Savage Weiner: Lantos used Holocaust as 'weapon' in his life.

[edbermac]

Discussing the recent death of Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA), Michael Savage stated during the February 11 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, "You're not supposed to talk badly about the dead. I generally wouldn't do it. But in the case of Tom Lantos, I'll make an exception. I think he was one of the most -- he was a scoundrel. And I'll tell you why I detested Tom Lantos. The man survived the Holocaust of World War II and used it as a weapon the rest of his life."

Lantos had served California's 12th District since 1981 and was the only member of Congress to have survived the Holocaust. He escaped from a forced labor camp in his native country of Hungary as a teenager with the help of Swedish humanitarian Raoul Wallenberg. Savage later claimed, "You can't have it both ways. You can't suffer such a horror, and then use it as a weapon without people noticing it." He added: "I didn't like Tom Lantos."

According to Talk Radio Network, which syndicates Savage's show, Savage is heard on more than 350 radio stations. Talkers Magazine has indicated that The Savage Nation reaches more than 8 million listeners each week, making it the third most listened-to talk radio show in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.

1. It's almost as if Weiner is...

...determined to be the most manifestly odious piece of human gristle in history.

The man is a toad.

[Lost-in-FL]

2. Isn't he using 9/11 to his advantage??

And his life was not even in danger during this time. Fricking coward.

3. The Holocaust *should* be used as a weapon against those who would commit such atrocities.

4. not all Nazis were Aryan....Savage sells out everybody he can to keep his shock alive...

he has the luxury of knowing he doesn't know what it WAS like, he won't have to know what it IS like, to be on the top of the exterminators list...and his listeners eat it up. "The abusers of the 2nd Amendment are the very reason we have and need the 2nd Amendment." He's talking to a crowd that wants to hear it. Where do you think that the 26-30% come from. Yeah...some real f****** patriots in that crowd. Anyway, those guys have always had their day, on radio especially, but sooner or later, they do themselves in (remember Father Coughlin?)...I, for one, vote for SOONER.

11. Savage is a raging nutcase.

That he would go on a tear like this today does not surprise me. What does surprise me is that this nut has an audience at all.
