Michael Savage Broadsides Rush (Calls "Hush Bimbo" a Snagged Elephant, and WORSE)

6/10/05 | Self

[NYC Republican]

It seems to be a daily occurence... Savage, the ultimate looney nutcase, blasts President Bush from every angle, then broadsides Rush and Sean. He constantly calls Rush "Hush Bimbo", says he's nothing but a GOP mouthpiece, says that he's disgusted by Rush's constant self-promotions...

NO ONE, not even Sean, does more shameless self-promotioning than this moron.

He also said that Rush thinks his listeners are idiots, and talks to them in that way.

What a loser, what an IDIOT.

[Mr Cobol]

I agree on all your points except Beck. He talks way too much about TV and movies and family and very little politics. I admit I quit listening to him long ago so maybe he's changed.

Spot on about Sean just one step up from BO.

I like Savage sometimes, but he really pi$$ed me off last night with his "Reefer Madness" rant about pot. He started off fairly well, with a broadside against some weenie from Amnesty International. But then he digressed into an anti-marijuana tirade that sounded like it was written by the Drug Czar's office.

Even Rush is starting to come on board with the fact that the USSC decision about medical marijuana is anti-conservative. Savage shows his true faux-conservative colors by cheerleading for the Drug War simply because he hates 'patchouli stinking deadheads', without any regard for its real authoritarian, leftist underpinning.

Levin needs to take his show to XM. Sounds like he just needs a larger audience. I know for a fact there are plenty of XM radio listeners who would LOVE to have access to Levin's show.

[bassmaner]

and childish "everybody else is stealing my stuff" baloney.

Interesting -- that's one of Howard Stern's routines. Savage despises Stern, yet he emulates him. Imagine that ...

"I don't listen to Savage for real conservatism."

I don't think Michael Savage is a real conservative. I don't think Michael Savage knows what he is. He obviously likes living out there in SF la-la land, and some of it is bound to rub off. Part of his problem, I think, is that Michael Savage doesn't like anyone or anything, except maybe Michael Savage.

He doesn't like Rush or Sean because he is envious of their audience.

He doesn't like Bush because he doesn't like his stand on immigration, spending - most of us do not like that about Bush, but most of us aren't on the warpath toward him; there are too many pluses in having a pseudo-conservative, Republican president for that...like court appointments!

[OldFriend]

By the end of the day, the last thing I want to hear is some guy carrying on like a madman.

Savage is tiresome and a boor.

[GSWarrior]

He was the first to passionately take up the borders, language and culture issue. I don't think he deserves to be savaged here. Suggestions that he is a moll for the left are just silly.

But he is a terrible writer. He used to pen these half-baked columns at Newsmax.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

I've tried and tried to listen to Savage, but his jealousy about Rush and Sean is just too transparent.

There is no "jealousy". Savage is correct--both Hannity and Rush spend 90% of their time bashing the RATS while giving a pass to the leftist Republicans who have given us open borders and $1 trillion in social welfare spending while they cut back on military procurement due to "cost". Bush just yesterday said he will forgive Africa's debt. For gawd sakes, he gave them $15 billion, now he forgives their debt, and we are cuttting back on the naval ship program, the F-35, the F-22, et al. because quote "we can't afford it".

Oh yea, one more thing--what about this SS crap of extending the retirment age the Republican'ts want to do. I can assure you all that Rush and Hannity will both soft peddle this today on their shows, if they bring it up at all. Never will these two GOP buttkissers show sufficient outrage against these RAT-like Republican'ts. Like it or not, Michael Savage is correct in his criticism of Hannity and Rush--both are too soft on the Republicans and are one-track RAT bashers.

How would you feel if you are at the bottom of the barrel in the right wing talk show wars? He is a bitter angry man. He is a fake. Why doesn't he use his real last name? Weiner. Because he is a fraud. He sounds like Chuck Schummer.

Bob Grant doesn't use his real last name either. Nor did Cary Grant. Who cares? The man rakes in untold millions (his book #3 is still #20 on NYT after 3 months on the market, where is Levin's?), he is hardly anywhere near the bottom of the barrel, nor is he bitter. He is angry. There is a big difference.

And clearly YOU are the fraud to compare him with Schumer because if you listened, you would know that he has relentlessly attacked Schumck Schumer over the past 3 days, rightfully attacking Schumer's racist assault on Janice Rogers-Brown.

I am always amazed when people come out in force to attack Savage. He is so entertaining and informative. He attacks Bush when he deserves it. He is not gratuitous. I love how he bashes O'Reilly as "The Leprechan". Why such vitriol against this guy?

[ImpotentRage]

I agree with you. I never miss Savage, but tend to cringe at times when he starts with his berating of other hosts. However, I think he is more right than wrong on subjects and when he gets started with his non-political stories I don't think there is anyone better.

[OldFriend]

Dittos on your post #76.

I listen to the monologue and turn the radio off.

[montag813]

Fortunately, Laura Ingraham comes on at the same time on the other local talk radio station, and she's much more palatable.

YAWN! Her "soundbite of the day" is the dumbest thing on radio.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

Agree.

[LtKerst]

They all have huge EGOS.

Rush refers to listeners as "Joe Sixpack" as if we all sit around with a sixpack of beer after work.

nd as for Savage I have called twice into his show and wanted to agree with his point and was talked to so rudely I never listen to him, His arrogance is the worst.

Sean Hannity is polite and decient to most everyone. I love his programs.

and Ann Coulter is a FOX! I want to have her Children.Ill be her "Kept" Boyfriend. Or lovetoy, or Slave ...whatever.

[OldFriend]

Sean is trying to be the Jerry Springer of radio.

[montag813]

He makes some good points, but he goes off on tangents too much.

That's the fun! He is real. Rush is so glossed over, although I still listen to him and laways will.

[montag813]

This is demonstrated by Rush speaking out against the Illegal Immigration policies of the Bush Administration. [/s]

Yeah, how many years too late? Savage was ranting about that from day one.

[democrats_nightmare]

I think if Savage could get on some decent psych meds and quit bashing conservative talk radio hosts he could end up with a decent show. He does do a good job of flaming liberals and painting them as evil but he also sticks his foot in his mouth a lot.

If he keeps staying this current course he is going down for the long count.

[zerosix]

I, too, can no longer tolerate Savage because he really sounds angry all of the time. Does the guy ever find joy in his life, if he does, it's never on air and I really don't need his referring to every one in media, other than himself, in extremely derogatory terms.

I got over name calling in Jr. Hi., when some girl lots bigger than me (I was 4'8" and 90 lbs) offered to "clean my clock".

[montag813]

On economic issues, Michael Savage is off and Rush is definitely the one who articulates that the best.

Although I enjoy Michael, I certainly have to agree with you there. One caveat is that he rightfully connects our China trade policies with their oftern-overlooked ambitions to dominate the world.
