SAN FRANCISCO — The humbling of Don Imus last spring over his remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball team has done nothing to quiet Michael Savage, a radio host with a far bigger following and far more checkered track record.
Mr. Savage, whose program reaches an estimated eight million listeners a week on nearly 400 stations, suggested over the summer that a group of college students on a hunger strike in support of easing immigration restrictions should “fast until they starve to death.” In October the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco, the city from which Mr. Savage often broadcasts, took the unusual step of passing a resolution condemning him for the remarks.
Then, a few weeks ago, Mr. Savage uncorked a cascade of invective about Islam. Among his on-air comments: the Koran is “a book of hate”; some Muslims, at least, “need deportation”; and adherents of Islam would do well to “take your religion and shove it up your behind” because “I’m sick of you.”
In response the Council on American-Islamic Relations, whose stated mission includes correcting mischaracterizations of Islam, tore a page from the playbook of Mr. Imus’s critics. It made Mr. Savage’s comments widely available on the Internet and called on advertisers to boycott his program, which is behind only Rush Limbaugh’s and Sean Hannity’s in number of listeners, according to Talkers magazine, an industry publication.
At least two of his major sponsors — Citrix, which sells remote access to computers, and Trusted ID, which provides protection against identity theft — have pulled their spots. Thus far, Mr. Savage said in an interview last week, the boycott had cost his program more than a million dollars in advertising revenue committed for next year.

I am glad that you did not feel that way. That is way I always put in the sarcasm tags when mocking the left.
This old hippy, Berkely, San Francisco liberal, Savage puts on an act of being a conservative and bashes the commander in chief for years during a time of war and none of you savage cultists don’t realize that is treason? Savage has undermined the president, the commander in chief, the war effort and the troops by Savage bashing the commander in Chief and the generals for years every day about the war in Iraq. now we see this moron didn’t know what he was talking about as America is winning in Iraq.Savage was just trying to score cheap political points against Bush and therefore against conservatism and the Republican party by his demagouging of the iraq war which was no different from what the liberal media has been doing. Weiner is a liberal traitor. why not support your commander in Chief during a time of war like Rush did? and savage calls Rush a water carrier for this.
Yeah does Savage (Weiner) now admit he as wrong for bashing the Commander in Chief of the U.S. armed forces for all these years since Iraq is working now. Who is this moron Savage, an old, communist, Hippy, Berkely graduate from San francisco who decided to try to make money with this scam of immitating Rush’s sucess.
Who does this old Hippy Savage think he is? he is nothing but a little cult leader now and I see all his brainless followers on this thread now are fooled by this hypocrite. Who is this Savage moron that he bashes the Commander in Chief of the Armed forces ,Bush, for years and Savage bashes the generals etc. like this moron even had an idea of what was going on in Iraq. Now we See that Bush and America is winning in Iraq so it shows that Savage and the rest of the liberal media were wrong and were demagouging Iraq to Hurt Bush, to hurt America , to hurt conservatism and to help his party the democrat/socialists get into power.
someone should tell savage that socialism will destroy our economy and civilization.
I didn’t donate money to ultra liberal, pro-illegal Jerry Brown like Michael Savage did. I would never donate money to a liberal.
I haven’t bashed the commander in Chief of the U.S. armed forces for years like Savage has. That seems like treason to me . and now we see that America is winning in Iraq so this moron was wrong in all his unfair criticism and demagouging of the commander in Chief, Bush. liberal Savage undermined the war effort. I supported the U.S. war effort against the cult of Islam which is a billion strong.
i don’t bash corporations like Savage does. that shows savage is a liberal and is for socialism. I understand that it is these corporations and private businesses that are driving the economy of the U.S, unlike socialist Savage. Savage was a Hippy in his Berkely days and is still one.
Many more examples but you cultists are brainwashed by this money hungry cult leader. this is what mohammad did with Islam. people fell for it then. I follow no man.
I didn’t call for the resignation of Dennis Hastert, the Republican speaker of the house during the Foley media created fiasco.
