The growing-like-weeds Michael Savage billboards - somebody please . . .

They're popping up like weeds if anyone hasn't noticed, at least here in the East Bay and by the highways. It's bizarre, since he hasn't done well recently - so why push so hard on this ad campaign? It's sickening to have this extremely racist person on a billboard in the middle of the most low income and multi-ethnic parts of the city, the place where no one has the time or resources to fight it.

I was going to put an email down on here to complain, but they don't have one listed for the local sales office - gee, wonder why? - only phone and fax numbers. So write them an email and fax it to them.

(btw - my google search turned up an sf imc posting . . . maybe now that Israel has nukes on subs it's okay to say zionazi again??)

But then I found this anti-savage site that has good info, although hasn't been updated recently . . .

Michael Savage's "The Savage Nation", syndicated by TRN to over 300 radio stations nationwide, is the fifth most highly rated radio talk show in the nation according to Talkers Magazine, reaching an audience of between 4 and 8 million daily. Until today, Savage had hosted a television talk show of the same name on MSNBC. Savage's history of controversial statements led to widespread protests when news of the latter became public, with organizations such as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamaation (GLAAD), the National Organization for Women (NOW) and Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) all launching efforts to discourage sponsors from advertising on it.
