America's most fiery conservative talk show host backing liberal Jerry Brown for California's attorney general?
Yes, it's true.
Michael Savage, the nation's third-most-listened-to radio host (and fourth-most-influential host, according to NewsMax's Top 25 List), confirmed that he recently donated $5,600 – the maximum allowable – to Brown's campaign.
Brown won the Democratic Party nod and is facing Republican State Sen. Chuck Poochigian of Fresno, Calif.
"What can I say?" Savage told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?"
Republican Poochigian is currently a state senator and former assemblyman who has served 12 years in Sacramento.
"You have to make choices in an imperfect world," Savage said. "And this, this Machugian guy [sic]. I never heard of him. I don't even know who he is."
"Why bet on a horse that isn't going to win? Why throw your money into the garbage?"
Savage said he respects Brown's decision to start the Oakland military academy and his experience as a politician, regardless of his very liberal past.
Brown, who had the nickname "Governor Moonbeam," served as California's governor for two terms beginning in 1974. A former Democratic presidential candidate, he ran for mayor of Oakland, Calif., in 1998 and won.
"People change. He changed. He has experience," Savage told the Chronicle. ... "He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs."
As for the conservative Poochigian's campaign, they are not so angry with the Savage defection, bragging that their candidate has the backing of Bo Derek.
Under Attorney General Brown, Californians would have to fear the suede-denim secret police, who might come for their uncool niece....
Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown?
Dr. Michael Alan Weiner, Ph.D. and ex-governor Moonbeam what a pair.
He once called Jerry Brown a "Left-wing skinhead", by the way.
I can't listen to him because he depresses me. Rush is uplifting. I agree with Savage on some things. I feel like it's all hopeless after listening to Savage, though.
But Rush also bugs me sometimes. Whenever he starts talking about something that involves mathematics, or scientific principles, he is a moron. Otherwise, he's a genius. I don't understand how someone so smart can be so stupid in that way.
yep
"If one were to pick up a dictionary and lookup ''ego-maniacal'' I'm certain that there'd be a pencil drawing of this blabber mouthed screed monger."
In addition he is obviously a very insecure man with a persecution complex, messianic delusions, and is also a manic depressive. The man is a basket case. No wonder his mother didn't love him.
There you go insulting scumbags again.
And he defended John Kerry when Rush made fun of Kerry's "intelligence" during the 2004 campaign. Savage said indignantly that at least Kerry had a college degree. That statement alone should have alarmed and alienated all his disciples.
You pointed out something very cogent. Rush is inspiring, while listening to Savage for any length of time makes one despair for the human race. He sounds like he hates everybody.
LOL!!!
I explained this same observation to a relative of mine once. He responded that he is scared to death that Savage's outlook might be the more realistic one. That's why I don't like to listen to Savage anymore. My relative got me scared to death as well.
