Well, I think the incident itself is more interesting that the fake outrage from wingnuts. If he insulted Muslims CAIR would be outraged. If he insulted liberals you would be outraged. Everybody’s outraged, I don’t find that very interesting.

The only aspect of the outrage that I do find interesting is that the organizers are supporting Savage. Good for them, I like to see that. They knew who he was when they hired him and they aren’t going to throw him under the bus. However, those journalism students are probably not going to get the same support when they get out into the real world. Once the special interest groups start spamming their employers over some outrageous outrage there’s a good chance they’re going to be looking for a new job.
