Michael Savage evidently was once named Michael Weiner (pronounced either "Weener" or "Whiner"). Take Back The Media published this and other material about Michael Weiner on their web site. Unable to cope with criticism by them and others, Weiner is now suing Take Back the Media, along with SavageStupidity.com and MichaelSavageSucks.com. TBTM says this in an editoial on their web site:

We should get something straight here - this isn't about any of the charges in the lawsuit. It's not about loss of revenue, it's not about trademark infringement or defamation or damage to Weiner's reputation. It's not about any of these things. It's about a large corporation attempting to take away the free speech of regular Americans with a point of view. It's about people with deep pockets using money and influence to run roughshod over people who don't agree with them. It's about a radio blowhard with pitifully thin skin, whose radio show is failing miserably, and whose TV show can't even finance itself through national advertising due to its toxic, stunted, hateful, pathetic content, taking out his failure on web sites who speak truth to power... There is a reason our sites have been targeted by this lawsuit. All three sites are tiny operations. TBTM, with a staff of four people, is the biggest of the three. SavageStupidity is run by a huband and wife, and MichaelSavageSucks is a one-man shop... This lawsuit may seem like relatively small potatoes in the scheme of things, but it's not. This should send chills through anyone who values the right to speak their mind. Because no matter what the stated purposes are here, that is what they're truly after - they're seeking legal license to shut you up if they don't like what you're saying. [link]
