America's most fiery conservative talk show host backing liberal Jerry Brown for California's attorney general?
Yes, it's true.
Michael Savage, the nation's third most listened-to radio host (and 4th most influential host according to NewsMax's Top 25 List), confirmed that he recently donated $5,600 -- the maxium allowable -- to Brown's campaign.
Brown won the Democratic Party nod and is facing Republican State Sen. Chuck Poochigian of Fresno, Calif.
"What can I say?," Savage told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?"
Republican Poochigian is currently a State Senator and former assemblyman who has served 12 years in Sacramento.
"You have to make choices in an imperfect world," Savage said. "And this, this Machugian guy (sic). I never heard of him. I don't even know who he is."
"Why bet on a horse that isn't going to win? Why throw your money into the garbage?"
Savage said he respects Brown's decision to start the Oakland military academy and his experience as a politician, regardless of his very liberal past.
Brown, who had the nickname "Governor Moonbeam," served as California's governor for two terms beginning in 1974. A former Democratic presidential candidate, he ran for mayor of Oakland, Calif. in 1998 and won.
"People change. He changed. He has experience," Savage told the Chronicle. . . . "He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs."
As for the conservative Poochigian's campaign, they are not so angry with the Savage defection, bragging that their candidate has the backing of Bo Derek.

Admit it, you love him because you love the satire.

What an idiotic comment. Brown couldn't serve as a dogcatcher.

He says he's an independent CONSERVATIVE. No conservative could that whack-job Brown in good conscience. So savage is either a fraud and a liar or a nut, or both.

Where's Savage getting this junk about Brown moving to the center? I mean, has he seen Jerry's ads? They run all the time down here in Southern California. This guy might...might...be less of a flake than he was in the Seventies. But less of a leftist? Ah, no. Anybody who thinks Jerry Brown has moved to the center simply isn't dealing with reality. And anybody who says he's a conservative and supports Jerry Brown over Chuck Poochigian has given me, and you, more than sufficient cause to doubt his good judgment, his honesty, or both.

I am with you but I stopped listening two years ago. I enjoyed Dr.Savage for several years as a local and then a national talk show host, but he has become bigger than anybody in his mind. I wouldn't listen to him if he paid me. This seals it! I was in Law Enforcement in California when Moonbeam was Governor and Savage should talk to some of the former state cops who protected Moonbeam. He wouldn't be on the would be AG's bandwagon.
To: pollyannaish
Nothing to admit - I have always been open about my appreciation for Savage. I love the satire. He is very funny and has a quick mind & wit. I love when he goes away from politics and discusses slice of life stuff. I also like it that his mind is at least open to the possibility of a GOPer sucking.
It's very entertaining radio!

Actions speak louder than words.
Regardless of what he said, M. Savage isn't sure he is going to win.

Congratulations!
I couldn't have said it better.

Savage is only in it for the money. If the Dims gain power he will start his move to the left (actually we now see that he already has). His is just an act or I suppose you could call him a fraud.
BTW what does his Revere Society actually do?

Like Savage, but he is bi-polar in his thinking. You think the way he feels about his puppy that he'd vote for a Poochigian any time! LOL
To: HitmanLV
LOL. I thought so. Hadn't followed your perspective closely. Just struck me that you would probably "get him" in the ironic sense, not as a fawning fan type.
I can take him in VERY small doses. Kind of like metal. A smidge here and there is fun, but a whole album and I might as well put a fork in my eye.
To: kellynla
I canceled my subscription to his radio show. A real fake!
Follow the money and it leads to ultra liberal Brown. And that is a guy claiming to support conservatives. Really.

Savage is one of those guys who can only be sane and reasonable in five-minute incriments.
At 5 minutes, one second, he flips out..
