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.

Exactly right. What's more, he's no conservative. But he's a psychological case study, and that's why I listen, and I suspect many others listen for the same reason. I have no evidence of it, but I suspect he's in poor health as well.

I will give him that he has an entertaining radio show. It is often amusing to see how quickly he goes from zero to “hang the traitors”.

The fact that Savage is usually right isn’t particularly relevant. Conservatism is an ideology based in reason, modesty and prudence. Savage stands on the shoulders of truly great conservative minds — Reagan, Buckley, Limbaugh, Bennett, Goldwater, Bork. He is entirely unworthy of their mantle.

He has the temperament of a member of Code Pink. He belittles those that disagree, offers poorly reasoned counter-arguments, and ends up shouting at them and hanging up. If I were a liberal, and wanted to establish a caricature radio show to paint conservatives in the least favorable light, I couldn’t think of a better example than Mike Savage.

For information and reasoned analysis — Rush, Levin, Bennett, Beck and even Hannity are a LOT better. Hell, I’d rather take a break and listen to Dr. Laura or Sports Radio than put up w/ Savage.

As a staunch conservative I don't have the time to listen to 'psychological case studies', I listen because he IS conservative, it would go against my grain if it were otherwise.

I consider all liberals beside being mentally disordered psychological case studies, but I wouldn't waste a second listening to any of their talk show hosts spew their tripe, my system would undergo major upheaval.
