Feb. 12 — Conservative talk radio phenomenon and best-selling author Michael Savage will host “The Savage Nation,” a one-hour weekly issue-oriented opinion show premiering March 8, 5:00-6:00 p.m. ET on MSNBC.

I've seen that same footage for years.

Yup, it's the same stuff.

[Pharmboy]

Why spew such negativity about a guy who puts our point of view out there (indeed--if you share it)? I bet you have a bit of something personal going on here...

[battlegearboat]

Yeah, you're right.

She's flaming my mailbox right now and telling me how she has a 4.0 GPA and that I have no life and to go get one and not nit pick on her.

I wrote her a private reply in where I offered advice that it might help her to seem more credible if she would just polish her grammer, punctuation and sentence structure. It was offered earlier on another thread as kindly advice.

I find it odd that this 33 year old college student who says she maintains a 4.0 GPA cannot even write a sentence.

I'm taking heat on this from numerous people. I didn't even graduate from high school. I dropped out, took a G.E.D. and joined the U.S. Navy. I was assigned to gunboats on Vietnam's rivers and I am a disabled combat veteran. I went back to school later in life and I studied and learned (and continue to learn) English. I've worked hard all my life, harder than I had to if I had just paid attention to my studies.

People want to take me on...I say bring it on and be as vicious as you want. You're not going to make me cry into my pillow and kick up my heels.

Didn't Fox drop Drudge because of a partial birth abortion picture Drudge wanted to or did show? It was too graphic for their editors. I thought that was it.

Savage did just fine tonight. Sometimes, bad press helps because expectations by liberal rags were that he would be dreadful. He wasn't dreadful and it was entertaining and informative. He said "I love President Bush". Nobody else has ever dared to say that on tv.

[Symix]

"you people" bugged me too.

It can't be a racial division, nor a sexual.
She groups me and you in some other group and I do not know which. Other than a patriotic conservative?

they were interviewing Savage, they asked him what he thought of the US going to war with Iraq. And I was shocked to hear him say he was totally against it

Boy, did you get THAT wrong. Savage is FOR the war in Iraq. What you must have heard him say was that he was against torturing the terrorist prisoners, that it would reduce us to their level.

[battlegearboat]

see post 263.

I fear it is YOU newbie drek who lacks intellectual as well as all other forms of integrity. Have a nice day.

[Mike Darancette]

Tell me more about the Clinton at the mall thing. :)

[Pharmboy]

I thought it was the lesbian SF cop who stopped him and had him sign his book...

[Howlin]

Well, I didn't say I wouldn't show up for it.....remember, I had called first dibs on Lanny Davis!

[StriperSniper]

stopped him and had him sign his book...

That was the opening. I only heard about an hour and a half this week so I'm not sure about all he promoed. I knew about the Iraqi footage.

And there's O' Reilly and Hannity who do both radio and tv. Who have the lefties got? I think Savage came across well - I wasn't shocked or disappointed. All these tv critics at FR are amazing... All have degrees in communication? LOL

I saw the whole show today. I t was my first exposure to MS and I thought it was good. The thing they need to change is that the callers and MS were talking at the same time (even though they agreed with each other). He only got calls from those who agreed with him, he needs to take on the libs directly. He seemed to be trying very hard to not go over the top. But I liked his points and thought he was funny. Rush stopped being funny a long time ago, for the most part.

Litany apologized to you but unfortunately, he sent it to himself instead of to you. Back up a little and you'll see Litany realized his error. There's nothing conspiratorial going on here.

I firmly believe that w/o people like Savage to speak the truth this country will not exist in any form recognizable to the Founding Fathers by 2050.

You missed it.

Lincoln destroyed it in 1861.

Savage is better looking than Nachman but still has a face perfect for radio.

[my right]

I'll give him a chance, if he changes his show from top to bottom. He needs to take a seat, first off. He needs to stop plugging his book. And he needs some guests.

I disagree with everything you say.

Why does he need to take a seat? That's just silly

I didn't see where he was overly pushing his book.

Why have guests when he is taking callers?

I thought he did a wonderful job. I can't remember anyone getting on national TV and saying that the White male was getting the shaft. (my words) The first breath of raw conservative talk on TV since Rush and so many people here at FR dissing him. I don't understand it.

[Iowegian]

As for those on this thread who are being over-critical, some of them can't take any criticism, even mild, of GWB. Savage said W was not passionate enough at the press conference and he wanted the real GWB. But that is heresy to some, you see. This does not apply to all, but it does to some of the naysayers.

[2rightsleftcoast]

Actually, I would have liked to see more passion the other night from our President. I think we should already be at war. We must protect our country.
