Michael Savage making sense
He's arguing with people calling in his show saying we need to 'invade this' or 'nuke that'. He was chiding someone for suggesting we should just drop a neutron bomb on Lebanon and be done with it. Someone said Iran is aiding terrorists so we need to take out Iran, so Savage comes back with, "Saudi Arabia is aiding terrorists. Should we bomb Riyadh?" Then he was talking about how if we nuked Iran, then they would try to retaliate and nuke New York, so what does that solve? He was talking about Lebanese children bleeding to death in their father's arms. I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I would hear him protest hurting Arab children. Then he suggested this could be the lead up to staging something that would justify an all out war from Israel (or I would add the USA) Wow, he's really going after the RWers that are cheering on the killing and the WWIII talk. Just though people might want to hear about a dissenting voice from the right.

3. I wouldn't give this jerkoff credit for anything. This is what he said
recently:

On the July 14 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, Michael Savage responded to the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah by declaring that Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah is a "good friend of the liberal left wing, the Michael Moore wing, the Barbara Boxer wing, the Ted Kennedy wing, the anti-American wing of the Democrat Party." While discussing reports that noted Israeli casualties, Savage claimed that "Barbara Boxer should be real happy today." Savage then added that "the American left is cheering today. They'll probably break open the jug wine and cheer that Jews are dying, and that they're living and cowering in bomb shelters. One day, the 'Deutschland über alles' may be played in Jerusalem, and the American left can tear off their masks once and for all and show themselves to be what they really are -- which is the Nazis of our time. "

11. Savage is nuts
He is basically a neo-fascist. He has oddly lucid moments, though. Maybe he ocassionally takes meds... maybe he just drifts in and out of reality. But I do know that I have heard him say some really strange things and most of the time, he advocates things that would be cause the end of America as we know it.

8. 'You should only get AIDS and die, you pig.'
"SAVAGE: Oh, you're one of the sodomites. You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How's that? Why don't you see if you can sue me, you pig. You got nothing better than to put me down, you piece of garbage. You have got nothing to do today, go eat a sausage and choke on it. Get trichinosis.

OK, do we have another nice caller here who's busy because he didn't have a nice night in the bathhouse who's angry at me today? Get me another one, put another sodomite on. No more calls out of--let's go to the next scene. I don't care about these bums. They mean nothing to me. They're all sausages. Next scene; onto the next scene on the Savage Nation."

10. yes
the man has many irrational hatreds and I'm sure he will get back to bashing liberals tomorrow. It's frightening to think of him with real power, but I'm happy he is putting these thoughts I mentioned in the OP in the heads of his crazy listeners.
