HAHAHAHAHAHA
"The people who condemn Savage are the ones in denial about our open borders and a federal budget that is out of control!"
WRONG! i hate the open borders and the spending by our gov.
him being a worthless loudmouth prick has nothing to do with either one of those issues.
I like Savage more and more, especially since the election.
Before the election, all the talk programs rallying against Kerry. However, after the election, is when Ithe differences become more apparent.
It quickly became obvious that Rush & Sean do not waver far from the Republican line. So immigration issues are generally sidestepped and complaints about the lack of immigration reform are not directed at the administration. Terri Schiavo was defended up until the point which the Bushes decided it would cross the political line. Illario Pantano's case was ignored. When a caller to Rush questioned the appropriateness of Laura Bush's "George wanked a horse" joke, Rush turned it around on her, claiming she was too sensitive. Rush would have certainly considered it an inappropriate joke if it was a Democrat. There is little said about the administration's tendency to spend-spend-spend.
Savage, on the other hand, tends to just call it like he sees it. Sure he has his faults, but he is a conservative talk show host, not a republican talk show host.
The Republicans with their majorities have done little to promote a conservative agenda. The have recoiled in fear of a minority Democratic opposition. They're a horrible majority party. I thought with Republican congress and presidency, we'd see some government overhauls, but they have done next to nothing. I suspect conservatives will stay home in 2006 and 2008 if they don't get their act together
I enjoyed him when I first heard him.... for about 7 nights. Then I began to notice how much he insulted his audience as much as he insulted the sellout liberals. He'd say how he was the only one talking about whatever-item-of-the-day when I'd already heard it on talk shows all day. His ego just grows and grows like Hillary's butt. Finally I just turned it off. I know all such hosts are blowhards, but he's just too "whiney".
Oh, and welcome!
I listen to him on my afternoon drive home. He is a little bit paranoid and a bit of an articulate Chicken Little. I find him a little too much like Bill O Reilly (Only I can solve the worlds problems).
But he is entertaining and does make a good point now and then.
Welcome to Free Republic. We can be a little rough on Newbies.
FR is a great place to laugh, to learn, to read, to post. I would take a lot of posts with a shovel full of salt...Lot's of people post with their tongues firmly placed in their buccal cavities.
Gaucho, eh? Well it's better than a banana slug.
FRegards....and welcome to FR.
WTF?
Have you met anyone in FreeRepublic with the exceptions of trolls who are in denial regarding these issues?
Can you point me to some anti-savage posts here on FreeRepublic which dispute his objection to the illegal immigration and overspending?
When I listen to Savage, I get the impression that if you do not scream like a maniac into the microphone regarding these issues like he does, than you are not taking the issue as serious as he is. What a crock of crap.
You just wrote the "key" word. "...optimistic...". That's what Savage lacks...OPTIMISM. I can't listen to somebody who lacks optimism.
And it hasn't responded to either one of them. This has troll written all over it.
I also used to listen to Rush, but his emphasis on cigars, sports and celebrities turned me off. Again, I agree with his political and moral positions, I just tired of his style. I stopped tuning him in about 5 years ago, just about the time I started visiting FR.
Why do you need to defend Mike Savage? or insist that others like him as much as you do? It doesn't matter. Here the fun is in the give and take between differing opinions, and the never ending battle between the combination of ignorance and opinionated personalities vs experience knowlege and reason.
You can decide for yourself who already here is which. Don't be swayed by others and give it time.
Good luck.
I'm no fan of Savage but that doesn't make him wrong. It just means I don't care for him.
As for newby posting. If you survive the first few days you'll be fine.
That's a bit over the top isn't it?
they all have that Attitude.
Savage is the King of attitude. I think he could grow up a little and cut out the petty name calling
what an idiot.
Seems to be just ads for the Michael savage Show. I'm jealous because while some of my vanities have survived, a decent percentage went unceremoniously to "blogs."
NO, I didn't think so.
Mike Savage is the anti-Limbaugh
He is pessimistic, depressing, and fully contradictory.
What kind of Conservative is FOR the minimum wage and against the Free Market? Is that Conservative because you and Mike Savage say it is Conservative?
No, I think Mike Savage is more like Howard Dean who tries to redefine Patriotism. Savage sounds more and more like a Marxist everyday.
Fear and loathing? Not even close.
I just don't like listening to angry rants. If I wanted that, I'd listen to Air America.
