Savage compares the Imus firing to what Nazi Germany did to the Jews

[LynneSin]

Not fucking kidding you!

So I'm guessing that Imus is in a concentration camp somewhere being starved, tortured, over-worked, abused and just waiting his time for 'the showers'.

:sarcasm:

I'm sure the Jews of the Holocaust era only wish they were treated as 'horribly' as Imus was by CBS radio/MSNBC

Savage said Imus was "lynched," compared his firing to "what was done in Nazi Germany to Jews"
On the July 20 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage said Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson "lynched Imus" over racially charged comments he made during his April 4 show. Savage, commenting on the subsequent firing of Imus, went on to say, "This is what was done in Nazi Germany to Jews." As Media Matters for America documented, Imus described the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos."

From the July 20 broadcast of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:

SAVAGE: It's the same as what the Reverend -- the great Reverend, who nobody knows where he got his divinity degree from -- Al Sharpton, Reverend Sharpton, excuse me -- nobody knows where he's a Reverend or whether he's ever preached, or gotten a degree -- how he lynched the talk show host Imus. Him and the other wonderful, distinguished Reverend, Jesse High Jackson, demanded the hide of Imus. Well, they lynched him. They lynched Imus, as far as I'm concerned.

They didn't do so, so much for racial reasons, they did it for commercial reasons. They did it A, to shake down CBS, and number 2, they did it because Imus was a more successful talk-show host than they were. They have loser shows on the weekend that no one listens to. Now, how do you move up if you're a talentless demagogue? What you do is you attack talented white men, and you say that we need to have fairness in America, in the American media. So put us in their seats.

This is what was done in Nazi Germany to Jews. Distinguished Jewish professors were thrown into concentration camps, and good, upstanding Germans took their jobs very happily, including a very famous psychiatrist who took Sigmund Freud's chair after Freud was driven out of Germany. And his name is none other than Carl Jung. Carl Jung, who is revered by liberals because he was not Freud, and he was an anti-Freud -- he was Jungian, not Freudian -- very happily accepted the spoils of racism in Nazi Germany, the same way that many so-called progressives have benefited through affirmative action in the United States of America. Yes, it's akin. And I'll be back.

1. Savage compares himself to someone with a brain.

[havocmom]

2. Imprisoned,families ripped apart, worked to death, starved to death, or put to death

not quite the same.

Don't suppose he mentioned how much trouble bush*s granddaddy and his employer got into for being bankers for the Nazis?

Savage Weiner is a dick

Good news is: the wingers must be getting desperately nervous to be pulling this shit. Can't be too long until they get the care they so obviously need.

Edited for typo and wondering if Weiner will make KO's list today.

3. savage is a very confused person....

tomorrow he`ll be hinting that the germans did`t kill the jews to appease his neo-nazi fan base

[unpossibles]

4. ugh, I am so sick of this racist crap

notice how he not only questions their backgrounds, but then says Sharpton and Jackson "lynched" Imus? Subtle.

5. And This Coming From A Self-Hating Jew

Uh...sorry, Mr. Weiener, it's goons like you that come from the Lord Haw Haw playbook. Be assured that had he been on Radio Berlin in the late 30's, Mr. Savage would have been right at home with his vitriol...if anything he'd make the perfect "token Jew" that would be shown to the world. It's slime like him and Dennis Prager, Michael Medved and other Jewish right wing hate spewers (who all get paychecks from the Salem Broadcasting who gets their money from fundie churches and GOOP deep pockets) that have misled many of my fellow Jews, he's one of those who would say "don't worry, we're Germans first, give my pal Adolph a break".
