Have any of you listened to Michael Weiner (aka Savage) on hate radio before? The more I look into this man, the more convinced I am that he is not just a hate-mongering prick, but is quite mentally ill as well. 

In addition to just being completely full of shit most of the time, he says things like two teenage girls that were kidnapped  and raped from lovers lane were sluts and facetiously implied that they went willingly with the rapist.  He said that teenage girls that go and hand out sandwiches to the homeless in DT San Francisco must "want to be raped" 

"On July 2nd, 2002, Savage made rude comments about the handicapped workers at the Phoenix Cafe. He said they would put dung in diners food. He made lots of references to toilet habits and the handicapped. He asked listeners if they would like the waiter to drool in their food. Then he started making up names for the food on the menu, such as "nutburger" and many others.

Savage has bashed the supporters of kids with autism, He ridiculed a major report that California was experiencing a rapid increase in the incidence of autism. He stated that the autism lobby of devastated parents was just a scam to get more money.

On today's show, June 4th, 2004, Mike told a story of how when he was younger, he touched the hand of a midget. He said it really freaked him out and since that episode, he doesn't like public places. " 
That right there smacks of some definite mental softness. 

He is of course in agreement with that psychoskank Ann Cunter that the right of women to vote should be repealed. 

Seriously, is there any talk radio for conservatives that isn't some complete whack job wing nut spouting lies, ridiculousness and hate? 
Just wondering. I would like to point my favorite conservative to something intelligent to listen to.

No.

Randi Rhodes, but good luck trying that.

no. That would never work. He assumes anything that is liberally bent is lies and stupidity.

(kinda like we who KNOW that is what comes from hateradio)

The only thing I can tell you is make him do his research. If he listens to an hour of Savage, make him write down all the "facts" spouted and then look them up. That's the only way he'll be able to really see what he's being fed.

I really think you have to listen to Savage more than just in passing, or a lot of what he says can be taken wrongly (literally) and can be construed as being a bigot of some sort or another. Savage is quite mentally ill, there's no doubt. But if you listen to his show for a week, I promise you will have a different opinion of him. He centers his whole show around Borders, Language, and Culture... All things that most people will agree are important. Borders meaning, obviously, we need to protect our borders and make sure people come here legally. Language meaning we need to have an official language, and that language should be English because it is the predominant language in the U.S. Culture means that while we respect everyone's culture that comes into our country, we are not allowed to celebrate some of OUR culture without it being harped on by the ACLU, etc. I'm not saying I agree or disagree, i'm rather independant minded, but you have to give the guy the right to say what he wants and think what he thinks, because ultimately you have the same right, and so do numerous more liberal radio stations.

I am not implying that he should be taken off the air (although, he occasionally has).

yeah i didn't agree with him being taken off the air for demeaning a stupid caller -- how's that for freedom of speach

I don't agree with that, though telling someone he hope they get aids and referring to them as "faggot "and "sausage" does make him a complete douche

Yeah it was a bit over the top, but rather funny b/c it was a regular caller that would use different names to try and push his agenda, and Savage totally called him on it :)

Savage gets a little cheesy with his whole "throwback to the 50s" mentality, and he has a few regular callers that are hellafied old that he likes to hear stories from, from the "good ol' days"

personally I think savage is TOO conservative for me, and i'd lean myself independant-conservative more than independant-liberal.

I just meant that your opinion of him wouldn't change ... I don't think it matters if you listen to him daily or not, he sounds like an ass and I'm sure that's not going to change either. LOL!

But I have to tell you that I think that is the most totally awesome icon ever. :-D

I know it's important to "know thy enemy"...

.... but gah- if I had to listen to hate radio every day, I would go utterly mad with rage all the time.

You have my sympathy.

I was irritated, but now I am trying really hard to not laugh out loud at it. On somethings he has a point. He is a complete asshole the way he makes the point, therefor losing anyone who has respect for other people, but lately, the things he has been saying are so over the top stupid, that it is actually comical.

I'm the same way, really. I listen to him sometimes just to hear what he's going to say. Sometimes he's on point, but most of the time he's just insane (which also makes for good radio).
