Michael Savage wants to give listeners info to stalk staff members of Media Matters for America

[ck4829]

Right wing talker Michael Savage vowed yesterday during his broadcast that he will retaliate against media watchdog Media Matters for America by posting pictures and “pertinent information” about the organization's staff on his website. He made the comment almost in passing during one of his infamous rants, but did not explain what he expected his followers known as the “Savage Nation” to do with the information.

The history of right wing extremists using “wanted” posters against abortion providers is well documented. Recently the right wing Christian group the American Center for Law and Justice celebrated its court victory for the “truth truck” that promoted incendiary attacks on Dr. George Tiller. Sadly two days later Tiller was dead, assassinated in his place of worship. While the court case and Tiller’s murder cannot be directly linked it demonstrated a certain morbid insensitivity that the group continued to trumpet the court victory after Tiller’s death.

The election of Barack Obama has apparently led to an increase in the stockpiling of weapons by so-called gun rights activists. While anti-Obama celebrities like Chuck Norris, Pat Boone and Ted Nugent have suggested that it is time for a revolution against the U.S. government, others have called for military insurrection based on the theory that Obama is a Muslim “Manchurian Candidate” who was not U.S. born. A recent Tea Party event in Arkansas featured a speaker who vowed that thousands will be dead in the streets in revolt against Obama.

Against this backdrop the threat to post pictures and personal information about media watchdogs as a response to criticism can legitimately be perceived as a threat. Michael Savage may be famous for brash talk and incendiary language, but recent history must be taken into account as his “Savage Nation” may take the talker’s inflammatory posting as marching orders to take action against his enemies.

1. Because he's scared to do it himself

He's a scared little man with a microphone who is in need of serious introspection.

2. ooooh, this would be fun ...

especially when I know the real name and address of a local RW nutcase radio guy ... and his kid ...

Of course, if I did something like that, I'd be thrown in jail ...

[EOTE]

3. Turn about is fair play.

I suggest that as many details regarding Savage's life be posted as possible. He should have the same sense of fear that he gives to the people on his own enemies list. He should know what it's like for a change. Take away Savage's livelihood and see how much he likes it. That disgusting pig's ass needs to have his shit thrown back at him.
