My ears are still ringing
Just got off the phone with a republican friend of mine. Last week he seemed to be questioning W* and starting to see the light. Today he went on a rant for me to read Michael Savage's "Enemy Within". I told him that I had no interest in the book. He must have gone off on the book store when they said it was in the back. He thought Michael had 3 books that are number one and he deserved a special place in the store.
:argh: He proceeds to tell me that I need to quit listening to the media (which is called liberal in la la land). I told him that I don't listen to too much of the conservative bushy controlled media, but get my tidbits from the internet.

I don't know much about the Savage Wiener, but about 5 minutes of him playing on my friends radio. I couldn't stand it and he thinks Al Frankin and Michael Moore are terrible. I don't get it, but I told him the bookstore was probably getting ready to throw the book out back and I told that he should not worship the savage and read up on PNAC. I think I am right that it is more PNAC running this country into the ground rather than the liberals according to him.

Something must be happening in the right wing world for his hatred to be showing like this. I think his head nearly exploded and mine was only damaged slightly.
:freak:

1. But lately Savage has been tuning on * and the "Bushbots"
Edited on Thu Aug-04-05 04:57 PM by Canuckistanian
Well, let's face it, Savage isn't satisfied that ANY politician is bloodthirsty enough.

2. I'd bet dollars to pesos
that this 'friend' acts like the liberals are the viscious, hateful, hate-mongering side of the equation... with the savage weiner on the other side, no less.

:eyes:

6. Exactly
He also told me as the first poster did that Savage is dissing B*sh. I guess I don't know what Savage is saying, but it has really brainwashed my "" friend "". Apparently it is something against diversity. He had to ask me if I was white; ah duh, and whether I was proud of my race. I said, "not especially the way the b*sh regime has been acting." "I would hope that people of all nations would be coming together and getting smarter instead of trying to blow each other up". This is when he told me that we should hire mercenaries to kill all of "them" meaning muslims. In his mind the mecenaries would be much cheaper and a good value for the US.

Really find it funny in light of the Novak and Santorum eruptions.
I may have to read up on Savage, though I don't want to.
Savage gots the koolaid! :beer:

3. My one time encounter with the Savage Wiener.
I had to take my pomeranian who was very sick to the emergency pet clinic. It was after hours on a weekend and while in the waiting room, Savage was on MSGOP, this was back when he had a show, I was appalled after only a few minutes of listening to his right wing crappola. I had no choice but to sit and listen to this bs, as my furkid was very sick and I couldn't go outside to wait. It was sickening! Not one person save for me, seemed to be put off by the Savage Weiner. :shrug: Well this is Texas bush country, so what did I expect? :yoiks:

12. I'm glad that you and your doggie survived.
That had to be awful if I compared it to my few minutes of Savage hatred. Do you think there would have been an uprising if you had asked to change the channel to something less offensive?

4. Check him out on Amazon
Look him up, you get a listing of titles that include:

1. Liberalism is a Mental Disorder : Savage Solutions -- by Michael Savage; Hardcover

2. The Enemy Within: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Schools, Faith, and Military -- by Michael Savage; Hardcover

This about tells me all I ever need to know about Mr. Sewage...

7. Those sound terrible
I was firing from the hip, but told him that books by savage and the likes of coulter were being bought up and burned by some rich righties so they appear to be Best sellers. :puke:

14. No hypocrisy here. :sarcasm:
Whatever Mr. Flower-studying-Vietnam-avoiding-piece-of-shit.

BTW, Savage, what's up with Ginsberg?? I heard from the grapevine that he was a lib. You stupid fuck.


:crazy:

5. Savage is a cartoonish little troll
The worst of the worst. He's almost performance art, that's how crazy he sounds.

In fact, it has been suggested that since he used to be liberal, and used to dabble with a character very much like his radio persona, that this is all just an act.

Wouldn't that be glorious if he'd rip the mask off some day, and freak the shit out of his listeners. "Fooled ya!"

I can dream.

8. I don't know what kind of liberal this freak could be?
His hate filled radio show was so revolting, the 2 minutes that I heard, that I was ready to call the FCC. Shows like that should be censored and I don't like censoring. My friends mind now appears to be mush and I don't know if he will ever get his senses back.
:nopity:

9. the hate-radios guys have peaked
they've crested. It's now downhill time. Some will remain on the air and be profitable. But they've saturated their markets. Too many pigs lined up at the trough. They're jockeying for position now. And turning on each other.
Sit back and enjoy.
A few will be working at Wal-Mart soon.

10. I'd actually go to Walmart...
if I could walk in and see Rush working as a greeter. He's probably get a discount on his oxycodine there too! :)

11. You mean the meltdown is coming?
I might actually go to Walmart too if they had a box the clown thing for Rushbo or be able to throw baseballs at the Savage. They could even expand this to a dunk tank of tar and feathers for the top criminals like dubby and dicky.

13. Hate radio..
... is nothing but cheap entertainment with messages tailored to be easily assimilated "hell yeah" moments to the stupid and disaffected in society, which comprises an unfortunately large percentage of the population.

Don't think for a second that Rush, Savage, most of them believe a fucking word they are saying, they are crafting a message that sounds good as long as you don't think about it much and as long as you are ready to blame everyone else in the country for the fact that you are a fucktard loser.

All they care about is getting listeners. When a liberal message can get the same number of listeners, they could (almost all anyway) flip to our side and sound just as persuasive.

This is all about careers, all about money, all about ratings. Don't forget that.

15. I know what you are saying
I just can't see Rush or Savage switching sides. They might try if the money was right, but something has to be truly wrong with their hearts. I haven't heard my buddy get this hateful before. He has worked for years without paying any taxes, yet had the gall to bitch about taxes.
I told him once that he should quit complaining about taxes if he doesn't pay any. That shut him up for a while, but now it is seeming more evil. Total hatred for muslims and some sort of Arian Nations type of isolation and hatred for anyone outside of America.

17. I guess....
... I'd better make my point this way... I don't think Rush is going to switch sides. But I also don't think he actually believes half the shit he says either. It is all a performance, simple as that :)
