This is the new tactic for the left. Get the European’s and the Brits to label our right wingers as extremists and dangerous. They will also encourage the Spanish to prosecute our politicians and warriorts.
Zero will use this to pound on the Right and GOP.

It’s a subtle threat aimed at all who dare oppose socialism and communism.

Interesting, the Home Sec has grouped him in with Fred Phelps, skinHeads, KKK, neoNazis and this group the "Independent" minimized as also rans:

Making up the rest of the 16 named by the Home Office today are preachers Wadgy Abd El Hamied Mohamed Ghoneim, Abdullah Qadri Al Ahdal, Safwat Hijazi and Amir Siddique, Muslim activist Abdul Ali Musa (previously Clarence Reams), murderer and Hezbollah terrorist Samir Al Quntar and Kashmiri terror group leader Nasr Javed.

“Coming to this country is a privilege. If you can’t live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what’s more, now we will make public those people that we have excluded. “

Frankly, I find this discriminatory, spiteful, and just plain insulting.

Holding certain opinions and expressing them in one’s country does not means that one will necessarily do so as a guest when one is elsewhere. Savage, while certainly over-the-top at times for my tastes, is a smart man and certainly knows this.

It’s also pretty damn hypocritical. When we try to hold people up to the Christian standards and values upon which we built this country, the American equivalents of these thought police go ballistic and say we’re intolerant.

They are punishing people for thoughts, nothing more and nothing less.

Thought police.

This is the beginning of the end of talk radio. These talk radio hosts need to put rivalry aside and band together now to fight this before it’s too late.

Here's thei HO's "rational"

MICHAEL ALAN WEINER (ALSO KNOWN AS MICHAEL SAVAGE)

Controversial daily radio talk-show host. Considered to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence.

His views on immigration, Islam, rape and autism have caused great offence in the US.

"have caused great offence in the US"? I thought this was a UK issue? I suppose the HO believes Media Matters is a credible source.

“This is the new tactic for the left. Get the European’s and the Brits to label our right wingers as extremists and dangerous”

Normally, this wouldn’t bother me at all. Lefties have been doing it since forever. But with the transnationalist movement gaining steam, it’s troubling.

For you see, lefties have control of the various national and super-national bureaucracies (because conservatives are too busy making money and being with their families). They get to set the agendas. They get to form the U.N. Commission on Proper Political Ideologies and the International Right-Wingers-Hate-Everyone Summit. Then they get to point to their very own activism as evidence of “international consensus”. They wait a couple weeks, and whatever they came up with becomes “tradition,” which must be recognized by our courts as “common law”.

Goodbye prerogatives. Goodbye Constitutional protections. It’s already happening with environmentalism, the death penalty, gun-rights, gay “rights”, special women’s rights, and so on. I can see a dark future when the people of the U.S. have nothing to protect their natural rights, the U.S. government has no ability to assert its own sovereignty. The sort of group who banned Michael Savage could very well hold our sovereignty in their hands.

It’s not a fantasy. It’s what lefties do. They pursue the interest of central government. They’ve centralized our own system plenty. Where else is there to go but to annoint a King of the World. God forbid there be any diversity of governance—let alone individual autonomy—anywhere on the globe.

“Controversial daily radio talk-show host. Considered to be engaging in unacceptable behaviour by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence.”

This is absolute B.S. and they know it. Point me to one act of violence connected to Savage. Better yet, point me to one clip of Michael Savage saying anything that could be so construed as to be a direct call for actual violence. Bet you can’t.

How much you wanna bet the U.K. lets in people who have actually been convicted of violent crimes?

I guess all Anti-Christian, Pro-abortion and gays that threaten Conservatives are welcome and considered “full of love”!

This is total BS...Screw you UK! Last time I go over there and spend $$$! Wait, what about Mel Gibson....oh my, he was in “The Patriot” and “Brave Heart”! Oh my, he also made a movie about Jesus....he is VERY dangerous as well.
How about Miss Piggy....she could be responsible for the flu epidemic which I’m sure affected that Radical Frog named “Kermit” and the rest of the gang...

We had better brace for this kind of labeling and attempts to isolate the "right" here at home. Playing defense is not going to hack it. It is time for us to be as bold as ever!

There should be no hiding and no apologizing for our values and beliefs. When a "list" is being kept here at home, I will be glad to sign my name on it. Just like at the TEA parties.

Par for the course for the Socialist and Communist. When they cannot win a political debate they try to silence you by calling it “hate”. Saying something is hate speech because you have lost the political debate displays the intolerance of our free speech. Further proof of what we have been saying the entire time. They have proved they are everything we thought they were.

This is exactly why liberals are incensed with talk radio and capitalism in general. They failed to spread their warped message through garnering market share (eg failure of Air America) since no one wants to listen such nonsense. Realizing they can't compete on a level playing field, they have to resort to Goebbels-esk tactics and bullying to give their message public visibility.

Relevancy through tyranny.

While this is ridiculous, the UK has every right to ban any foreigner from entering that it chooses.

I wish we would do more of that.

I wonder whether Savage had any interest in visiting anyway.
