"I take things to an extreme sometimes," Savage said, "to make a point."

Too many Savage bashers don't understand this. I like listening Rush and Savage.

Savage covers the Jihadist existential threat better than anyone on radio.

And being funny. -------- "I take things to an extreme sometimes," Savage said, "to make a point."

Hmm. If he's funny, then I guess I don't get it. Weiner is too "savage" for my tastes. Seems like he's just acting all the time. Noone who was really that angry could survive without getting ulcers and worse.

Too many Savage bashers don't understand this.

Why is it always that someone doesn't understand?

I understand, and I don't like it. That's all. Sometimes a show just isn't for everyone's tastes. They understand it perfectly, it's just not to their liking.

Can me crazy, but I'd watch the "Uncle Mike's Bar" variety show on TV.

[Saundra Duffy]

Go, Savage Nation!!!

[Clemenza]

I would listen to Michael Savage if he would start taking his Meds again.

[Vision]

I'd set it in a bar, with good-looking women and dogs walking around. I'd be the bartender. Uncle Mike. We'd talk like people talk in a bar.

Huh?

[Clemenza]

A classic New Yorker, he can argue with anyone, about anything, from either side.

[Indy Pendance]

"Too many Savage bashers don't understand this."

I understand. I was a faithful Savage listener, couldn't wait to listen to him, and was thrilled he got the MSNBC show. Then he went off the deep end. Pity, I used to really enjoy his show.

[Darkwolf377]

He said he didn't know his mic was live.

At least he bravelly stands behind his convictions. ;)

[Saundra Duffy]

Try listening again. Sometimes I'm driving along and he CRACKS ME UP!! You don't have to agree with him on everything but you've got to admit he's one heck of an entertainer!! (I agree with him most of the time.)

[Saundra Duffy]

No other talk show host has Savage's PASSION AND OUTRAGE!!! That's what I like about him.

[Past Your Eyes]

I've never listened to his show but hear the trailers or come-on sound bites that play during the day time on stations I listen to. That's enough to convince me that I'm probably better off watching King of the Hill. "They (Hannity and Limbaugh) sell themselves short when they swallow and spit out the Republican line," he said. "To them, everything Bush does is great. How is that humanly possible, to agree with someone about everything? They lose credibility." ----If this is another example of his wisdom then he's either a liar or just doesn't know what he's talking about. There goes his credibility with me. Not that he gives a flip what I think.

[BurbankKarl]

Have you ever listened to his talks about dogs?

[Zrob]

Savage doesnt need to live in the political realm, but he does quite well there as well as in the canine world - able to bite as well as bark.

[Thrusher]

Savage is fun, although sometimes maniacal. I don't agree with everything he says, of course, but I enjoy his show. Plus, sometimes he covers things others don't or won't. As far as I know, he was talking about Able Danger before anyone else.

[Triggerhippie]

The crazier he gets, the more I like him!

Then you see the tidal wave of illegal Mexicans as Temporary Guest Workers here to do the work you don't want to do? Savage doesn't. I guess he must be a liar or doesn't know what he's talking about. Thanks for enlightening me.
