Radio host sues CAIR for quoting him

December 5th, 2007

What do you do if you are a bigoted, American radio talk show host and was quoted by an Islamic civil rights group as having referred to the Qur’an as “a throwback document” and a “book of hate”? You sue them in court, of course.

A conservative radio talk show host sued an Islamic civil rights group on Monday for copyright infringement over the organization’s use of a portion of his show in which he called the Quran a “book of hate.”

Michael Savage said the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American- Islamic Relations, or CAIR, violated his rights by wrongfully using a 4-minute segment of his Oct. 29 “The Savage Nation” show in a letter- writing campaign directed against talk radio advertisers. Audio from the show remained on CAIR’s Web site Monday.

LOL, whatever happened to “free speech”? It seems that the Land of the Free is not so “free” after all when it comes to Islamophobes and their sense of myopic “superiority” (not!) over Islam. So what did Savage really say that made him all hot and bothered over it?
