    I’d have to agree with savage on this one.

    Levin is one of the only ones to mention him in their circle, but he does it in a pathetic, childish manner.

    • amy

      I can’t believe Savage is attacking Glen Beck. ( a hemorrhoid of some sort) Beck was the only one I know of that had him on his show after the autism shitstorm. Did I miss something?
      All of these talk show hosts DO need to stick together. They’re all going to be under serious attacks in the following months. Media Matters is watching and listening to everything they do.
      Levin and Savage go back in forth with each other. I can’t think of anything Savage calls Levin off of the top of my head. He calls Limbaugh and “the glofer”, Hannity “Wallbanger”. Savage just gets pissy because he 3rd and he thinks everyone ignores him, which is true to an extent.
      I do enjoy listening to him in the evenings by my fire pit. He is VERY upset right now because of this British fuckery. Rightly so. I’m a little aggravated with him right now though, because there’s so much going on right now that effects every American citizen, and he needs to be talking about those things. Instead, he talks for 3 hours about the British. It’s wearing him down. That’s why the other talkers need to come forward with support, and lot’s of it. What’s happening to Savage is one more chink in the sanity of Europe. That’s what we’re all trying to stop. If it’s in England now ( one of the older countries in the world, and our staunch allies), how much longer is it us? Especially with the “leaders” we have.
      So that’s my opinion of the subject, kind of long. Sorry about that.

  • ji

    I like Michael Savage and Limbaugh.
    Savage attacks anyone, nuff said.

  • Blade Runner

    Savage is full of shit.

  • Cold Dead Hands

    If Savage thinks talking shit about Rush will increase his own popularity then he’s absolutely lost his mind. At his best Savage is Double A ball, and on his worst day Rush Limbaugh is the Major Leagues.

    RUSH IS RIGHT!!!!

  • Phil Byler

    I disagree with Rush on a few issues, am put off by his attacks on McCain at a time when McCain has a conservative voting record and think that Rush is a bit too egocentric at times. BUT Savage is wrong: Rush is no fraud. Far to the contrary, Rush genuinely believes in a free economy requiring personal responsibility and in a free democratic political system, Rush’s political analysis of Obama and the Democrats is right on target and Rush’s cultural analysis is likewise right on target.

    • Steven D

      “… McCain has a conservative voting record…”

      Hahahahahahaha!

      I’m sorry, Phil, but I just can’t give you a free pass on that. Just to mention a few:
      - campaign finance reform
      - amnesty for illegal aliens
      - Bush tax cuts
      - Medicare Prescription Drugs
      - 2008 Stimulus Package
      - defining waterboarding as torture
      - Global Warming
      - Received contributions from George Soros
      - Against overturning Roe vs. Wade
      - Been in Congress since 1983

      Source: Congresspedia (http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=John_McCain)

      Whatever McCain is, he is NOT conservative.

    • Sgsaur

      I’m with you on that one, Steven D. :beer:

  • Ivan the Kafir

    Unless Limbaugh is playing backroom politics and cutting deals with libs, there is no reason for Savage to do this. It is sheer folly to put splits in the conservative movement. United we stand, divided we fall.

  • rightangle

    “None of you can say one lick of crap about Savage unless you got more PHDs and have written more books than he has! If you had a show all your own you can bet your ratings wouldn’t come close to what he has been getting! -I’m not yelling! This is how it is and how it is going to be, Damn it! Savage put George Bush in the White House for cryin’ out loud! Go gargle with Rogaine if you don’t like it!”

    On another note, I appreciate how one of Savages shows got a self proclaimed atheist friend of mine to admit he believed in God after the story of bum who’d humbly replied to Savage “I didn’t create myself.”

    • David Ross

      Rightangle book smart is great to a point and that is what Obama has as well. Some of the smartest people I’ve ever known did not get a PHD and some of the dumbest morons did. His degrees do not give him a free pass and it does not make his word gospel. I used to like Savage but he got to be more of a detriment to the cause than an attribute. Rush is undoubtedly an attribute.

    • rightangle

      Right on Dave. That first part was meant to be a sarcastic jab at how Savage treats a lot of callers. Now that I think about it, I hadn’t heard him pissed off enough to tell anyone to gargle anything for about five years.

      PHD? I bought mine at Home Depot…digs great holes for fence posts. Hey- BORDERS, language, culture. :gun: :beer:

    • Don’t bitch about the heat

      You and I know what degree Savage didn’t get. Human relations. He is a fire bomber. The only thing that keep this asshole on the air is attaching some one better known then him. Also his NY attitude gets very tiresome.

