Savage may have been right when he labled liberalism as a mental disease, but he totally went over to the dark side on this issue!

[wardaddy]

cause we're angry and he's angry

sort of a Thomas Paine pamphleteer with a microphone

a firebrand but not a serious ideologue

[mountainlion]

Why did so many conservatives vote for Boama??

In the words of the immortal Barney Fife:
“He’s a nut”

I think the confusion is in the term ‘conservative’.

It was been adopted and altered by so many people, there is no set definition anymore.

To the headline: good question.

That is nonsense. If the government wants to take your rights away or imprison you for whatever reason, your owning an assault rifle is not going to stop it...
If the scenario you're postulating--a government wanting to take your rights away existed--what kind of subversive cheerleader or just plain coward wouldn't resist?

Emotions, Savage is a male version of the angry feminist type, he vents and his followers get an emotional release.

Feelings matter (more to some than others), Michael Savage emotes and the audience finds release.

Because he isn’t a lap-dog; doesn’t tow the line for the republican party. An independent conservative who’ll speak his mind.

Why are so many 'conservatives' following Michael Savage?

You won't find me following him.

[Califreak]

I find comfort in knowing I’m not the only one who’s spitting mad about it all.

[Wissa]

He's loud, he's abrasive, ...

The writer of this article views this as a negative. Savage's fans view it as a positive.

I find myself nodding my head when I listen to Savage, then he stops my nodding with some boneheaded statement or another.

Hi attacks on the other conservative hosts is unwarranted, and openly self-serving, and seemingly based on jealousy. I’d rather our local station carried Mark Levin in that time slot.

I guess I don’t know any conservatives who listen to Savage. I did once and lasted for about two weeks. I’m not very bright so it took that long to realize that Savage is neither liberal nor conservative. He just sounds like a nut.

Michael Weiner (a.k.a. Michael Savage) is a radical leftist on many issues — and has nanny-state expectations one would expect to find from someone who has lived in big cities all his life.

[fishtank]

Savage often lets his emotions get in the way of his thinking.

He lets his thoughts out.

He’s angry about where our nation is headed, and he sometimes makes mistakes in what he says.

He is not a carefully nuanced perfumed handkerchief, and I expect that he’ll come back on this issue and say the right thing in the end.

They aren't out gunned they're not too bright to rush headlong into the jaws of a deadly trap. They need to rethink their approach. Wait the perp out, fall back and out think a thug shouldn't bee too difficult. Instead they barge into a deadly trap trying to be Hollywood style “heroes”

I used to listen to Michael Savage on a local radio station
and found him abrasive and obnoxious.

His vocal talents trended toward the Berserkers
As likely to harm friend and foe

His “show” was deleted from the station ~2 years ago
I've not missed it

[texican01]

I have listened to him on the drive home for the last 5-6 years.

Micheal Savage is not your typical talk show wussie pussie. He actually believes what he rants about.

He has gotten to the core of more issues than any of his competitors. He calls a spade a spade and a queer a queer!— which is offensive to wussified phony “conservatives”
