Strange bedfellows: Michael Savage Donates to Democrats
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 10/16/06 | arual

Posted on 10/16/2006 12:52:56 PM PDT by arual

Strange bedfellows: It turns out that ultra-hot conservative talk show host Michael Savage is backing Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown for state attorney general. "What can I say? I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?'' Savage said, when asked why he chose Democrat Brown over conservative Republican Chuck Poochigian. Savage, whose rants can be heard locally on KNEW-AM, is backing up his hot talk with some hot money as well. Savage Productions, which lists Savage as president and his wife, Janet Weiner, as director, has donated $5,600 to Brown's campaign. "You have to make choices in an imperfect world,'' Savage said. "And this, this Machugian guy. (Like we said, it's Poochigian.) I never heard of him. I don't even know who he is." Poochigian has spent the past 12 years in Sacramento, first in the Assembly and now in the Senate. Doesn't impress the president of the Savage Nation. "Why bet on a horse that isn't going to win? Why throw your money into the garbage?'' So how did the best-selling author of "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder'' wind up backing a liberal once nicknamed "Governor Moonbeam"? "People change. He changed. He has experience,'' Savage said of Brown. "He started the Oakland military academy -- that was a good thing." And Brown's politics? "He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs," Savage said.

I have been telling you Savage fans what a commie-socialist he was, dispite his slick sloganeering faking you guys to believe otherwise.

You are funny. If Savage is a Socialist, than Bush is a Trotskyite.

These aren't the RINO political campaign contributions you're looking for.

Move along.

"Useful idiots for the liberals and terrorists, just of another stripe."

Explain how some conservatives or Michael Savage are useful idiots for terrorists. Come on.

"And you believe Hush Bimbo and Sean Vannity are real conservatives?"

Oh yeah, you fit the Savage profile exactly, which is anal-cranial inversion failure to recognize conservatism when it slaps them in the face.

PhD are, in my experience, a sure sign that someone can't cut it in the real world.

Well Condi Rice certainly proves that theory.

He hates Rush Limbaugh, calls him "Rush Bimbo", and I have heard his say some awful vulgar stuff about other conservative pundits.

"Sean Vanity" and "Bill O'Liarly" are other examples of Savage's "wit." Envy literally consumes the guy.

"He hates Rush Limbaugh, calls him "Rush Bimbo""

Umm.

The nickname is "Hush Bimbo".

Just for the record.

I don't like Weiner because he is intellectually vapid.

He just blows on about whatever knee-jerk faux conervative position to pander to his equally vapid base.

In the process, he falls for the Dim's bait, and used to destroy the conservative movement from within.

Can't argue with you there because they too hate...

Bush, Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, O'Reilly, Rumsfeld, Rice...the list grows.

"Savage, whose rants can be heard locally on KNEW-AM"

Savage gives us mere ranters a bad name. Unhinged hateful spewing is closer, but adjectives fail to fully describe his vitriol.

You caught me, I'm a true lefty.

I support federal interfence in local schools. I support open borders and a guest worker amnesty for people who broke this nation's immigration laws. I support expanding Medicare. I supported campaign finace reform. I want more spending and more pork bills.

Oh wait....

"The guy has 2 PhD's and has been way ahead of the social and medical curve for decades.

Ahead of the social & medical curve? Why because he tells us that? He is a bitter man who has to constantly insult Limbaugh and other conservative commentators to feel better about himself. For someone who is ahead of the curve socially, as you profess, he sure acts pedestrian when he starts telling us how he is the best and the first to do everything.

Wasn't Gov. Moonbeam the guy who called capital punishment state-sponsored murder?

Yes, and he also said abortion is "the killing of the unborn", and was one of the first people to expose Clinton's corruption for the world to see. There's both good and bad to Jerry Brown.

Dr. Weiner jumped the shark a long time ago. Now, he's entered moonbat territory. He is a circus act. He will go the way of Err America within a year or two.

I do not listen to Savage. I do not even know if I can around here.

I have heard him a few times, but not in some while.

Anybody who could possibly support Jerry Brown, or anyone with a "d" after their name is the one with a freaking mental disorder.

If he was a rat shill doing his act just to make conservatives look bad, he would be smart enough not to donate to Gov. Moonbeam. No, he's just a moron.

Actually in California conservative circles, the name "Jerry Brown" says it all ...

Yep, but repeating the name Jerry Brown over and over again in a Poochigian commercial would be akin to GM running commercials that repeatedly mention their competitors. Oh wait, they did that and seems they got about the same results the Poochigian campaign is set to attain.
