I never heard Savage say this alleged statement.

The only problem is there is an AUDIO of Michael Savage.

Here's the link to it :

Here are excerpts from the audio :

"Why was there an asthma epidemic amongst minority children? Because I'll tell you why: The children got extra welfare if they were disabled, and they got extra help in school. It was a money racket. Everyone went in and was told [fake cough], "When the nurse looks at you, you go [fake cough], "I don't know, the dust got me." "See, everyone had asthma from the minority community."

"[a] fraud, a racket. ... I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' "

I think Savage should be given the liberal pass of “what I ment to say was”......A D D.

Although he does have a point in his references, not to diminish the truely afflicted autistic. The more people diagnosed with afflictions, the more dependents on government, including government administered healthcare.
The more excuses to pay disability claims.

Unfortunately, the severely afflicted are thrown in with the “manufactured excuses. And with the HIPA act on medical privacy, many instances are hard to challenge as legitimate.
It is relatively easy to get certain doctors to issue a declaration of disability.

My brother in-law’s son recieves NO government aid for his medical treatment for autism. Even a trip to the dentist is nothing routine. Private insurance pays nothing for all the experimental medications and treatments the boy has recieved.
The gluten free flours and products cost a fortune.

I don’t make excuses for Savage. He is a frequent foot in mouth personality. But don’t overlook his complete message just because a small portion of it offends some people.
