Well. This is interesting. Over at Talkers.com (here) and Mediaite (here) Michael Savage is at it again. Saying, among other things, that he has “stomped” Sean Hannity in the ratings. But the Talkers story is particularly instructive since Talkers is devoted to the business of talk radio. In fact, the publication makes a point of saying that as a rule of thumb, precisely since it is devoted to promoting the institution of talk radio, it doesn’t like to get into what Talkers calls “personal vendettas” between hosts. So it is striking that this story appears at all — and obvious as to why it does. Writes Talkers:

While occasionally having the guts to say what most on radio refuse to, Savage is no conservative. One cannot donate ones cash to Jerry Brown and keep his VRWC card. Period. (A real one, not an Obama one.)
Besides, he’s an idiot.
Yeah he’s over the top. Same with that strange fellow called Medved (who I haven’t listed to in years).
It’s Limbaugh, Levin for me.
He goes on and on about being back-stabbed and mistreated by his Berkeley professors and former employers.
That’s EXACTLY the same treatment he meets out to his co-workers and subordinates.
At KSFO in San Francisco before he was syndicated his wife subbed as engineer/producer sometimes and he had NO PROBLEM publically tongue-lashing her, and on a pretty regular basis, too.
He’s a wind-addled manic-depressive and the BIGGEST hypocrite in the world.
He doesn’t deserve his great family, and he lucked-out with his story-telling skills.
He’s a scum-bag.
Every time I listen to savage he is talking about a restaurant he went to
WINE-addled.
I used to listen to Savage a lot on lunch break (only thing available at the time) so I have a good handle on him and what he’s about. He is what he is IMO. A con artist. But most are.
I like Rush though I don’t always agree with him. Mostly I do but when he said after the last GOP slaughter he had been carrying their water, I went forward as a listener believing him when he claims to be an entertainer.
Are you by any chance the poster with whom I exchanged some “mail” regarding Michael Weiner’s personality quirks?
If not I must offer that ..I once did some small business with him when he was Michael Weiner...and you nailed his game to the wall
Yep, it's the only two I can stand.
And both are genius.
Your memory is sharp —yes, that was me.
Though I was utterly sincere, I was sad to type it because at some time long ago I was a very fanatical listener of his.
I have not listened in many years.
The sides of his that are good are truly great, but his bad sides are utterly terrible, and loyalty and gratitude are things I’m very fussy about.
Mike has betrayed almost every person he has worked closely with, and often quite needlessly.
I believe Mike will continue to make a good living, and because his family will benefit I’m happy.
Savage is full of it most days (...himself...)
1. Zimmerman's Kel-Tec was double-action only. It had no safety.
2. A semiautomatic pistol with an empty chamber is useless in self-defense situations like the one Zimmerman was in.
The whole point of a double-action only pistol is you can safely leave one in the chamber, ready to fire if you pull the trigger.
I don't care about a restaurant Savage went to. I want to know what Conservatives are doing to defeat Liberalism.
I like Savage 10 times more than I ever liked Hannity. However, he talks about himself so much and what he eats, it is tough to stay tuned. Last night he played a 10 minute long recording of him talking to his mother over a decade ago. He is also extremely jealous of Hannity.
I didn’t like Hannity, because he often seemed ill-prepared for the show. He seemed to just listen to Rush, jot down some notes, and start his show. He also decided to change his stance on amnesty. He announced that the day after the 2012 election.
Medved is so over the top anti-conservative, anti-tea party, anti-Palin, anti-Cruz, that he is almost becoming entertaining again.
He is one vicious chick against the Reagan/Palin wing of the GOP.
You will never hear a liberal attack Michael Savage. Why? He makes conservatives look very bad.
Savage = verbal diarrhea. In great quantities.
It has always been very obvious to me that savage is a far left liberal posing as a “conservative”, he was planted on talk radio by the liberal media establishment solely to make conservatism look bad.
ping-a-ling!
I have no use for Savage. Hannity is a decent guy, I believe, but I can’t listen to him. The repetition drives me insane.
I prefer Levin....Rush is good, too.
I probably enjoy listening to Laura Ingram as much or more than any of them. Except perhaps Rush.
