Michael Weiner aka Michael Savage ... complain to his sponsors
Okay, in the http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x636071} Taking aim at Glenn Beck ... contact the sponsors}, I discussed who is sponsoring Glenn Beck. I mentioned that someone I know, Antirepublican did a little research on the sponsors of that host. Now, he has done a bit more but on Michael Weiner aka Michael Savage at http://unfilterednewsnetwork.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=16181">Michael Weiner aka Savage sponsors.....file your complaints. over at the http://unfilterednewsnetwork.com/phpBB3/index.php">Unfiltered News Network message board.[br />
(Always give people credit for their ideas and research, as it shows respect and intellectual honesty.)

Michael Weiner aka Savage sponsors.....file your complaints.

I know this is time consuming but.....kicking ass takes time and energy. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Sponsor list:

http://www.swissamerica.com/contact.php">Swiss America Trading Corporation
http://talkradionetwork.com/corporatecontacts;jsessionid=257DABD30BFCE8EFFFDFC3BFA5AA04D9">Talk Radio Network

Talk Radio Network hosts several wingnut America haters so, I will include their sponsors:
http://www.dmiusa.com/Email.html">Digital Media Inc. USA
https://www.gotomypc.com/en_US/generalFeedback.tmpl?_sid=195379960%3A0A8B7D2DAE6045C">GoToMyPC They had ads on Beck's site as well.
http://home.proflowers.com/cfm/contactus.cfm">Pro Flowers
http://www.quickenloans.com/about/contact_us.html">Quicken Loans

Here is a list of Radio stations that host Weiner (scroll down)...I suggest emailing the first 5 or 10 (more would be better) and voicing your complaint. Or pick out a station close to you. But concentrating our complaints to the same 5-10 stations will have more and better effect.

And for sources of Weiner's spew go here:

http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/michaelsavage">Media Matters

Weiner does not have many direct sponsors so I will delve into some of the stations and find consistent advertisers during his shows.

Whoooa....I just found this:

Father: Benjamin Weiner (antiques dealer, d.)
Mother: Rae Weiner (d. 2003)
Sister: Sheila Weiner-Rozzo
Brother: Jerome Weiner (d.)
Wife: Carol Ely (m. 1964, div. 1967, two abortions)
Wife: Janet A. Weiner (CFO, Rockstar Energy Drink)
Son: Russell Goldencloud Weiner (CEO, Rockstar Energy Drink, b. 1970)
Daughter: Rebecca Lin Weiner Yops (school teacher, b. circa 1977)

http://www.rockstar69.com/distribution.html">Contact Rockstar

(I believe antirepublican used the reference on the Notable Names Database on http://www.nndb.com/people/588/000044456/">Michael Savage)

Another person on the thread I referenced, aerisgainsborough, also noted the following:

On the February 1, 2007 show of The Savage Nation, Michael Savage drops the "F" bomb:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSabsmBm3Fo">Michael Savage, February 1, 2007 (Warning: Obscenity included on the clip.)

So, time to get active and see if we can make a difference. At the very least, we can make our displeasure known to the sponsors. Savage has already lost a TV Job, so maybe we can convince a few advertisers and stations to not support his hate.

5. The Republican party, complain to THEIR Sponsors
at http://www.dmocrats.org

http://endthewar.dmocrats.org

As much as Michael Savage acts like a hater, the Republican party acts much much worse especially in the last 12 years.

4. It is even worse
Here is the irony. After Chicago lost its first AAR station, WIND AM 560 was available but Salem -- one of the top conservative outfits -- bought it. If someone friendly to progressive talk gobbled it up, Chicago would have a progressive talk station whose position and signal strength would cause it to act like a 50,000 watt blow torch. Mind you WCPT AM 850 with a much weaker signal and limited hours is tied with them in the ratings. Now, if we only had a better full time station.

Personally, I like to refer to a certain host as the Savage Weiner.

3. we should be complaining about Lionel while we're at it
sure, he's nowhere near as bad as Savage, but he's daid some pretty hateful, bigoted stuff and now Air America (for fuck's sake) is putting him on the air
