I follow no talk show host.
Well goody goody for you.
Like? What's 'like' have to do with it? It's not personal it's business. The guy is a fool and so are those that are duped by him.
As an old doggie veteran of Truman's miserable Army in Korea, I would much prefer to be in Bush's well trained and equipped Army than in Patton's egg shell tanks.
According to the show, the Stuarts were actually better than the French tanks they faced. Doesn’t say much for the French ones!
Michael savage is a prime factor in the vote turn out last november. He railed against the republicans, against bush and said it was better to have a democrat congress than a weak republican one. He is the reason we have a trillion dollars unaccounted for by the secy of the Treasury.
Because they don't have the same ammount of funding as the prohibition created drug cartels.
How many more decades before they BUY US?
My mom listens to him, and I hear him occasionally. I like him on the social issues of abortion and the traditional family. My mom said that when Obama allowed embryonic stem cell research, he spent three or four nights talking about that. She listens to the other talk shows, and she said none of them spent much time on it.
*What’s he suppose to do, parachute into Iran?*
since I didn’t ask for any talk radio program people or have I ever asked them to parachute into Iran, this
is typical of the over the top deranged views.
Conservatives here in Calif. don’t support liberal democrat Jerry Brown as Savage does.
Savage has spoken out against the Islamofascist enemy with enough force to attract the enemy's attention and threats. What's left for him to do?
RE: My "over the top deranged views."
Pretty good contumely. Nice!
The main problem with Savage is that while he is, for the most, part very good and analytical, he can’t keep his inferiority complex under control; a trait shared by our so-called president 0bama.
I agree that there is definitely a problem. It's surfaced since "going national."
I've listened almost since day one.. nearly fifteen years.
It's been just in the last few years that I've concluded that, well, as long as the good outweighs the bad I'll keep listening.
Those incessant -- and IMO schoolboy -- attacks on conservative competitors have me near the tipping point. I swear I heard him say that his own family asks him to knock it off. But the guy just can't help it. I guess.
(I do not know what happens "inside baseball" but on the air Savage started the name calling.)
Part could well be as you said, inferiority complex. Certainly he's shown sensitivity over the years -- but he did catch hell day one from some KGO liberals; and it has been a battle against S.F. liberals ever since.
.. and the missing days (and third hours) are adding up. If he has health issues he should retire. He's done his calling; to wit, demonstrated that giving hell back to the liberals is a winner. Conservatives don't have to cower and apologize when liberals scream "Racist!" "Bigot!" -- something they've gotten away with for decades.
You lost me. I’ve never heard Savage call for disarming the public. His rant about the police being handcuffing is mainly about the rules set down by the libs and enforced by the media, much like the rules of combat which gives the other side the advantage. When, do you claim, did Savage call for disarming the public?

You are absolutely correct -- we can add the Navy's "floating brothels" to that. The criticism is of rules set down by the libs and their tolerance of the shenanigans not line personnel.
Obviously one cannot tune in a broadcast or two and get a clear picture of the host. That is especially true of Savage. He can be outrageous for effect or humor.
I remember when Rush Limbaugh started his career (talk show version) in Sacramento. I wondered who is this nut the first time or two. It was later stated by Limbaugh and others that you had to listen regularly for at least two weeks to understand. True.
When Limbaugh left for New York years later many of us thought that the rest of the nation would not understand (like we did) and he'd fail.
That's not much to hang the subsequent verbiage on. Lacking any further quotes of substance, I have to wonder whether Michael was referring to the fact that many/most cops ARE outgunned by the fact that they're not allowed to carry adequate firepower. The solution isn't to disarm the populace, it's to put an M16 in every cop car (and, btw, let upstanding citizens do the same).
