July 3, 2003 -- MICHAEL Savage has been permanently dropped from WABC' lineup following the collapse of West Coast contract talks that used the Bronx-raised blabber's beloved New York affiliation as leverage.

WABC (770 AM) abruptly yanked Savage off the air earlier this month in solidarity with its San Francisco sister station, KSFO, during noisy negotiations with Savage, who's based at KSFO but is syndicated by another company.

I've been boycotting Disney for many, many years. Have you ever read a book titled "Disney, The Mouse Betrayed" by Peter and Rochelle Schweizer? If you haven't, you should. Its an excellent expose of Disney.

Savage has replaced Hugh Hewitt for the 5pm hour on Hugh's homestation KRLA870 here in LA. He seems to be the stereotypical angry white male. I haven't been able to force my self to listen to him (after a couple of days). I just turn the radio off or if I am at home I listen on the internet to Hugh Hewitt on KCBQ (in San Diego. KRLA has a great line up Larson and Marino(Local Morning Guys)Prager, Medved and Hewitt, then this SCREAMER (Savage) comes on I really want to listen to reason and good humor. I can't imagine what Salem was thinking of when they put him on.

Savage said that we should NUKE 50 Chinese cities immediately

Actually, I posted a vanity freeper poll about what to do about the ep3. "Nuke them now" was the number one response.

What the "nuke 'em now" crowd seems to conveniently forget is that thanks to Bill Clinton, China has the capacity to take out every major U.S. city with hydrogen bombs. ...And we don't have (as of yet) a sophisticated enough ABM system to protect ourselves.

All of America is on the verge of being 'feminized', washed out, emasculated. No one is allowed to shout. The Bronx is far to strong a drink, even for the average Freeper. Bob Grant was more than most could enfure. Many here are too weak to...well, they are just too weak.

Excellent, my friend. You nailed that truth to the wall!

His listeners are mostly men: A little too frightening for the girls. Sort of like military service that involves combat. Don't want to break those nails or get that 'do all mussed up.

I listen to Savage and have tried to watch his show but rarely catch it. He can be over the top. Still, now and then he'll give you a gem, he knows his history and a lot of other interesting facts. I've heard Levin a couple of weeks ago when he was subbing for *Hannity* He was very good also.
And Hannity..well he's a living doll...what a good man...

That is not even vaguely close to anything that a reasonable man could imagine in his wildest dreams to be anything like even a far-stretched half-truth.

Come on, now.

Most people are such perfect cowards they start to feel ill when someone else shows backbone.

China has how many ICBMs, 20 to 30? How many major U.S. cities do you think we have? ....At the most 20, depending on one's perspective. They could take us out.

We should have nuked them 10 years before that.

We should've nuke them exactly 50 years ago during the Korean War, as McArthur suggested.

He spent thirty minutes haranguing people who exercise, who try to eat right, said it's just a way to "hold onto youth." I thought he was married, but some of the things he said last night indicated he has a major problem with women.

I have been listening to Dr. Savage for over 6 years and every comment you have posted about him is a bunch of cr*pola. Savage is the only one on the air that addresses the major problems in this country and he is trying to be silenced by the gay lobby much like Laura Schlesinger's TV show was. That man is much like my father who had no trouble with women (that is--not the dykee-feminist type!) Savage truly offends ALL the liberals and he hasn't backed down at all. Your colors are showing.

From your difinitive link (LOL!):

it seems inevitable that China (also called the PRC) will become the dominant power in the world within a few decades.

They undoubtedly intend that China will have military capabilities ...

The exact size and composition of its nuclear forces is very difficult to determine

Force structure estimates consequently are rather uncertain

published estimates are even a bit mysterious.

It is hard to assess the ultimate source or reliability of the data provided.

Overall, the yields since 1990 have suggested that two warheads have been in development: one in the 100-300 kt range, and one in the 600-700 kt range.

It is believed that...

China reportedly conducted a successful test ...

Allegations have circulated...

As far as can be determined from publicly available information, there appears to be no real evidence of China obtaining actual nuclear warhead designs from the U.S. At most the information seems to have been information about warhead design and technology, possibly quite sketchy, that would help guide Chinese research and development down the most productive tracks. Without detailed designs of warheads ("blueprints"), Chinese weapons would necessarily be based on indigenous designs even if they incorporated design features and concepts derived from U.S. systems.

China's nuclear delivery system program's have traditionally proceeded very slowly.


Yeah, man. What I learned from reading instead of scrolling down to the pictures is that YOU should have read before scrolling down to the pretty pictures of the scarry stuff. As I posted above; not even close to the truth. Thanks for making my point.

You have made "considering the source" far easier when I see one of your posts again.
