I used to think he was magnificent. He has been going off into a "screwball" mode with increasing regularity. I think he is really going to lose it sometime and the plug will be pulled on him.
I agree... he's getting way too 'out there'
attiladhun2, can you answer some points I have for Mr. Smith?
Who is Reynaldo Mahatma Smith and why does he say such things? If he prefers not to listen to Michael Savage does he not know that radios have tuners?
I became a devoted drivetime listener.
You have a three hour drive time? How else can you know specifics such as "Savage has a way of pontificating on subjects of which he knows next to nothing." How often does that happen? Examples?
Only days ago I heard him wax eloquently on the virtues of the minimum wage.
What I heard him say was that just maybe such a law may have merit.
Savage says being Republican means you were likely born into a family of filthy-rich robber-baron fat cats!
What is your memory of the Goldwater years? My memory is of blue-collar and conservative Goldwater supporters v. Rockefeller Republicans. I clearly remember the photo of Nelson giving the finger to those supporters of Senator Goldwater at the 1964 convention in San Francisco.
The point is there are differences sometimes expressed along these lines. If all businessmen are such nice guys wishing only that their success helped their fellow Americans why do so many prefer the "cheap labor" of ILLEGAL aliens while obligating taxpayers to fund health and social programs to care for their workers' families?
You never hear his callers mention his gaffs because his screeners won't let those callers through.
How did you find out about that?
It is easy to bash Savage. He brings it on himself. I've listened to him three hours a day for almost ten years. If you do not like his NewYork-street style then so be it. That's your preference.
There are a couple of things I don't like but on the whole his peccadilloes are outweighed by the fact that he speaks out clearly and without doubt about his love for America just like the blue collar conservatives I remember from the Goldwater days -- before "the plug was pulled on them".
Of course, there were some in those days too who felt the talk was too strident and Goldwater and his "ilk" had to be silenced. They were. Mostly by the use of the FCC "Fairness Doctrine" until one Goldwater conservative, Ronald Reagan, as President Ronald Reagan did away with the Fairness Doctrine in 1987.
I take the overwhelming good that Savage does because I appreciate and respect the risks he takes by speaking out for borders, language, and culture.
I've got to know -- how do you know how Savage benefits personally from monies collectd for the Paul Revere Society. Are you lying? Sources, please?