  • Bob

    Love him or hat him Rush started talk radio. Every talk show host owes Rush a big thank you.

  • j.b.

    Michael Savage is a hotdog! doh.

  • Birdddog

    Does Savage have anything to do with PMSNBC?

    • http://twitter.com/ArchInfidel ArchInfidel

      He calls them LGBTNBC cause he used to work for them before the huge left turn!

  • shootemdead

    i listen to both of them and hannity, and glen beck. rush is the person who when i was listening to him put the peices together and explained to me that what i was feeling about the way i want to live my life and take care of my wife and daughter was conservatism. we as conservatives would be no where without rush. plain and simple

    as for savage, i obviously agree with him on many things but as far as he is concerned micheal savage is the only conservative in the world. very into himself and selfcentered. but thats what it takes sometimes to be in the radio business.

    micheal savage is not my enemy and he needs to realize we are all in this together

  • http://www.okiepatriot.blogspot.com Greywolfe

    Here’s the problem I have with listening to Michael Savage, he’s a whiner. I have never heard a mouth so full of negativity and gloom than Michael Savage. It get’s old and it’s why he’ll never be able to rise above number 3.

    Rush is an entertainer, he readily admits it. He is at times arrogant and self important, but I think that is just the image he uses as a window screen. Hannity is a talking points pundant. He’s (for the most part) a die hard republican, as is Rush. I absolutely can’t stand O’reilly as he tries to often to have it both ways. And lastly there’s the new kid on the block, Glenn Beck. He has a real heart for the nation and he doesn’t pull punches with the people he goes after. He doesn’t go by talking points and 9 times out of 10, he’s taking a tack that no one else is even charting, let alone sailing.

    Savage is jealous of most everyone in talk radio, including those that he is leading in ratings. I think that most of the things he does and says is done for the sensationalism that it brings. He’s as much a political prostitute as the mainstream media that he likes to go after. He’s just the S&M version as opposed to those that try to be full service hoars.

    • GROUNDWIZARD

      dito!!! for far too long i always kept thinking hannity just repeats what Rush say’s. it’s almost mandatory that Sean has to repeat on every other show ” i’m a Reagan Conservative and i believe in limited Government, fiscal responsibility, free market and liberty” i never learn anything new from his show. Since you mentioned Glenn, all i have to say is he is all over the board and “I lIKE IT” b/c he’s knowlegable about each topic and knows how to keep the your attention. on the Savage topic, i listen when i can, and i agree with many views he has but his way of trying to send his message is harsh and depressing.

  • Mark

    Mike Savage is too negative. He calls “W” a traitor, Cheney a traitor?
    When he goes after Rush it reminds me of the old joke about two little bulls at the ranch when a truck shows up with a new HUGE Bull. One of the little bulls starts pawing the ground, snorting and the like. The other little bull says, “Are you crazy? Are you going to challenge that Big ol bull?” The first little bull says, “Hell no, I just want to make sure that he knows I’m a bull”.

  • Joe

    “Unite or Die”

    When I hear talk like this from Savage, or any of the other conservative talk show hosts, going after one another, it just BURNS me up! And it is TALK that is not needed! Why can’t these radio talk show hosts, just UNITE as one, and help us win this battle? Why can’t they put aside their petty differences, disagreements, and opinions they have of one another? Why can’t they speak as one voice against what is happening to our country?

    Mean they all KNOW the enemies we are facing here!
    They know how this country is on a fast train to fascism. They all know the terrorism that is out there! They all know what happened on 9/11. And yet some of them still cannot put aside the “ME” or “I”, just bite their tongues, and UNITE in one voice to help us defeat these enemies we are facing! To rally the troops to get “ACTIVE!”

    If we are going to defeat these enemies charging towards us, we must UNITE as a team, and do so together in one voice. And these conservative talk show hosts who have the charisma, should be INSTEAD of going after one another. INSTEAD of them ranting and raving, and blowing gaskets in their minds. They should be telling people who listen to them, to discover the warriors inside of them. To get strong within themselves. As Pope John Paul II said , “BE NOT AFRAID!” They should be telling the American people, how we can take back this country. And do so without it turning into another French Revolution, or another American Civil War.

    “UNITE or DIE”

    God Bless America, and those that help keep us free.

    Warrior Joe

  • Steven D

    I didn’t hear the context of the quote. Can anyone tell me why Savage thinks Limbaugh is a fraud?

    As far as O’Reilly, he’s right. I used to be a big fan of O’Reilly, then he turned far to the left, capped off by his support of Obama.

