Breaking news: Michael Savage is a KOOK.
As regards the so-called "war on terror," Savage points out that you can't win a war when you're afraid even to name the enemy.
"He's never mentioned Islamofascism," said Savage.
I have to agree.
Or is a democrat.
"There is no college in Rush. He's a high school dropout. It's like listening to an uneducated, unthinking man on the radio."
Michael.... your envy is showing.
It goes far beyond Savage listeners.
Oooooo! THAT'S gonna leave a MARK!
Savage ping!
Yes he has.
This has been posted a bunch of times since July. Yada yada...
Well said, Michael Savage.
Most of those who criticize Michael Savage do so because they are just so darn embarrassed on what Bush has done, and the very accurate comments Savage makes about those Bush actions. The more embarrassed the "lapdogs" become, the more they criticize Savage.
Michael Savage tells it the way it is.
Michael Savage is tolerable for about 15 minutes. He needs to take his Meds on a more regular basis instead of the herbal crap he takes.
While I agree with much of what he says, the guy is, plain and simple, an a$$hole. Major league.
Michael Savage resonates.
He resonates by sticking his head up his butt and listening to the echo of his own voice.
Weiner Nation is off the coast of Antarctica.
We are scared to be proud for fear that we might be wrong, might be hateful, might be violent or racist - despite that we are none of those things.
Borders, language, and culture - OH MY!

He has some points. Bush is not overly conservative, and yet I think Savage is also full of it on some of this. I have always enjoyed listening to Rush, and don't disagree with him very often, but I know I'm not an unthinking Bushbot so to speak. He is our president, and going along with everything he does is not good, but neither is criticizing the war etc. because that plays right into the hands of liberals which is definitely the worse of the two (Bush and liberals) Going to war in Iraq (if allowed to be finished by the troops and not politicians) was a great thing for the future. What did Savage expect us to do in Iraq anyway? Force them all to adopt Christianity? Of course their government will include Islamic law, they'll never agree to a government that doesn't. Savage ought to know that. I think sometimes Savage says these things just to be different, but he really sounds liberal criticizing the war like that. Any thoughts from anyone?
As the old saying goes, Savage is one brick short of a full load.
As mentioned, Bush actually did use the word last month, but I'd have to give that one to Bush. Does Hitchens's trendy journalistic formulation really add much to the discussion?
As far as him versus Rush and Hannity, well, they don't like to fight battles of wit with unarmed men.
I have been listening to all these guys since they began. I heard Rush the first time in Aug '88. I listen to Hannity every day on WBAP in Dallas, and Levin after him on the same station. I alternate between Savage and Hannity.
I don't think Rush, Hannity or Levin are Bush butt boys. I don't think Savage is some kind of raving right wing nut either. I hear Rush et al often harshly criticizing Bush...tonight for example, Levin is taking the Bushes to task over the border.
It is all kind of disguisting...I think that we would all be better off if Savage would stop attacking Rush, Hannity and Levin. I have'nt heard Rush or Hannity mention Savage. Levin goes off on Savage occasionally.
We are presently in a foreign war with an enemy who has promised to kill us all. We are also in a domestic war with leftist lunitics that have promised to steal our life, liberty and property....fighting amongst ourselves cannot be a good thing, and is counterproductive.
An entire article on nothing much. And they wonder why people don't care what the MSM has to say about anything these days.
Drink the Koolaid, bushbots.
2000 - a one state victoy against an algore. 2004 - a one state victory against a johnkerry. Does that indicate that our nation is pining away for - veritably lusting after - 1964 AuH2O conservatism?
""There is no college in Rush. There is no college in Hannity," said Savage. "He's a high school dropout. It's like listening to an uneducated, unthinking man on the radio.""
They give you a secret key in college to unlock your brain.
Savage and Jimmy Carter, both gas price controlling kooks.
A number of outright lies in Mulshines's article about "bushbots". Both Limbaugh and Hannity have been outspoken in their criticism of Bush on a number of matters including spending and illegal immigration. And if having a college degree automatically makes one a genius in talk radio/political logic, then a host of uberliberals like Krugman and Dowd should be in charge of setting policy. From this article I can conclude that Mulshine is hardly a conservative and certainly not a genius. If shouting at your listeners and having an ego the size of Uranus makes Savage the master of talk radio, then I'm sorry, count me out.
Children and immature adults both have great difficulty in differentiating between a person and an argument. The result is name calling and insults replace actual debate.
I like Savage at times but he trots out that college line then says the oil companies need price controls. I guess in all of his studies he never stumbled over economics. I am far from being a Bushbot but even if I had never cracked a economics textbook I am old enough to remember what Jimmy Carter did with his interference into the supply and demand of oil. I waited in several democrat created gaslines of the 70's. Thank god Bush kept his fingers out of the oil companies!
