On the January 11 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage referred to Media Matters for America as "a homosexual, fascist website." He continued: "Let me explain who Media Matters is. ... It's run by a bunch of fascist homosexuals. They're the brownshirts of our time." The brownshirts were Nazi storm troopers who aided Adolf Hitler's rise to power. Savage made his comments while discussing a lawsuit he has filed against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Savage also claimed that Media Matters was "founded by [Sen.] Hillary Clinton [D-NY]." As it has repeatedly noted, Media Matters is a progressive nonprofit organization unaffiliated with any candidate or political party.
Savage has attacked Media Matters on several occasions, calling the organization a "hate group"; a "group of gay Mafioso"; "the homosexual Mafia"; and "a gay smear sheet." Additionally, on the June 12, 2007, broadcast of his radio show, Savage compared the "progressive movement" to the Nazi storm troopers, saying, "[T]hey are the brownshirts of today."
Talk Radio Network, which syndicates Savage's show, says that Savage is heard on more than 350 radio stations. And according to Talkers Magazine, The Savage Nation reaches more than 8 million listeners each week, making it one of the most listened-to talk radio shows in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.......
