Savage said he sees women who wear burqas as "hateful Nazi[s]" who want to "kill your children"
On the July 2 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, discussing the recent terror-related arrests in Britain, radio host Michael Savage said, "[W]hen I see a woman walking around with a burqa, I see a Nazi," adding, "That's what I see -- how do you like that? -- a hateful Nazi who would like to cut your throat and kill your children." Savage also said that when a Muslim woman wears a burqa, "She's doing it to spit in your face. She's saying, 'You white moron, you, I'm going to kill you if I can.' "
The Savage Nation reaches more than 8 million listeners each week, according to Talkers Magazine, making it the third most-listened-to talk radio show in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.
From the July 2 edition of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:
SAVAGE: Why are they calling one of the Muslim doctors -- one of the terrorists -- a brilliant neurologist? What has he done that makes him brilliant? Dr. Mohammad Asha came in on asylum. "Oh please, can we come into England? We're oppressed in our home country." Oh sure, come in. Bring your entire brood with you. Bring your, bring your -- I'd like to use the word I'd use in a bar -- bring your wife with you in a burqa.
You know, when I see a woman walking around with a burqa, I see a Nazi. That's what I see -- how do you like that? -- a hateful Nazi who would like to cut your throat and kill your children. Don't give me this crap that they're doing it out of a sacred ritual or rite. It's not required by the Quran that a woman walk around in a seventh-century drape. She's doing it to spit in your face. She's saying, "You white moron, you, I'm going to kill you if I can." That's how I see it! What do you want me to do, mince words with you? I'm not going to mince words. We're too far gone in this country.
You saw what they almost did to us with illegal immigration. We beat them only by the skin of our teeth. And let me tell you something: They're not protecting us properly from the Muslim terrorists amongst us -- the same way they didn't protect us from the illegal immigration assault and try to screw us even further. We're going to get hit again, as sure as I'm sitting here, because they won't do what needs to be done.
The other right-wing media mogul you should worry about
Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
I'm convince this is just an act. He's just mocking conservatives. It must be a big joke. He can't have so much hate in his heart.
Sure he can. For someone (Savage) who claims to LOVE America so much, he does seem to have a hard time understanding this whole freedom of religion thing. And when was the last time you've seen someone walking around the US in a burqa? I can't say that I have in this lifetime. This isn't to say that there aren't Muslim women who do wear burqas, but whom am I to tell them not to? It's their religion and they should practice it how they see fit (and no I don't endorse terrorism, because I see that as an afront and a radicalization of religion - any religion - for political purposes).
"And when was the last time you've seen someone walking around the US in a burqa?"
To be fair I often see it in the Philly area, but that's not the point.
I agree with you to some exteent, but truly believe he is just saying what he needs to keep his audience($$$$).
That's why I put that qualifier in there, the whole, "I haven't seen it", but then again, I live in the Bible belt. I barely see any Catholics let alone Muslims.
Understood. Most of the muslim women I have met in this country have been nothing if not polite. Obviously I don't go up to every muslim woman I come across and strike up a convo,(somehow thats seems a bit too much.) but I have attended Univ. course with muslim women in traditional clothes and even the occasional burqa. The converstions tend to go much better than they o when I have had talks with "hardcore" evangelicals who think I'm going to hell since I don't think like them and that Bush is the secon coming (not after his immigration snafu...oh wait now that he gave Libby a slap on the wrist all is well so nevermind.)
Is it possible he's confusing burqa with the headwraps many Muslim women wear (I don't know the name)? I see those fairly often, and it's a common mistake. Not that it really matters- he's still out of his mind.
"To be fair I often see it in the Philly area, but that's not the point."
Are you sure it was a burqa...and not a head scarf?
They aren't the same thing, you know.
I have the same question....really a full b urqa or just a headscarf. I have never seen a full burqa in this country either.
I'm just outside Philly in NJ. I work in a hotel and just saw a woman in a burqa a couple days ago. Couldn't see anything but her eyes. Not being a crazy wing-nut, I didn't assume she was terrorist (or a nazi), or even consider it for that matter.
I can honestly say I have seen full burqa on multiple occasions. Yes, I do know the difference.
Then they belong to one of the more radical muslim groups and you should probably report them to the local authorities! Perhaps the authorities should pay more attention to you, too, since you are in constant contact with the more radical muslims. Next time you meet someone in that hazmat suit, ask him/her if they love America or despise it.
