  • UK bans Michael Savage for being a douchebag

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

This is awesome. I was actually in a bad mood today until I heard this news. For those who don't know, Savage is a former cokehead-turned-right-wing-commentator who's called the Qu'ran "a book of hate" and said that autistic kids are just acting and that their parents need to snap them out of it, among various other incendiary bullying tactics. I swear, this just made my day.

Britain did the same thing to those soldier funeral protestors (forget their names... crazy group). Anyone that is deemed to contribute to inter-country violence can be banned from Britain. So far it's pretty cool with the ones they've publicized, but like most of Britain's big brother laws they have a high risk of being abused.

Westboro Baptist Church, maybe? Fred Phelps is on the same list Savage is on.

He's the "God hates fags" preacher. Something like 80% of his congregagtion is related to him by blood or marriage, which lends an interesting spin to his notion that he has any sort of moral authority to preach about sex with.

Westboro and Phelps are also the ones who protest soldier funerals. They almost protested at the funerals of the shooting victims here, but some radio DJ traded airtime to avoid that.
