Hmm....Is he ill or just fed up?

[whatisthetruth]

Savage haters rejoice! Savage lovers mourn!

Savage announces upcoming retirement

[Keith in Iowa]

My indifference knows no bounds.

[SpaceBar]

Misleading title. Savage said he would leave radio shortly after England removes him from their banned list and provides an apology. That’s a pretty big if.

[whatisthetruth]

Hmm....Is he ill or just fed up?

With Savage, it's hard to say what the real reason might be.

[stephenjohnbanker]

In the year 2525........

[Windflier]

Y A W N .....

[truthandlife]

It also could be a publicity ploy. He is has turned off a lot of conservatives.

[nufsed]

Why doesn’t he just stop taking callers and hire a masseuse and an amen chorus?

[listenhillary]

Which Michael Savage showed up to work today?

[dynachrome]

Maybe he got word he is on the ban list forever, LOL

[whatisthetruth]

It’s not misleading, Savage DECLARES his retirement, and that’s exactly what he does on the clip, and if you listen carefully to it, he says with certainty that will be within this year.

[6ppc]

As the song says...Here's a quarter, call someone who cares.

On the upside, it will free up some time on my local talk radio station. Maybe they'll pick up someone decent.

[ReneeLynn]

Oooh, we could get a delay of Levin if he goes bye bye. I’ve often thought that our local should ax Savage and pick up Levin.

[Cyber Liberty]

The market for stupid exclamation points just fell.

[smokingfrog]

Is he going to sue them, get a ton of money and then drop-out?

[steveo]

...if man is still alive

[gargoyle]

...My interest in your apathy is one reply, see ya...

[Jewbacca]

Is he ill or just fed up?

If this is not just a stunt, he probably figured he sucked all the money he could get from being a fake conservative.

He will now suck liberals dry, having been "enlightened" that every thing he "believed" as conservative is wrong.


I predict he will sell lots of books about the evils of conservatives.

[abigail2]

I will believe this when I see it LOL.

[MrPiper]

I think this guy was FOR the first bailout.....

see ya, don't let the door hit ya where the lord split ya!

[whatisthetruth]

Well got you and all others like you covered in my post #3, lol!

[jessduntno]

Michael who?

[whatisthetruth]

I think this guy was FOR the first bailout.....

That's news to me.

[GOPJ]

Misleading title. Savage said he would leave radio shortly after England removes him from their banned list and provides an apology.

Love it! In short, Savage will leave when hell freezes over. Good for him.

[rahbert]

I’m hoping the affiliates replace him with Michael Medved
or Dennis Miller.

[BibChr]

Good.

[ReneeLynn]

Don’t ‘hate’ him. Just don’t listen to him. Now, Levin I’d listen to. Savage? *Snore*

[raptor29]

Yeah, news to me too. Thus far, this thread has some of the most uniformed drivel I have seen on Free Republic in months.

[whatisthetruth]

See post #13, title is NOT misleading.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Now if we could just get rid of the “flaming moderates”

[whatisthetruth]

It also could be a publicity ploy. He is has turned off a lot of conservatives.

Savage has talked retirement for awhile now, but he's never 'committed' to leaving the air as he did the other day, don't see what publicity motive this could possibly be about, many people on both sides of the aisle want Savage gone.

[whatisthetruth]

I’m hoping the affiliates replace him with Michael Medved or Dennis Miller.

You are definitely a moderate, lol.

[whatisthetruth]

WTH? Why was this thread moved to Chat?

[Ted Grant]

I just don’t buy it. It’s one of his mood swings. He will come up with some contrivance that demands he remain on the air, for the good of the nation.

I’m a fan, but not a mark.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I knew SOMEBODY would catch that ;-)

[rockabyebaby]

Hmmmmmmmmm, maybe because it’s related to SAVAGE? Perhaps one of the SAVAGE haters can answer the question........

[dynachrome]

You should have put it in “breaking”

News? I dunno. I don’t call it a sure thing that the Doc is retiring. Lots of wiggle room there and you know the Doc’s moods!

[SJSAMPLE]

Maybe because there isn’t a “Batshit Crazy” forum?

Just a thought.

[apillar]

I sometimes listen to Savage on my drive home from work. He does have some interesting perspectives on issues. However his whole spiel that he is the only "true" conservative and all the other conservative commentators such as Rush and Hannity are just sell outs, gets old quickly. He also seems to go out of his way to remind his audience that he is so much more intelligent that all the other conservatives because he has a doctorate (in botany of all things).

I had to chuckle a little because recently Savage has been going on about how no one in the conservative movement is coming to his defense over the "baned in Britain" issue. Well Mr. Savage, here's a tip, when you talk about people like they are crap for years, they usually don't go out of their way to support you.

That being said, I am of the view that the more conservative voices out there, the better. So just because Savage was never really my cup of tea, his retirement will be a loss.

[whatisthetruth]

Yea, I should’ve put sarc behind that post, change the name to Rush and I betcha it stays in News/Activism, betcha? Palin is that you? LOL!

[rockabyebaby]

Om my goodness yes, if this was related to the golfer it would be breaking news with bells and whisltes to get your attention and the love fest would be endless!

[whatisthetruth]

I just don’t buy it. It’s one of his mood swings

Did you listen to the show or the clip? It would be nice if it were just a mood swing but he committed himself to leaving the air. How does he do a 180 turn on that without taking a hit to his credibility just yanking the chain of his audience, some of us won't take kindly to that.

[whatisthetruth]

I don’t call it a sure thing that the Doc is retiring. Lots of wiggle room there and you know the Doc’s moods!

Did you listen to the clip? Savage has committed to leaving the air within the year, I just don't see the wiggle room, wish I did. When a person commits to something, I take them at their word.

So you're saying Savage is a liar? Has Savage broken other commitments in the past that I forgot about?

[whatisthetruth]

Shouldn’t encourage you. LMAO!

[dynachrome]

“If the ban is lifted.”

It probably will be and then we will see.

(ps. I would expect his ban on FR if he supports romney in 2012)

[rockabyebaby]

Just stating the facts my FRiend, just stating the facts!

[whatisthetruth]

So just because Savage was never really my cup of tea, his retirement will be a loss.

Indeed! Wish more 'freepers' felt that way.