What a demeaning way of forcing a woman to dress. But...that's what the liberals want when they continually say that there are no terrorists to be fought against in the US. You know, the ones who are never making the news when they perform their various terrorists actions....the ones that the liberal media ignores in an attempt to avoid public scruitiny of all muslims. Just like Michael Savage points out, day after day.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
In reading the document that I lifted the above paragraph from, I didn't find anything about questioning any other American citizen's patriotism or loyalty to this nation.
The only blanket statement made declared that every person is equal, regardless of their attire or religious beliefs.
Your post is one of the most anti-American things that I've ever had the pleasure to read.
"the pursuit of happiness"
Well, it seems a lot of radical muslims consider murdering infidels to be their "pursuit of happiness". Are you saying it is un-American to deny them their "right" to murder infidels? That is what it sounds like you are saying.
No one here defends the Muslims who think like you describe, nor the self-proclaimed Christians like Ann Coulter who have espoused similar forms of this lunacy.
Hold on, you're the one who implied that anyone wearing a burka was a radical Islamist intent on murdering their fellow Americans. There are radical Muslims who wish us harm. I never said they did not exist. I do say that a large majority of Muslims wish us nothing but goodwill.
You question the intentions and patriotism of these women and even Monk just for saying that he's seen women in Muslin clothing.
What I'm saying is that as early as the 1960's I've seen good, honorable, patriotic, American citizens, in Muslim attire on the streets of Philadelphia, Batltimore, Washington and New York.
I'm saying that the husbands, fathers and brothers of these women you insult fought and died for this country in every war going back to WWII. I've fought along side Muslim men. Who are you to say such disgraceful things about their family members?
Please show me where I said that radical Muslims intent on murdering Americans could be considered their "pursuit of happiness. I said or implied no such things.
You're the one who would like to deprive American citizens of their constitutional right to worship as they please. You're the one who wants to these citizens to stopped and their patriotism questioned by other Americans.
You mentioned veterans who've been wounded fighting in Iraq. Do you think that they put their lives on the line to re-enforce hatred and bigotry against American citizens?
If so, they're fighting for the wrong side.
I do say that a large majority of Muslims wish us nothing but goodwill. You question the intentions and patriotism of these women
I agree there is a large majority of muslims who wish Americans nothing but goodwill. But, there is a small minority who is different and more radical in their belief of Islam. Yes, I do question their patriotism. Women wearing burka's are of the extreme radical belief system of Islam. I feel they fall within the catagory of needing extra attention from authorities simply because the 'majority', as you say, wish us only goodwill, there is still a minority that do not.
Are willing to take that chance simply because you can quote the DOI? I don't think our "Creator" gives them an "unalienable right" to maim and murder simply because they believe a more radical version of Islam.
You, sir, have no shame
No by quoting the DOI he is saying they have the right to worship as they please, it is ludicrous and bigoted to assume that wearing a burka marks them as terrorists or murderers.
"it is ludicrous and bigoted to assume that wearing a burka marks them as terrorists or murderers"
It is not ludicrous or bigoted. It is simply making use of intelligence gained from paying attention to current events, and looking at the facts instead of trying not to offend everyone.
This is one of many examples of why being leary of muslims is not bigotted or racist, just common sense. [link to news.yahoo.com]
Please show me where I said that radical Muslims intent on murdering Americans could be considered their "pursuit of happiness. I said or implied no such things.
By quoting the DOI saying they have a right to be as radical as they want, you implied it is ok to murder and maim Americans. You tell me which portion of the religion of Islam is intent on seeing America destroyed? Then tell me what portion of that religion does a woman wearing a burka fall into? Come on...I dare you to say those two little words! Maybe you need a little help...they are called 'radical Islam', some prefer to say 'extreme Islam', but it works the same either way! They earned special attention from our government and THAT is what I said! Please show where I said women wearing burka's are intent on murdering Americans. I said they should have more attention by authorities.
The only blanket statement made declared that every person is equal, regardless of their attire or religious beliefs.
They are equal until one segment (and only one segment) of that religion starts proclaiming death and injury to anyone who isn't of that segment! Then they LOSE that right, at least in America!
Our constitution protects the right of anyone to worship as they please. Assuming that every women wearing a full body cover is a threat to this country is admitting that the terrorists have won. You've surrendered our rights to terrorists
If that's the case, then our constitution is worthless. It's not the constitution I swore to protect. And this is not the country I risked my life fighting for.
