He's got an excellent track record and he's a straight shooter even if you disagree with him on things, yet mentioning him on FreeRepublic might get you severely flamed

I really don't get it either. He is so much head and shoulders above any other host. Rush does a excellent job commenting on editorials and offical goings-on. Hanraty is just a goofball to me, not serious or seminal at all. But Savage is the only one I look forward to hearing. Savage just delivers stunning off-the-cuff commentary day after day--and he is so damned entertaining! The past week has truly been one of his finest.

Notice that people who attack him here on FR don't get beyond irrelevancies such as his real name (Weiner, they say "Wiener" to deride him childishly), his supposed low ratings and low book sales, and his "abusiveness" (which I have never observed as being undeserved when callers are Muslims or anti-Semetic scum). There never seems to be substantive, factual criticism of this guy. OH NO he criticized Bush...you just CAN'T do that, right? Ridiculous, Bush deserves all of Savage's scorn for his open borders policy and P.C. defensiveness in the WOT. But Savage is 1000 times more harsh against "Leninists" such as Schumer, Boxer, Kennedy, ACLU, Am-nasty, et al. He is a great American.

How harsh is he? Did he tell them to get AIDS and die?

Sorry, Montag, but calling Hannity "hanraty" sort of makes your next point moot, eh? Perhaps Savage is just plain obnoxious. When you call someone a pig, such as I've heard him on numerous occasions, whether deserved or not, that's not exactly civil discourse and certainly not a way to win someone over to your side. I could care less about his real name. He's just obnoxious and yells at his callers frequently. I call it trashmouth talk radio. He calls a colleague/competitor Hush Bimbo? Come on. He's engaging in exactly what you said FR does.

If you think Savage is some sort of saviour, that's your opinion. Lots of others just think he's rude and irritating.
