Savage vs CAIR update

On Wednesday the unindicted terror coconspirator filed a motion to “throw out” the baseless lawsuit citing in part; “Viewed in its entirety, Savage’s Complaint is simply a camouflaged defamation or disparagement claim dressed as bogus copyright and RICO claims."

If you’ve been following the case from the beginning then you know CAIR struck first by issuing “Action Alert 522”. By taking the comments out of context, CAIR went about the business of intimidating Savage Nation show sponsors. Savage contends, CAIR is using a sound-bite of his copyrighted material for fund raising, membership drives and contributions. (the play button is right next to the subscribe-donate link) What CAIR was unprepared for was a lawsuit. Unlike the legions of past CAIR victims, responded to this degradation crusade by taking them to court.

CAIR legal counsel Nadhira Al-Khalili had this to say; “Michael Savage’s frivolous and baseless lawsuit is a direct attack on First Amendment freedoms and on any citizen’s right to comment on public issues,” and “His suit is an abuse of the judicial system and a transparent attempt to punish those who challenge his hate-filled rhetoric.”

An abuse of the judical system only applies to those filing cases against CAIR. The few times when CAIR has been challenged, they end up settling out of court or find themselves on the losing end.

Listen to those unindicted terror co-conspirators whine like the little babies they are.

...(their)frivolous and baseless lawsuit is a direct attack on First Amendment freedoms and on any citizen’s right to comment on public issues,

Right back at ya, Nadhira. After all, isn't that what CAIR is trying to do????
