NEW YORK - MSNBC on Monday fired Michael Savage for anti-gay comments.

The popular radio talk show host who did a weekend TV show for the cable channel referred to an unidentified caller to his show Saturday as a "sodomite" and said he should "get AIDS and die."

Savage would still be on if pmsnbc had better call screeners. From the start of the MS show, he had problems with PMSNBC’s staff it was obvious!
(RUSH’s screeners recognize "seminar callers", why didn't PMSNBC, hmmmm?)

I caught that waste of human tissue - KSFO Pete Wilson - do a twenty minute 'I hate you' tirade against a solid American like Michael Savage from 1906 hours through 1926 hours tonight. He and that Disney puppet KSFO crew aren't even good enough to lick the sweat off Michael's as.

Disney owns everything that talks at KSFO.

Nobody owns Savage.

This is why Disney dumped Savage - even though he was NUMBER ONE in his time slot - - with a national best seller under his arm!!!

Savage is a red-blooded American. Disney and those who march to it's beat are anti-American globalists. They are a Trojan Horse.

Wilson and the rest of the KSFO Disney blowhards can take their gutless anti-conservative anti-borders, language and culture programming and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, now and forever.

Don't loose sight of the fact that it was America that stepped up and paid hard-earned cash for Michael's book making it America's NUMBER ONE bestseller. We put our money where it counts, and what Michael is saying counts. He is reflective of REAL America. He is everything globalist anti-American multi-national corporations hate. He's one of us.

Screw Disney. Screw MSNBC. Screw the Republican Supreme Court. Screw the upside down backass ward PC propaganda crap the corporate media juggernauts are forcing America to hear and read. Screw anti-America Peter Jennings. Screw the two percent of America who want the rest of America to fall in line with their degenerate amoral anti-Christian anti-religion agenda.

Say it again, and again, and again Savage - until American gets it !!!!

Californians - Do you want to really piss-off the board rooms like PG&E that control government in California?????

Cultural Jihad,

What's "Preamble to the DOI", anyway?

[Robert Drobot]

Did you also know there's a movement to stop the distribution of the Bible. Guess why. Spell sinner (h-o-m-o-s-e-x-u-a-l). They're calling the Word of God 'hate material', because God forbids the practice of sodomy.

[Hinoki Cypress]

"Yes, get AIDS and die, sodomite filth. No sorrow. Good riddance, subhuman."

Upon reflection the morning after, I apologize for making such a stupid remark,the night before. It was uncalled for and I apologize to everyone on this thread.

You did not hear what was said to Mr Savage off the air. If you did, Then you would know why he said what he said.

You heard it? Does MSNBC have the right to fire him or not?

Too many people here don't understand what "free speech" means. I'm surprised by how many don't understand the issue.

[sakic]

Yes, get AIDS and die, sodomite filth. No sorrow. Good riddance, subhuman,

Is that you again Mr. Savage?

[newgeezer]

Shame what happened to Sea Silver. I'm really going to miss you asking me if I've had my Sea Silver today. Hope you had a large supply.

Oh, yeah! I'd forgotten about his being a snake oil salesman, and how his personal testimonials and endorsements are so convincing. Thanks for the reminder. ;O)

I'm happy to say the only time I heard his show in the past year or so was to catch 5 or 10 minutes of his live "town hall meeting" down the road in Iowa City regarding the coming Muslim youth camp. It seemed appropriate that the day he did his show here was also our hottest day of the season so far. (Hot air, windbag, etc., etc.) :-D

let me see if I understand this...Howard Stern==>ok Savage=BAD, what a bunch of moroons.

Not long ago on FR (where else?) I read a couple of articles about it. Can't remember if it was an article or a link. Bad memory. I'll try to find out. A good place to look would be www.abidingtruth.com, Scott Lively's website. Or www.defendthefamily.com. I was pretty amazed myself. Apparently the word can't be used in newspaper articles, on TV or radio etc. Have to use the word "gay".

And even weirder, the word "homosexual" was invented by a homosexual in the late 19th century to designate a "specialness" to those who commit sodomy. IOW, it was propaganda, the word "gay" for those times. On Lively's websiste there is the whole text of "The Pink Swastika" where in that information is contained (and lots more). Very interesting and well-documented read.

[newgeezer]

You're right. If Savage belongs on television, it should be late at night on an obscure, fringe cable network.

Sliwa makes Ron Kuby look brilliant.

Sliwa doesn't make Kuby look brilliant. He's brilliant on his own. Incredibly sharp wit, intelligent, insightful... Too bad he's a looney lib commie.

God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of gay sex activites there, but Christ came to forgive and save us. Christ dined with prostitutes and tax collectors. We are supposed to behave like Christ. No I don't approve of sodomy, but I am not supposed to publically condemn these people. (I have a gay nephew) I had a gay cousin who left his wife and kids, later died of AIDS.

[wasp69]

bump for later reading

Christ dined with prostitutes and tax collectors. We are supposed to behave like Christ.

Exactly. He told them they were sinners and should repent, but he never wished death upon them.

[Libertina]

You mean me telling you to scr#w yourself and calling you an ignorant moron is a sign that I'm wrong and can't properly debate you?
YES

[fishtank]

Fair enuff.

I don't agree that "Pal" needs to be the new Arab state. But overall, Savage has more clarity on Israel than the average radio talk show host.

I personally can't pretend to know what's best in Israel - I've never seen the lay of the land with my own eyes, but my limited knowledge would go for a complete expulsion of the non-compliant Arabs from at least Jerusalem, and possibly from J&S as well. If not from J&S, then build as big as wall as possible.
