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.
“I never could understand why anyone called him a conservative.”
He’s not one.
“There’s no doubt he was stung by the criticism. ....but good luck getting him to admit it.”
He’s already lost his Los Angeles affiliate.
He actually did support Pelosi...before he was against her...
Just recently? What was the reason given?
Anyway, he was back on shortly after an apology.
“Just recently?”
In the past couple of weeks.
“What was the reason given?”
Total speculation on my part.
I assume either low ratings or management finally became digusted with Weiner’s schtick or some combination of both.
KRLA, the station Weiner no longer is on, has put together a great programming schedule. Weiner’s show doesn’t belong or fit in with the center-right(and sane) line-up of Bennett-Ingraham-Prager-Medved-Hewitt-Miller.
“Savage lost his affiliate up here in the Seattle area for about a week in 2001 right after the Chinese forced our spy plane down. He called for us to nuke China off the face of the map, and he called for it repeatedly. I guess he wasn’t thinking about the fact that China has a ICBM-nuclear arsenal of their own, and that Savage’s city of residence (San Francisco) was well within striking range.
Anyway, he was back on shortly after an apology.”
What a loon.
Was he on KVI or KTTH at the time?
#568 so far!
Could it be BECAUSE this is a Conservative website?
