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.

Thanks!
How do you know he hasn't quietly done just that?
You assume that he hasn't already done just that.
How did I lie?
Only a fool would campare Savage to Hillary.
Savage's goal is OBVIOUSLY to discredit conservatives by acting insane.
Anyone who falls for his routine is completely naive.........or a fellow liberal with Savage.
I didn't understand that, but at least it was short.
I don't know if you are very young or not, but since you've only been voting republican for the last four years, you just don't understand how deeply many of us feel about the leftist Jerry Brown.
Many of us have followed his career for almost 40 years, and have lived under his administration and were active in opposing him, it is what conservatives do.
Do you even bother to read our posts, such as #457 ?
Dr. Watson finally got a clue!
I’ve pinged the California Ilk Herd. As of post #453 they’d not shown up here, at all. They don’t like it when they modus operandi is exposed. Divide the base, isolate differing points of view, display bullying intolerance and extreme rants. Any rant will do, as long as it embarrasses conservatives and moves the middleground away from them.
The few times I’ve listened to Savage I’ve found him to be an embarrassment, doing more harm than good. His rants resonate to us, but alienates the middleground. Is this his goal, I don’t know, I’ve not listened to him enough.
Finny, they are the type of saboteurs know as ‘fifth columnists’. They portend to have impeccable conservative credentials, but they’re pretending. Pretending to be extreme ranting right-wingers. They do this to neutralize FR and the conservative cause which it supports. The more people who begin to recognize their deceit the sooner their division can be exposed. Call ‘em on it when you see it.
I’ve only pinged the California herd, but these fifth columnists are all over the place, anytime there is an emotional issues, anytime there is angry disagreement, anytime there is bullying. Call ‘em on it when you see it. Don’t take their bait and contribute to whatever emotional issue they’re using, call ‘em on their personal attempts at division.
Savage is a PHONY. He's a LIBERAL.
And any conservative with a modicum of sense had already figured that out.
His goal is to turn Americans away from conservatism with his irrational, demonic histrionics.
Good thing he's not as good an actor as he thinks he is.....
display bullying intolerance and extreme rants.

You wear that snip well, grunt. You are no vestal virgin.
That post speaks to the paranoic mindset of some folks here.
Where the hell were you the first 450 posts??!!??!!
Is that the point you're trying to get across here??
No. A whole lot of us who have listened to him have seen that he's a LIBERAL using conservative rhetoric to make conservatism look bad.
But he does a GREAT job at that, so congrats to you on being a loyal follower.
I don't know that he hasn't done that, and I hope he has. My point was in response to the suggestion that he donated the $5600 to Brown as a pat on the back for instituting the military school. My response was that a donation to the school would be a more direct way to reward that, rather than a very large donation to an historically leftist, entrenched politician's campaign.
"Moonbeam" is Jerry Brown's old nickname he earned while DEMOCRAT governor of California.
He is also responsible for the horrible Rose Bird being on the CA Supreme Court... the extremely anti-death penalty "Bird Court."
My best guess, based on the posting history of the 68 grunt account, is that Savage must have said something negative about the CaGOP because they were supporting a European liberal for governor.
Am I correct?
