Our station here has been running these “his views do not reflect our veiws” spots. Why can’t they just embrace the diversity of thought!

I hate how Mark Levin is always screaming and shouting. He sounds like a nut to me.

You can listen to his podcast for free, with no commercials on his website, btw.

I can’t believe anyone takes Savage seriously . . he is just for amusement.

He said what I consider to be the truth about autism- it is overdiagnosed. I wonder if this was the straw?

Sounds like they are, unless you just want them to agree with Savage.

Savage is a whack-job. He’s obnoxious, arrogant, perpetually angry, poorly reasoned, a lousy debater, manic-depressive, self-absorbed, and a general ass. He does more damage than good.

I like the convenience of turning on my car radio and listening to whoever is on one of the dials while driving home. Here in Austin, Texas during the afternoon drive home, we basically have a "choice" between an leftwing-libertarian/sports freak, and Weiner.

It would be nice to turn on a dial and keeping it on the channel without having to turn it out of disgust.

No, he said....”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.’ “

Ipod and XM radio are your friends.

I think his rant would have been even more appropriate for ADHD.

I wish he’d just apologize. He doesn’t need to be fired over this. But if he’s so concerned what a real man should act like, well it’s pretty obvious to me that real men don’t pick on retarded children, and real men apologize when they make mistakes.

He can go on making fun of liberals for the rest of his life without ever feeling like he needs to apologize for that, but this was something that crossed the lines of basic human decency in my opinion. Just saying “You know what, I was trying to exaggerate for effect but it really came out badly and hurt a lot of good people, so I’m sorry I put it that way” would end the whole thing.

I have the best iPod they make, but I don't like listening to any talk show that is more than 7 seconds old.

Regarding XM, paying to listen to the radio is crazy in my opinion.
