Michael Savage is an American Conservatism commentator on radio Michael Savage was given the Freedom of Speech Award by Talkers Magazine in 2007. He writes that he created the term "Compassionate Conservative" in 1994, and, for him, these words describe a "firewall of balance" that limits how far to the right his opinions go.[1]

Hate speech and Britain

He was banned from entry into Britain, in 2008, by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, on grounds that he was among a group of "preachers of hate".

I think it’s important that people understand the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here, the fact that it’s a privilege to come and the sort of things that mean you won’t be welcome in this country[2]

Education

He holds a B.S. degree in biology and education from Queens College, in New York City, and taught high school science before returning to graduate school, receiving a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutritional Ethno-Medicine in 1978. Savage also holds two Master’s degrees in Medical Botany and Medical Anthropology from the University of Hawaii.
