Michael 'Savage' Weiner drops suit against Islamic Group

I guess in Weiner's world he's entitled to his free speech but when others post about his nincompoop ramblings they are not allowed their free speech.

Michael Savage Drops Suit Against Islamic Group
SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) ― A lawsuit filed by conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage against a Muslim civil rights group came to an end Thursday when Savage's lawyer told a federal judge in San Francisco that he won't try to amend it.

Savage sued the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, known as CAIR, last year after it posted on its Web site a four-minute excerpt of anti-Islamic comments by Savage along with a critique of his words.

Savage made the comments during an Oct. 29, 2007, broadcast of The Savage Nation, a nationally syndicated show based in San Francisco.

They included remarks that "you can take (CAIR) and throw them out of my country" and that Muslims were "screaming for the blood of Christians or Jews or anyone they hate."

Last month, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston dismissed the lawsuit. She permanently dismissed Savage's claim of copyright infringement, saying that CAIR's posting of the comments for the purposes of criticism was protected by the right of free speech.

But the judge said Savage could try to amend a second claim of racketeering by trying to show specific alleged financial harm by CAIR to his business. She gave Savage a deadline of Friday.

I sent a letter to my local am station objecting to his comments on autistic kids but they never replied. And he is still on the air every day.

No reply yet.

I know a few mortgage companies run ads during it

I think it was posted on the MO forum?

I heard Mizzou was one but they dropped their ads.

I for one would really like to see how much money Mr. Weiner receives for his demented ramblings, and where it comes from. I'm guessing that Weiner doesn't darken the courtroom door ever again.
