On the ban of Michael Savage from Britain:
"In fact, the British government has not identified which specific statements he [Savage] made that they find so objectionable. This is akin to the lettres de cachet used for centuries in the French legal system whereby individuals could be denounced and imprisoned for serious crimes on flimsy grounds and without the full details of their crimes being disclosed to the accused. Even an elementary school student in Britain knows that the British pioneered a legal system that was once the envy of the world precisely because it was based on higher standards of proof and prosecution. This begets the fact that the case is not ultimately about speech; it is about appeasing the Muslim community. This is the politics of jihad, stupid."
