In an apparent implosion of right wing nut jobs, Michael Savage is now teeing off on Rush Limbaugh:

Right-wing radio host Michael Savage attacked fellow conservative talker Rush Limbaugh, calling him the "biggest phony" and a "fraud."

Apparently Michael Savage is furious that Limbaugh hasn't supported him in his battle against the UK, which banned him from visiting the country:

SAVAGE: And yet here in America, I've had some people come to my aid. They see the bigger picture. They're not like O'Reilly; they're not like Limbaugh, who's the biggest disappointment of all. Limbaugh has turned out to be the biggest phony of all of them, all of them. Amongst all of them, he is the biggest fraud. Rush Limbaugh is a fraud. When he was accused of the drug usage, I supported him. But that man is a one-way street. It's all about him. He's in it for nobody but himself.

Actually, Savage has been teed off about Rush Limbaugh for several years, calling him "the golfer" and "the disc jockey" and some others.

Savage is the most educated with his Ph.D. in botany and his Masters in epidemiology. He does know more than a bit of science.

His weakness is a certain self-indulgence in terms of feeling sorry for himself, but I can understand that this being banned must feel awful.

His banning is a major free speech issue and a violation of international law, European law, is completely unprincipled and without precedent.

The British idiot that banned him will lose the battle in the courts.

Roy, there is a difference between free speech and hate speech, and Britain should be commended for standing firm in its position to refuse hate-preachers, anti-gay protesters, and far-right US talk show host, Savage. See, Named and shamed: the 16 barred from the UK.

Let's hope then that "The British idiot that banned him will [not] lose the battle in the courts."

Next England will ban free speech period. BTW, I am no fan of Savage but this was a set up to include someone from the US along side all the radical Muslims that they were afraid to make their names public.

Rhonda must not even listen to his shows. his words were taken out of context to try to make him look like a bad guy. Apparently, she thinks that anything that doesn't support her opinion is hate speech. Apparently, being angry at the way things are run around here in the U.S or U.K is hate speech. Apparently, speaking your own mind is hate speech. It is people like this Rhonda who continue to hurt America and the U.K, not Michael Savage. I guess if I said the U.K prime minister was a piece of garbage, it is my own opinion. Should I be banned for it? No. People should have the right to voice their opinions whether you like it or not. Britain as we know no longer supports peoples freedoms. It is a sad day indeed.

I just wanted to say that the opinion of the prime minister is not my own, but rather an untrue example of a point I was trying to make

i wanted to clarify my views of the prime minister are different from the example I gave above. It was just an example, and was not trying to use defamation against the U.K prime minister.
