I've long thought that this is Savage's real job. He's crazy like a fox, portraying the conservative positions in such an insane way that he absolutely polarizes politics and drives any liberals who are starting to think for themselves back into the Leftist fold. That he does this out of the SF Bay Area makes perfect sense.
That's very perceptive, Talisker.
And like an 'angel of light' he will speak ninety-nine words of truth in order to sneak in one lie.
I believe he outed himself, giving credence to your summation when he opined about 'assault' rifles in one of his editorials.
As the saying goes, "The Truth will out!"
