I think he is not completely sane but this is crazy.

The United States should demand the order be taken back with a personal apology and in the meantime cancel all visas from Britain until its resolved.

But that's just me.

This is the kind of thing we'll see more of. The Fairness Doctrine will work its way into reality sooner than we think.

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.

So England can ban people from entering the country just because they dont agree with what the person says.

But we cant secure our own borders?????

Could you imagine the uproar from leftist groups, if a talk show host like sayyy, Al Franken was banned from the uk.

LOL don't get so high and mighty. The State Department routinely denies visas for people with criminal records from entering America legally. Nothing wrong with that.

If only Britian bothered to do this too. Or health screened immigrants for diseases like TB which countries like Canada have done for nearly 100 years.

As for banning certain people. Great. About time. It would be a Huuuuge list if I had anything to do with it.

Not sure why they've picked on Savage though. I can't say I've ever heard of him before. He's not been to the UK in 25 years and hadn't applied to come. Update: Oh he said the Koran was a book of hate. Can't have that, not with so many moslems in the county these days.

I guess I would not be welcome either. I've said as much. Why not ban some atheists while you are at it? Oh, that's right. It's OK to offend Christians. What about all the hate speech from Muslims? Are they going to ban them? Oh, that's right. It's OK to offend Jews, too.

I actually like listening to Savage once in awhile....he's a good reminder of what true conservative principles are. The problem is that he is also a raging bigot and pretty much hates anyone not white and Christian....he would deny this of course but his doubletalk gets a little tiresome from time to time. I don't disagree with this statement at all from the article:

"This is someone who has fallen into the category of fomenting hatred, of such extreme views and expressing them in such a way that it is actually likely to cause inter-community tension or even violence if that person were allowed into the country."

Call him by his real name: Wiener

[kbohip]

Never heard of him.

Well when you look at the list, most of them are Islamofascists, with the odd white supremacist thrown in for good measure.

Pity we didn't ban Karl Marx back in the 19th century.

And what are those?

[BlackDragon24]

Fiscal responsibility, smaller government, states rights, etc.

He was one of the few right wingers who continually called out Bush.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic....

Where was your outrage when Yusuf Islam -a UK citizen- was denied entry to the US?

Where was your outrage when Yusuf Islam -a UK citizen- was denied entry to the US?

Never heard of that incident but with a little investigation:

Yusuf Islam believed his inclusion on the watch list may have simply been an error, a mistaken identification of him for a man with the same name, but different spelling. On 1 October 2004 Yusuf Islam requested the removal of his name, "I remain bewildered by the decision of the US authorities to refuse me entry to the United States."[56] According to a statement by Yusuf Islam, the man on the list was named "Youssef Islam", indicating that Yusuf Islam himself was not the suspected terrorism supporter.[7]

Two years later, in December 2006, Yusuf Islam was admitted without incident into the United States for several radio concert performances and interviews to promote his new record.[57] Islam said of the incident at the time, that, "No reason was ever given, but being asked to repeat the spelling of my name again and again, made me think it was a fairly simple mistake of identity. Rumors which circulated after made me imagine otherwise."[58]

Aah, if these are his principles, I can see why the UK government is scared enough of him to ban him from the country.

Cat Stevens a convert to Islam and a constant apologist for Islam who donated to Islamic charities fronting for terrorist groups. Yeah, let him in.
