Quote of the Day by dead

[dennisw]

In the first of his three diatribes, Savage said, "You rats! You stinking rats who hide in the sewers! You think you can go after my income? You think you can kill my advertisers? You think I'm Dr. Laura? You think I'm gonna roll over like a pussy? You're wrong. I'm going to find out where you get your money from. You live by handouts, all of you. You live off grants, all of you. You're a bunch of beggars, but you don't know how lucky you are. If you continue this, we're going to go after your funding sources. And we will do everything we can within the legal realm to cut off that funding! We are also going to go to the U.S. Justice Department under John Ashcroft! What you are doing is illegal! You think it's 1965 and I'm South Africa? I've got news for you: it's not 1965 and it ain't South Africa! I'll cut your funding off, and if you break the law any further, I'll put you in jail!"

Savage's new show's title:

FINGERNAILS MEET BLACKBOARD

..."We've done our homework on this," Cathy Renna, news media director for GLAAD, told the website. "There are a lot of different organizations concerned about giving a platform to Michael Savage."...

There you have it. GLAAD embraces the 1st Amendment to spew their anti-heterosexual bile but seeks to halt opposing views. Their tactics smell fishy ...

Man I hope he does. I'd love to see DOJ break the backs of these leftist groups.

[JohnHuang2]

Don't you just love the Left's devotion to the First Amendment? /sarcasm.

[dennisw]

"There are a lot of different organizations concerned about giving a platform to Michael Savage."...

TRANSLATION:
Gay organizations need to shut up our enemy Michael Savage because he totally exposes and embarrasses us. He knows how filthy and duplicitous we are. How we are always trying to bring gay books, gay acceptance, gay couples at prom time, gay clubs, gay sex education, gay viewpoints into our schools full of impressionable young people.

Cockroaches and other vermin HATE anyone who turns on the bright lights !!!!

Well, if GLAAD would have mobilized their supporters earlier on, Donahue would still be on, and they wouldn't have this problem now, would they?

Nice tag. For those who would not look it up...

The envy-motivated and hatred and rage-engined homofascists extort by far more feral-gummint funding per head than any American group and the current [Republican? -- Go figger!] administration also annually squanders Sixty-Five Million Dollars of the confiscated wealth of the Americans who created it on the world's most prolific [And therefore richest!] abortorium operators, NOW, which, during just the 2000 presidential election cycle, spent more than Ten Million Dollars on advertising supporting Goreleone and other members of the "DemocRAT" crime family.

Let's trust that Mr Savage Truly Savages the squalid little hatred-driven gangster bastards!

BORDERS!

LANGUAGE!

CULTURE!

SAVAGE!

[JohnHuang2]

Hey, don't hold back on us now...tell us what you really think :^)

G'morning to ya, amigo

[JohnHuang2]

Donahue would still lack the most important element for TV success: An audience.

[Eaker]

Don't you hate it when GLAAD and NOW get their XX-Large panties in a bunch!!??!!

This is what they look like.

Stay safe; stay armed.

TALK-SHOW HOST MICHAEL SAVAGE THREATENS CRITICS IN RADIO DIATRIBES

On his radio program today, talk-show host Michael Savage threatened to shut down GLAAD and other organizations who are asking MSNBC to reconsider its decision to give him a television show beginning next month.

In his comments, Savage noted that in today's political climate, he would invoke the power of U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and the Justice Department to shut down groups that took issue with his homophobic, racist and sexist attacks. Savage also claimed that in order to secure the votes of his audience in the next election, President George W. Bush would need to do him a "favor" and order an investigation of his critics by the federal government.

Audio recordings and transcripts of Michael Savage's statements during his Feb. 27 radio show can be downloaded at www.glaad.org

In the first of his three diatribes, Savage said, "You rats! You stinking rats who hide in the sewers! You think you can go after my income? You think you can kill my advertisers? You think I'm Dr. Laura? You think I'm gonna roll over like a pussy? You're wrong. I'm going to find out where you get your money from. You live by handouts, all of you. You live off grants, all of you. You're a bunch of beggars, but you don't know how lucky you are. If you continue this, we're going to go after your funding sources. And we will do everything we can within the legal realm to cut off that funding! We are also going to go to the U.S. Justice Department under John Ashcroft! What you are doing is illegal! You think it's 1965 and I'm South Africa? I've got news for you: it's not 1965 and it ain't South Africa! I'll cut your funding off, and if you break the law any further, I'll put you in jail!"

Later in the program, Savage said, "I have millions of people who vote. Mr. Bush wants to get re-elected, and just consider me a politician at that point. I'm going to ask for a trade in favor. If they keep it up, my favor is going to be I want these groups investigated. If they're doing nothing illegal, fine. If they've crossed the line, then put 'em out of business."

"Everything Savage said -- from the childish name-calling to his notion that the U.S. Department of Justice is his personal posse -- seemed the product of a seriously disturbed individual," said Cathy Renna, GLAAD's news media director. "It's clear that any Savage program would not be about dialogue, but about diatribes and name-calling. It would not be about commentary, but about bullying. After listening to his outbursts, I can't imagine why anyone at a respectable news network would offer a program to someone like this. "

>>Kim Gandy, president of NOW, claims the network has "created a situation that makes it impossible to get a moderate message out," according to the TVSpy.com report.<<


First off, I wouldn't call NOW's message moderate. Second, everyday, year after year the big city newspapers have flooded us with their leftist/liberal message. Now that conservatives have found ways to get their message out (radio, internet), the left is in an uproar. They just want their message to get out.
BTW "TVSpy.com"?
