I've always known there was something wrong with Michael Savage's schtick. It's intolerable. He talks like an absolute madman. He is just about as intemperate as you can get and still be on the radio.
Now I know what was wrong. The whole thing is a put-on:
Supporting a candidate out of your own wallet may be the most accurate gauge of what a donor believes in his heart. So it should come as a shock to fans to learn where their hero distributes his own political gifts. Which are not ungenerous. Just ask Jerry Brown, the decidedly liberal candidate (pro-abortion, pro-gun control, etc.) for California attorney general.
As the San Francisco Chronicle reports, Savage is a top contributor to Brown's campaign against conservative state senator Chuck Poochigian. His gift of $5,600, the maximum allowable under state law, was merited, Savage told the Chronicle after being outed. Why? Because "You have to make choices in an imperfect world."
RIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHTTTTT.

Jerry Brown? That's some choice.
Savage is a trojan horse...
getting the popcorn - there sure are a lot of savage supporters here - how they justify any support on any level for Jerry Brown is beyond me.
Don't you mean Michael Wiener? The food doctor?
Savage is an unhinged lunatic.
Michael Savage has always struck me as disingenuous anyway.
He is too bombastic to be a believer.
Yeah,mike and that choice makes it perfect! Wonder what he gives you if he wins?
But see, his contributing to Brown's campaign is OK. He explained it. :-D
I figure him to be as conservative as any other Ph.D. from New York City living in San Francisco.
My sister in law, who is totally apolitical, went with a friend to see a Micheal Savage show. She came away not liking conservatives.
I've considered the idea that the 'Savage persona' was and is nothing but a ruse. He's far too shrill to sound reasonable to the average radio listener.
But, I don't know why someone would go out of their way to cultivate such a false personality. It seems like way too much work.
There's been a weird phenomenon where conservatives have seen the left filled with ranting, unhinged lunatics and failing politically, and deciding it would be just swell to imitate them with ranting, unhinged lunatics of our own.
Well, that explains some things. I tried to listen to his radio show a few times, and came away feeling battered. He was just so shrill and - dare I say it? - savage, and often about Republicans and Republican issues, so I gave up trying to listen to him.
Savage is an unmedicated bipolar. He is loud, bizarre,.... and TOTALLY OVER!
I have stopped listening, as I am sure many more will in the near future.
The band is "mostly fictional" in the sense that its primary members have always been actors parodying heavy metal stereotypes, yet by playing concerts and releasing albums, they've blurred the line between fact and fiction. The film was accompanied by an album of the same name. The songs on the album include "Big Bottom", "Hell Hole" and "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight".
this is what Savage is, a Parody of an extremist conservative
I demonstrate the foundation of Michael Savage's radio presentation.
Yawn! Another moron comes to the wrong conclusions about Savage based on a single contribution. Anyone who actually LISTENS to Savage knows he is a far right-winger, a patriot, and a great American. First on the SwiftVets and Sinclair, first on Dubai ports, second-to-none on Islamofascism and immigration. Is he a BushBot? Hell no. And thank God for that.
False personalities are done all the time in politics, religion, and entertainment.
1. Democrats who pretend to be conservative to fool yokels in their districts.
2. Televangelist sleazeballs (Tilton, Swaggart, Baker, etc.)
3. Hollywood "stars" who spout liberal garbage in public but are pro-capitalist, keep guns, and are anti-abortion...things that would lead to expulsion from the social circuit if made public.
