I'm sorry but every time somebody is accused of a crime, be it murder, robbery, theft or embezzlement you have some mother or friend saying, "I know (fill in the blank) and they would never do anything like that".
I remember reading reading a letter to the editor from someone who had met Bill Clinton and, "looked into his eyes and saw nothing but good".
Everybody has defenders. As far as the donation to Jerry Brown goes that does not even enter into my thinking or opinion. The fact of the matter is Michael Savage has an approach and demeanor that strikes me as being a parody of conservatism. He might well be a conservative, but he contributes NOTHING to advance the causes that we as conservatives believe in.
Your point is well taken. I appreciate your respectful tone.
