(For all who don't know who Michael Savage is: he's a conservative Republican who is a radio talker/writer, and is based in California) I personally think he rocks. I am almost finished with his newest book: "The Political Zoo." Please state your opinions, good or bad of the man.

Is he Fred Savage's brother?

ewewewew!

Well.. to be fair, what are his views on.. stuff?

"Fred Savage?" Please, who is he?:confused:

He's an American and an Republican. What more is there to say?

"Fred Savage?" Please, who is he?:confused:

The Wonder Years?

The one who got his TV show cancelled when he yelled at a caller that he should get AIDS and die? The one who blames everything on gays, leftists and, well, everyone else but his own ilk? That idiot?

Isn't it great!

Well he HATES "The Terminator", California's Gov. He is not fond of a lot of Republicans, and thinks Bush is so-so but is to NICE.

Have you ever listened to his radio show?

No, that's Ben Savage you're thinking of. Ya know, Cory on Boy Meets World.

As for Michael...conservative Republican. Not sounding all that good to me.

just think of whatever a stereotypical (bordering on parody) racist, sexist, homophobe, or fascist might say on any given topic.

I still can't believe that his home radio station is in San Francisco. And to call him a conservative Republican is to add further insult to conservative Republicans everywhere. I don't use the term fascist very often, because it's often misused, but Savage is a fascist.

Have you ever listened to his radio show?

Very briefly, before deciding that listening to someone so stupid was, well, stupid.

*looks at Fass's post*

I don't like him. Sowwie.

And then go about two miles to the right of that.

Savage is awesome.

He is extreme, but anyone worth listening to usually is.

He has been bashing Bush as of late so anyone who says he is a Republican is horribly misinformed.




Do I agree with everything he says, of course not.

But his show is awesome.



I know his last name is wiener.

i find michael savage to be annoyingly stupid

i dont hear his show very often but now and them im in the car late in the evening with the husband and he loves to turn to that station just so he can hear me rant. its sorta like turning the fire on under the tea kettle. just sit back and wait for the steam

the best thing about michael savage is knowing that his real name is michael wiener and that its funny no matter if his name is pronounced "weener" or "whiner"

And then go about two miles to the right of that.
You're making me sick :(

*just says "no" to Savage*

Well.. teacher thinks I'm at the nurse.. I should hurry back since I've been gone 20 minutes..

He has been bashing Bush as of late so anyone who says he is a Republican is horribly misinformed.

when dear leader turns out to be utterly incompetent, why wouldn't the movement fash turn on him and work to elevate a new dear leader to take his place?

Republicans aren't allowed to disagree with the president :confused:


oh, and he is hilarious, although sometimes rather scary. I think he really doesn't believe most of that stuff and just likes to bother people. (and that helps me sleep at night, so don't go an ruin my safe place where Michael Savage is a troll)


oh, but he scares my kids, so I don't get to listen to him often when they are in the car.

Yes it's all a lavish conspiracy.

He'll be taking the plane that never hit the Pentagon into washington D.C. this morning for his secret Skull and Bones meeting.

No, that's Ben Savage you're thinking of. Ya know, Cory on Boy Meets World.

Oh, yeah. I remember now. Never heard of this Michael guy.

Well, once you have taken so many trips to San-Fran, and heard so many blasted liberals you gotta love the guy. I hate welfare, so does he. I hate foreign aid (which is essentially welfare) so does he. I think Muslums/Moslums/Muslims need a lesson (those twits and their cartoons, and to think I SERIOUSLY considered converting to those lamebos...nothing agaist any Moslims here of course, but MAN they really need to stop with this stupidity) so does he. He's opened my eyes politicaly speaking.

I've no doubt that digesting such shit probably is an eye-opener.

I think most of those ranting guys on radio and tv are just trolling for an audience. And they can be fun, in a Jesussaves kind of way.

On the other hand, I prefer my radio shows much sillier, like the one where they have a "Smell my finger" contest.

I tend to avoid people who are so completely unpleasant. So I will go with the chowderhead choice in the poll.

By the way, you obviously should have included a "Who the heck is Michael Savage?" choice on your poll, based on the posts above.

he makes Rush Limbaugh look like a genius

its one thing to be against welfare and foreign aid and moslem extremists but he is so UGLY about it. he makes my skin crawl

but besides that, how can you stand his constant crap about how great HE is and how smart he is and how many degrees he has and how they shouldnt let kayakers into sanfrancisco bay because mike might be out there on his boat and thats just too much of a burden for him?

rush limbaugh is a learned gentleman compared to him.

who isn't bashing Bush?

