Savage in hot water!
If there is one thing that frightens me about the way things are going, it’s the way people are being “shut up” for imagined and unimagined slights and comments.
I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in the freedom to sound and look like an idiot, as long as you are not threatening anyone.
Go Savage. Say what you want. Let your audience decide.
Throw it all against the wall.
Hey Savage, saying that 99 out of 100 kids with autism are faking it goes way beyond hyperbole.
Where can I sign the “shun the stupid bastard” petition?
Savage, savage, savage!!!!
Maybe Savage should change his name to Idiot-Savant.
Really my friend’s son is autistic. No one would want to see it if it wasn’t true.
The little guy is so out of it. There’s no way to get him to be measurably better by hope and discipline.
And really, I wonder what is to happen to all these poor children. They can improve but they can not be normal. It’s terrible.
I’m sure parents of “autistic” children will go ballistic. But there are also a lot of parents who willingly accept their kids being doped up with Ritalin. And they support that too.
Well, if anyone needed any further proof that Michael Savage is a bombastic idiot, here it is....
At least Mark Levin is slowly catching up to him.
He’s 99.9% dead on. Autism is seriously overdiagnosed as are many mental disorders.
Guess he wanted to go one better on the "ADHD is made up" theme. Sorry but when "conservatism" gets involved in saying kids' medical conditions don't exist, count me out. Autism is not even a close call. My wife's school has a whole class of autistics they are severely disabled.
Autism is a real thing. Probably it is overdiagnosed. There is no cure but some get over it anyway.
You stay classy, Weiner.
America is a supercollider of unalienable rights with so far a limited number of head-on collisions. But every day the anti-matter folks -- those who object to the right to express opinions contrary to theirs -- add more and more particles increasing the inevitability of an explosion.
Those folks are even threatening to drop the "Fairness Doctrine" particle into their stream. That will definitely be a head-on collision that will be felt coast-to-coast, border-to-border -- perhaps even felt around the world.
Think he’ll talk about this tonight?
LOL
I can’t even imagine how unpleasant it must be to be inside the mind of Michael Savage. Just a few minutes listening to him makes me want to slit my wrists. If there’s a darker view of life out there, I haven’t come across it.
One more reason I don’t listen to Michael Weiner
ASA statement on Michael Savage Radio Comments
Friday, July 18, 2008
By: Carin Yavorcik
ASA will continue to work to raise awareness
This week, talk show host Michael Savage made inaccurate and derogatory comments about autism on his radio show, calling the condition “a fraud” and the result of a lack of parental discipline.
Mr. Savage’s unsubstantiated comments reflect the misconceptions of over 50 years ago that autism was caused by “refrigerator mothers” or unemotional parenting, which have been completely disproven by the scientific community.
Autism is a neuro-developmental medical condition that requires early identification and lifelong treatment.
For over 40 years, the Autism Society of America has worked tirelessly to educate people on the nature of autism spectrum disorders, the services and support families need, and the tremendous potential of people on the autism spectrum.
We are dismayed that these grossly inaccurate remarks would be aired in any platform, much less on a nationally syndicated show.
We will continue to work with families, people with autism and the broader public to raise awareness of autism spectrum disorders.
