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.
Weiner found a way to make lots of money. Pretend he’s a conservative and get a talk radio show. He should go back to swimming naked with gay poets. I use to listen to him, but his crying that nobody would invite him on their shows to promote his book made me sick.
BDS.
I happened to tune in while pulling weeds. Every now and then a person will reveal the real person behind the facade and yesterday Savage had his moment in the light. His anti-Bush, its a war for oil nonsense capped with a Pelosi love fest proved to me that his so-called conservatism is an act. I have always had my suspicions and now they have been confirmed. Michael Savage is the rightful heir of Air America. Drop the act, Mike, and just be yourself.
I’ve heard worse. Then again, I have a very thick skin: always have.
Well said -- accurate and succinct.
Syria is weak. hizbollah is almost entirely a proxy of Iran these days. Iran is the real danger. Also don’t dismiss the fact that Syria is ba’athist sunni regime. Given the way the middle east is beginning to draw battle lines between the sunnis and the shi’ites the syrians want nothing more than to get out of the shi’ite umbrella.
That’s why they’re making overtures at Israel(google their ongoing secret talks with israel) and the US. They want to sell out the shi’ites.
Rudy Judiani is an open borders liberal who supports the idea of sanctuary cities. No candidate with such a record can claim to be tough on terrorism because their policies facilitate attacks on American soil.
I could not believe that he was expressing support for Pelosi and disparaging her critics.
After that, I felt foolish for falling for his conservative persona, when he is really just a contrarian populist, much like OReilly.
Simple enough, change the station, and stop telling people what to do. You’re implying the rest of us are too stupid to form our own opinions. That’s a liberal tactic.
Are you a liberal?
I find Mike to be entertaining.
Does he affect everything I think, do, or say? No one does.
Pretty much the entire State Department needs a house cleaning.
If its on the “air” then its purely for entertainment. Good entertainment begats more entertainment. I mean did the Romans stop at just Gladiator sparring? No they got to the point of brutal savagery of hundreds or even thousands of people and animals slaughtered in the ring. It continued to get worse. Mike Weenie is the same way, he is just pushing the limit for entertainment’s sake.
By the way I usually have a good laugh while listening to the Weenie-man berate someone on my way home from work. His nasally new york accent is the topper. A nerd of the highest degree. To me he’s funny.
Can’t do that....part of the “New Tone”.....pretty much throw the spine away...
Not for fighting back per se, but for doing it indiscriminently. He supports Israel's right to defend herself and as it turned out, Israel actually ran out of steam and had to, basically, stop fighting.
Two bomb-throwing vanities in a week - I hope you feel you are getting the attention you know you deserve.
Of course, it applies both ways. If you don't like what he wrote, move on to another post and "stop telling people what to do."
