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.
I'm not a big Savage fan. He is not my idol. He is not conservative. I don't agree with all his comments. In fact his comments are all over the board and contradict each other from day to day.
But I see you have devolved in to ad hominum -- and false one at that -- that Savage is "my idol".
Would you say "take a long walk on a short pier is a death threat?" Would it be worth being fired over?
This article pretty much proves the whole thing is a big nothing, distorted and taken out of context. The guy called with his harrassment, Savage figured it out, he then responded in kind with insults and asking if the caller has nothing better to do?
