What makes everyone so antsy about Michael Savage?

Savage does not seem to be predictable, can turn on a dime, and go “from zero to sixty” in a millisecond. I think it’s a function of I.Q. which, coupled with a greater long-wave historical perspective than most other people, yields a bombastic attitude.

When you are smarter than most people, and better educated than most people, and you’re old and rich and impatient enough to cut the B.S. (e.g. “You’re a great American...” “No, YOU’RE a Great American...), weird things happen. And that makes people antsy. Truth makes people antsy.

Let me first state very overtly and openly that, yes, as I've said in this corner, on TV, and in other arenas, Michael Savage makes me laugh out loud, and on occasion, makes me squirm, quite a bit in fact, but half the time I find myself agreeing with him more often lately than in the past.

This is my sentiment, too. Savage has no equal when it comes to breadth and scope of knowledge about a range of subjects, including politics. He is entertaining, informative, and thought-provoking. Limbaugh would have to untie the half of his brain that is tied up to compete with Savage.

The drug industry has them squarely in their sites and they do everything they can to take him down. They have also targeted the church of scientology, which is one of the most effective educational institutions sharing the facts on psychiatric medication

Its a conspiracy!!!!!!! The weiner KNOWS~~~~they are all out to get him because he knows! LMAO...he's a nut who knows how to stir other nuts up.

AFAIC, he jumped the shark when he brought Schumer in to bash Bush over the ports deal. Schumer played him like a fiddle.

Listening to him is like listening to a three hour mental meltdown every single day. I don't know if he's really as depressed as he sounds on the radio, but I keep expecting him to cap himself at the end of a show.

Everything you said is true -- and I could tell even more! But..

shortly after he started his national show I had to adopt the position that as long as the good that he does outweighs the disagreeable I'll keep listening.

Before that I never missed any part of his show for years when his only station was KSFO.

He's explained his attitude toward other conservative hosts as part of the national medium's fierce competition and, in some respects, an attempt to goad them into being more conservative and less Republican. Personally I reject both explanations but for me it's still that good - bad balance.

For me the closest he's come to tipping the scale was the incipient attacks on Gov. Palin.

I remember the story. It was McCormick's Tribune, a conservative opponent of FDR's domestic shenanigans.

The story is not quite comparable to today's deliberate efforts to sabotage our national defense by 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble and their ideological issue (children)-cum-Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) media employees.

If you look into that era take a look at the Great Sedition Trial of 1944. See what the left did to conservative critics of communists. Criticizing Joe Stalin was sedition -- and people think charisma-challenged Joe McCarthy was bad!

Mikey is pretty good once you get past his inferiority complex.
