Michael Savage Mocks Ted Kennedy Tumor

Even Ted Kennedy's political enemies spoke kindly of him when they learned that he had a malignant brain tumor.

But not conservative talk show host Michael Savage. As a form of "respect" to Kennedy on his syndicated talk show Tuesday, Savage played The Dead Kennedy's "California Uber Alles" - get it? Ho ho, the wit! Oh, and he dropped in a couple of "Kindergarten Cop" sound clips of the Arnold Schwarzenegger character saying, "It's not a tumor."

1. Remember when VP Gore laid down the law against ridiculing Reagan's Alzheimer's?

That was class.

Too bad class is in such short supply.

[Parche]

2. He should be strung up by his nads

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

:hi:

[LaurenG]

7. I think that's his problem, he doesn't have any.

3. What a weiner. nt

Well done!

[Judi Lynn]

4. Monday he played and replayed sound clip of Senator Robert Byrd crying about Ted Kennedy's illness.

Some kind of class, right-wingers.

Scum.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. If memory serves, there was no gloating over Lee Atwater's brain tumor

despite all the despicable acts he committed on behalf of Reagan and Bush #41.

[JaneQPublic]

14. Nor over Tony Snow's cancer (nt)

[ReformedChris]

46. Democrats were class with that, Atwater even apologized and repented in the end

Its amazing how much hate Savage has for a person that was a Doctor charged with the care of people. He is utter trash.

[Supersedeas]

48. don't expect apologies from the new breed of Repig filth

[dipsydoodle]

6. Bad taste

but then what would you expect.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

I hate to imagine what type of following he has that sees this as acceptable

There are some really vile people wandering this earth.

[MaineDem]

9. Savage is lower than dog shit in my opinion

And that's impugning dog shit!

[maxrandb]

19. Use Navy Terminology

"He's lower than whale shit, and that settles on the bottom of the ocean floor"

[matt007]

10. NEVER expect these people to have class. Or to show our side compasson EVER

[Mad_Dem_X]

11. Typical RW hate-radio a**hole

I knew the hate-radio sleazebags would joke about this situation.

[monmouth]

12. For the most part even the FReepers showed respect, offered prayers and good wishes..n/t

[Demonaut]

40. took awhile, they had to restart the thread three times because

many were posting vile comments...at least the mods had some sense of compassion and taste.

[lurky]

13. I want to know who listens to that show,

so that I can stay the fuck away from them.

I'm sure Savage is just another opportunist who found a lucrative gig appealing to listeners' worst instincts.

However, I think his audience is deranged, stupid, and easy to manipulate. In other words, dangerous.

[jeanruss]

21. sad

sadly, a friend of mine is a listener. I have told her how appalling his show is, but she likes it. This friend is a retired English teacher, pro-Bush person, who in other ways is thoughtful and kind. I think she is very fearful and is being manipulated by it. It has also recently come to light that she is also a racist. She loathes Obama and has quit associating with an old friend of hers who is an Obama supporter. When she found out I voted for Obama in the primary, I know she was unhappy. It is sad for us to watch her change before our eyes. She is not stupid or uneducated, just racist and afraid of change, like many older people. This election is turning out to be a contest between the generations.

[bigworld]

22. I want to know who ADVERTISES on that show.

[truthisfreedom]

15. Piece of shit.

I hope he gets cancer.

[bitchkitty]

16. In a sane world, this man would be shunned by all. n/t

[lib2DaBone]

17. Just for you Michael

Here ya go Michael... Tony Snow wants you to have this

[dhill926]

18. anyone have a list of his sponsors? n/t

[bigworld]

23. Here's a list

according to nosavage.org

# Wyeth Consumer Healthcare (Chapstick, Advil, Robitussin, Centrum) [phone]
# Stamps.com
# USO (Support the troops) [phone] *
# USDA (MyPyramid.gov) [phone] *

* USO is a non-profit organization that does not pay for its PSA's to air. Although it claims to have no control over when its advertisements air, it has refused to even request that its ads not run during the Michael Savage show.

