MICHAEL SAVAGE(S) CATHOLICISM
Here is what radio talk-show host Michael Savage had to say on March 28 about the Catholic Church’s response to the immigration issue:
It is a pig story! It’s animal farm all over again. And also make no bones about it, it’s the greedy Catholic Church that was behind it because the people of America walked away from the molesters’ dens and they need to bring in people from the Third World who are still gullible enough to sit there and listen to the molesters…the Roman Catholic Church was behind this, the Roman Catholic Church started this a year ago. The Roman Catholic Church flooded the streets because they cannot get parishioners anymore amongst educated white people who have caught onto the racket and instead they need to import dummies to sit in the church pews. That’s the story and it is not difficult for you to understand—I’m telling you the truth. It’s all about greed. It’s greed at the top of the Catholic Church.
Make no mistake about why this is happening. This has nothing to do with compassion for Mexican workers. This has nothing to do with fairness for Mexican workers—it has to do with the greed…. That’s all there is to it. And that includes the Catholic Church pigs. And if you don’t like it, don’t listen to the show—I really don’t care anymore. I’m not going to be duped by this sanctimonious garbage that all churches are good and that the institution itself is good. Bah humbug. The institution is rotten from the top to the bottom.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue responded as follows:
“I was scheduled to be on with Mike Savage the day he savaged the Catholic Church and made bigoted comments about Latinos. But in the pre-interview—which occurred just a half hour before Savage went ballistic—I let a producer know that I did not share the host’s position; after he checked with Savage, I was told they would not have me on the show. That was fine, but what is not fine is Savage’s diatribe about the ‘greedy pigs’ in the Catholic Church and how ‘the institution is rotten from the top to the bottom.’ He owes all Catholics an apology.”
Sorry for the typos
Yep, Mikey is dead to me now..
Link?
He's nuts. Plain and simple.
Pretty foul stuff.
Rants like this are pathetic, he only lowers himself.
A bit harsh, but true. Well-educated people are NOT going to belong to a religion that has an endemic problem with pedophiles. The recent murder of a church of Christ minister by his wife (Winkler case) has brought out severe criticism of that group when such incidences are extremely rare. So, what does the catholic church expect when MANY priests have had charges filed against them for molestation? The catholic church is going to turn to whomever it can for a constituency. Logical.
He said this on the radio, or is there a link?
I could never listen to Savage. I'd try in short bursts, but would switch or turn off the radio. He is a sour, nasty, mean-spirited twerp of a misanthrope. He'd rather spew venom than debate. All he does is insult and not even cleverly. He has a smugness to him that matches Al Franklin's air of self-satisfaction. The man is an utter ass.
Source?
Thats why there stance are homosexuality is excellent, to weed out the few bad apples the media highlights
This guy's got some serious mental problems -- which I guess should be expected for someone who is so ashamed of his background that he uses a fake name on the air (Savage) instead of his real name (Weiner).
Savage strikes me as a John Birch kind of guy, not interested in government or winning elections, and making changes. He seems only interested in bitching and profiting from a closed circle of fellow complainers. Birchers always impressed me as beaten men, overwhelmed by political challenges, and electoral complexities, but knowing what they hate, then selling each other pamphlets and books.
Savage lost me when he turned against the war. And though I agree that the US Bishops are way out of line, it is NOT the case that the church is rotten.
The Catholic Church has been growing in the US and not just hispanics.
Solid conservatives including Laura Ingraham and Larry Kudlow are just two examples of the 10's of thousands of recent converts.
Good post..
"The Roman Catholic Church flooded the streets because they cannot get parishioners anymore amongst educated white people who have caught onto the racket and instead they need to import dummies to sit in the church pews."
In my neighborhood there is a big catholic parish, chocked full of educated white people.
So this big mouthed ranter is wrong.
