"Savage's rants are FAR from hilarious. Pathetic is more like it. And I've been listening to Rush from day one. He was NEVER an embarrassment like Savage is. Not even close."

I agree 100%! Savage is, however entertaining... If you want to listen to someone who's mildly amusing, he's fine- he'll crack you up, but he's way too over-the-top for my liking.

Rush... very few can be compared to him. He's awesome, although I cringe every time he uses the phrase "on loan from God". What does that mean???

[Crowcreek]

I see you've listened to the show for two minutes. Have you ever heard Savage debate an intelligent person? There's nothing he enjoys more. Why don't you call him and debate him sometime.

Savage won't tolerate the riff-raff of radio callers. Why should he? To make you f e e l better while a million listeners change the channel ?

and your the Freepers ashley banfield. micheal savage may be crass but he's more pro american than you or your slut friend ashley bannedfromthefield will ever have . banfield is an anti-semetic, pro-arab, bush hater. go back to your dolls

[gdc61]

and both are closer to the truth than any 1000 left wing liberal hacks you know or wish you knew.

[Crowcreek]

Yes, and just for the record -- Any reporter who is indifferent about American casualties for the sake of 'objectivity' had better stay the he!! out of the woods during varmint season . . .

[Crowcreek]

I thought it meant he was born with all the intelligence he needs to shoot off his mouth, and only needs a high school diploma to relate to his listeners!

I saw the real Ashleigh on 9/11, reporting on the street in New York. Now granted it was a scary scene. Ashleigh was interviewing a lady when one of the towers fell and that big cloud of white dust came rolling right toward her. Well Banfield nearly trampled the poor woman trying to get herself to safety. It was just like "I'm going to save myself, and the hell with you lady!"

[gdc61]

bingo , they bash savage yet produce no facts to support there rant. closet libs make me spew.

[gdc61]

try big bar-be-a-liberal, or is a barbee like a bar fly? only with poison in you a$$? go back to DU and cry on your big plate of crow.

[Born Conservative]

I'm with you; his presentation is very difficult to listen to, but you can't beat his analysis.

[kegler4]

"He's has at least one master's degree from what I recall, so that exempts him from the moron category."

So let's see, this means all the liberals who have master's degrees or Ph.D.s are also exempt from the moron category, including all those leftie professors at the nation's universities? Is that right? I guess that means Hillary is OK? How about Bill?

Savage might be mildly entertaining on occasion and he might not be a moron, but he is most definitely a complete embarrassment. The man is a self-serving opportunist who saw a chance to make money and took it. He should go back to selling naturals medicine.

[AmericanInTokyo]

If I am not mistaken, that dippy broad isn't even an AMERICAN CITIZEN.

I just hope she doesn't come back to do local Dallas news.

GET A LIFE!

[Steel Wolf]

I don't see what the big deal is with Savage. Sure, he's quite often over the top, but he's all kinds of entertaining. I'm not going to say that he should be point man for leading the nation's conservative debate. I do think that having him around to angrily and passionately attack underhanded liberalism is very amusing.

Beyond a certain point, the liberal point of view is just so unreasonable that it needs someone to leap up with a bullhorn and scream at them, if nothing else than for our own satisfaction.

[gdc61]

you are the uninformed one here, savage rants about liberals and apologists like you. he has no time for unintellegent bigots like youself. EVERY time he interveiws an intelligent lib, (not very often,not very many) he, without theatrics, destroys them and their positions. you should listen to more the banfields opinion of him. i know it must be hard for a commie/liberal like yourself to listen to savage for more that 20seconds.

[NYC Republican]

Thanks for the explanation. It doesn't come across that way to me, and I'm sure, from others.

He's awesome regardless...
