Radio hosts Brian Sussman, Mark Davis, Lars Larson, Bob Grant, Jim Quinn, and Rose Tennent repeated the discredited claim that President-elect Barack Obama has not produced a valid birth certificate and is not eligible for the presidency because he is not a natural-born citizen.
In fact, the Obama campaign posted a copy of Obama’s birth certificate on its Fight the Smears website and reportedly provided the original to FactCheck.org, whose staff concluded that it “meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship.”

Savage on the Mumbai attacks: “Should the tribal areas in Pakistan be wiped out and the rats killed in there once and for all?”
Discussing the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, Michael Savage said: “Should the tribal areas of Pakistan be wiped out and the rats killed in there once and for all?

Savage later added: “What the heck do we have nuclear weapons for? What are tactical nuclear weapons for but to wipe out an enemy? The enemy lives there — kill them and their families, and show them that the terror they inflict on the West will come home to roost and will be inflicted on them.”

Savage Lies: The Half-Truths, Distortions and Outright Lies of a Right-Wing Blowhard
Product Description: Radio talk show host and author Michael Savage has for years been given free rein to distort facts, cherrypick information and just plain lie in supporting his radical conservative opinions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the three books Savage considers his “legacy.” But now, award-winning journalist Bill Bowman puts the truth to Savage’s lies, revealing Savage’s rampant egotism, sloppy research and willingness to spin “facts” out of whole cloth. This is not an attack on Savage’s opinions. It is, however, a long-overdue fact checking of some of the bedrock arguments Savage uses to substantiate those opinions. About the Author: Bill Bowman is a journalist with more than 20 years’ experience covering issues on the local, state and national levels. His reporting has led to judicial findings of ethical violations and influence peddling on the part of local officials, to the expansion of financial reporting requirements of New Jersey Superior, Supreme and Tax Court judges and to the establishment of a first-in-the-nation program that provided life-saving thermal imaging cameras to every fire department and fire academy in New Jersey. | Read All Reviews | |
