But in a delicious twist of political irony that even Dr. Michael Savage and his eight million devotees are celebrating, diversity actually won the day against a band of anti-free speech liberals masquerading as elected officials in San Francisco.

Our story begins with a July 5 broadcast of the Savage Nation in which Dr. Savage commented about a gang of ill informed students who announced a fast to publicize support for changes to U.S. immigration policy so as to coddle illegal aliens. Such changes would essentially wipe out our borders and eliminate the rule of law in order to accommodate invading criminals.
"I would say, let them fast until they starve to death," quipped Savage, "then that solves the problem."
Sadly, Savage's right to free speech became a target for San Francisco Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, a misguided liberal who said, "This attempt to vilify Latino-Americans will not be tolerated."
In the interest of accuracy, it should be pointed out that Savage did not even mention race or ethnicity in his tirade, but focused instead on those 12-30 million illegal aliens who have invaded America and actually believe that American taxpayers owe them food, housing, education, and health care!
But back to Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval. After digesting Savage's comments, the supervisor decided that free speech is a luxury that San Francisco can no longer afford, at least not for those who speak with a conservative voice.
Therefore, in the interest of zero tolerance for tolerance, Sandoval introduced a resolution condemning the constitutionally protected speech of America's favorite talk show host.
Just to be fair, Sandoval translated his tortured illogic into Spanish and German. An English translation has been promised by the end of the week, although Sandoval warns that a "foreign language convenience fee" may be assessed to cover costs.
Just when it appeared as though Dr. Savage was doomed to be an innocent victim of the unholy alliance between illegal immigration and San Francisco liberal fascists, an angel of light emerged to save the day.
Ed Jew, a San Francisco Board of Supervisors member whose grandfather emigrated from China seven decades ago, voted against the evil resolution.
"For the record, I do not agree with comments allegedly made by Mr. Savage, but the First Amendment gives him the right to make those comments," Jew said.
Supervisor Jew demonstrated his understanding of what it means to be an American, even if others members of the Board of Supervisors are completely clue less.
Jew's NO! turned out to be the only vote for democratic principle among supervisors who voted 9-1 to trash the First Amendment in favor of harboring illegal aliens.
Nonetheless, Mr. Jew's heroic and patriotic vote put an end to Sandoval's reckless experiment in the city that used to know how. And that is a good thing!