Our constitution protects the right of anyone to worship as they please.
NO, it does not! Certain religions cannot use illegal means to fulfill their religious needs. There are limits on how far they can stretch that freedom, just like the freedom of speach has limits....FOR SAFETY REASONS!! Does that mean I've stopped believing in the Constitution? I guess you think it's alright to yell 'fire' in a crowded theatre, since if we give up on that right to free speach then our Constitution is worthless and isn't the same as the one you fought to protect!
Assuming that every women wearing a full body cover is a threat to this country is admitting that the terrorists have won. You've surrendered our rights to terrorists
If that's what you think then you are probably right (about yourself). However, I think differently, I think we should be "aware" of the enemy and of anyone who dresses like the enemy. You wimped out on answering my question about what part of the religion do burka wearers fall into, so I figure you are afraid to answer it because you know the answer and don't want to be embarrassed in front of your cohorts.
AP,
I almost wonder if this entire argument is sarcastic. The pursuit of happiness is not a law in this land. You should know better than that. Obviously there is no way that the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution gives "radical" Muslims the right to kill.
Before you move on to the Constitution and say that the First Amendment gives these people the right to kill infidels, remember that
Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990), does not allow peyote use. You have the right to think anything you want, but killing and drugs, even if used in religion, are still illegal.
Why stop at a segment of a religion? Why not include a segment of a movement, like say if a well-listened commentator called for the death of a million Muslims? Then he and all his listeners should lose all of their rights as well, right? That sounds fair, doesn't it?
I guess you think the "million muslims" whose death is being called for are ALL fair-minded peace-loving Muslims. I'll bet you think there isn't a terrorist among them. I'll bet you don't even know which people he said that about. I'll bet you just parrot what everyone else has said before you, like a good liberal (now wag your tail).
If your house has a roach problem, do you kill only the "bad" roaches and offer the "good" ones asylum? I guess that's a bad analogy, you probably think all creatures are protected by the 'right to life' movement and you would move out of your house instead of fighting the pest infestation. Well, get ready to move out of your country when this worldly terrorist infestation gets larger because YOU (and almost every other liberal) are afraid to admit there is a problem and think it's a bad idea for the U.S. to try to stop them.
Let me add one more thing, how many veterans who died or were maimed fighting these terrorists would agree with your position that they have a "right" to murder infidels in their "pursuit of happiness" that you so proudly claim they have a right to?
No one is saying that Jackhole. Read what he wrote again.
And I did not say what I am being blamed for saying, "jackhole"!
So, let's hear from the monkey's mouth, are you in contact with radical muslims on multiple occasions? Do you think they deserve higher attention than the average Muslim?
I've stated that I have seen Muslim women in Burqas on occasion, I have also stated that I have spoken with muslim women in a University settings. When Have I said anything about being in contact with radical muslims? What else do you want? I don't think wearing a burqa means you are probably a terrorist. I'm not the ignorant.
are you on drugs or are you just being ignorant to get a rise out of people ?
Savage has really gone off the deep end this time. Women in burqas are trying to avoid beatings or death at the hands of crazy men. That any woman in America would feel compelled to wear one is awful, IMO (and I am a woman myself).
The thing is, I don't think folks like Mullah Robertson or Mullah Dobson mind at all.
Women in burqas are trying to avoid beatings or death at the hands of crazy men. That any woman in America would feel compelled to wear one is awful, IMO
People like worrierking and monkyman think it is their free will that has them wearing that garb in America. I said they probably practice an extreme version of Islam. Then you come along and say what is probably the real reason. Thanks for taking all of our argueing points away!
BTW, Dobson is a Dr., not a pastor or mullah. But, I don't understand what you meant by that. Do you mean they wouldn't mind that the women live in fear of harm/death? I wouldn't agree with that, they both defend and promote safety from physical harm of the woman by there mates/guardian.
The best part of this post from AP is that I was sure he was playing a bit of satire until I'd read the second paragraph.
With all due respect AA, your a dou*he bag.
Why should I report someone to the authorities for there attire? Especially when they have done no wrong. You are the one who is un-American. You live in fear and the real terrorist have beaten you. Yes there are people out in the world who wish America harm, but it isn't everyone who looks different. Maybe one of the many reasons they hate us is because of Jackass statements like yours.