    (Yes, Phil, even I voted for McCain in the general election against The Anointed One.)

    • http://twitter.com/ArchInfidel ArchInfidel

      He is mad a Limbaugh cause he hasn’t even mentioned the ordeal about Savage getting banned from the UK for being to conservative. Savage stood up for Rush during the drug scandles and just wants Rush to do the same for him.

      Savage does get ignored in the media, even the conservative media. Fox news is the only news network NOT to mention the story.

    • Ivan the Kafir

      Fox is the only one that didn’t mention the story? This is interesting. The conservative media is embarrassed by Savage. Fox is trying to protect Savage and conservatives in general by simply ignoring the story. It’s no different than if Fox were the only one to report that Barackula had shit himself while meeting with Ahmawhateverhisnameis.

  • http://conservative-alliance.oli.us/index.php FreedomBill

    Evidently, Savage is not as conservative as he spouts! Most conservatives will support and defend the way of capitalism. One of the most cherished virtues of capitalism is ‘individual achievement’. Rush, while pissing me off at times, has contributed greatly for the conservative cause, and along the way, he has personified ‘individual achievement’. It IS the American way!

    A jealous rant is not very professional Mr. Savage; nor does it entice me to support your show.

  • Specter

    Anyone who trumpets the left/right paradigm is a fraud.

    It doesn’t exists people and it’s way past time for people to wake the fuck up to it.

    Just more infighting to insure that we all keep our eyes off the target.

    • Ivan the Kafir

      Correct! It’s ALL about power and the exercise of power. Power to the people or power to the elites? Which will it be? Conservatives should desire power to the people.

  • http://www.dirtydozensbunker.com Sanders

    The quote is definitely not in context. I wonder if he is going on about how he spoke out in support for Rush when Rush was being attacked by the left, and now that Savage is being attacked, Rush is mum on the subject?

    • Birdddog

      Rush won’t get into a pissing match like that.

  • http://earthlink nomee 1

    i listen to both, Savage is a radical, in sanfransico, and he is tough with good ideas. :beer:

  • GRIZZ

    Savage says stuff that NOBODY dare say.Sometimes he is a little wild.Who gets on ,my nerves the most is hannity.What a hack.He reminds me of story about old time wrestlers.In and out of the ring beating the hell out of one another,and then they all get on the same bus to go to another town.To each his own

  • echofivekilo

    I listen to Savage, every night, and not only is he a bit over the top but he is a very passionate, being, however. Above all many of you claim he is a fraud and not a conservative. I distively remember him staying true to his principles; Culture, Borders, Language. He also took on false accusations from; Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

    Oh and he was one of the only Radio Commentators, who had serious air time with Philip J Berg, who was highly supported on this site.

    And unfortunatly i cannot hear the audio, but i comming from “Mediamatters” i think it would be safe to say that it may have been taken out of context. I will reply later on the topic.

  • John Birch

    What radio or TV host is not in if for themselves first? It’s a job folks. They are not prophets or movement leaders, they are entertainers first and foremost. You would think they should stick together in the face of the fairness doctrine that’s coming.
    Face it though, if you take your orders from these people instead of your own research, you will not break free of the echo chamber, and you will never learn it is not left vs right any more, it is the State vs. You.

  • DesignR

    Savage needs to grow up and stop attacking everyone.

    It worked when he was a small time talker. Now that he is one of the top guys, he needs to take a broader view of the landscape and bury the hatchet.

    Yes, Rush did not come to your defense with the British thing or the CAIR thing. But, how had he treated Rush and all the rest up until then? He was never soft and fuzzy with everyone. He always attacked them, and when he was in trouble it was easy to ignore him.

    Message to Doc Savage (I’m sure his ego and curiosity brings him to sites like this):

    Be a pro Dr. Savage! We love you and your message and your big brain. “Borders Language, Culture” will be a saying etched in stone for our grandchildren. You have one of the top rungs, but your message is being drowned out by your need to climb over everyone else at all costs. Witness all of the favorable and negative comments above. We are not alone in our thinking.

    It is not a zero sum game. There is room for you, Rush, Laura, Malkin, Hannity, Beck, O’Reily, Coulter, Levin and all the rest to coexist.

    Stop being the loudest drunk at the party and picking fights. I assure you, you will get more attention and ratings if you buddy up instead.

    • Don’t bitch about the heat

      Designer, very will said. Home run.

    • http://twitter.com/ArchInfidel ArchInfidel

      Problem is Savage did stand up for Rush before, and look at it from his perspective, Savage is completely blacklisted from foxnews, the only network NOT to mention the UK ban, the guy is on an island.

