To those that don't know Savage or listen to him, he claims to be an "independent conservative"... He surely does espouse some conservative views, but the vile he spews towards Bush, his cabinet, and other Republicans and GOPers could be mistaken for Air America trash.
It would be easy to blow him off as another looney blow-hard, but he's the 3rd most listened-to talk show host in the nation... He has over 8 million listeners, and in calling himself a conservative, he DOES have some real influence there. He's supposed to be on our side, but shifts positions so often, he's become a joke. He embodies every lefty criticism of our side.
In listening to parts of his show last night, he has the following things to say, in a short time span...
* Syria isn't nearly as bad as Iran, they can be spoken to, they don't threaten Israel, they are nationalists not fundamentalists
* The war was started to benefit Oil companies.
* Blasted Bush to no end, said Rice should have been fired a long time ago, blasted the rest of the cabinet
* Said it was OK for Pelosi to go talk to Syria
* Asked why is there a division between GOP and Dems, why do we automatically assume everything they do should be hated, etc.
In my view, this scum is far more dangerous than Air America and nearly every lib out there. He's pretending to be a conservative, yet does more damage to our causes than any other non-politician I can think of, because he has the influence to sway people.
This guy is an utter disgrace and a phony.
Excellent. I think you're on to something... like Archie Bunker was Hollywood's depiction of a "regular Joe." Gotcha.
Or we could go all texty on him, and pronounce him Teh Vile.
While the critique of Savage is deserved, your statement that Savage fans and Hunter supporters are identical is extremely simplistic “thinking.”
Duncan Hunter is a gentlemanly conservative, a bona fide Vietnam veteran, a long-time Congressional representative of his constituency, a fighter for fairness in immigration and border security, and a staunch supporter of the WOT.
Duncan Hunter is as humble as Savage is arrogant. They are opposites.
The only analogy I was trying to make it this... Hunter has NO shot at Pres or VP, yet many FReepers stick to him as an alternative to the others. Savage is the same way, a voice for the most extreme conservative (and in his case, looney) views. That’s it.
I have NOTHING but awesome things to say about Hunter as a person
"I don't know why I do this!!!" . . .
"Is anyone listening OUT THERE!!!!!" . . .
"I should quit and go sailing.
Did you all HEAR THAT!!!!!
The important thing about Hunter’s and possibly Newt’s vying for the nomination will be the issues and POV they bring to the debates. I hear that the first debate is coming up in May, don’t know who are the players are yet....
However, I don’t think Giuliani will end up the Republican nominee either...
If not Thompson, I could live with Romney. McCain and Rudy are acceptable over any Dems, but that’s about it.
There you have it, another fratricidal Conservative more focused on destroying us within, at the benefit of the democRAT party, and the Jihadist abroad.
This is why I call the Wiener thread a "Troll" thread because most of what they do is attack Limbaugh, GOP, and Dubya.
“Patriot in the vein of Patrick Henry is more his stripe!”
No, Patrick Henry was a Freemason. Freemasons take an oath not to permit a libertines, madmen, or fools join their ranks, so Weiner could never be a Freemason.
Good news is that Mark Levin is now in his same time slot. Unfortunately, the power on 640am cuts back after sundown, so I can't hear his whole show.
I like Mark Levin too. He’s much smarter and solid as a rock.
Hey, you changed your tag-line for the occasion! Sweet!
Try distinguishing politics from ideology. While they are tied together, they are also exclusive.
When you are preceived to only attack the party that harbors Conservatives, you are helping the other side. I gave up on expecting ideological purity long ago, but continue to strive for it.
When you lay down with dogs, you get fleas, and you guys are laying down with the Wiener dog.
How else could you survive making a living off of Talk Radio while living in San Francisco?
Surprise, surprise!!!
A Wiener fan completely void of reality? Say it ain't so!
Let me enlighten you...
