Michael Savage: The Enemy Within (One of The Biggest Threats to Conservatives)
Self | 4/4/07 | Self

Posted on 04/04/2007 5:58:38 AM PDT by NYC Republican

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.

“Psalm 118:22

Has become the chief corner stone.” NASB”

So Wiener thinks he’s the messiah? Explains a lot.

Hey NYCR, have you considered inviting the Weinerites onto this thread? Maybe they’ll bring their cool graphics and critical-thinking skills. ;)

Consider it done! Glad to know you lurk on the Savage thread, however it's not really nice to bash us without pinging us. :-o

To be fair, I pinged TARK... I don’t have access to a Savage ping list.

Asked why is there a division between GOP and Dems, why do we automatically assume everything they do should be hated, etc.

I can see why Savage would have ticked off strong conservatives yesterday because he appeared to me to be on a bender. As to what prompted that, it's unimportant. He clearly had a bug up his arse yesterday and was being deliberately provocative - he knows that hostile callers give him a better opportunity to indulge in his 'act,' and it makes for great radio.

I will say that basically, Savage's position boils down to two things: 1. wait and see how the Pelosi trip turns out, and don't impute all sorts of bad things to her until we get a more full report, and 2. don't dismiss ideas simply because they come from a dem or a lib. He is right on both counts, though I think he is more right on the latter - liberals can come up with good ideas now and then, and denying them isn't productive at all/

A person who thinks in 1-D doesn't take to this message very well. A person who thinks in 3-D knows it's the best way to approach life.

Really?

You think THAT many people even have access to his show, let alone listen?

How many stations carry his show, how many markets?

Limbaugh is still on 500 stations (I guess) and still probably claims to have an audience of 20 million?

It could be argued that he is far more influential than savage...... yet your position is that savage trew the election to the democrats?

I disagree with you Hitman. He knows Pelosi did it just to undermine Bush. Did you support Jessie Jackson's trip to the mid-east to free the hostages? Sure, the outcome was ok, but it's a solid case of winning a battle and weakening our position on the war...

Anything that undermines Bush becomes a talking point for this psycho.

Limbaugh appeals to conservatives, that’s his base. Savage claims to be a conservative, yet spews far more venom and bile towards conservatives and GOPers than he does at anyone else. There’s a huge difference there. Especially in a very divided nation.

Savage is number 3 overall and not gonna get any higher. I don't think he envies Rush, et. al., as much as he wants to be the leader of the "independent" talkers.

I agree, he wants to be the radio voice of 'independent' conservatives, rather than party line conservatives, which necessitates him going off the reservation now and then.

Savage can call himself whatever he wants. I just call him a nut.

Going off the reservation??? Man, that’s funny. He’s all over the map, many of the things he espouses aren’t remotely conservative.

Actually, I have to give Tarkus credit here, he’s a HUGE supporter (usually starts the daily threads), and HE was blasting Savage for the Pelosi/Syria position. Of course, he got shouted down by the cult-like following. Kudos to him on this one.

You're so typical of the run of the mill Savage-hater, distorting the facts to try to make a point.

Glad I'm here to clarify things to others who weren't there. Actually it was Tark who was doing most of the shouting, no one shouted back at him UNTIL he started tossing personal verbal grenades at some of us who didn't sahre his outrage.

And even then it was only ONE poster who shouted back at him for his personal attack, certainly it had nothing to do with Tark's disagreement with Savage as you so inaccurately claim here, and there was no "cult-like" response from any of the Savage thread regulars shouting at Tark, for that matter I was the only one on the thread who agreed with Savage. So now you can apologize to us for putting out misinformation yet again.

Hey, you changed your tag-line for the occasion! Sweet!

Don't flatter yourself, NYC Republican. That's been his tagline for some time.

Misinformation? Anyone that wants to see what happened can view yesterday’s Savage thread on their own, and decide for themselves who’s right. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1811457/posts