While I find Savage's views on homosexuality abhorrent, I respect him for attacking the scourge of leftism, and at least he criticizes President Smirk, which a lot of other Republicans won't do.

just think of whatever a stereotypical (bordering on parody) racist, sexist, homophobe, or fascist might say on any given topic.

How is he racist, sexist, or fascist? Oh, I forgot. Leftists call all people they don't like those things.

"Internment was right for the Japanese and it is right for today."

“The White Race is being snuffed off the planet through immigration.”

"In fact, Christianity has been one of the great salvations on planet Earth. It's what's necessary in the Middle East. Others have written about it, I think these people need to be forcibly converted to Christianity but I'll get here a little later, I'll move up to that. It's the only thing that can probably turn them into human beings. ... Because these primitives can only be treated in one way, and I don't think smallpox and a blanket is good enough incidentally. Just before -- I'm going to give you a little precursor to where I'm going. Smallpox in a blanket, which the U.S. Army gave to the Cherokee Indians on their long march to the West, was nothing compared to what I'd like to see done to these people."

" And eventually you're gonna find that we need more of the humiliation tactics, not less. ... I don't know what its gonna take for you to finally welcome what the troops are doing, what the interrogators were doing until you finally recognize the enemy, the true face of the enemy and what its gonna take to break this death grip that they seem to have on the minds of the Democrats.

These people live only for their honor, and so the only thing you can withhold from them is their honor. There is the answer as to why you see these graphic pictures. These are not a few individuals who made this up. That's crap. That's crap in my opinion. This came from the top. And how high up it goes I don't know but frankly I commend them for it. It's wise intelligence techniques, to break the enemy where he's vulnerable, not try to get him where he's strong.

And I think there should be no mercy shown to these sub-humans. I believe that a thousand of them should be killed tomorrow. I think a thousand of them held in the Iraqi prison should be given 24 hour -- a trial and executed. I think they need to be shown that we are not going to roll over to them. It won't happen. It won't happen because of the CBS Communists. It won't happen because of the CNN traitors. I won't happen because of the MSNBC empty heads. And we the people are the ones who are going to suffer today."

And so on, and so on...

From the May 12: Savage Nation: Right now, even people sitting on the fence would like George Bush to drop a nuclear weapon on an Arab country. They don't even care which one it would be. I can guarantee you -- I don't need to go to Mr. Schmuck [pollster John] Zogby and ask him his opinion. I don't need anyone's opinion. I'll give you my opinion, because I got a better stethoscope than those fools. It's one man's opinion based upon my own analysis. The most -- I tell you right now -- the largest percentage of Americans would like to see a nuclear weapon dropped on a major Arab capital. They don't even care which one. They'd like an indiscriminate use of a nuclear weapon.
In fact, Christianity has been one of the great salvations on planet Earth. It's what's necessary in the Middle East. Others have written about it, I think these people need to be forcibly converted to Christianity but I'll get here a little later, I'll move up to that.

Smallpox in a blanket, which the U.S. Army gave to the Cherokee Indians on their long march to the West, was nothing compared to what I'd like to see done to these people, just so you understand that I'm not going to be too intellectual about my analysis here in terms of what I would recommend, what Doc Savage recommends as an antidote to this kind of poison coming out of the Middle East from these non-humans.





Fass: You beat me to it.

I take back whatever praise I had for this pusillanimous jackass.

:upyours: Savage, you bastard, you deserve your name.

"Savage" is an appropriate name for this putz.

Yes it's all a lavish conspiracy.

He'll be taking the plane that never hit the Pentagon into washington D.C. this morning for his secret Skull and Bones meeting.

wtf? how is that even tangentially related to what i said?

Calling him "fascist" is too kind. Nazi would be better.

I, a Conservative, believe that Micheal Savage is a douche.

(For all who don't know who Michael Savage is: he's a conservative Republican who is a radio talker/writer, and is based in California) I personally think he rocks. I am almost finished with his newest book: "The Political Zoo." Please state your opinions, good or bad of the man.
Actually he's an Independent Conservative, he cant stand Repubs now!

He just says it how it is!
Unfortunatly the truth is much too harsh for the liberals "virgin" ears! ;)
Since when have we become such a nation of wimps and sissies?
San Fran-Freako is putting it mildly. loL!

