Ok, so I listened to this MS clip, and at 1:57 he talks about Gitmo:

Now compare that with this video from two years ago at 0:40:

i was expecting a bigger contradiction. but really, isn't he just saying, we can't release gitmo muslims, but we're still wasting too much money on them?

[Mitt Romneys sideburns]

I don't think he is actually being inconsistent here. He thinks gitmo is too expensive and should be shut down, but he doesn't think the prisoners should be sent into the general federal prison population. He thinks they should close down gitmo and rebuild it in a more cost effective location.

[CaptainAmerica]

what he should really be asking is : "Why are they in illegal prisons being held captive for very secretive reasons on the other side of Cuba,outside of u.s. jurisdiction and without a fair and speedy trial involving evidence?".

People forget the legality of things like this. What people dont realize is they think they are protecting us, when in fact they are only doing it so they are outside of their own laws. People dont realize WE could end up there...

Michael Savage - What Is Israel Waiting For,Until Poppa Obama Gives Them Permission
..


After seeing the title of thread I thought Savage had been shipped to Gitmo, not that I would have a problem if Obama sent him there and non-tortured (waterboarded) this neocon vermin thoroughly. But did he just blame Bush for Iraq war and resulting bankruptcy of America? He must think people have short memory, I used to tune in to his radio show now and then years ago. This neocon scum Michael Savage aka Michael Weiner was a huge cheerleader of Iraq invasion and mass killing of arabs in Iraq/mideast, it's amazing this scum is still allowed to be on air. He has also been beating the drums for US to attack/nuke Iran.

Found this in quick google search, his other old clips must be hidden somewhere online.


Savage: Iraq war is "white man's burden"

March 22, 2006 3:25 pm ET

During the March 20 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage declared that Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden" applied to the situation in Iraq. Kipling's poem, written in 1899, is widely believed to have been written as an endorsement of the U.S. invasion of the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. The poem describes the indigenous, colonized peoples of the world as "half-devil and half-child" and goes on to describe imperialism as a noble, if doomed, venture.

Savage cited Kipling's poem to justify the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq, claiming that Americans must "choose between American imperialism and Muslim imperialism."

The alternative to imperialism or colonialism of these fanatics is a thousand years of darkness. The reverse is also true; in other words, it's either our colonialism or Muslim imperialism. I mean, you've got to make a choice here. You know, when you say that "America is a colonialist or imperialist nation," as the idiots in college are saying -- if you say that in a vacuum, it sounds like we're a bad nation and bad people, but you have to counter it with the fact that you have Muslim expansionism and Islamic imperialism -- in other words, a religious imperialism that is fighting us right now, so you have to decide which side you're on. Do you want to live in a thousand years of Islamic rule? Do you want to live with a sword hanging over your head? Do you want your wife or your girlfriend or your daughter to walk around in a black costume with her face covered? Is that what you want? Do you clitorectomies performed in hospitals because they don't want a woman to have any pleasure? Do you want every other religion outlawed? Do you want the churches and the synagogues closed or blown up? Because that's what you're arguing for if you are saying we are an imperialist nation.

America’s laziest fascist

Infamous shock jock Michael Savage bombed in a bizarre, half-baked stage show this week, but his 6 million listeners just heard him call for the U.S. to murder millions of Arabs. Does the FCC care?

Not that he’s the shy, retiring type. Lately, as the Iraq torture scandal has dominated the headlines, he has taken to calling Arabs “non-humans” and has called for the U.S. to kill “thousands” of Iraqi prisoners and nuke a random Arab capital.

Title of OP clip is ironic, it mentions Israel but Michael Weiner declares Italy and US welfare states when he talks.
