I only caught the last 5 minutes, because of the inconvenient time frame of his MSNBC show, Saturday. So I am asking you, is MSNBC correct in describing Savage as “Attila the Tongue”

Savage is certifiably schizophrenic.

IOW, nuts.

He's got to earn his stripes, just like the rest of the conservatives on the air. Bellyaching about not getting coverage in the "conservative media" by a guy with one show in his pocket is pathetic whining.

I watched the first half hour and I thought the show was pretty lame - no flow, too much shouting. I've always thought the kind of show conservatives need is one where there is enough time to allow people to make points and explain there positions.

Most people, I believe would be conservatives if they were to truly understand a lot of the issues. Unfortunately the Savage Nation is more intent on instigating a response than formulating a compelling argument.

Thumbs Down.

Michael Savage is the obnoxious guest at the party who will shout to be heard above all the other guests.

He's a boorish clod.

His message is OK, but I'd rather read it.

"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.

I didn't see the show, and I've never heard the radio show, but the above sounds pretty good to me, especially, if he draws a good audience.

Showing the demorats as the hypocritical bigots that they are is a good think in my book.

I normally only watch PMSNBC when Nora Odonnel is on, but I think I'll give this show a chance.

There has been a lot of criticism about Savage. The only thing you have not accused him of is being humble.

I listened to him for the first time, yesterday. I think he's terrific.

But I can see why the Latte RINOs are trying to disown him.

"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".

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.

I find it impossible to listen to Savage for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a stretch. He has some good ideas, but they are negated by the snarling, spittle flecked rant he uses as their delivery vehicle.

Savage is the living embodiment of the red-faced, vein-popping, shouting cartoon conservative libs love to cite as representative of us all. Michael's show plays straight into their hands.

I've been listening to Savage for a few years now. I must admit when I first listened to him, I was frightened by all his screaming. But his yelling is just an indication of his passion -- this man has a fire in his belly, and really cares for this country! We already have conservatives who can calmly debate the issues logically and coherently, but they have not convinced those who are illogical. We need passionate guys like Savage to get through to them, with visceral pictures of dead Iraqis and falling bodies. Maybe that will jar them, since logic can't!

I encourage those of yall who have been turned off to give him another chance. It will take a few more episodes for him to get the hang of TV.

For those of you who said his views are Fascist, which ones?

By the way, I've met Dr. Savage in person and he is a true gentleman, not obnoxious at all. His views in person are not as harsh as those on the radio. I think he purposefully comes down harder on people on the radio just to be more entertaining, stir up the crowd, get some people fired up. The Willie Brown example would fit into this category.

Finally, yall are right though that he is surrounded by sycophants (some real wackos). However he is careful to stay private and not let them influence him in any way.

Michael Savage's rage is typical Californian after years of Gray Davis and San Fransico.

Atilla the Hun was a Moderate Pu**y. Savage is somewhere to the right.

Savage is an embarrassment to conservatism (unfortunately he's not alone in that role). If conservatives don't want to hype him, that's his problem.

"the lack of conservative media and conservative website coverage his new show received"

May say it all.
