On his radio show Thursday night, conservative talker Mark Levin scorched his former radio competitor Michael Savage for attacking fellow conservative talkers.
The feud seemed to cool off after Savage, who used to go head-to-head against Levin in the 6 p.m. EST time slot, left the Talk Radio Network and was picked up by Cumulus, the same company that distributes Levin’s show. Savage now hosts the time slot following Levin’s, from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. EST.
But in January the fight was reignited, with the two trading shots over the airwaves.
In this latest chapter of the saga, Levin took on Savage for attacking two of his colleagues, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
“I’m thinking of doing a one-hour special on the life and times of Michael Weiner,” Levin said. “Little Weiner, Weiner Nation calls himself ‘Savage,’ changes his name but you can’t blame him. He’s named after male genitalia. He is a real cancer on this business. He is a phony, fake conservative. All you have to do is Google his name and Google ‘Allen Ginsburg’ and Google ‘Fiji’ and all kinds of stuff pops up.”
“Now he goes on the airwaves and he trashes a couple of my friends — Rush [Limbaugh], Sean [Hannity] claiming they’re not conservative enough, you know, like him,” Levin continued. “I don’t know, I’ve never seen Weiner Nation at a tea party rally. I’ve never seen Weiner Nation helping the conservative movement.”
Levin encouraged Savage to return to his old 6 p.m. time slot so he could face him head-to-head once again and raised the possibility of a one-hour special based on Savage.
“Let me tell you something, you little troll, you little nobody,” Levin said. “I kicked your butt in the ratings head-to-head from one end of the nation to the other. That’s why you’re late night, got it? I’d like you to come back at 6 p.m. against, Eastern of course, so I can do it again, snaggletooth. I know all about you. All your little secrets — how you trash other hosts, how you try to position them to the left of you. You’re a puke. I’m going to tell you something else — I’m not finished on this subject. I am not finished.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize to you,” he continued. “But this thigh rash — this thigh rash is a hideous person. Yes, I remember what he said about parent’s with autistic children. I remember all of that. Yeah, I think I might do one-hour special: ‘The Weiner we didn’t know.’ You like that Mr. Producer? No, ‘The little Weiner we didn’t know.’ Actually, ‘The transgendering Weiner,’ or something like that. I’ll figure it out. Head’s up there pal.”
In 2011, the rivalry between the two radio hosts took one of its uglier turns, when Savage offered former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out of the 2012 presidential race, and Levin countered by offering Savage $100,000 to give up his radio show.
I would pay to see Levin and Weiner go head-to-head. It would be fabulous.
It’s an act.Savage is a leftist mole .Savage/Weiner is a l;beral/communist democrat. This is just one example here of millions I’ve heard.

Michael Savage calls for gun control, government censorship, and praises Obama in that video above.
Savage Bashes Palin,michelle bachmann and R’s at critical moments like elections to help democrats(socialism).
why would a conservative call for censorship, gun control. sure Savage says some things conservatives say but to make milions$. he’s a liberal
Hate Weiner that much, huh? I agree, he's a bum compared to The Great One. No contest.
I did not know about this one. :-) Nothing Savage would do would surprise me as he is off his rocker.
I don’t hate the guy, but I can’t bear to listen to his program. There’s just something about his voice and his attitude. (Like the kid on the playground you wanted to smack when you were little).
Yes. I think Levin would best Savage in such a debate but that's just a guess only because Levin is more rational than Weiner. However I have never heard either of them actually debate even a single person. They both start a debate with a caller, lose it and start screaming and yelling and then hang up on them. Yes it would be entertaining. :-)
Tell us how you really think, Levin. You can just tell about some people and Savage seems like a dick. Kind of like the Pfeiffer loser that Obama trotted out last Sunday to demand Republicans apologize to Susan Rice.
I tried listening to Savage but never could warm up to him.
Time and again he would be talking about some issue or another and all of a sudden pop off with some comment about how he made some point first and now the other guys were ripping him off. I would be thinking, “Where did that come from? What does that have to do with the subject?”
I would listen to these other people and they would never mention him, even in passing. I would go back to savage and eventually he would do it again. He seemed to have some kind persecution complex regarding certain other conservative talk personalities. Finally, I just stopped listening to him. He was just too odd for me.
You got that right. You could not melt me and pour me on Levin.
Some of my lib buddies completely hate him and discount what he says but they always find an excuse when I say “oh yeah, call you Levin and tell him that mano-a-mano.”
I listen to Savage only when Facebook does not quench my curiosity about what other people ate for dinner
Yeah, Savage is pushy annoying.
Mark said a bit more than what is shown in this transcript. I can’t remember all of it, but one of the missing things he said was right after the part about having never seen the Weiner Nation at a Tea Party Rally. He mentioned something about how others, (presumably Rush and Sean), had donated so much to veterans, charities and conservative causes. He said the only thing he’d ever heard about Weiner doing was to set up his own legal defense fund on-line and to solicit his audience to donate their money to HIM. Good point, I thought.
The same with me. When i first heard him i liked him but then i tired of him and his rudeness to every guest and caller.
I don’t mean to hijack, but Levin also blasted the impotent congress.
Mark is hands down the best of the best when it comes to radio, patriotism and being American.
He is better than Hannity, the water boy. He is better than Rush, who more often than not doesn’t really say anything at all. He is better than Glenn, who gets into endless silliness to often, but does provide good information at times.
He is better than Savage, who I have not been able to listen to for years. He is utterly schizophrenic, and so help me God, I do not want to ever talk about food unless it’s the dinner going into my mouth at dinner time.
I do not know what I’d do without Mark. God bless him!
I like Savage. I think he’s more conservative and willing to go places most of the others don’t dare for reasons we can only speculate. As far as being pushy - He’s passionate and so am I. If one wants that cool, calm and dispassionate pseudo-objective demeanor go to NPR.
He isn’t rude to every guest and caller. He’s only rude to the stupid ones, and there’s a lot of them.
I get annoyed with Wiener when people ask him how he’s doing, he is a jerk about it.
I don’t know why these guys waste time attacking each other.
Levin is the better of the two: smarter, well spoken, and more knowledgeable. He is more likable. Also, his accent is better. When I listen to Savage, I begin to worry that I might pick up his extremely trashy NY accent. Of course, he is entitled to his own accent; it’s just that it is not for me.
But they should both talk about what they know, and leave each other alone.
I remember when someone called in to Savage and called him a great American. He went BALLISTIC “That’s what they call that groucho Marx lawyer on the other station, never call me again!”
