Michael Savage criticizes victim's appearance.
I made the mistake of landing on Savage's radio show tonight whilst trying to find the Steelers game........

And he is talking about the television images showing all the poor, African-American people standing around "I've never seen so many overweight, misshapen women" and goes on to insinuate that they got that way sitting on their butts waiting for the welfare check.

Then callers started chiming in, wondering when Jesse Jackson and other "activists" would go to N.O. and lead a protest.

At that point, I had had enough and moved on. But it's unbelievable that scum like him actually influence the common trash that vote Repuke.

He failed to mention the futility of working 40 hours a week at under $6.00/hr with no health insurance. He also didn't mention that his boy, Bush, was essentially a welfare king until he bought a professional baseball team.

7. Thanks. We big ladies like to be appreciated too. But Savage
is just so sick to even be focusing on people's size.

HELL, their extra weight may be what is keeping them alive right now, so &^%$&!%$ YO, Weiner!

4. What I'd like to see is the whole freakin' coutnry waking up and having
a protest.

Savage and his listeners are sub-human. I wish we could do a person for person swap with all the survival of the fittest types who AREN'T in New Orleans right now.

5. The foods they exist on usually cause you to gain weight
It's difficult to have a proper diet when you don't have money. The cheapest foods are unfortunately the most fattening. That's no excuse for being overweight, but the white people I saw standing in line to view Reagan's casket didn't look like they had missed many meals either.

10. I'm sorry but I think if you can't afford to buy proper food, that IS an
excuse for being overweight and is yet another indicator of how wide the chasm is between rich and poor in this country.

8. Get used to it. The true colors are coming out. And maybe that's good.
Even Rove won't get Americans to feel like that, whatever our prejudices (yes, me, too, and everyone here. Not this time). Bush didn't "buy" that team, he got another deal. And that's his whole life experience. Savage is just nuts; let him go. Rush, Fox News Hannity and Laura Ingraham are the real problem. They read the notes everyday; Sean does it verbatim. Nuts like Savage and Coulter are off the reservation. Substance abuse too, at least Coulter.

9. Oh yeah, and those Repukes never have a weight problem?
What a pig. Go ahead, Savage. Kick them when they are down.

The revolution will not be televised.

12. If I ever have to spend a week without food
I'll probably be pretty grateful for my extra pounds. Screw you, Michael Savage!

14. OK, I understand the right to free speech. But who are the motherfuckers..
... who are paying this guy? Why is he drawing a paycheck to spout this shit?

There was a time -- as the "values" crowd ought to know -- when decency prevailed in this country, and a horrible little person like Savage Weiner or whatever his name really is would NEVER have been given a podium like this.

Who signs his paycheck? I'd really like to know. Because THAT person is the real problem. There will always be bile-spewing psychopaths in the world, that's a given. But why in the hell are they being made into celebrities today?