    • Ivan the Kafir

      He has my approval to bury the hatchet, so long as its not in other conservatives’ backs. On the other hand, other conservatives need to rally around him and moderate his delivery style while maintaining the brilliance of his content.

  • Ty520

    Savage has a childish habit of attacking anyone who has better ratings than he does.

    • http://twitter.com/ArchInfidel ArchInfidel

      Try to listen to the show in context, he isn’t just attacking out of the blue, he is mad that he stood up for Rush in his dark days, and Rush hasn’t even mentioned Mike in his ban from the UK.

      It is a they came for you and I did nothing because it wasn’t me, but when they came for me no one was there to fight for me kinda deal.

      I don’t listen to Savage BECAUSE of his incessant whining.

  • http://www.jihadwatch.org LCpl. Alexander

    Rush is a drug addict, a hypocrite, and a draft dodger, fuck’em.

    I feel no sense of attachment to any of these fat fucks parading as “conservatives”. We need to flush these egocentric “look at me” loose links down the drain and find real patriots who have put their money where their big fat mouths are. I only know of one guy who fits that mold…

    Guys like Pat and Andrew Breitbart are the real deal, not these hypocritical flakes. Let Savage and Rush eat eachother, these two are just a couple of attention hungry faggots who are using us to get rich. Get them out of the way and find the ones who are in it to win it, not just pad their pockets.

    • http://snooperreport.com Mark Harvey (aka Snooper)

      Obsess much? Prozak will work.

  • Chicago Bob

    I’ve been listening to Savage since he came into the Chicago scene (8yrs or so). He’s very smart and broad minded, but he does whine sometimes.
    What really bothers me is he soilicts money for his battles e.g. c.a.i.r. he hires some SUPPOSED hotshot lawyer off the left coast to file in Frisco and then wonders why he lost! If he was my client I would have advised him to judical shop. Move to a home in a judical circuit more middle of the spectrum not like the 9th circuit which we lawyers consider the black hole.
    Granted he contributes to and supports our military but he owns a 12 cylinder Mercedes,a Lambo,Jaguar and several homes and a 55ft boat yet wants us to pay for his battles! He picked that fight with c.a.i.r. and then wants us to pick up the tab. Now he’s got the Thomas Moore Center suing the English Minister. At some point he’s got to carry his own weight.
    He makes malicious comments about the other right wing radio/tv hosts the wonders how come no one comes to his defense. Those of us from Taylor St. would call out these punks and maybe it’s about time for these right wing tough talkers to throw down instead of just running their mouth. OLIVER NORTH AND G.GORDON LIDDY EXEMPTED.

    Savage needs to stand down and stop being so jealous about the notoriety of others.

  • lastconservativeblackmanonearth

    Dr. Savage needs to learn a little political Ju Jitsu.

    “In your face” only works in the slums he professes to loathe so much–and even so, in your face will likely get you shot in the back.

    Dr. Savage has many ideas worth serious consideration. But he is not taken seriously because he is viewed as a hair-trigger firebrand.

    Mike: choose your friends and battles wisely.

    :arrow: Mark Harvey

    Obsess? Over savage and rush? I dont think you got the point of my post. Let me break it down for you, since you may be projecting your own obsessions onto me. I mentioned in my post, I have no attachment to either rush or savage. Why would I? These guys are just a couple of blowhards who talk, talk, talk for a living, and make alot of money doing it. The people I do feel an attachment to, are patriots, veterans who have actually fought for this country, and love this country in ways words cant express, but can only be scene in their sweat and blood. Rush IS a drug addict, he IS a draftdodger, and he IS a hypocrite. Why would I support this guy, or give a shit about him or savage for that matter? Just because you are deluded enough to think these guys are the real deal, doesnt mean I have to be. Didnt mean to hurt your little feelings though.

  • proud2beaninfidel

    I don’t get why Michael Savage goes on the attack so often. I happen to think that Rush is right, and Glenn Beck is incredibly insightful. Why he dismisses Sean Hannity as “a great American” and O’Reilly as “the leprechan” is beyond me. Sure, they all have those days when they get a little too self-righteous for me, but Levine, Savage, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, et all had better get united very quickly if they are to survive as “Radio Free America”, or they will all suffer the fate of Don Imus.

  • proud2beaninfidel

    P.S. I have most of Savage’s books, am a regular listener, and proudly use my “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder” coffee mug at work to keep the libtard Obama worshippers on edge.
