Universal Orlando Resorts Drops 'Savage Nation' Ads
Posted 12/3/2007 1:54:00 PM

 

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 12/3/07) -  The Hate Hurts America Community and Interfaith Coalition (HHA) today announced that Universal Orlando Resorts has joined a growing list of advertisers that have stopped advertising or refuse to place their ads on Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" radio program.

HHA, a group of religious and civic organizations seeking to challenge hate speech on talk radio, was formed as a result of Savage's recent rhetorical attacks on Muslims, Islam and the Quran, Islam's revealed text. Coalition members are calling on advertisers nationwide to stop airing commercials on Savage's nationally-syndicated program.

Michael Savage has a long history of rhetorical attacks on a variety of minority groups.
