It's because we don't ban people like conservative talk-show host Michael Savage from our country. http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/05/07/us.savage.banned/index.html OK, we couldn't, really, since he's a U.S. citizen, but even if we could, we wouldn't, even if he is a mean-spirited bigot, because we believe in freedom of speech and trust that the best ideas will triumph over inferior ideas. Those Brits probably banned Savage just because he isn't classy enough for them. Maybe the BBC doesn't give chavs their own radio shows.
Logic game: read the two statements below and answer the question that follows.
Statement 1. Home Secretary Jacquie Smith cited Savage for "seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence."
Statement 2. Savage said, "I have never, ever promoted violence. There has never been one violent incident attached to my show."
Question: What part of the British Home Secretary's characterization did Michael Savage not deny?
