To clarify again on the figurative language used by Savage. Savage always and consistently used figures of speech equivalent to what he said the other day.
Maybe not a "death threat" technically. Wow, you really got me there. I clearly was wrong; Savage was only joking with the man! Next time I have a disagreement with someone, I'll just say, "You should get AIDS and die, you pig", and we'll all just have a big laugh over it. < /sarcasm >
Go ahead and listen to your idol Savage. I'm guessing you're the type of person that doesn't see anything wrong with wishing someone would contract a horrible disease in any circumstance; you two make a perfect couple.
I'm really just posting my thoughts on Savage in the hopes that the more rational FReepers and the lurkers out there can see he's really not worth the time, unless you want to spend the rest of your life simply filled with hate. And by the way, if you want to have a "leg to stand on" to criticise the liberal comments as documented in bmwcyle's post #26 of this thread, you have to be consistent and criticise when some hothead does the same thing on the "right" side.
Maybe you're comfortable with being so hypocritical, but I'm not.
