I listen To Michael Savage |
|
I can't help it.
Savage is the most insane person on the radio. He's so frightened of gays and the poor, you can tell what's forefront on his mind - sexuality and money.
I play this game when he's on. I count the factual errors in his rhetoric, his blatant contradictions, and the instances of his hate mongering. Sometimes I lose count, or give up, because the count gets too high.
I love it when he get's self-righteous. It's so hollow. It all sounds so fake. It reminds me of the Phil Hendry show, if you've ever listened to Hendry. Hendry fakes the voice of a kooky "guest," then gets people to call in to complain about the non-existent kook.
Unfortunately, on Savage's show, the kook is real, because the kook is Savage. One of these days, he's going to lose it on the air. I want to hear it as it happens. I want to be there. I want to be a witness to his breakdown. So I listen.
I can't help it.

9. Every so often, I have to cut him off |
|
especially when he laughs at his own jokes. I can't stand that.
And some times he's just SOOO wrong that it pisses me off, so I switch to NPR for a radio sorbet.
Most of the time I just listen.
I can't help it, its tragic. I WANT him to blow a blod clot in his forehead.
On the air.
Live.
While I'm tuned in....

It's not like he'd ever wish anyone dead of some horrible disease.

|
And why are we listening to him? Self-abuse, self-imposed punishiment? Get off on self-torture? :P

15. Now Reagan--I CANT listen to him |
|
he spits on the microphone. It's like Rush on stupid pills, mixed with Daffy Duck.
He's boring, wrong, and has an ugly voice. That's bad radio.

30. M. Reagan is a self-pitying whine-fest. |
|
Can't see how anyone listens to him. Many of the others are talented if only for the reason of staying tuned to check out what they'll say next.

33. If Savage Weiner is an only child |
|
its because his sibs cast him out, or died of shame.
He is so hateful, I don't know how anyone could be in the same room with him for more than the 25 minutes it takes me to drive home from work.
I rarely even make it that long, and that includes commercial breaks.

11. Absolutely! Savage on the air is like Savage in therapy. |
|
Edited on Thu Jun-09-05 01:58 AM by demwing
He rants about things that make him feel poorly about himself, then gets nasty so that he doesn't have to emotionally connect.
It's so clear to me.

17. I listen to Weeeenie too. |
|
That's how I learn to speak Freeper.
I fear that The Weeeenie is going to eclipse The PigMan, because even Oxicontin won't let PigMan go as far as The Weeeenie.
PigMan has to swallow all those drugs because he has a glimpse of what he has created. And now he will have to take even more as he sees his fascist radio movement taken over by a complete maniac.
Over the years, PigMan has had to become more and more outrageous. Where is the limit?
That's THE problem with fascism. They're NEVER satisfied.
So now the psychotic Weeeeenie will replace the drugged PigMan?
"So it goes." Be warned.

34. Phil Hendry is hilarious! |

I don't know how he carries on a conversation with three people at one time and he is the voice of all three. The "suckers" always call in - not realizing Hendry is the "guest".. :)

37. did ne 1 hear savage threaten William Shulz yesterday? |
|
savage is so pissed off at Amnesty Int'l who he refers to as "amnasty" and their director, William Shulz because Shulz is calling for an investigation into the Gitmo abuses. He's been calling Shulz a traitor for days and says he's guilty of treason and should be arrested, etc. etc., but yesterday i heard him go over the top. In a dripping with sarcasm voice, he said something along the lines of "i sure hope no crazies listening to this show go after this guy, Shulz -- i just hope they don't cause he sure is a traitor to this nation." he also told Shulz he hopes he's safe on his next vacation.
to me, it sounded like a veiled threat, but not all that veiled. savage is extremely narcissistic, often asking callers to call in and tell him Y he is so great and spending whole shows on his ratings when they come in. He is extremely homophobic and refers to anyone he doesnt' like as a pervert and a child molester. He is creepy and scary and to me he's a bit sad because he's so transparent. JoMama.

39. He still does, at least as of last week. |
|
I heard him use that very same term (turkey baster feminists). It didn't click at first--obviously he was talking to his long time listeners, but when it dawned on me what he was saying I had to turn the channel. He was so snotty about it, so oily and deprecating.
I wonder if he has any close friends. He seems like the type of person who would be a bore at a party, yet consider himself the star guest. You know -- laughs at his own jokes, commonly makes wisecracks at some elses expense, talks about himself, raises his voice when he loses control of the conversation, etc...
