words. I stand by those words. I would debate you tomorrow, Soros, on any platform, anywhere. I'll debate you anywhere. It's people like you who brought about the Holocaust, Soros. That's why I need you to shut your mouth and understand the damage you're doing to this world and to the Jewish people, George Soros.
