The Summer Ratings Book is in today in New York and Levin beats Savage - Again - 4.1 to 3.8 ( 6 to 8 p.m.)
And that means what actually.
All are verifiable lies to anyone who listens to Savage, and can understand english.
You are a Savage smear merchant of the highest order.
He does that to everybody.
Shows how tough he is.LMAO
So when Weiner says he wants to bring the troops home before completing the mission, how is that not "cutting and running"?
Please explain without name-calling, insults and lies.
If possible.
Lack of response will indicate you are the "smear merchant".
Simply put, it's because HE said it that people think it's different.
It's like the critic who said a certain play was a work of art; when asked why he believed this he responded that the writer was an artist; therefore, whatever he creates is a work of art.
Savage is a prime example of a cult of personality: His followers believe him to be a conservative, so therefore whenever he wants to do something like cut and run, or give money to Brown, or call for respect for animal rights, his followers simply say "He's not a robot or cookie-cutter Republican." Because to try to reconcile his liberal ideas with conservatism is impossible.
Which is why so many "conservatives" claim they're libertarians; they're conservatives without embracing the philosophy of conservatism, possibly for selfish interests (selfish not in the insulting sense, but merely because they're putting personal needs and life experience ahead of conservative philosophical concepts) or convenience (for example, they want to have abortion available for their own selves, because they sleep around, so they come up with a justification for abortion even though it has of late become part of what it means to be a conservative).
Savage's adherents like his outspokenness, but to admit they only like the vents, the emotional experience, would be like saying they like sex only for the physical pleasure, and not for the possibility of conception and the use of sex as an expression of love. Admitting one likes Savage only because he's a rude, bigoted and angry person would admit to having those same qualities, or valuing them, when it's so much easier to say they find his candor refreshing and that's it. But Al Franken is candid, and they don't like him.
Savage is like the Clintons--he's out for himself. But those who bought into his "rebel conservative" pose (and that's all it is) will feel pretty damned stupid if they admit to being hoodwinked. So, like the JFK fans who lauded him for being a family man before the revelations of his personal life came out, Savage fans have to say those things aren't REALLY important--in the case of Kennedy, that honor and respect for one's wife are any of our business; in the case of Savage, that it's not what he believes is 100% true to a conservative philosophy, but that his just TALKING about this stuff is what's important, so his occassional non-conservative ideas--animal rights, pulling out of Iraq--are beside the point. (He also has the very worst aspects of supposed conservatives--his hatred for gays is in direct contradiction to religious conservative claims that they hate the sin but love the sinner.)
Savage has taken his conservative fans for a ride, but they've gone along for so long that they can't admit they were had without looking like dupes. So they act like they went along for the ride willingly, and keep changing their excuses for being fans of this very hateful, very ignorant (no matter his constant prattling on about degrees--since when did we give a fig about that?) and very sad little man.
Great post.
Change the names and reverse the ideologies and you know who you are describing? Bill Clinton.
And the Clinton defenders act the same way as the Weiner defenders, too.
Can you post what you just wrote on the following thread?: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1731796/posts
It's time for the Weinernauts to come back to Earth.
Mr. Braveheart had to call on only 5 reinforcements (RE:enforcers).
If you can't argue for yourself, why argue at all?
Please explain without name-calling,insults and lies.
Check your post #106, name-caller.
So when Weiner says he wants to bring the troops home before completing the mission, how is that not "cutting and running"?
Repeat the lie (which you do) often enough and you actually beleive it.
Savage has taken his conservative fans for a ride
People listen to his show for many different reasons.
He's not just a "conservative talk show host."
But if you don't like what you hear, so be it.
At least you explain yourself with relative distinction: which is more than I can say for one of your pals. (guess who)
"Repeat the lie (which you do) often enough and you actually beleive it."
Freud would call this projection.
Some would say calling FRiends to help one argue, would be wimpy.LMFAO
Am I the only FReeper who enjoys BOTH Levin and Savage? I always start with Levin, because I love his brilliant monologues. But, as I have told Mark, his callers are simply the dumbest on all of radio. They are so stupid as to be unbearable. I got WABC's Phil Boyce to admit as much to me 2 years ago, and it has not improved. So as soon as Mark is done, the dial goes over to Savage for the rest of the time remaining.
Savage is a fraud. Our local radio station just replaced Savage with Mr. Levin. Levin is GOOD.
"Our local radio station just replaced Savage..."
I believe this is a trend.
You lucky b@st@rd!
:)
Praying for they day when it happens here in Austin.
That would be b@st@rd-ette. ;)
We now have starting at 9 AM: Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, local stuff, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin. It's an awesome line-up now.
Still, I'm jealous
:)
You listen to him on the net right? wabcradio.com has Rush, Sean, Mark
Oh yes.
I usually can't listen to Hannity because I don't like his show format (too many recurring guests, Rangel, Whoraldo, etc), so I anxiously wait for the Great One to come up on wabc radio.
I listen to online Jazz/Fusion while waiting on Mark's show.
I did the "Get off the phone..." animated graphic for the Levin FR thread too.
I could make a nice animated graphic for the Weiner folks if they were nicer to me. If they don't show me more love, I may compose and post one anyway.
Don't worry, it would be a zinger.
LOL
I am happily listening to the Great One online now, (WABC); never miss it.
