I definitely don't know a lot about you. I've read quite a few of your posts over the years. If I recall, you're a midwestern woman with grown children. Old fashioned values. I might have thought Grant was a little too gruff for you.

We definitely agree on O'Reilly. I can't take the guy at all. Not for 30 seconds.

You said:

Savage is a fraud,a sicko,and a blowhard. He only seems to attack people who enjoy listening to a wild man off his meds,or acting like a wild man as shtick.That says all one needs to know about you.

Did you mean "attack" or "attract"? I would definitely say I enjoy listening to someone acting like a wild man as schtick. Paul McCartney singing "Helter Skelter" comes to mind, or "Long Tall Sally."

I'm not sure if Savage is a fraud, because I am not sure in what way you think he is defrauding people. Nothing jumps to my mind, but then I just listen occasionally while I'm driving home.

I think he's much more intersting to listen to than Hannity or Levin, who merely tell the audience what it already thinks it knows. Savage expresses himself. Is he a blowhard? Well, I guess you have to be to talk into a microphone for hours at a time for a living. So yeah. He's a blowhard. Sicko? I don't know. I'm not a doctor.

Well,you got almost EVERYTHING that you think you know about me,dead wrong! LOL

And from my posts,it is really easy to understand why I would have been a BIG fan of Bob Grant's when he was at his gruffest. :-)

I waited for years (sending a LOT of letters to my cable supplier) to get FNC.When we finally got it,I couldn't wait to watch O'Reilly,after reading endless posts about him on FR. After the first show,I couldn't believe that people here liked him.

I meant ATTRACT...sorry.

I've heard Savage only a few times and one of the times,he actually said that almost ALL of what he says is an act and that he doesn't mean a lot of what he says.Yes,he IS a fraud ! He often doesn't think before he speaks and it's apparent that his off the cuff babblings are childish and/or pathetic rants just to rant.He's a case of arrested development and any high schooler,drunk on his own words,could do the same routine easily! Savage is,at best,like some punk senior in prep school or freshman in college,three sheets to the wind,acting like an idiot,foaming at the mouth,and feeling as though he is "intelligent" because a grinning band of similarly drunk guys are nodding at him.

And no,everyone on radio or T.V. who is a talking head/host,doesn't have to be a blowhard,for the job. You need to find out just exactly what that word means. :-)

Mark Levin does NOT "just tell his audience what they already know",unless his entire audience is composed of superlative Constitutional scholars;which it isn't.