I am for gun rights, property rights, and free markets unlike savage who is for the minimum wage, radical environmentalism(”corporations pollute”) and more gun legislation (during the cho incident).
So If I’m so bad to you, then your cult leader Savage is worse than me.
:)
Yeah, yeah.. you are repeating yourself and the same over-the-top mischaracterizations that rendered your opinions irrelevant the first time.
Your ad hominem attacks are also painting you as an illogical buffoon and blowhard with nothing worthwhile to say LOL. You have become comedy.
In many ways, you are acting like Savage himeself often does. Perhaps that is why you hate him so much. We often hate the people who reflect our worst traits LOL.
Any others?
CAIR should be shut down with a RICO complaint, followed by the ACLU.
Does that mean I can no longer go to GOToMyPC.com and enter the promo code Savage?
You are using a typical liberal/leftist tactic, personally attack someone...
Next Rurgan Quote:
I see all his brainless followers on this thread...
How precious. Hey Rurgan, perhaps you should take your anti-psychotics before going off on rants so that you don't set yourself up to be exposed as the hypocrite you accuse others of being.
Hey BF, you’ve just witnessed classic rurgan logic, re: Savage (as he sees it). He does this about once a month or so, and it’s the same thing over, and over again.
But you have to admit that it’s pretty damned funny!
You savage cultists are really brainwashed. You don’t see anything wrong with your cult leader liberal Savage bashing the commander in Chief of the U.S. armed forced in a time of war. And what makes it worse is that liberal Weiner was bashing him every day for years on the war in Iraq. And this liberal traitor Savage (Weiner) was unfairly bashing the generals and Bush on the war in Iraq because as we see their strategy is working and America is winning in Iraq. That’s treason and since you support savage and his bashing of the commander in cheif you obviously don’t support America’s war effort.
Savage has just been bashing Bush on the war in Iraq and other things just to hurt the Republican party, hurt conservatism and to help his liberal/socialist Democrats. This is the same thing the liberal mainstream media has been doing for 7 years Bash Bush to destroy the Republican party and conservatism and help Democrats/socialism advance in AMerica, and it’s worked.
I put up facts and logical arguments . You don’t refute those because you can’t . You just attempt to insult and bash me to discredit my message and to change the subject. Yes I can insult you cult leaders back (it’s the truth anyway you are brainwashed by this liberal con man Wiener/Savage). But at least I provide logical arguments and facts to show savage is a liberal while all you savage supporters do is insult me to change the subject. guess what those ad homiminem attacks don’t bother me and I haven’t changed the subject as I’m still pointing out that Savage is a fake putting on a radio act to make money and to advance his liberalism/communism.
You know what you can do with that .
I put up facts and logical arguments.
You put up your interpretations of such, which you're entitled to. It's not my fault that they're funny as hell.
ad hominen attacks
Where? I mock you because you're easily mocked. Prove an ad hom. attack on my part before using that lie!
You savage cultists are really brainwashed.
Subsequent claim by Rurgan:
I put up facts and logical arguments... all you savage supporters do is insult me to change the subject.... guess what those ad homiminem attacks don’t bother me....
Now, two questions for Rurgan:
1) Do you consider the first sentence to be a fact and a logical argument?
2) Do you consider it to be something other than an ad hominem attack?
3) Do you bother to read the posts to which you reply?
4) Do you feel you are actually accomplishing anything with your hilarious rants? 5) Are you aware that your post proves our posts?
Finally, an assignment for Rurgan:
1) Look up "ad hominem" in the dictionary.
2) Look up "hypocrite" in the dictionary.
ok, it was 4 questions for Rurgan, lol.
Michael Savage is the Kosher Chuck Harder on Steroids. Savage filled the gap when Harder was taken off the air by the UAW in 1996. Problem is with Savage, like with Chuck Harder, if you listen too long, you feel only despair, as neither see or present any workable solution to the crises that face us today. That is why many can’t listen for long.
I like Savage and I listen to him, but when he starts to bash the President I turn him off.
Some well-reasoned critique is fine; however, he really bashes. I think the President and the country deserve far more support. We are at war, for crying out loud.
