"I'll put my advertising in the liberal media," Savage said, sounding off on the lack of conservative media and conservative website coverage his new show received, after its airing on MSNBC, this past Saturday.
The Savage Nation, which debuted in the time slot of 2 PM PST and 5 PM EST, Dr. Savage deemed a big success. Savage said, "NYC called after the show with thumbs up." "We got a star." "It's a hit and we are going to run with it." However, Savage added, to catch a bigger audience the upcoming shows will be aired again at 6 PM PST and 9 PM EST .
He went on the attack mentioning the "Great Bill O'Reilly with tongue in cheek" and other "talking heads" on the "conservative and liberal aisles going out" after their shows with their guests, with whom they had just argued with in front of the camera, "for martinis and discussing how they had screwed the audience". Savage believes his show will be different and true to the audience.
A caller to Savage's radio/talk show asked why he stood up during the show. Savage joked MSNBC couldn't afford a table and chair; but then went on to say he had stood for 3-4 years doing his radio show. He said, "I get air in and air out which makes me a better speaker", comparing his style to that of a singer. He did admit the lighting needed to be toned down. This was the only discomfort he felt which derived from an accident he suffered when young, often wearing sun glasses to compensate.
The second show will again offer some of the same footage of the atrocities in Iraq, more footage of 9/11 "to bring the liberals out of their haze." "People need to be woken up." "I am declaring war on Hollywood." "I will roast them over the coals." "How did we go from WWII when Hollywood stood up for the country to the Hollywood today ?" he asked.
The show contined with callers giving positive feed back for Savage. Then he quickly moved onto the hot topic of Rep.James P. Moran, Jr. of Va. "who is not qualified to be in office, as Trent Lott was brought down for far less". Savage stated we should put pressure on the Republicans to have him "thrown out now", for bigotry from remarks made at the St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Reston on March 3rd, which Moran has now apologized for. He questioned, "Where is Boxer, Feinstein and the other Jewish Democratic Senators and Congressmen?" Footage of Rep.Moran's remarks, Savage hopes to run on next week's show.
When a bomb has an "R on it", Savage says, it's evil, when it has a "D on it", it's ok. You have to admit as Dr. Savage says at the beginning of his show: "Here's the dragon, do I not scream?"
Time to turn on the fire hose? ;)
No and I only caught the last part of the show, conflicted with a rally.
But I can see why the Latte RINOs are trying to disown him.
Just giving him space on a Conservative based website, as he requested.
Laughing at *humble*.
Yep!
Hosted by a selection of FR's effete yuppies, live from the country club.
However, he gives respect when due..recently he had on a Freeper, Oliver. They had a difference of opinion but Savage respected his opinion and went on to say so throughout the entire show. He respects a difference of opinion if dished with intelligence.
Agree. Fruitcake also comes to mind.
The Anti-Rush. All hype and screaming, no rationality. He'd make a good leftist talk show host for the new network, if he was only leftist.
You sure you weren't listening to Hannity? :)
Agree, I struggle with that.
That was why the show kept evolving until season three.
Excuse me! Hardly Fascist - I think you slept through too many college classes or haven't been listening to talk radio long.
It's Borders Language Culture
What a freaking hypocrite !!
I am a massive Savage fan, and lived in California when he had his very first broadcast years ago on KSFO, but one thing about him has always bugged me to death about him. He is a hypocrite !!
I remember once he was really ripping on SF Mayor Willie Brown, just really scathing him, calling him a race-baiting poverty pimp and all, and he goes to a call..."Micheal this is Mayor Brown, I thought I'd better call in to defend myself...". What followed was the worst episode of "lap dogging" I have ever witnessed. It was worse than Geraldo with Clinton during the Impeachment.
Savage has also on several occasions let slip that he went out to dinner with among others, Willie Brown. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
I find Him very entertaining and listen often, but one should not think for a second that Paul Revere, the man after whom Micheal's fan society is named, would go out to dinner with the likes of Micheal Savage.
I'm sure I've stirred up a hornet's nest now, but I couldn't let this one go.
