Is it a coincidence that Michael Savage was the first person who came to mind after the TN shooting?

[Faryn Balyncd]

Is it a coincidence that immediately upon hearing of a shotgun attack upon the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, that Michael Savage came to mind?

Was it presumptuous to assume that this act had perhaps be carried out by someone who is a true believer in the rants of right wing radio?

That the shooter's actions are the logical result of the 24/7/365 demonization and scapegoating of "lib-ruls", immigrants & Muslims (the top 3 RW scapegoats of the moment?

Michael Savages recent smearing of autistic Americans & their families is rather mild compared to the stench that he has spewed daily on the public airways for years:

- - - On numerous occasions Savage has advocated leveling a Muslim capital city in retaliation for every beheading.

- - - Savage has repeatedly called for "raising the temperature" (to temperatures only possible with nuclear weapons) in the air 10,000 feet above the entire Sunni triangle.

- - - Savage has repeated advocated removing Sen. Durbin "in chains" from the floor of the Senate and incarcerating him for sedition (because Durbin quoted an American officer's criticism of U. S. military actions in an internal military document.)

- - - A few years ago, while discussing Hugo Chavez, Savage wondered why the Venezuelan army had not removed him in a coup, and then went on to state on the air that the US would only be saved by a right wing military coup, a charge he actually repeated on the air at least once within the next week. At the time, I thought Savage had finally crossed a line that even his RW sponsors would not stomach ----- that that would be one of his periodic outbursts which periodically threaten Savage's continued air time.

Should I have been surprised a few weeks later when his station started using a clip this fascist rant FOR ADVERTISING?

Should anyone be surprised that one of the first things police found in the Tennessee killer's house was a copy of Savage's "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder"?





Michael Savage is simply the most hateful rabble rouser in the history of American radio.

Does anyone care to speculate on whether the language of the Tennessee shooter's 4 page rant includes phraseology directly borrowed from Savage's book?

1. No surprises here.

I have seen this coming for a long time, and I knew that on the right's downward trajectory, they would go to guns and taake numbers of people out. I also knew that the trail of their motivations would lead back to the squawking heads. I would also expect that there is plenty of phraseology in that "manifesto" that comes straight from the pages of the tripe those jerkoffs write.

Once again, David Neiwert has made a career writing about these pathetic creatures who are ready to kill and create chaos. He's been writing about it for years, but apparently, no one has much cared to pay attention. Google up his site, and read. It's all there.

2. OK. Exactly who would appear to have the mental disorder in this case?

So this nut-cake listens to the gasbag hatemongers and acts out their insane ravings. And they have the audacity and sheer chutzpah to call liberalism a disorder.

Can't the people in bUsh_itworld see the complete and utter disconnect in this so called thought process?? Does it not occur to them that they have been duped by the lowest of the low? Do they not see that they are following the delusional rantings of megalomaniacs? Can't they understand that this is the same hate filled path that millions of Germans followed when they dutifully killed each other and their neighbors?

So when is congress going to take up legislation to limit hate speech? When are they going to enforce EXISTING LAWS against inciting riot, gang violence and hate crimes? Clearly, if ever there was case to be made against these hate mongers this is it. I hope the victims relatives press a suit against them. There is clearly evidence.

3. Nor is it coincidence that Hannity's and Billo's books were found there too.

4. Haven't radio stations been dropping his program.

I wonder if the guy went ape shit over stations dropping the program, anyone know if the station in this guys city still carries savage?