On the Islamics he is dead on. Yes Bush has said that word but what needs done is to put the fear of god into those people. I was over there in the 80's and I know that this kindler gentler war is not going to cut it.
Because no intelligent person listens to talk radio?
Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian, Commie.. truly.. radio is trash.
I love listening to Savage sometimes.
Savage is mentally ill: obsessive-compulsive, with bi-polar disorder.
Yes, and that towering intellect that calls his rivals "Hush Bimbo" is to be respected. Please. And to degrade his more succesful rivals because they have no college degree? Really, how petty must you be?
I don't disagree with everything he says, but when I listen to him, it's like listening to a mental patient.
A man who thinks that minimum wage needs to be a "living wage", thinks price controls are a good thing, and has no control over his emotions is no intellectual my friends.
I think Bernard Goldberg was on Rush's program once, and I heard Rush say that "this Savage fellow sounds like he's unstable". He prefaced it by saying that he hadn't listened to his show. I think Goldberg was saying that Savage made it into his book of "100 people who are Screwing up America".
Rush is entertaining, I disagree with him occasionally but rarely. He is a much more adept master of the English language and phrasing than Savage can ever hope to be. But above all, he's always in *control*, and is a master at sparring with hostile callers even if is against every fiber of their being. Hannity bores me, and I don't find his show entertaining one bit. For a small dose of vitriol I'll occasionally listen to Levin. I dislike a lot about the Bush administration, but Savage's vitriol is so over the top that he probably should start a forum like DU!
I've heard him a few times. The guy is a cynical idiot who cares more about ratings derived from extreme views than his responsibility as a "personality" with a microphone whom others may actually believe just because he has a microphone.
Likes: His wicked sense of humor, his views on borders/language/culture, and his independence of thought.
Dislikes: His constant patting himself on the back about his superior "formal" education, his conspicuous envy/hatred of any political talk show host who has higher ratings (mostly Rush and Hannity), his occasional irrationality (he advocated nuking the Chicoms off the map after they forced down our recon plane. ....and he wasn't joking), his obsession with cuisine (sometimes he'll ignore politics and talk about nothing but food for hours at a time), and his rudeness to guests.
But he's absolutely right about the Elephants being virtually indistinguishable from the Donkeys in not a small number of ways these days. ....especially in their love affair with big gov't.
Yet another lie from Savage, unless it's UC Berkeley that's lying.
They say his degree is in "Ethno Botany" through the Department of Anthropology.
That must have seemed real cool back there in the 60's, but it's a little to hippy-dippy now. Sort of like nameing your kid Goldencloud.
Bump!
Savage is just not politicly correct i think sometimes people forget what its like to speak your real Mind instead of being afraid of hurting someones precious feelings.
If someone is offended by what savage says its their problem not Savages.
I wish GWB wasn't so PC it's refreshing to hear someone who is not if you want to see right wing whacko listen to Alex Jones he's a real Whackjob !
Savage does have a "Lonesome Rhodes" quality about him.
The Cannibals shall feast tonight!!!
Savage speaks the truth.
It's too bad they didn't recognize this in 2004 when they had a chance to stop him. Even more people voted for Dubya in 2004 then in 2000.
Clearly the world is about to switch directions and start revolving your way tomorrow. I can feel it.[/sarcasm]
On the day after the 2004 elections the Daily Mirror asked on it's cover how 59 million Americans could be so dumb. It is a sentiment that Berkeley Ph.D. elitist Savage shares with rats, the MSM, and other pointy head elitists. Savage was thankfully taken off the air in Madison WI 3 months ago, and replaced with a true patriot Sean Hannity.
"Borders, Language, Culture" is the heart of "the Savage Nation," Rush rarely brings up borders. Hannity will cover the border when the issue hits the headlines. Savage's savaging of other talk-radio hosts annoyed me until I realized that this is just part of his shtick.
He's talked himself into a corner trying desperately to gain a wider audience. If he truly believes what he spews, he's certifiable. If he doesn't, he's a hypocritical hack. His desperate gambit has failed. His audience didn't increase much, if at all, and he's alienated himself from all but the "eat nails and crap barbed wire" crowd. 74 posted on 11/28/2005 8:49:26 PM EST by Jokelahoma (Animal testing is a bad idea.

Actually, Savage had risen from #5 in talk-radio in 2003, to #3 today; according to Talkers Magazine.
Interesting background article on Savage here, including the origin of his "Savage" name.
So this is why 2000 Americans died and still die today??? To institute a satanic form of government that is 100 percent against freedom of any kind??
We need to get the **ll out of that God forsaken country yesterday if the above quote is true!
