So Weldon's pushing of Able Danger should be ignored?
Dane, you are such a little political whore.
You have to understand. At bheart, Savage is a Nu Yawka, like myself. Many in flyover country simply on't get certain things that you consider extreme which are really not in a native Nu Yawka's eyes like a guy from da Bronx.
LOL! Jealous of Savage?
Savage is mentally ill: obsessive-compulsive, with bi-polar disorder.
Yes, and that towering intellect that calls his rivals "Hush Bimbo" is to be respected. Please. And to degrade his more succesful rivals because they have no college degree? Really, how petty must you be?
I don't disagree with everything he says, but when I listen to him, it's like listening to a mental patient.
A man who thinks that minimum wage needs to be a "living wage", thinks price controls are a good thing, and has no control over his emotions is no intellectual my friends.
I think Bernard Goldberg was on Rush's program once, and I heard Rush say that "this Savage fellow sounds like he's unstable". He prefaced it by saying that he hadn't listened to his show. I think Goldberg was saying that Savage made it into his book of "100 people who are Screwing up America".
Rush is entertaining, I disagree with him occasionally but rarely. He is a much more adept master of the English language and phrasing than Savage can ever hope to be. But above all, he's always in *control*, and is a master at sparring with hostile callers even if is against every fiber of their being. Hannity bores me, and I don't find his show entertaining one bit. For a small dose of vitriol I'll occasionally listen to Levin. I dislike a lot about the Bush administration, but Savage's vitriol is so over the top that he probably should start a forum like DU!
Jealously is a dangerous word to use in relation to savage. From his constant ranting against people like Limbaugh and Hannity it's easy to see how ate up he is with it.
If you don't like his accent, remind yourself never to call me. lol.
I think Tancredo should get Savage as his running mate.
Your posts reek of the same disorder.
I am not anti-Savage by any means. Stridency can be a virtue, and his contempt for the disingenuous ways and smug condescension of liberals is admirable. He is way ahead of the curve with regard to fighting lax immigration enforcement and multiculturalism. Like Ann Coulter and Phyllis Schafly, he has placed himself in the Greg zone between mainstream conservatism and the farther store of politics where dwell conspiracists, neo-Confederates, and authoritarian wannabes. In the 1970s, Schafly almost singlehandedly defeated the Equal Rights Amendment, effectively pushing the political agenda against feminism to the right. Savage's persistence against lax immigration enforcement has helped to focus the nation's attention on this problem. Even President Bush discussed the need for better border controls.
Nevertheless, Savage's factual errors and sometimes erratic behavior detract from his effectiveness.
LOL......well I don't live in fly over space and I question his methods....as many have said here....regardless or where he is from, his mean spirited, vitriolic speech only appeals to a select few and detracts from his otherwise intelligent grasp of the issues.......I grew up in Oakland Calif....I know about "bad boys"....and extreme circumstances for sure......
As Plutarch says, Savage thinks that gasoline price controls are necessary. He says that the war is a lost cause. I don't accept that he is conservative. Strident, kooky, and vicious, yes - but I don't see how that makes him a conservative.
Savage doesn't think the war is a lost cause. He thinks conducting the war the way it has been conducted so far is a losing bet.
That makes twice in a row that you used dangerous words. Reek and you go so well together.
Sometimes I get the feeling that he and some friends were sitting around trying to come up with a cooler surname than "Weiner," and someone said, "It has to be something bad . . . something wicked . . . something savage--" and then Michael jumped in and yelled, "Savage! That's it!"
Savage is wrong.
I also think Rush is a genius and entertaining. Sean is -- well, Sean... could use a little less ego and a different spiel once in a while.
So was Churchill considered a Kook (your word) before England figured out they could not survive without his leadership. There are many of us Savage Nation types our here! Come join us!
