Nice interview with one of my heroes, Dr. Michael Savage!

[Jim_Curtis]

What is it he calls Bill Bennett, "the black baby aborter", or something?

[HitmanLV]

Best as I am aware, Savage has not given Bennett a hard time.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

He's too abrasive for my taste. I don't like BOR and my husband calls me too conservative, go figure.

[mmercier]

Savage reminds me of Sheppard Smith on FOX.

Both have enthusiasm and love what they are doing.

Both of them step in it now and then because $hit happens when you are so occupied with your job that you forget to look where you are stepping.

Savage can be a coarse bastard, even by my 80 grit standards, while Shep is always the gentleman..

[The Worthless Miracle]

I am ok with savage. He definitely doesn't pull any punches. He is just very repetitive, if you hear one show, you've heard them all...

[Bear_Slayer]

However "Right" he might ever be, he is still an arrogant bully and an asshole.

[HitmanLV]

Yep, but when he is on a roll, he is on a roll!

[HitmanLV]

Same could be said of me from time to time. :-)

[apackof2]

“I tried to publish a book [`Immigrants & Epidemics’] about the rising occurrence of certain epidemics with unscreened immigrants coming [into this country],” he recalls.

He should try again

[HitmanLV]

Yes. In many respects Savage was shockingly ahead of his time.

[Trajan88]

Play that Metalica and Motley Crue intro... now kick those whiney, bleeding heart liberals to the curb.

[HitmanLV]

You guys wanna hear my demos for Savage's current 'search for a co-host' contest?

[Flux Capacitor]

Savage is the conservative Michael Moore. In other words, he's a gibbering asshole and that's all he'll ever be.

[Lizavetta]

However "Right" he might ever be, he is still an arrogant bully and an asshole.

Yes......at times.

AT other times he's wonderfully lucid, thoughtful, intelligent, and pondering on tough questions.

AT other times he's a maniac....other times a F student in Logic 101.....at other times a fabulous raconteur.

Don't pigeonhole him. He's many different things.

[massadvj]

Funny, abrasive, provocative, amd unquestionably the smartest guy doing radio talk right now. He makes you cringe now and again, but he definitely doesn't sugar coat things like Rush and Sean. He is not afraid to criticize the Republicans, and that I find quite refreshing.

When Hannity and Limbaugh want to distract the audience from the Republican brand of socialism being imposed on us, they just star bashing Clinton, Kennedy and/or leftists in general. I find that disheartening since the libs aren't even relevant in American politics anymore. The critical fights are within the Republican party, but Sean and Rush rarely want to go there, probably out of a fear of splintering the audience.

Apparently, the one thing we all have in common is hatred for the left, so that is their old reliable standby. Unfortunately, it is getting old and the ratings are beginning to show it.

[HitmanLV]

Nah!

[HitmanLV]

Yep, well said.

[Bear_Slayer]

:-)

me too!

but I would say that of Savage every day.

[HitmanLV]

Yep, true!