I refuse to live in fear like spineles little neo-cons like you. There are good and bad muslims in this world just like their are good and bad Christians in this world. Should I report every Christian standing in front of a planned parenthood center as a possible terrorist?
Should have been addressed to AP (AutoPsychic)
You know, every time AP comes here and craps his little terds of wisdom, I feel compelled to comment that he is a sad, pathetic, little man. And I really try to hold back on the personal attacks, but he really just brings it out of you.
You live in fear and the real terrorist have beaten you. Yes there are people out in the world who wish America harm, but it isn't everyone who looks different.
Sorry, I don't live in fear and the terrorists haven't beaten me. It may not be "everyone who looks different" that wishes us harm, but all those who do happen to look and dress alike. It's similar to someone in war; if you're on patrol and spot someone, you look for obvious signs of who they may be (profiling), if they 'look' like the enemy then you give them extra attention to make sure they don't harm you. If it turns out they are not the enemy, then no harm done.
You have to be a total recluse and live in a closet if you think profiling is not a good tool for the authorities to use to find members of our current enemy. I have not seen a single asian or mexican grandmother carry a suicide bomb onto a bus or into a crowded area and set it off. I HAVE seen women in burka's do that...I HAVE seen men hide in a burka to keep from being caught.
The very fact that the leaders of terrorism use the burka to hide themselves from capture is one reason to watch those who where them. We are fighting an enemy consisting of people who are afraid of life. We cannot stop individual terrorist actions, but we can diminish them using tactics that work, whether you like it or not. I'm sure your idea will work better, but to let them blow up their bombs and then say; "there's a terrorist" isn't really very smart. But, I certainly expect that from minds like yours.
"I HAVE seen women in burka's do that...I HAVE seen men hide in a burka to keep from being caught."
In America? Have you seen it in America?
As I asked earlier, should I report every Christian protesting in front of a planned parenthood center as a possible terrorist? Should I report all mormonist as polygymist? You have to be a complete recluse f you think all traditionally dressed American Muslims are potential terrorists. Where are you located? Must not be a very diverse place? Are all shaved headed whites guys skinheads? Are all CEOs crooks? I have seen that.
As I asked earlier, should I report every Christian protesting in front of a planned parenthood center as a possible terrorist?
No, but it would be wise to let the authorities know who they are so they can be watched closer, just in case they are! I never said they burka wearers WERE terrorists, I said they should be watched closer, just like in your example. Do you 'get it' yet??
Should I report all mormonist as polygymist?
For what reason? Is polygamy a danger to our lives, like terrorism is? Perhaps you should report all homosexuals as potential sodomists while you're at it, if that's the extreme you want to take it!
Well, polygamy IS illegal and plenty of fundies consider it a threat to the "American family," so why not?
By the way - sodomy is no longer illegal, thanks to the pre-troglodyte SCOTUS decision.
I saw a lady in a burqa just a couple of hours ago, and she definitely wanted my blood. Then again, she worked for the Red Cross. (One more donation, and I get my 7th gallon pin.)
It would never occur to me to question anyone's motives based on what they wear. The whole exercise seems awfully silly, to put it mildly.
It would never occur to me to question anyone's motives based on what they wear.
I doubt that you'll ever be needed to protect the country you live in, since you don't know how to distinguish the enemy from non-enemy. But then, I doubt you would ever WANT to offer to protect your country, in all probability, you would rather let someone else do all the dirty work for you, like a good liberal. I'll bet the percentage of liberals fighting in the US military (now) is pretty low, since most would rather protest the war instead of participate in protecting their country and the rights of others to live as free human beings.
Monk,
Gotta say I think agree with you here. What is with this guy? Everyone is either a Nazi or Gay...me thinks he needs some new material.
This has got to be an act. Nobody sane carries on like this.
Well, maybe he's not sane? Another real possibility eh? ;-)
It's like he's found the the right adience to pander to and make millions. He's getting all of the angry blue collar white guys riled up, because he knows it's a cash cow.
He can't be for real.
Blue collar guys? Considering blue collar guys are more likely to be in a union than any other type of worker, do you really think labeling them as savage's base is correct? Unless you meant blue collar by day, white sheet by night, then that would make more sense.
Jeter,
Doesn't one have to be a human first in order to be insane or sane?
As far as I'm concerned Savage is the lowest form of life on this planet that caters to the gunk found under ones shoe!
