Good.
I don’t want Weiner fired, just moved to the 1AM time slot so we can here Mark Levin live.
PING!
TRN is target number 1 of the Dems....
From the article.....
>>Dr. Savage has clarified that his July 16th statements concerning autism were not directed at those who are in fact challenged by this horrible affliction, but were instead addressing efforts to broaden the concept of autism beyond those who truly are autistic to a broader “autistic spectrum” of behavioral symptoms which are also manifested by persons who do not suffer from autism, and his concern that many children are being misdiagnosed as autistic due to the subjective nature of autism diagnosis (due to the lack of known biomedical indicators, such as blood tests, to definitively confirm or deny the actual existence of autism).
Dr. Savage has also explained his belief that there have been efforts by certain professionals and professional organizations to expand diagnoses of autism more broadly, for various reasons, and his concern that this victimizes and stigmatizes children who are misdiagnosed as autistic. On multiple other occasions Dr. Savage has expressed his concerns that other conditions, such as ADD and ADHD, are overdiagnosed and result in improper medication of young children, which Dr. Savage regards as abusive.<<
I don’t often agree with Savage, but I do on this.
He probably put it horribly wrong as he often does.
Good...screw all this talk of ‘censorship’. Let free speech reign....those who don’t like Savage? Turn the dial then and don’t listen. Let the leftist/stalinists be the freedom squelchers...smart move and the right thing for the network to not fire Savage! Free speech baby.....
Savage is taking on the medical institution and has been for a long time. However, he has stepped on some new toes with this one.
Haven’t listened to him in a long time. He wears a little thin after a while.
Savage is with the perfect syndicator for him, any lesser network probably would've folded before the pressure, Talkradionetwork owned by the Masters family surely understands the forces that they're dealing with here and promptly assesses the blame for this orchestrated controversy where it truly belongs, Media Matters, haters of all that is good, an organization led by of all things a Sodomite, how appropriate and symbolic.
The left is in a two way bind here. They want everyone diagnosed with something and drugged in order to have better control of the population and to promote the idea that everyone has to be under the care of Big Brother. At the same time they hate Big Pharma as much as they hate Big Oil and Big Cheese and all other large Capitalist entities.
Savage is, of course, nuts. But why shouldn’t he have the same right to free speech as we all pretend to have? Parents with autistic children have every right to be angry with his remarks, but, surely, there are countless offices and agencies devoted to their cause, offices and agencies that will bombard the media with endless statistics and anecdotes to justify their positions. Why must one man be silenced for saying something that runs contrary to the ‘official line?’ Over the past few years, lots and lots of commentators have said things about America and the current Bush administration that I find both wrong and inflammatory, but, like many Americans, I have held my fire and accepted the fact that people have a right to be nuts and to say so in the public forum.
Why should someone be fired for speaking the truth?
(and sometimes I DO agree with him!)
Somebody is always trying to get him fired. Maybe some feel threatened that he is the 3rd most popular radio talk show host in the nation, and closing in on #2.
He is the only national talk show host in the USA who never pulls his punches. I have lots of problems with him. He is curt and cuts people off, he has a hair trigger, he gets too extreme. But he is the only one I know is 100% honest and he doesn’t care if his honesty makes you mad or hurt. He is brutally honest.
Meanwhile, Rush continues to “carry water for the GOP”, while Hannity never even considered not doing so. I appreciate Rush and Sean, but I respect Savage for his complete honesty. He is willing to tackle what the others won’t.
Same happens with ADD/ADHD -- it's all about the Money !!
Good thing he didn’t call anybody “nappy”, eh?
this is good to hear why back down ...
