Michael Savage Turns to Hillary Clinton for help on UK Ban

Michael Savage has turned to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in an attempt to remove his name off the UK ban-list.

Lawyers for Savage are formally asking she call on the British Government to withdraw its ban on the top-rated radio talk host, who is based here in SF. (Savage broadcasts on KNEW 910 AM, weekdays, 3-7PM)
Savage has hinted strongly that he may sue the UK for defamation of character and most legal experts agree he would have a strong case.

In an announcement of the ban May 5 by British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, Savage, the letter notes, was listed among radical "Muslim clerics, convicted criminals and Russian skinheads."

The letter, signed by Thomas More Law Center President, Richard Thompson, also asks Clinton's State Department to find out how Savage's name ended up on the list.

Savage's radio show is not broadcast in the UK and it's unlikely many UK citizens had even heard of him.