You mean that moderate guy? Meh... he's got the right idea, but by far isn't taking it far enough. We should torture all gays, non-WASPs, and liberals into extinction, then nuke their homelands to cleanse the world forever from these vile scourges! Then we should nuke other planets so the Earth will rule the universe, the supreme and only race! Bwa-ha-ha!!!!

'Savage formerly hosted a television program on MSNBC but was fired after he called a caller a "sodomite" and told him to "get AIDS and die."'

He doesn't "say it how it is." Did you even bother reading Fass's post? The man is literally a fascist. He called for the mass genocide of 100 million Muslims, and the forcible conversion of the rest to Christianity. He told a caller (believing him to be a homosexual) to "choke on a sausage and die."
Michael Savage is one of the most despicable people ever to tarnish the face of the Earth. It's not a matter of it being "too harsh" for our "virgin ears." It's a matter of him spouting ignorant, and frankly dangerous trash, stuff the vast majority of Americans would find utterly appalling, to his pet audience (who I really worry about, by the way).

If I were as much of a fascist as Savage, this would be the point where I'd suggest he be summarily executed, but I'm no fascist, so I just hope people turn his goddamn show off. Kill his ego, maybe then he'll go away.

Oh, yes...he really is a charming fellow.

He gives conservatives a bad name, but what the hell, Bush does too.

You see, I'm a liberal, and I state it proudly, but I have many very good friends who are REAL conservatives, not the whacko, nut jobs that dominate the American Republican party now.

So tell me please, my conservative friends, just when did YOUR PARTY LEAVE YOU BEHIND? Mine left me a long time ago.

Michael Savage is raving lunatic given a microphone and how in the hell anyone can tolerate the sick little bastard is beyond me. A long time ago a crank like him wouldn't even have been given 2 minutes of air time to spew his vile screed across our precious bandwidth. What sort of sick nation allows the Savages, Ann Coulter's and Dr. Laura Ingraham licence to spew their invective upon a gullible and deliberately kept ignorant public? Hmm?

The man makes me ill.

Please tell me you are joking to make a point...
No, I really, truly, honestly believe we should perform the mass genocide of 99.9% of most of humanity immediately. :rolleyes:

"savage" is the fake name he made up for himself because he was ashamed of his family name, "wiener."

The most accurate way to write his name is 'Michael "Savage" Wiener'

Sorry. I automatically assumed everyone has spent enough time here to know my political views. Or, you know, figure it out from looking at my nation.

But then who am I to assume?... :sigh:

"Savage" is an appropriate name for this putz.
If it were actually his name. He isn't even *THAT* honourable.
So all you folks know he used to hang out with Allen Ginsburg, right?
That his "medicinal" degree was the one he got skipping out on the islands, picking plants? You know how important botany is to defending the U.S. against communism and all.
He had some funny things to say about arses and cameras with Allen Ginsburg.
I've posted it before, i may again.
He's a puppet. A pathetic, miserable, drunkard misanthrope who can't steer a boat clear of a shoal, and who would gladly trade humanity for the loyalty of one of his small dogs. And we'd all be waking up to, marching to, and going to sleep to Sousa marches and laments about his mother and what he eats if it were up to him.
He needs to end.

"savage" is the fake name he made up for himself because he was ashamed of his family name, "wiener."

The most accurate way to write his name is 'Michael "Savage" Wiener'
*props*
Should i put my post ref's to that?
Ah, i ain't got that kinda time.

Hehe, I love his show. It comes on before Phil Valentine's show in Nashville, so it's solid awesomeness for the afternoon. He makes some crazy statements and pisses off a bunch of people, but the Republicans need someone to parallel freakin' Al Franken. The Democrats can't have all of the crazies.

Michael Savage and Ann Coulter would make the perfect couple. A match in Heaven...or, rather, Hell. :eek:

Is he Fred Savage's brother?

No. Savage isn't his real name. I don't remember what it is, but as a gay man preaching to a right-wing audience he knew that hypocrisy wouldn't bite him in the ass, but he needed a name that didn't sound like he might be a sane human being or something.

So he borrowed a name that was butch and manly from the Village Voice's gay advice columnist.

Michael Savage and Ann Coulter would make the perfect couple. A match in Heaven...or, rather, Hell. :eek:

If he weren't gay and she weren't really a man...

Oh. I see where you were going there.

