Truth or BS? Even if true the Savage of today is who I’m concerned with. People can change for better. And for the worse——>>>
In the early 1970s, Savage had more liberal political views. Savage, then Michael Weiner, introduced himself to part of the literary scene in North Beach, San Francisco. He befriended and traveled with Beat generation poets Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Neoconservative scholar Stephen Schwartz, also an acquaintance of Savage from this time, reported that Savage once posed naked in a photograph with Ginsberg while swimming in Hawaii and used the photograph as sort of a “calling card.”[8][10] One such letter describes an encounter with a black man, interpreted by some as sexual in nature.[11] Savage has denied the nature of the letter, claiming that it is part of a “smear campaign” by “gay fascists.”[11] Another acquaintance of Savage from this time was poet and author Neeli Cherkovski who says that Weiner had dreamed of becoming a stand-up comic in the mold of Lenny Bruce.[8][10] During this time Savage also worked for famous psychedelic drug advocate Timothy Leary.[12]
Around 1980 the conservative political expressions for which Michael Savage is known today became apparent. An acquaintance of Savage, Dr. Robert Cathcart, says that in his private conversations with Savage during this time, he knew Savage to have conservative political views.[10] Stephen Schwartz stated that Michael Savage became alienated from the North Beach scene in the early eighties. His beliefs and lifestyle shifted so far from his liberal friends that intense arguments would erupt when he encountered them.[13] When Savage was asked about his shift in politics and other views, he replied “I was once a child; I am now a man.”[7

Known. True. He was friends with Ginsberg. It happens. David Horowitz was a red diaper baby too.
I was really liberal at one time. My parents were dems (not now).
People change!
Oh and in The Great Global Warming Swindle the cofounder of Greenpeace is now working at the Cato Institute!!!
