Bay Area immigrant rights advocates say radio host Michael Savage should be fired for using hateful language when suggesting supporters of an immigration reform bill who fasted in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza last week should starve to death.

During a July 5 broadcast of "The Savage Nation," his nationally syndicated talk show, Savage said, "I would say let them fast till they starve to death ... because then we won't have a problem about giving them green cards because they're illegal aliens."

More than 30 protesters publicly denounced Savage and the on-air remarks outside San Jose City Hall on Thursday and said his comments should not be disregarded on the basis of constitutional free speech.

The group, which included San Jose State students who participated in the hunger strike and a variety of community activists, called on radio stations such as Clear Channel Radio's KNEW 910 AM in San Francisco to apologize for airing vile language and hate speech and cheered in support of the immigrant students who fasted.

1. After at least the last ten years,

it seems to me that each and every slanderous right wing lepper on radio and tv is getting publically slammed back more and more every day for the shit they spout instead of getting away with it unscathed like they were allowed to do in the past.

The tide has truly turned regardless of their ratings, and with it these egomaniacs are probable to implosion, just like their political party is currently

So, shout-outs and continued success to all the Keith Olbermans, Media Matters, and Fox NewsHounds in this country; and for each and every stand-up individual like the protestors who push the buttons of those inhumane hateful bastards.
