On the May 2 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage attacked the “Nazi” supporters of the Media Ownership Reform Act (MORA), calling its author, Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), the “chief National Socialist, or Nazi,” and claiming that philanthropist George Soros is "[t]he man behind it all." MORA would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to enforce its now-dormant “fairness doctrine,” which required broadcasters covering issues of public importance to fairly present all sides of the debate. Savage asserted that MORA “would declare Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly 'Threats to National Security,' and remove us from the radio,” and that this “is the exact rhetoric that Hitler used in his march to take over Germany.” Savage then proclaimed that “the liberals like Maurice Hinchey want the final solution for conservatives on talk radio.”

On his May 2 show, Savage read a list of MORA's co-sponsors and declared them “the Nazis of today,” who are “far more dangerous than the clownish neo-Nazis that march with swastikas, because these National Socialists mean business, and these National Socialists are congressmen.” Savage referred to Rep. Hinchey as “that cowardly worm from New York” who refused to appear on his show, adding: “The cowardly worm instead wants to worm his way through the back corridors of Congress.” Savage then made a “commitment” that if MORA was ever passed and he were “declared a national enemy or a threat to national security, I will lead 10 million people on Washington” and shut the city down.

Savage accused Soros, whom he called “a billionaire centipede,” as being "[t]he man behind it all," who “is funding these little men.” Savage continued, saying that Soros “is definitely behind it as sure as I am sitting here. This is the man who is the enemy of free speech. I'm warning you.”

MORA would compel the FCC to once again enforce its “fairness doctrine,” which the commission stopped enforcing in 1987. As paraphrased by the Supreme Court when it upheld the doctrine in 1969, it “require[d] that discussion of public issues be presented on broadcast stations, and that each side of those issues must be given fair coverage.” In 1986, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Congress had not mandated the “fairness doctrine,” and eventually, in 1987, the FCC decided it would no longer enforce it. The 2005 version of Hinchey's MORA -- H.R. 3302 (109th Congress), which Savage was referring to -- would mandate that the FCC reinstate that rule as it existed before its 1987 demise.

The bill also contains provisions to limit the number of television and radio stations a single person or company could own. The words “national security,” “jail,” or “prison” do not appear anywhere in the bill. An “updated version” of MORA will be introduced “in the coming weeks,” according to a summary of it on Hinchey's website.

On the May 3 broadcast of his show, Savage continued to smear Soros. After attacking former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey's recent admission to an Episcopal seminary school by asserting, “Think of how much gas he must have wasted cruising the highways and byways of New Jersey ... now when he's inside the seminary, just think about it: the cruising carbon footprint is reduced to near zero,” Savage insisted that he was being “funny” and said of those who didn't think so: “I'd like to give you a hand signal -- that's what I'd like to give you.” He then proclaimed: “Go ahead; go report me to George Soros,” calling Soros “the new Obersturmführer of the New World Order." Savage concluded by exclaiming: “Sieg Heil, Georgie.” As he spoke, Savage played the Connie Francis song "Where the Boys Are"; in fact, the General Theological Seminary in New York City, which admitted McGreevey, admits both men and women.

From the May 2 broadcast of The Savage Nation:

SAVAGE: Today's story, though, is about the enemy within. It's a very important story because I never thought I'd see National Socialism appear in the United States of America. Right now, the most extreme wing of the Democrat Party are aping and mimicking the exact rhetoric of the National Socialist Party of Germany in the 1930s. They call themselves liberals, but ladies and gentleman, I want to remind you they are Nazis by every definition.

On my website, I'm going to read you my headline: “Dems declare Michael Savage 'A threat to national security,' want him removed from radio; using the same rhetoric as Hitler's National Socialists; see sponsors of Nazi bill moving through Congress, H.R. 3302.” Now if it was just left-wingers with their pressure groups saying these things, I would pay no attention to it. We are talking about a bill working its way through Congress that would declare Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly threats to national security and remove us from the radio.

Now, I want you to think about what that means. They're saying that people in the media who they disagree with are a threat to national security. This is the exact rhetoric that Hitler used in his march to take over Germany. If you don't understand the danger that you are in, then you are an ignoramus.

I have a list of the National Socialists who sponsored it on MichaelSavage.com. The Chief National Socialist, or Nazi, is Congressman Maurice Hinchey of New York. I've never heard of this bum, but this bum Congressman Maurice Hinchey is apparently in an area near Woodstock, New York, which is astounding to me that people in Woodstock, New York, who declare themselves such liberals would actually want to take the American media and turn it into a government-owned media.