Micheal Joseph Savage was one of New Zealands most influential Primeministers and declared war on Germany in a kick arse way.

Don't like him one bit, but he is actually intelligent (if extremely right-wing). However, many conservatives don't like him - I once heard this awful chewing out of Michael Savage by Shayna Medved, daughter of political commentator Michael Medved (I used to go to school with her).

Ah geeze, my finger slipped. I think Michael Savage is a total scum-bag, and if he has ever been right about anything, I'm sure it was accidental.

:mp5: Just another right-wing neocon who talks out of his ass, al a Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh. A self important dinosaur completely out of touch.

Right!!! right wing!!!
He was a Liberal!:eek:

I think we should nuke his ass. I betcha that if you asked a majority of Americans which ass of his we should nuke, they wouldn't really care. They just want to see some indiscriminate deployment of nukes against one of Micheal Savage's ass.

Would that be the one on his shoulders?

Would that be the one on his shoulders?

Meh. That wouldn't do any good. We should use it against the one where his legs join to his body. That way he won't be able to sit. Or stand. He'll be stuck doing one or the other forever and ever.

Hehe, I love his show. It comes on before Phil Valentine's show in Nashville, so it's solid awesomeness for the afternoon. He makes some crazy statements and pisses off a bunch of people, but the Republicans need someone to parallel freakin' Al Franken. The Democrats can't have all of the crazies.

I have heard both of these men speak in person and on the radio.

Al Franken is, in horse racing language, several furlongs ahead of Savage in the sanity department.

Michael Savage is a waste of biological material, he is human excrement with a microphone.

Conservative "entertainment" is Rush Limbaugh. I don't agree with the bastard, but he is funny and entertaining on occasion. Savage is nasty, hurtful and a complete shithead who will likely come to a bad end.

JC

Oh, he's a great guy to listen too! All the best of Contemporary American Christian Values!

Like this one: (http://mediamatters.org/items/200604190001)

On April 17, nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage called for "kill[ing] 100 million" Muslims and referred to the woman who alleged she was raped by members of Duke University's lacrosse team as a "drunken slut stripping whore."

On his radio show, Savage told listeners that "intelligent people, wealthy people ... are very depressed by the weakness that America is showing to these psychotics in the Muslim world. They say, 'Oh, there's a billion of them.' " Savage continued: "I said, 'So, kill 100 million of them, then there'd be 900 million of them.' I mean ... would you rather us die than them?" Savage added: "Would you rather we disappear or we die? Or would you rather they disappear and they die? Because you're going to have to make that choice sooner rather than later."

Savage also referred to the alleged Duke rape victim as "a drunken slut stripping whore accusing men of raping her when there is absolutely no evidence of such a rape other than what comes out of that filthy mouth of hers." He later asked: "What kind of system do we have that anyone can scream rape and not have to show her face?" adding, "This is all the product of the out-of-control lesbian feminist movement."


Or, like last year (http://mediamatters.org/items/200501050006) where he was clear on how much the US should care about the suffering after the tsunami:


During nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage's December 31 broadcast -- his first since the December 26 tsunami resulting from an earthquake in Southeast Asia -- Savage said that the tsumani was "not a tragedy" and that the United States should not be sending any aid to the affected countries because they are "hotbeds of radical Islam." Savage added: "We shouldn't be spending a nickel on this, as far as I'm concerned. ... I am sick of being bled to death by every damn incident on the earth."


Yep, it's people like him that help remind the world what it is that America really stands for.....

Yep, it's people like him that help remind the world what it is that America really stands for.....
...except now all I can remember is, he's got an extra ass just there, above his chin. Ahhhh, six of one half a dozen of the other. America, we salute you!

So he borrowed a name that was butch and manly from the Village Voice's gay advice columnist.
:D
*repeat*

Ah geeze, my finger slipped. I think Michael Savage is a total scum-bag, and if he has ever been right about anything, I'm sure it was accidental.
He's completely and utterly wrong and/or misinformed about stem cells, for one.
He also apparently has a big problem with his past, and accuses anyone ELSE who has any similarity to his own past as the "libruhls" that are destroying America.

On the same run of announcers, i'm gonna post the name of "Rusty Humphries". See if that name garners any flowery feelings. I heard the guy's show today, and how his intro song was basically an SNL-ripoff that repeats his own name several times ....
Maybe self-parody. I would hope so for a glimmer of self-respect.

