Savage has an audience, myself included. He has creative invective, but I can only take about 10 minutes.

Yes, let's bring back the Fairness Doctrine and all the liberal pro-homo, pro-abortion programs will be forced to have pro-family, Christians represented for the other side.

The libs are just jealous because anytime they have a liberal talk radio show, it goes down the toilet after a few months. Never mind that all talk shows on television are full of bleeding hearts. Geez, they have television in their back pocket, now they want to turn radio into All Lib Propaganda, All the Time.

There is no need to protect conservative talk show hosts. Their ratings do that for them.

The same goes for Howard Stern.

I've never heard Savage pretend to be Christian. And things he's let slip make it pretty obvious (at least to me, a fellow native of the Bronx) that his background is Jewish. He's also suggested that he is not a doctrinaire believer in any religion, which might explain the fact that he does not openly declare himself a Jew. I don't see what's hypocritical or insincere about any of this.

And I am amazed that these leftists can say that Savage exhibits hatred or bigotry towards women or "people of color." I can't recall any occasions when I have noticed this.

Be sure to protest any attempt to silence Talk Radio, we know our beloved GOP won't.

In April, a Portland, Oregon group calling itself the "Coalition Against Hate Radio" announced a boycott of Savage’s advertisers and called on KXL radio to drop his show.

"[Savage’s] content is an unbroken stream of hate and chauvinism directed against women, people of color, liberals, immigrants and in particular people of Middle Eastern heritage and people of the Muslim faith," said coalition spokesman Tom Nelson.

Among its 20-odd member organizations, the Coalition includes the Muslim Educational Trust, Islamic Societies of Southwest Washington and Portland, Jews for Global Justice and the Multnomah County Democratic Party.

It’s plain enough why Muslim and leftwing religious groups would oppose Savage. But why the Multnomah County Democratic Party?

An April 26 article in NewsMax.com offers one theory. In a NewsMax column of March 8, Savage exposed Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer of New York and Ron Wyden of Oregon as the principal opponents of a bill requiring photo IDs for voters. Such a bill would deprive Democrats of one of their favorite political tools – voter fraud.

A similar law worked brilliantly in Mexico, as Allan Wall – an American writer living in Mexico – described in FrontPageMagazine.com:

"In contrast to ours, the Mexican election [of 2000] went quite smoothly. Decades of rigged elections, which had become a highly-developed art form, had been overcome… The presidential election passed with no major incidents nor disputes, and resulted in a peaceful change of regime after 71 years of one-party rule."

Perhaps Senators Schumer and Wyden fear a similar upset, should America clean up its voting system. In any case, Savage’s March 8 column gave Oregon Democrats plenty of reason to fear him.

This is the true story, IMHO. Illegals Voting.

1) I don't see how ANY version of a "fairness doctrine" could pass constitutional muster. (Hey, when a cross in a jar of pee is protected by the first amendment.. )

2) Michael Savage is a worthless, mindless, reactionary dj who contributes little to nothing to the Conservative cause.. And I STILL don't want him censored.

He has a habbit of spouting off a two or three word sound byte and then hanging up on anyone who dissagrees with him. True, he is usually correct, but his failure to offer adequate explanations and reasoned logic to a dissenting caller does nothing to educate them and eventually win them over. Rush is very adept at this and Savage could take a lesson from him.

(It would also be nice if his show didn't ramble all over the place and wind up sounding like a fireside chat hosted by Otis of Mayberry)

3) The reason Conservatives (including Savage) could basically care less about Palestinian's being killed and go nuclear over the homocide bomings is because the Palestinians are the agressors. It's really that simple.

It's allot like why no one cares if Darth Vader get's his butt whooped in Star Wars, it's because he's the BAD GUY and Conservatives don't root for the bad guy's.

"How I turned $100,000 into $18 million overnight through stock fraud" Terry McAulifee, ultra-sleezoid Clinton stooge head of the DNC, announced several months ago a Take Back the Airways Campaign. This will be a coordinated campaign to diiscredit, bork, and purge Republican, libertarian, and conservatve commentators off the radio and (in his dreams) off the Internet. This will reach its crescendo just before election day.

The battle is begun. Let's get ready to rumble!!!

Ratings or no.. Let them try to put a stopper in Rush's mouth and watch the crap storm that follows.

No Way will that happen.. Not in our lifetimes.

They tried in 1993 and 1994 with the "Fairness in Broadcasting Act," something that was pushed by a few Dems. They lost that fight big. Ernest Hollings was the Senate sponsor of that bill, with Bill Hefner doing so in the House.

"AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE of leftists, Democrats and Muslims has joined forces to muzzle talk radio. Its weapons are advertiser boycotts, smear campaigns, calls for repressive legislation… and Jew-baiting."

But...leftists, Democrats, Muslims, and Nazis were made for each other...they're all cut out of the same piece of cloth.

Howard Stern I could do without. I am amazed he has any listeners at all. What a crude clod.

The conservative thing is just a schtick to Savage. Actually its all about Mike.

The prima donna bit is annoying enough when Rush does it, but with Savage's abrasive style its really hard to take.

Well Savage is alright with me. Sure there are things to his show that are not as sophisticated as a RUSH but I never doubt that this guy is as conservative as can be. My biggest complaint is cutting the callers off so quickly at times. I wished this nation had 100 million here with his conservativism. Are some of you bothered becasue he doesn't carry the pubbie flag around?

It sure seems that way..

I wish he would do more than give out soundbytes and hangup on people. Sure, I know he feels like it.. but that educates no one.

Rush will go to great length when he has an intelligent liberal (?) on the line to explain his point of view and why he thinks he's right. Even if the guy on the phone remains unconvinced, the debate may still sway one of the fence riding listeners.

I have been pretty critical of Rush in the past, but this is one of the things I think he does very well, explain his point of view in a very simple, very clear way.

Why do you have to educate the buttwipes who won't listen to logic and reason in the first place?

Admit it, the lefties in the US don't care about the truth.

Rush wins people over all the time.. His show is filled with testamonials.

And, I just said that's the way "I" would prefer it.

Obviously Michael does just fine ranting like a drunk and hanging up on people.

Not at all - wouldn't want him to. But Savage often seems more knee jerk in his positions than thoughtful.

For example, one day not too long ago Hillary Clinton made a rather pat statement in support of Isreal that had Michael spending that afternoon proclaiming that she would undoubtedly be our next president. He's too irratic.
