To those that don't know Savage or listen to him, he claims to be an "independent conservative"... He surely does espouse some conservative views, but the vile he spews towards Bush, his cabinet, and other Republicans and GOPers could be mistaken for Air America trash.
It would be easy to blow him off as another looney blow-hard, but he's the 3rd most listened-to talk show host in the nation... He has over 8 million listeners, and in calling himself a conservative, he DOES have some real influence there. He's supposed to be on our side, but shifts positions so often, he's become a joke. He embodies every lefty criticism of our side.
In listening to parts of his show last night, he has the following things to say, in a short time span...
* Syria isn't nearly as bad as Iran, they can be spoken to, they don't threaten Israel, they are nationalists not fundamentalists
* The war was started to benefit Oil companies.
* Blasted Bush to no end, said Rice should have been fired a long time ago, blasted the rest of the cabinet
* Said it was OK for Pelosi to go talk to Syria
* Asked why is there a division between GOP and Dems, why do we automatically assume everything they do should be hated, etc.
In my view, this scum is far more dangerous than Air America and nearly every lib out there. He's pretending to be a conservative, yet does more damage to our causes than any other non-politician I can think of, because he has the influence to sway people.
This guy is an utter disgrace and a phony.
May I share some of your popcorn? :)
How about “vile bile” — that works for me.
Savage is just another MSM crackpot. Folks who listen to him would listen to Chrissy Matthews. LOL
All except you, of course, NYC Republican. Ooops. ;)
Levin is an EXCELLENT alternative to Savage.
(;-)
DAMN, I wish I thought of that! Perfect.
Michael Savage is a phony. He never stops pushing his books. Not only that, he spends altogether too much time telling his audience about all the university degrees and how brilliant he is.
Which makes it difficult to understand when he gets basic facts wrong....
Like when he fumed and raved that Pres. Bush should have sent in the Louisiana Nat’l Guard after Katrina. Bush doesn’t have the authority to send in the Louisiana Nat’l Guard. That’s under the authority of the state’s governor.
The president can “nationalize” the Guard but only when there is an insurrection. A hurricane is not an insurrection.
When Savage gets basic facts wrong, one can only wonder how he obtained all those degrees.
I stopped listening to him a long time ago.
A "conservative" with 8 million listeners??? Yep, I'd like to know what lies he's spewing.
"WAR for OIL". What better rally cry do we have from the left? Guess what, Savage has adapted that mantra... that we're in there solely for oil. What a DOLT
“(he)does more damage to our causes than any other non-politician I can think of, because he has the influence to sway people.”
I appreciate this is your view, however is there any documented proof that this guy has damaged your cause?
Here's an old list that needs updating, but you will get the picture....
Psalm 118:22
“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.” NASB
I still like that ‘routinely hosts Chuck Schumer part.’ The guy was on the show once, perhaps twice. Not exactly routine.
He's useless for anything other than laughing at.
Spews hatred and vile towards our Commander in Chief
Want’s Rumsfeld fired
Claims to be a sort of “Patton” on the War on Terror, but when the Israelis started bombing Lebenon, he turned into Cindy Sheehan
Routinely asks callers a question, then ignores their answer and continues on manianical rant.
Called Cheney a liar, and said he didn’t believe a word he says, ever.
Called Bush a liar.
so he called bush a liar, so what.
Any proof that your cause has been damaged? Has enrollment dropped? Are donations down? Besides just presenting an opinion you do not like, how is this guy a threat?
There are plenty (about 50%) of people out there who were never part of your cause, and never will be. If you are suggesting that this savage character is causing your support to diminish, where are the numbers?
Personally, I doubt the influence of talking heads on the general population, but that’s just me.
If you observe the political leanings of just the Wiener fans here on FreeRepublic, you will see that it is a combination of "Independents", "Libertarians", "Nationalists", John Birch Society members, and other, one-issue groups, but very few, if any, who claim to be Republican. While I agree with probably each issue championed by these groups, I oppose their methods of achieving it.
There is also glowing hypocrisy on their part, because the day after the 06' election, most admitted to voting GOP.
I am hacked off about his comments about Pelosi - supporting her trip to Syria.
As a Jewish person, Savage should be ashamed of what he said yesterday.
P.S. If anyone wants to see how much I have supported Savage’s show in the past, it’s not too hard to do.
Having said that, I am in no way withdrawing suipport from almost all of the issues he has supported on his show.
For example, Presidnet Bush has lost the qualifications necessary to be President, due to his refusal to enforce the border, and due to his determination to create a global new world order superstate that would meld together America, Canada and Mexico.
“There is also glowing hypocrisy on their part, because the day after the 06’ election, most admitted to voting GOP.”
I voted straight ticket Repub in ‘06. But I also have wanted the GOP to be CONSERVATIVE. No hypocrisy there. I just want the party to be conservative, like it has claimed to be in the past.