All of these were produced by Humphries in his prior incarnation—10 years doing jingles and comedy for radio stations. Rusty boasts he’s written more radio morning show jingles than anyone alive.

...
Born 60 years ago in the Bronx, Weiner has lived in Northern California for most of his adult life, making a living as an herbalist and nutritionist. He communed with Fijian traditional healers, got married in a rain forest and studied ethno-medicine at the University of California at Berkeley. He swam naked with Allen Ginsberg, dreamed of being the next Lenny Bruce and wrote a rambling novel about a half-mad alter ego. His son's middle name is Goldencloud. For years, he made a name cranking out a pile of books on alternative medicine, recommending bizarre remedies such as using vitamin C to stop AIDS and kicking cocaine with coffee enemas.
...
For example, in "Plant a Tree: a Guide to Regreening America," Weiner wrote dreamily about our "plant allies" and suggested that every state appoint its own "tree czar." "Dictators seem to like trees," he ruminated. "Who knows what a benevolent, nature-loving tyrant might do for the retreeing of America?" In "The Way of the Skeptical Nutritionist," he ventured that a person's ideal diet should be determined by his or her ethnicity. "Getting Off Cocaine: 30 Days to Freedom" promised blow addicts "an alternative plan for getting 'high' -- legally and naturally!" The treatment involved ingesting a daily cocktail of Sudafed, vitamins C and E, and amino acids, as well as self-administering the occasional coffee enema. "Use a good quality coffee," Weiner advised. "Not decaffeinated or instant."
--

I hope this post is in good nature to this thread.

Let's not forget what got him kicked off of television. Wishing on air for pole smoking faggots to get aids and die. or something...I don't remember the exact quote but that was close.

Erm, "sausage-choking" something-or-others.
He's a sweety, alright.

*from same article:*
Michael Savage's homophobic rants against what he calls "anal rights" were foreshadowed by the 1986 book "Maximum Immunity." In it, Weiner glommed onto some of the wilder ideas about AIDS that were circulating at the time. He called for mandatory nationwide AIDS testing and suggested using massive doses of vitamin C to slow down and even reverse the disease's progress.
...
This maniacal tendency, and the roiling emotions that fueled it, were laid bare in "Vital Signs," Michael Weiner's first and only book of fiction, published in 1983. A collection of confessional, stream-of-consciousness stories, it follows the exploits of Samuel Trueblood, who just happens to be a 40-ish New York Jew, an herbalist and writer with a tumultuous personal life, a substantial assortment of inner demons and a bit of a Napoleon complex. "I am physically not tall, but my eyes burn with fire," he states. "Two black fires of Hell." Trueblood narrates a series of misadventures, from procuring an illegal backroom abortion for his fiancée to beating the stuffing out of an abusive cop.

Trueblood describes his life as one long search for inner peace. He blames much of his discontent on his "childhood beneath tyranny," during which he was cowed by his bullying father. Trueblood describes how his father mocked him with "brutal jokes and chides, 'gentle' kidding: 'You're not a (***), are you Sam?' the little man would say each time the boy dared wear a colorful shirt or flashy trousers." Unable to shake his dead father's disapproving influence, the adult Samuel is tortured by feelings of weakness and inadequacy. "I am filled with fears," he admits, "nearly all the time feeling I am about to become totally insane."

Even after moving to mellow Marin County, becoming a successful herbalist and starting a family, Trueblood remains plagued by his "underlying sadness." Not even trusty passionfruit tea can bring him off this bummer. In one passage, he almost loses it in front of his wife and two young children:

"Inner voice screaming at me for years, first rational, then crazy, telling me to do mad things. Every form of relief tried, painting, psychotherapy, running, diet, vitamins, etc., etc. Almost uncontrollable now. Impulses to stab children, strangers, wife, self with scissors."

Eventually, Trueblood seeks solace in chasing skirts. (Though he admits to being drawn to "masculine beauty," he confides that "I choose to override my desires for men when they swell in me, waiting out the passions like a storm, below decks.") While his wife stays home with the kids, he beds a young "c*ckswell" with a "(***-)ish haircut" and skin "[s]ofter than that Northern Indian prostitute in Fiji whose covering was as soft as that of my own penis." And so it goes for another 50 pages.

wow now he just needs a heart...quick follow the yellow brick road the wizard can give him one.

How appropriate. He's already synonymous with "Strawman".













