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.
So typical of an Anti-Savage bushbot, Lormand! ; )
How many Star Wars photos should I bombard you with for your penance?! LOL!
This is a CONSERVATIVE site, and a great majority of those that post do not like a supposedly conservative talk show host. You don't see this kind of hate for anyone else...
Surely you can't deny this.
Freemasons don’t reject Jesus. That is a rumor started with no less a slander than the “Protocols of the Elder of Zion,” and repeated by the ignorant.
But I forgot, you’re a Wiender fan, so nevermind. Believe that all you want.
I don't recall him turning against Israel. He did have the clarity to recognize that they were acting inept and getting their butts kicked. That's not 'turning against' anybody - it's just calling things like they are.
I am a supporter of Israel but have noted many times on FR that it's not 1972 and that Israel has its problems with liberals and liberal/leftist thinking within their own borders. I said for a long while they had been relying on luck and reputation for their image as butt kickers in the region. That long month where they seemed to have no grasp as to what to do was evidence that showed I was more right than wrong. They got their butts kicked and the only ones surprised were those who had not been paying attention - in other words, some folks in conservative ranks who prefer fantasy to reality. That doesn't make me anti-Israel by any stretch. It doesn't make Savage anti-Israel either.
Yes, sadly it is
I only like the Star Wars picks of good looking babes, even the fine looking aliens :)
No need to demolish anything. I’ve actually provided the link to yesterday’s thread, and you can see what was being discussed on the show.
That wouldn't be penance! LOL!
That's because you didn't hear the Cindy Sheehan like segment he did on the IDF bombing of Hizbollah targets in Lebanon.
I must admit you have got a lot of nerve risking exposing yourself as a smear agent of the worst order.
Maybe you should go back over the Savage thread yourself and post it here the ACTUAL number of cult-like posters you claim to have shouted down Tark for his comments against Savage. You won't come up with one that fits your wayward claim.
I would almost believe that you are actually a pro-Savage mole. You advertise him better than any of us actual 'fans' could ever do.
I listen to Levin regularly now while I prepare dinner (he comes on 6pm-8pm PST here in Las Vegas). I used to really dislike him mostly on style - I found his voice grating and his sense of humor very deficient.
When I gave him a chance he grew on me and I like him now and enjoy his show. That being said, when he shills for 'my president' in that shrill voice of his, it's just impossible to take seriously. That's rare though. Levin is a good host!
Bingo! He is all knee jerk with little examination of the issues. I think he is doing his talk show on the cheap with very little scholarship in the deeper facts. He gives a bad name to conservatives who have a deeper understanding of the issues than Savage. Savage will not give enough detail to support his argument so that the misinformed can be convinced about the truth.
For that, you should refrain from posting a pic on 3 consecutive posts.
Oh wait, you just did that on this here thread!
Congratulation, and apology accepted :)
You are taking my stuff out of context, I’m not doing the mis-information... I never said the responses themselves were cult-like. I said the folks there were cult-like, moving every which way the wind blows with Savage’s views... Even when he’s whacky and off the wall, the cult there thinks he’s “just expressing his independence”...
Freemasons don’t reject Jesus. Tell us another one.
The one thing I disagreed with most about Savage’s show yesterday was that he imputed some great courage on the part of Pelosi for visiting the mosque and making the sign of the cross. Honestly, I didn’t think it was particularly courageous on her part in any way, and much more likely the result of inattentiveness and auto-response on her part.
Indeed, Savage insisting on keeping an open mind is wise, but he isn’t open of mind on her sign of the cross - he has decided it was a great act of courage. I think she just didn’t really think about what she was doing. Colloquially, we might even call her a ‘moron.’ ;-)
Savage is basically a conservative with a strong populist streak. Honestly, lots of folks are like that - somebody should speak for them.
Re-read the string of conversation between NY Republican and I about your tagline. He thought you came up with your most recent tagline just for this thread. I pointed out that it's not new that you've used it before and you'll use it again and that you recycle taglines.
Now that we got that straight! : )
For that, you should refrain from posting a pic on 3 consecutive posts.
C'mon! Don't be such a downer! A thread isn't interesting without a picture of two. LOL!
Accolades will get you nowhere Lormand the same way Bush's cozying up to Dem-RATS continues to get him nowhere with them.
Let's see the minimum wage, donations to Brown, support for the Pelosi visit, how much more RAT water do you think it will take for them to finally jump the Savage ship? I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you Lormand, especially if you are the one underwater. :-)
