Why is it that the “peace and love” crowd is always on a “search and destroy mission”?
Inother words “We don’t like what he says or thinks- so we don’t want YOU TO either”
How very liberal of them
“Savage expresses extreme viewpoints filled with anti-immigrant, gaybashing, intolerant, hate-filled sentiments. He has applauded the abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, opposed aid for tsunami victims, and called for the dropping of nuclear weapons on an an Arab country, any Arab country. He was fired from a brief stint at MSNBC after telling a gay caller to “get AIDS and die”. He runs a group called The Paul Revere Society, which among other things, calls for the imprisonment of anti-war activists for sedition.”
Hmmm. I have to try some of the beverage.
Another weird story with Savage ending up as the whipping boy.
You mean like this nice young man wearing a very elaborate "celebrity" t-shirt of OSAMA BIN LADEN???
And yes this is a genuine photo (and t-shirt). I think it first surfaced in a NY Times slideshow of the tsunami (albeit not discussed specifically in print).
Do you often cruise in the trash of BlatherWatch?
WRONG. He was fired from MS-NBC after being harassed by a heterosexual male who'd been calling to annoy him and responding by telling the caller in THREE DIFFERENT PHRASINGS to "drop dead". The other two methods of demise (choking and parasites from undercooked pork) were not politically protected.
He was specifically targeted. Just as other talk show hosts were targeted by Stalinist "hit squads" who sought to silence conservative talk radio.
CALLER: "Hey Michael Savage, a pleasure to speak with you today. I was flying out of LaGuardia, and there was two undercover security guards. Somebody was smoking in the bathroom"SAVAGE: "Someone was smoking in the bathroom."
CALLER: "Unbelievable."
SAVAGE: "What happened?"
CALLER: "Half-hour into the flight, I need to suggest that Don and Mike take your [silence] cause your teeth are [unintelligible]
SAVAGE: "Alright, so you're one of those sodomists? Are you a sodomite? "
CALLER: "Yes, I am."
SAVAGE: "Oh, you're one of the sodomites! You should only get AIDS and die, you pig! How's that? [off-screen crew can be heard shouting "Whoa!"] Why don't you see if you can sue me, you pig? You got nothing better than to put me down, you piece of garbage? You got nothing to do today? Go eat a sausage and choke on it. Get trichinosis. OK, do we have another nice caller here who's busy because he didn't have a nice night in the bathhouse and is angry at me today? Huh? Get me another one, put another sodomite on! No more calls? I don't care. Let's go to the next scene. I don't care about these bums, they mean nothing to me. They're all sausages."
Savage Fired After Anti-Gay Remarks to Yolo County Man (Sacramento Bee July 8, 2003)
Bob Foster, the rural Yolo County man who has taken to terrorizing TV and radio shows with prank phone calls, says his hobby "is all about getting a reaction."[ snip ]
"I'm not gay. But they're calling me derogatory gay names. It goes on and on. They're disregarding what Savage said and putting the blame on me for him losing his job. It's ridiculous.

MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines says Savage was fired immediately after the broadcast.
"In reaction to a hostile caller, Savage made an extremely inappropriate comment," Gaines says. "The decision to cancel the program ('Savage Nation') was not difficult
The RockStar “zero calorie” formula is by far the best “energy drink” out there.
Point of order . . . Rockstar isn’t soda or cola. It’s an energy drink, like Red Bull or Monster.