*low-five!*

Thats funny, becuase the PM of NZ in the (early) 20th Century had the same name. Except everyone loved him, and he was in Labour.

As seems more and more clear, he's the sheep in wolf's clothing.

So he borrowed a name that was butch and manly from the Village Voice's gay advice columnist.

If you're talking about Dan Savage, my household god, he is The Stranger's (http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Home) advice columnist and editor. The Village Voice just syndicates.

Let's slow down for a second and clear a few things up.

Michael "Savage" Weiner is NOT a Republican. He is a registered independent.

His name is NOT pronounced "weener", it's "vai-ner". Though, admittedly, the former is quite amusing.

Savage is NOT a neoconservative, he's a paleoconservative. This is easily seen in his stances on illegal aliens, as well as his isolationistic tendencies. He does not believe in "nation building", like so many of the Republicans and neocons do.

I don't agree with everything the man says, but i admire his energy. Very few among those labeled conservatives dare voice the root causes and effects of the alien crisis, and even fewer will openly insult Dubya. I would question how many of those who voted in this poll were foreign (especially European).

Lastly, the claims that he's homosexual or bisexual don't phase me much, whether true or not. I cannot express in words my apathy for what folks do behind closed doors. He does not express hate for homosexuals as a whole, but merely the homosexual political movements and the "gay marriage" agenda. He has had perfectly pleasent and reasonable conversations with many homosexual callers. Besides, have you ever seen the man's wife?

Expecting a flame war within hours...

Expecting a flame war within hours...Well, i don't see a flamewar exactly, since that was largely reasonable as a post.
I haven't seen his wife. Anything like Quayle's wife? Are you saying that in sympathy for a man to be more attracted to a man? ;)
And he does very clearly express a personal problem with the lifestyle as he does with "the agenda".

She's pretty hot, find a pic if you can. Blonde, too.

Savage does indeed express disapproval and sometimes disgust toward the common homosexual "lifestyle", as do I. That does not mean that he wants them all lynched, burned, massacred, or sent to prison camps in Alaska. I don't like rap music either. Does that imply that I would want it made illegal, or that I would berate those who listen to it (at a reasonable volume)?

Trophy?

I can say that, as evidenced earlier in the thread, he does advocate suspension of personal liberties to an invasive and fascist extent, regardless as to whether he is just dealing with repressed personal issues. A lot of people who desire his influence as a prominence in their moral and/or ethical fibre are the people who really don't seem to be making the discernment you're asking about. That is why he's had some venue restricted to him (as with Schlessinger, obviously).

Ok, name a specific statement of his that you regard as "fascist", and we'll talk about it.

Oh, and your spelling. What's your nationality?

I should add that i'm often vexed by attempting to find an online database of his quotes. You'd think, with his popularity, there'd be one. Must be those lawyers he bitches about having something to do with it. :D

Oh, and your spelling. What's your nationality?Ah, two points. Only Brian's Room brought that up before.
I'm a U.S. citizen, born & raised. And, although weathered, i'm still proud of it.

The term "fascist" has been thrown around by communists, their sympathizers, and hippies for decades. You're going to have to give me a specific statement to respond to on that one. He's been on the air for ten years, and said a lot of things. Covering all of them would give me an aneurysm.

Spelling words like center and fiber as "centre" and "fibre" is very British. Lately, this form of spelling has been used in the United States as a political statement, generally in favor of internationalism/globalism. Using it says a good deal about where you're coming from.

The guy is about as stupid, irrational, screwed-up, and xenophobic as its possible to be and not exist in a Hitler-identical state of psychosis. Or perhaps he does have a Hitler complex - it would fit.

Why do I have a feeling someone is going to call us Anti-Semitic for opposing Micheal Savage?

Actually if you watched his last TV show it appears he would like them all to die painfully. Don't think he mentioned Alaska though.

is he jewish....wow

Yes, he's of Jewish decent. We're not all Lenin-hailing reds, believe it or not.

You know I think people named Savage have a problem...just look at the french villain on Johnny English...Savages are bad news.

Well, i lament your faculties, then. Try earlier in the thread.
As for "terms", perhaps it's just as useful and "accurate" a term as "liberal", given your idea there.

I'll help .... i like long walks on the beach, the sound of a light rain on a tin roof, petting kitty cats.
I don't like perpetual frowners, drunk drivers, n'er do-wells, poor hygiene, global strife, penny-pinchers and federal criminals!

Now analyze my handwriting.
