Hanraty is just a goofball to me, not serious or seminal at all. But Savage is the only one I look forward to hearing. Savage just delivers stunning off-the-cuff commentary day after day--and he is so damned entertaining!

Notice that people who attack him here on FR don't get beyond irrelevancies such as his real name (Weiner, they say "Wiener" to deride him childishly), his supposed low ratings and low book sales, and his "abusiveness" (which I have never observed as being undeserved when callers are Muslims or anti-Semetic scum). There never seems to be substantive, factual criticism of this guy.

Sorry, Montag, but calling Hannity "hanraty" sort of makes your next point moot, eh? Perhaps Savage is just plain obnoxious. When you call someone a pig, such as I've heard him on numerous occasions, whether deserved or not, that's not exactly civil discourse and certainly not a way to win someone over to your side. I could care less about his real name. He's just obnoxious and yells at his callers frequently. I call it trashmouth talk radio. He calls a colleague/competitor Hush Bimbo? Come on. He's engaging in exactly what you said FR does.

If you think Savage is some sort of saviour, that's your opinion. Lots of others just think he's rude and irritating.

tenger

orry, Montag, but calling Hannity "hanraty" sort of makes your next point moot, eh?

No tenger, Sean Hannity cannot be considered along with serious talk radio hosts. He is a joke next to any of Rush, Savage, Levin, Ingraham et al. Next...

I am not interested in "new tone" talkradio. Sorry. Callers who are scum get blasted. Rush's calm discussions with well-meaning liberals are all well and good, but some idiots, America-haters and anti-Semites just need to be spanked and yanked, as Bob Grant did famously for decades. Savage does only that. He treats most callers with great respect, and lets them drive the direction of his show like no other host does. It is by far the most democratic show I have ever heard.
