Savage is right. The hypocritical outrage is wrong.

I disagree. When I first listened to him I thought he was crazy. However, the more I listen... I realize he is by far way ahead of the rest in terms of intelligence and insight.

Now when I tune to other talk radio, blogs, tv... I fine they eventually parrot or twist (to pretend they came up with this idea) what Savage has been saying for a long time. I watched him do this multiple times.

"Representatives from several faiths,....."

This "religious group" consist of about 12 - 20 people (the usual suspects) around Kansas City, who are always screaming "hate" over this issue or that and led by one malcontent who ran for Mayor but failed to get elected.

This is the same "religious group" who demanded a 74 yr old member of the Minute Men be kicked off an unpaid Park Board because of her "racist" connections.

They also welcome Jesse Jackson whenever he comes to town to "protest (shake down)" this business/group or that.

One of these "religious group" was a leader in the "Su se puedo" "march for human rights."

“...give Muslims or interfaith groups air time to respond and explain Islam,”

This is nothing but and attempt at defacto equal time doctrine. If they can get stations across the country to ban all conservatives, why then they won't have to have equal time because the only one speaking will be liberals, their version of a perfect world.

I have a clue for these idiots,and for the savage bashers on FR, If someone offends you don't listen to them. Use the option of turning the radio off or change the station.

If they don't want their children to be "tainted" with his comments then they shouldn't let their children listen to him. I guess they can't grasp the concept. For people who don't believe in conservative ideals the lefties sure spend a lot of time listenting to them and being offended by them!

I don’t smoke, but I do listen to Savage at least 20 minutes every night. That’s probably why I think the way I do about him.

He can draw an audience and I find him more fun than Mark Levin. But last night he called President Bush “an oil man.”

That sounded like my father the Democrat.

[dr.zaeus]

Did I miss something?

I’m not a Democrat, but I’m intellectually honest enough to admit that the Bush family is an “oil” family.

If Bush isn’t an “oil man”, then I guess it’s just a hobby of his.

[Nextrush]

The tone of his comments was exactly the same as my father and other Democrats who speak derisively of the president as “an oil man.”

[ he plasters such hate speech, often at the other conservative TV and radio people that I cannot and won’t listen to it ]

Some things are WORTH HATING..
Banal political pap is only for the thin skinned..

You know, pap like O'Really, Hannity, and the Golfer(Al Rushbo)..

I agree with your sentiment re:Savage, but I just change the station, not demand that they take him off the air.
When people choose not to listen, he’ll be off the air. Since a LOT of people enjoy him, I guess he belongs ON the air. That’s the American way.

As soon as I hear “representatives of many faiths”, I know that Christianity is not represented—only some heretics.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

For all who have no use for Savage.. you've heard it before: turn the knob!

But nooooooo. Some of you want him off the air or could not care less if he's kicked off the air. "He gives conservatives a bad name." "He's a hater." He's this evil thing and he's that evil thing.

You've just defined free speech and yet you say you believe in the Constitution. Go figure.

Wot?

Oh.. push the button then.

[whatisthetruth]

he plasters such hate speech, often at the other conservative TV and radio people that I cannot and won’t listen to it. I wouldn’t miss it if 710 kicks it.

Savage is not for everyone, sure he ridicules some of the other talkers out there as faux conservatives because he believes they just spew talking points for the GOP but he's not screaming that they should be silenced.

Liberals identify Savage as conservative or hard right so if they're going after him, technically they're going after us. I certainly don't need a bunch of wacked out liberals telling me what I can listen to and what I can't. Hopefully the Savage faithful in Kansas City gives the station an earful of support.

I see Savage as a hater

O'Reilly is that you??????

“I see Savage as a hater

O’Reilly is that you??????”

Ouch. ;)

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.

Savage is the greatest thing on radio. He doesn't mince words or play the "nice guy" namby-pamby game like some other hosts. He tells it like it is. And it's nice to hear some anger and rage on the radio...because 99% of the time he's right, and his anger is justified.

Bearing petitions and prayers, about 70 people gathered Sunday to protest the “hateful utterances” of national radio personality Michael Savage, whose talk show is carried locally by KCMO 710-AM.

Representatives from several faiths, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Sikhism, were meeting for the first time as the Interfaith Coalition Against Bigotry at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

I hope that 7,000 people counter the utter nonsense these liberals are spewing forth! I have been listening to Michael Savage for many years. I have heard ZERO hate speech. I hope these morons have evidence to support their claims! My only guess is that they have disordered minds and cannot connect the dots.
