I agree and it appears they ran him off the air because of a fake caller. He signaled to cut his mike and his own mike. Because he did not cut his mike and Savage thought he was off the air he made comments that the station did not like. Those that do not like Savage are Kool-Aid drinkin Rush Bores and do nothing but agree with everything the boring Rush Bore has to say. Savage is not afraid to speak his mind and what is on the mind of 1 million others that listen to him. His radio show lives on and there in NOTHING MSNBC might I add the "fledging" MSNBC can do about it.

This is why our country is going to hell and a hand basket when GLAAD gets a voice in this matter. WHY ARE 10% OF SICKOS GETTING THE VOICE IN THIS COUNTRY!!!?????? Savage put it exactly right and made those comments as he thought his mike was cut because the sicko was making comments off the air to him insulting him. GOOD FOR SAVAGE!!! GET THE GAYS OUT OF SOCIETY!!!

"I am glad Mark will get the slot. Michael may have a PhD, but he hasn't got a clue about radio."

OH NO??

Tell that to the Arbitron ratings and the millions who listen to his show.. I dont think Mark could hold a jock strap to Savage.

Rush is a BORE!!! He is a Kool-Aid drinking Republica, Tows the party line and ANYTHING that is wrong that Bush does he will twist it to make it look like it is not the case. Try pointing out the ABYSMAL border situation we have and see how he will twist it right up. Rush was good then but he is not a truth talker like Savage.

The gay rights movement has become a real force to be reckoned with..so much for them wanting to be treated like everyone else...guess Mike Savage doesn't have rights.

You weren't listening to him this morning, socking it to the Bush WH for stealing Demo issues and pretending it isn't Clintonesque triangulation.

That's gay buttskrieg.

Disney must be a real fairy land.

25 years ago I left luxury hotel management (Fairmont) because of the relentless homo tsunami. One could not deal with anyone, on staff or guest, without some sexual overtone as bath house love was spreading like fire.

Being totally hetero, I enjoyed the beautiful women who were also sick of the swishers and high risk AC/DC blight.

I suppose that most of that generation is now dead, of aids.

Think the "gay" agenda will mellow when their "civil" rights to public health risk sex are erected as law?

In my experience, homos enjoy being in your face. That alone is a queer personality trait.

I love it...Buttskrieg.. Thats what it is though...rolling through our laws faster than Hitler rolled through the Ukraine. We're supposed to bend over(so to speak) and take it. The fruits will never be happy and relax.

Depending on the time of day, you might! WABC comes loud and clear into Wisconsin after about 10pm.

I used to work on merchant freighters and sometimes one could get the powerful NYC radio stations 2/3rds of the way across the Atlantic.

Disney/ABC execs ordered the cancellation of Savage's high-rated WABC show

So what else is new: Disney has gone queer a long time ago.

You mean I haved to listen to Mark Levine every night instead of Savage? How terrible. < /sarcasm > Savage sucks, and I can't believe WABC was going to increase his air time. I bet his ratings for the NYC Metro area are no higher than Levine or Malzberg & Bey (who Savage replaced), although his ad revenues were probably higher because of the syndication factor.

Levine = Levin (Sorry Mark, I just got off the phone with a "Mark Levine" and I obviously failed at the transition from the real world back to Freeperland.)

it has been 2 years, 3 #1 best sellers, and one new dog since this thread has had a response.

to all those who criticized M. Savage...well
Randy Rodes of Air America has called for a Presidential assassination twice, and called on every able-bodied person in the gulf state to go looting.
This violates FCC regulations and she should be fired
have her license permanently revoked
and pay a hefty fine...becuz she's a Democrat hack nothing serious will happen to her. soooo Exactly when was Savage ever irresponsible with the license granted to him by the FCC? When did the Republican party pay for air time for the Savage Nation? Rating wise Air America would have been canned months ago?

to all those who find M. Savage mentally stimulating...
he will fairly debate anyone but not with fools...
he will tell it like it is, and not what sells...
he will critically think out loud those things that we tend to overlook, ignore, pretend not to exist at all...

for the most part I tune into Savage Nation every chance I can...
Meanwhile Jessie Jackson is calling on the government and the media to rename hurricane's refugees something else(as if this will solve anything)I like people like Drudge, Nory, Savage; because they try to assess the now and the future...i want to listen to voices of reasons... seasoned with clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, and peppered with depth, breadth, logic, significance, and fairness. But people like Jessie Jackson will say anything to get what they want.

Savage is right about many things...some people automatically reject it, they hate this or that about Savage when in fact its something deep in their own beyond conscience that they hate. You can tell in a flash how many posters on this forum, as well as others world wide; actually take the time to analyze the logic of the articles and the information they absorb. well i will admit i am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but i thank God in Heaven that there is still a forum where we all can meet and iron out what is and isn't reality. but remember this warning: When talk radio is gone then the blogs will be next to go. one thing Savage was right about, our government is not ready for the tough times ahead. so get ready guys.
