Nazis, the KKK, Fred Phelps and radical Muslims

Right-wing U.S. shock jock Michael Savage is still banned in Britain. A new coalition government led by Prime Minister David Cameron has decided to continue preventing the conservative radio host and author from entering the country, over comments the prior government felt were violent and threatening. His name appears on a list of 16 individuals the government considers to be a threat to public safety. Others banned from entering the island nation include Nazi sympathizers, a grand wizard in the Ku Klux Klan, "God hates fags" preacher Fred Phelps and an array of radical Muslims.

The most conservative Republicans have made quite a name for themselves around the world. That's some company they keep. It's just a failure of Democratic messaging that they're not viewed the same way here in the US.
