Why Michael Savage should expect nothing from the leaders in talk radio.

Never? I heard Laura Ingraham doing it on Monday.
Yeah, pretty obvious. Why would they come to his defense when he’s crapped all over all of them. His big-ass ego should be able to take care of himself if he’s even half as good as he claims to be.
He bags on the others all the time.
He has the right to do so.
But why whine when they don’t have your back?
Savage has also made several references to Rush's addiction to pain killers and makes him sound like was a heroin addict.
I'm surprised Rush hasn't repaid the kindness.
Oh. Wait a minute. He has.
He criticized Laura Ingraham even after she defended him on the autism controversy.
Savage can be amusing.
He does have guts.
However, he is also NOT a team player.
If you don’t play for any team, it is hard to rally the team!
Savage tells it like it is
prior to the 2004 elections, Savage was all over Bush declaring him to a phony conservative, when at that time Bush was almost universally loved by conservatives
Savage was against the other radio hosts because he felt they were just being lapdogs for Bush instead of for conservatism
it turns out he was right. Rush admitted that he was carrying water prior to the 2006 elections
Because the quote is “...defend to the death your right to say it,” not “...defend to the death your right to be a complete jerk and behave pratishly toward everyone and their dog.”
Savage is great, but why defend a guy who takes such relish in kicking around others? I’m not just talking about radio competitors —I’m talking about people who WORK FOR HIM, and in some cases people in his very family (ok that one is a little old).
Savage got kicked around, and now he goes kicking around others, not just people who richly deserve it, but often really **innocent people**.
Savage is talented, funny, and really, REALLY unfair.
Basically Savage has no class, and mafia folks would probably strangle him with piano wire.
Savage also has a bad habit of some really gratuitous cases of kissing liberal ass, too. Schumer, Gavin Newsom, others, yeah....And I’m not just talking about being “independent minded”, nope..!!
sorry!!
And why should they? You don’t crap on people, refer to them in unflattering ways and expect them to support you when you’re in trouble.
Every time I listen to Savage, he spends half the time whining how tired he is and he cannot do his job anymore. And those fake interviews he has that are clearly prerecorded are awful.
You should have seen him at his public event up in Marin. Came out in a caddy in grand style, everything was GREAT! Then finally he started drinking, imagining he was some genius, right?
He turned into this nasty, snarling drunk and started insulting his audience —a completely different guy. Sure he’s Jackie Gleason, suuuure...! Got madder and madder, and it ended really awkwardly.
He was telling old folks in the audience that THEY WEAR DEPENDS. Lots of other nasty stuff, too.
He thinks that wine gives poets some extra margin of genius —yeah, sure, nice move Mike, you blubbering Bronx BOOZER.
We really OUGHT to send you up to expire on some farm in Marin, but then again that’s what Mike did to SNOWY, now isn’t it, MIKE?
Savage isn’t to my taste, but the idea that he (or Geert Wilders) is a danger to Britain makes a mockery of UK security concerns.
As a radio talk-show junkie, I listen to them across the dial, including the left-loonies when I can find them. I listen to Savage for a while until he makes me suicidal, but when he starts in on “The Leprechaun” ???( I can think of 2 with Irish lineage but never know who he is talking about) or “Hush Bimbo” I hit the dial.
As far as he is concerned, he is the ONLY American with an idea or a brain. His Ego has separated him from support. He hangs up on people who have held on to AGREE with him. Too bad, he has a lot to contribute, but he is a nasty piece of work. If I were Hush Bimbo, or The Leprechaun, why should I give a damn?
I agree with a fair number of Michael Savage’s views, but he definitely doesn’t fire on all cylinders. He thought Sarah Palin was the worst VP candidate possible. He spent a lot of time screaming that we never had any business being in Iraq. He made a total ass of himself over the autism controversy. I’ll take Savage over anybody in the leftist media, but he’s got his share of baggage and screwups.
Agreed. Pound on Limbaugh, pound on Hannity, pound on Laura Ingraham right after she talks him up, then wonder why the heavy-hitters are staying away. Pretty simple math, Mikey. Think before you go burning bridges, claiming that you’re the only “real” conservative out there, and all the other talk-show hosts are hacks for the Republican party. Laura pounds on the Repubs’ gutlessness day after day.
He is also very thin skinned, he was really bothered when he did not get invited to the White House when Bush brought in the big wigs of talkradio before the 2006 mid term elections
