RadiKal Right Terrorist calls for deportation of journalist

A few days ago, after fellow Minnesota Monitor reporter Abdi Aynte broke the story of the lawsuit being filed by the so-called "flying imams" who were kicked off a USAirways flight in Minneapolis last November, we got a curious response to our press email on the topic.
Michael Savage, the third-rated talkshow host, sent a personal email to our managing editor. It said, simply:
"You and they should be deported for taking advantage of this great nation."
Huh? Deported for being a journalist? A confirmation from Savage's producer and series of blog posts and releases followed, I discussed it on Air America Minnesota last night, and Abdi wrote a nice rebuttal to Savage, in which he pointed out that he's a legal resident, a refugee from Somalia, who came to the U.S. in 2000, learned English and found a job:
Since coming to this country barely six years ago, I have done all the right things. I secured a job to support myself and my family back home, all the while attending school to study what I've always dreamed of doing: telling people's stories.
Savage -- as you recall -- is the radio host who advocated "kill[ing] 100 million Muslims," said Muslims are "nonhumans," and suggested an "outright ban on Muslim immigration."
Proof enough this probably isn't the last we'll hear from Michael Savage.

I suspect his 'ratings' were down so he made an ass of himself (again) to create controversy so people would listen to the rantings of this lunatic.
