Michael 'Savage' is back with a vengence: Most "Ph.D. experts on children are either gay or crazy...
http://mediamatters.org/items/200811170012

Savage: Most "Ph.D. experts on children are either gay or crazy ... if they were married, they either tried to kill their wife or were in rehab"
Summary: Discussing "children" on his radio show, Michael Savage stated: "I'm as good an expert as any. I have found in my life that most of the Ph.D. experts on children are either gay or crazy and were never married. Or if they were married, they either tried to kill their wife or were in rehab for a few years, and then came out and went into psychotherapy to find out why they killed, or attempted to kill. And then they washed it all away, and suddenly they're experts on childrearing."

21. I believe Savage is still on WRVA every night.
I wonder what it would take for them to drop his show?

7. It amazes me the levels to which these right wing radio hosts constantly sink.
Karel was fired (and maybe rightfully so) for his rant on KGO, but whatever these disgusting simple minded fools say, they never seem to get in trouble for it. The worst part is that some of his equally disgusting and simple minded listeners will accept his garbage as fact.

8. Savage by name. savage by nature
My initial reaction was to feel very personally insulted, on my own behalf and even more on that of certain colleagues, but on second thoughts, emotions aren't for wasting on someone like him.

First, why wouldn't gay people be able to give good info on kids? Asshole.

Second, he shouldn't be throwing the word "crazy" around so lightly. :crazy:

14. I'm as good an expert as any.
I've found that more than 99% of right wing radio hosts are psychotic pedophiles who are incapable of functioning in normal society. Now, I'm not saying that Michael Savage is a socially dysfunctional psychotic pedophile. Just that there's a greater than 99% chance that he is.

18. HAHAHAH, yeah and christo-fascist fertility fundies are the answer!!
treat your kids like you "should" treat your dog--beat them until they cry, you must break their will. Crow about how their terror of you proves you're a good parent.

I really should ignore these maroons, but at the same time, they're so entertaining!! :rofl:

25. I think he needs some old school therapy, from before liberal reforms
The movie "Frances" comes to mind. Insulin shock, ECT and, if those fail, prefrontal lobotomy.

26. This from a man who once wrote unrequited mash notes to Allen Ginsberg
From Weiner's Wiki, the link to which contains parens that DU software gags on:

Savage introduced himself to certain writers in the North Beach area of San Francisco in the early 1970s. He befriended and traveled with Beat poets Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Stephen Schwartz, also an acquaintance of Savage from this time, reported Savage possessed a photograph of himself and Ginsberg swimming naked in Hawaii and used the photograph as sort of a "calling card." Savage maintained a correspondence with Ginsberg consisting of ten letters and a trio of postcards across four years, which is maintained with Ginsberg's papers at Stanford University. One letter asked for Ginsberg and Ferlinghetti to come do a poetry reading, so others could "hear and see and know why I adore your public image." One postcard mentions his desire to photograph Ginsberg in a provocative way, though Savage states that this correspondence is actually a forgery created by gay detractors.

A forgery created by gay detractors!!! :tinfoilhat: :rofl:

30. I assume he's referring to Dr. Laura
She often offers her opinion on child-rearing.

Too bad Weiner's parents didn't get a little more expert advice when he was growing up.
