Michael Savage, Fred Phelps banned in Britain
Savage banned in Britain - too "extreme"

LONDON - Britain for the first time has published a list of people barred from entering the country for what the government says is fostering extremism or hatred.

The list includes popular American talk-radio host Michael Savage, who has called the Muslim holy book, the Quran, a "book of hate." Savage also has enraged parents of children with autism by saying in most cases it's "a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out."

The list also includes Americans Stephen Donald Black, a white supremacist, and anti-gay preacher Fred Phelps.

Hamas parliament member Yunis Al-Astal and Egyptian cleric Safwat el-Higazi also are on the banned list.

1. I predict that will just feed the egos of Savage and Phelps.

2. Dr. Weiner is planning lawsuits.
citing something like "First Amendment Attorneys".

last I checked, the UK doesn't have a First Amendment.

And although UK has strong libel/slander/anti-defamation laws, if he chose to go down that road I'm sure he would get smacked down by the justice system, which unlike here in US the UK judges are pretty much all appointed and not really political creatures at all.
