Michael "The" Savage

[Steeplerot]

Who?
Edit: I do not have a radio or tv thing but if I did have a radio I would listen to my local college station or something, who knows they may not have any talent. *shrugs* Mainstream democrats are a bore -republican lites to me I mostly read non-fiction type books anyhow.
The republicans in here are probaly bigger MM fans then me seeing as I have only seen one of his movies and never read any of his books.

He is an expert in the spread of diseases and various pathogens. I'm not sure of the technical name for that type of doctor, but he has multiple degrees and has written many well-known medical books. When it comes to medicine, he does know his stuff.

Condor, Savage is one of those guys who appeal the reactionary base of human emotion there is no talent in that any more then telling a fart joke.
Now if someone can actually make americans THINK instead of making them knee-jerk react, that is talent in my book.

Gotta say - I enjoy listening to Savage's show the most - very entertaining. He does come down on the GOP a good bit too...

I don't see what the big deal with racism and xenophobia is. It certainly helped make America strong in our early years.

I've listened to Savage long enough to know that he's fiery and maybe crazy, but he's not a racist or some neo-Nazi. He's certainly made blunders in what he's said, but the basis of his ideology is mostly well-grounded. Honestly, the anti-Bush hatred on P&N is much worse than what Savage puts forth. And interestingly, the accusations of venom are coming from the most venomous, hot-headed people on this board; I don't think you can hold Savage up to some heavenly standard without first examining your own behavior.

here's what got him fired:

"Oh, you're one of the sodomites," Savage said. "You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How's that? Why don't you see if you can sue me, you pig. You got nothing better than to put me down, you piece of garbage. You have got nothing to do today, go eat a sausage and choke on it."

some truly Christian sentiments expressed there, right?

Where did the Christian come from? I'm pretty sure he isn't Christian, and never will be. Also, it's pretty convenient for you to not post the comments that the caller made to Savage. If you knew anything about Savage, you would know that he always speaks his mind, especially when he is attacked personally, as that caller had done. As Savage has said many times, those comments were addressed specifically at that one caller and not anyone else. Nice try, though.

Michael Savage is a sensationalist; but that might not even be accurate. He's himself. Put a mic in front of any number of you wankers and see what kind of tired diatribe you put forth.

I listen to conservative talk radio; but I find Savage to be entertaining at best, certainly not worth listening to for equitable content or to get a pulse on other than the fringe of society. But, most of us conservative radio patrons already know this.

What's funny is all you candy asses out their pointing fingers at Savage when your own freak show of a circus makes Savage look like a girlscout (no disrespect to girlscouts intended) .

i don't like it when howard stern says bomb all of iraq, and i don't like it when savage says he wants to rip the guts out of the iraqis

i obviously AM open minded if i'm willing to read his book, and listen to part of his radio show. i have come to the conclusion that he has nothing meaningful to say aside from his colorful words

he's a "new age" medicine man, which means Michael Alan Weiner deals with stuff like putting sanctaberry on your athlete's foot

I'm not a fan of Michael Savage but I find it funny that you guys are calling this guy all these names and he is doing the same thing as Michael Moore. Get over yourselves.

WTF, it's ok to crticize Moore but not Savage? IMO both are corrosive individuals and need to be exposed for what they are.

Yeah MM is praeaching blind hatred. :roll:
Big diffrence between a bigot and a documentry maker.
Even if you can't deal with the truths of his movie he isn't preaching hate -just passing along information. whether you grasp the message or not. I dare you to find me a part of F-911 that preaches hate of any kind to anyone. I guess you listen to that crap for long enough and see it on TV you figure assh0les like savage coulter etc. are reality. Ever heard MM say bush should die? Be run out of the country? No, he says he is wrong and needs justice. Big diffrence in MM from neo-naziesque mass media people are fed here in america from the right wing. I am glad I haven't had a TV to see this crap the right wing thinks they can get away with saying about fellow americans and fellow human beings.

There is NOTHING american about the neoconservatives no matter how much they are on TV or the radio. They would feel more comfortable in a totalitarian state where you get yours and screw everyone else.
It's great to see facism did not die with hitler and mussolini. You republicans should be ashamed you let your party get jacked by hatemongers looking for a buck.

Savage spreads his hatred using the radio. Moore spreads his hatred (and proven lies) by using a "documentary" that has been proven to be mostly lies.

Talk about a lemming, you take the cake...
:roll:

 

[KidViciou$]

game, i didn't know farenheit was proven to be mostly lies, can you plz show me cuz i thought it was pretty much based based on reported stories. (i'm asking seriously, not mockingly)

I appreciate your serious reply...

I have always mentioned "Three sides to every story" no matter if it is Bush, Kerry or Moore.... Moore produced a documentary that was completely biased and misleading. Yes, there were SOME basic facts that were correct. Bush did sit with the kids for 7 minutes etc.. If you broke down each event and looked at 2 of the three sides, you got a much different picture than he portrayed. Farenhype 911 and another movie gave the extreme right slant of all of Moore's views. By watching both F911's you get a clearer picture. Moore left out enough to twist his story and also made changes to stories to reflect they were something they were not. In my opinion, presenting something that is not 100% truth is a lie. Yes, I really do live by that personally and I have lied.

I am not saying that W is blameless or perfect but I stand by the fact that Moore was just making a movie and twisted the hell out of it to foster hatred for W and his administration. It was a good movie with an entertainment value just like Hype but if you let either piss you off or enrage you then you need to step back and take a deep breath and look for the truth.

 

[KidViciou$]

i want to see farenhype 9/11. can you point to specific lies in farenheit 9/11? or at least provide a web page

Savage has said explicitly that he is not a Christian. His personal religious views actually seem somewhat liberal; he has criticized biblically conservative Christians for their claim that Christ is the only way to salvation of the soul. This is one area where he hasn't been able to debate callers cogently; he generally will brush the issue aside or will invoke his policy of no religious discussion. (Though maybe he's changed in the past few months; I haven't been listening to him too frequently lately.)

 

[KidViciou$]

isn't that because he's jewish???

 

[raildogg]