[chill_wind]

24. Thanks for finding and posting that. n/t

[puerco-bellies]

25. Am I correct in believing that it is mostly tax dollars buying his air time?

I would not be at all surprised.

[bigworld]

26. local ads vary on each station

I think the USDA and USO ads are public service announcements (free airtime). Probably a more effective tactic would be to find out who's advertising locally.

But definitely contact Wyeth and tell them (politely) that advertising on a show that makes fun of someone's cancer probably isn't the best approach.

[swimmernsecretsea]

27. Yes, thanks for posting this. nt.

[jmowreader]

30. He's sponsored by Chapstick? Figures...

He's got to keep those lips soft and supple so his kisses won't mar Shrub's tender ass.

[Prophet 451]

20. That's because he's an evil, evil bastard

Anyone else remember when he expressed his regrets that Bill Clinton had come through minor surgery (I forget what for) without dying?

[grace0418]

28. No surprise. I hope we all get to witness karma biting him in the ass in a big way.

I hope whatever karmic retribution he's bringing on himself happens in public for everyone to see.

[LynnTheDem]

29. A fine demonstration of rightwing "class" and "family values".

[BlueStater]

31. Real fucking funny, asshole

Ever think that maybe your little "joke" is offensive not just to Ted Kennedy but to everyone who has ever lived or died from a tumor? I just hope you or someone you care about never has to go through anything like that.

[superconnected]

33. That imbecile doesn't think.

[superconnected]

32. What a classless idiot.

[d_b]

34. jello biafra

should dropkick that fat fuck in the face.

[Forkboy]

39. Just thought the same thing.

[HughBeaumont]

42. He's probably going to go litigious on that no-neck bastard.

Jello would probably rather hear "California Uber Alles" in a Gap commercial than on a right-of-the-right radio show.

[Bensthename]

35. Michael Savage is the king of hate in hate radio..

Limpballs is a pussy cat fompared to Savage.

36. Religious group wants KCMO 710-AM to drop Michael Savage’s program

By EDWARD M. EVELD and LYNN FRANEY
The Kansas City Star

Bearing petitions and prayers, about 70 people gathered Sunday to protest the “hateful utterances” of national radio personality Michael Savage, whose talk show is carried locally by KCMO 710-AM.

Representatives from several faiths, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Sikhism, were meeting for the first time as the Interfaith Coalition Against Bigotry at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

The group has collected hundreds of signatures on petitions protesting Savage’s statements last fall, “which included a call to deport Muslims from the United States without due process of law,” the group said.

“We have become sometimes saddened and sometimes angered by what Michael Savage has said,” Arif Ahmad of the Islamic Center of Johnson County said Sunday. “We have to tell everyone, you become a star by bringing people together, not by dividing them.”

The group wants to see KCMO drop Savage’s show, the Savage Nation, put on a disclaimer saying the show’s views do not match those of the station, or give Muslims or interfaith groups air time to respond and explain Islam, said James Everett, a longtime interfaith activist in Kansas City.

[guitar man]

37. he should be ignored

these cretins like Savage schtick is to get "liberals panties in a knot" for the amusement of their mouth-breathing, knuckledragging audience. Savage is a piece of garbage with no talent or any redeeming features at all, so, he has to stoop the lowest in his quest to entertain his audience, which is also made up of the lowest.

The day he can no longer get a reaction to his vile spewings is the day he begins to go out of business. ;)

[FloridaJudy]

38. What a jerk!

No class. No class a-tall.

:mad:

[AwakeAtLast]

41. O. k., NOW can he be fired?

:wtf:

:grr: :nuke: :grr:

[Paladin]

43. Mr. Weiner, I Hope I Get The Chance To Piss On Your Grave (nt)

[Demonaut]

44. if it's a short illness I may not save enough of my urine to really douse

his grave....

[Dorian Gray]

45. He's just gross.....

Is anyone surprised about this?

[Bucky]

47. Was this not entirely predictable?
