Michael Savage invited to debate at Cambridge Union Society

[~~whimsy~~]

After his ban in England and put on a list with Islamic terrorists and leaders of hate groups is now invited to Britain's Cambridge Union Society.

"The invitation letter, signed by society presidents Julien Domercq and Jonathan Laurence, says the Cambridge Union has been following Savage's case 'with great interest' and believes he is 'more qualified than anyone to talk about the subject of political correctness in American and Britain.'"

I don't always agree with what Savage has to say, despite I do enjoy listening to him when I find the time, but the thing is we do have freedom of speech and what he has to say is nowhere near as extreme or abhorrent as what Islamic terrorists and hate groups have to say about regarding what they are against.