I guess the liberals like Maurice Hinchey want the final solution for conservatives on talk radio. I've never heard of this bum, but he's up there. And his name is Hinchey. In Woodstock, New York, area. Let's go down the list of this dastardly act, H.R. 3302. Here are the names of the National Socialists of today: Representative DeFazio, Peter. [D-]Oregon. Representative Bob Filner, [D-]California. Representative Alcee Hastings, [D-]Florida. Representative Marcy Kaptur, [D-]Ohio. Representative Barbara Lee, [D-]California. Representative Jim McDermott, [D-]Washington. Representative James Moran, [D-]Virginia. Representative Major Owens, [D-]New York. Representative Bernard Sanders -- he's now a senator -- [I-]Vermont. Representative Janice Schakowsky [D-IL]. Representative Louise Slaughter [D-NY]. [Rep.] Hilda Solis [D-CA]. [Rep.] Pete Stark, [D-]California. [Rep.] Maxine Waters, [D-]California. [Rep.] Diane Watson, [D-]California. [Rep.] Lynn Woolsey, [D-]California.

These are the Nazis of today. They are far more dangerous than the clownish neo-Nazis that march with swastikas, because these National Socialists mean business, and these National Socialists are congressmen, and these National Socialists are working a bill for the last two years that will endanger your freedom of speech, that in essence is the final solution for conservatives on talk radio who they declare are a threat to national security.

It's called the Media Ownership Reform Act, or MORA. They say that they wanted to guarantee fairness in broadcasting. What they really mean is they've lost in the world of ideas. What they mean is the people hate their guts. What they mean is their ideas are out of step with the average American. What they mean is to make certain through power that they assert their power. What they mean is they are the National Socialists of today.

If you are a liberal in any of these districts, you have an obligation to send an immediate email to them telling them how ashamed you are of them that they would try to take us off the radio because they cannot compete with us.

Now, I invited Congressman Maurice Hinchey on this show to defend his attempt to legislate me out of business. That cowardly worm, that cowardly worm from New York refused to come on this show. The cowardly worm instead wants to worm his way through the back corridors of Congress.

Now, I want to refer to something that was -- that I quoted in The Enemy Within [WND Books/Thomas Nelson, 2004] that was written thousands of years ago about the enemy within. And I will quote it momentarily. But I want you to understand the danger you are in. Oh, today you may say, “Who needs you? Who wants you, Savage? I don't like you, I don't like Limbaugh, I don't like any of the others. I'm glad to see them trying to legislate you out of business and calling you a threat to national security.” I warn you that tomorrow, it could be your favorite liberal who is declared a national -- a threat to national security, who could be thrown off the air. But worse, they could move to put us in prison simply for expressing our viewpoint.

And what's amazing, even more amazing to me, is that these worms, these National Socialists like Hinchey, like DeFazio, like Alcee Hastings -- these neo-Nazis of our time don't have the guts to take on Osama bin Laden, don't have the guts to take on the Muslim radicals in this country, don't have the guts to take on those who are actually killing people and killing our soldiers in Iraq. Instead, these worm-like congresswomen and congressmen instead spend all of their waking hours trying to take down their political opposition.

I'm going to make a commitment to you on this show: if this bill, H.R. 3302, ever gets passed, and I am declared a national enemy or a threat to national security, I will lead 10 million people on Washington. Not one million men, I'll lead 10 million people, I'll close Washington down. I'll bring every truck driver in the East Coast to Washington. I'll bring tanker trucks into Washington. I will shut that city down. You're not gonna shut me off, you're not gonna shut the people's voice off, we're gonna shut you off if you keep this up.

The man behind it all is George Soros. He's a billionaire centipede. He is funding these little men. He is definitely behind it as sure as I am sitting here. This is the man who is the enemy of the freedom of speech. I'm warning you.

Now I've said all I want to say. I'm going to ask you to simply go onto my website and download it and look at it yourself. And you'll see H.R. 3302, the list of National Socialists who are sponsoring the so-called Media Ownership Reform Act. The chief prostitute is this guy I've never heard of named Hinchey, who doesn't have the guts to stand up to me and argue with me and tell me why he declares me to be a threat to national security. He wouldn't come on the show.

From the May 3 broadcast of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:

SAVAGE: Now what do you want to talk about? Any topic is fair game. I don't know what you want to talk -- oh, McGiven, McGurvey, McGreevey, Mc -- McGreedy. Governor Jim McGreedy is going to become an Episcopalian priest. How could this be going on in my country? How is this possible?

How could a governor who embarrassed the governorship, his children, and everybody around him by coming out and saying he's a gay American -- how could this man have the audacity to say he's enrolled in an Episcopal seminary in New York City? He's a lapsed Catholic, and he's entering a three-year master of divinity program at the -- at this -- could you play “Where the Boys Are” for me? I need a break. Just play “Where the Boys Are,” just for him.

[song: “Where the Boys Are”]

You know, there's probably a good reason for McGreevey to enroll in the -- the seminary. And that is, it will reduce his cruising carbon footprint, when you think about it. Think of how much gas he must have spent cruising those highways and byways of New Jersey. And now when he's inside the seminary, just think about it: The cruising carbon footprint is reduced to near zero.

I think it's funny. If you don't, you know what? I'd like to give you a hand signal -- that's what I'd like to give you. I'd like to give you a hand signal if I could if you don't like it.

Go ahead; go report me to George Soros. He's the new Obersturmführer of the New World Order. Oberstürmfuhrer George Soros. Sieg Heil, Georgie.