"Everyone is either a Nazi or Gay."- jeter2
Excellent! Saving for furure out of context quote.
Excellent! Saving for furure out of context quote.
Furure?
Is that a special Liberal holiday? Like instead of Christmas?
Or maybe coded Liberal-speak for taking Conservatives posters quotes out of context?
Beach, why not just save it for a future out of context quote? Just trying to be helpful ;-)
MONK:
WHAT heart?
It's that lump of black tar residing in his chest (Savage's, not Monk's).
I thought the same thing after I wrote the first comment.
I love it when you quote Gabriel Byrne.
The above should have been addressed to Tex.
Great line from a great movie, "Miller's Crossing".
King,
I'm normally a rabid antimonarchist, but you're my kind of scum.
Thanks, Concho.
I wear the scum description as a badge of honor. Especially in this thread about a bottom feeder like Weiner.
Although we are scum, we have risen to the top of the pond, while the good doctor and his minions sink into the slime.
I'm willing to contribute for an MRI to try and find out for sure.
Till then I can't go along with him on this. I would like to know his full deffinition of a Nazi some time. How many threats a day does his imagination throw up, figurativily speaking.
8 million listeners each week - 3rd most-listened-to talk radio behind Rush, another "comedian".
While I hope that Savage is just acting I've got to wonder about the 8 million people who listen to him. Do they think he's just acting or do they really believe what he says.
How can people claim this is comedy?
For those who listen to him, can you please explain to me why?
If you have ever listened to his show, and heard his callers, they completely and totally and utterly believe this man. They are Savage dittoheads (for lack of a better term for them). They think he is 100% right, all of the time, and say so often. Bear in mind of course, I'm sure that the calls are heavily screened, and should there ever be someone on there who disagrees with them he gives the old, "Hang up on that caller! Get him outta here! I can't hear this drivel!" or something of that nature.
didn't we just recently have a savage lover on this board? Come to think of it, more than one:
savagerocks
savageforpresident
Third one I can't remember, but he was the most psychotically rabid of them all.
so Pearl, after reading their rants here, do you really need to ask that question?
Even AA was on here defending him, although I don't think he's a rabid savage head. But to defend this guy is anathema to anything good or decent. But some of the cons will defend any hateful speech at all if it involves gays or abortion. EFJ.
Snoopy, you're right.
Snoopy,
It was MichaelSavageForPresident4President, the 3rd one.
In all fairness, Savage does NOT play that card with the people who disagree with him that cannot speak to their points clearly - the ones he can bowl over and get off topic ASAP onto meaningless BS he allows to stay on as proof of whatever point he has to make about liberals.
Pearlene,
I've never listened to Savage, but I can't imagine anyone taking someone seriously who brands every other pearson a Nazi. Seems to me that would get tedious & redundant after awhile...no matter what your politics are.
I once wrote a letter to my local talk radio station that carries Mr. Savage, and asked the station manager / ombudsman if he knew what kind of hatred and venom that Savage spewed on a daily basis, and included some links from Mediamatters for reference information. The reply I got back?
Thanks for writing, Savage is our highest rated program, he's not going anywhere (paraphrasing of course).
Apparently in NC, they love the man, which doesn't surprise me at all.
Angry downtrodden white guys (no offense to anyone) love angry rich downtroden white men with mics. Didn't you get the memo?
Savage is our highest rated program, he's not going anywhere
Magnolia,
That's not only disheartening...it's a tad scary.
I'm not even sure if Savage is on Boston radio [he probably is]...I'll check that out when I get a free moment.
What's even scarier is that I hear people where I work (you know, fairly well educated people at that) come in the day after repeating Savage's words and attacks.
2nd highest rated program on said same radio station? Neal Boortz.
Jeter, I would like to agree BUT 8 million! That's a hard pill to swallow. It's really scary to think that there are 8 million people who think that what he spews each day is "worth listening ".
Pearl, look at it this way. 8 million is only 2.7% of the entire US population.
Or look at it this way: if 2.7% of the entire US population raped kittens, we might consider it a problem.
Not that I equate raping kittens with Savageweiner. He's worse than that, but I didn't want to risk being accused of hyperbole...
Snoopy, sorry but it's hard to think that 2.7% of the population that dumb can and will re-produce.
Although, at only 2.7%, listening to Savage is less popular than homosexuality.
And if the "recruitment drive" portion of the gay agenda really gets up a head of steam... Well, reproduction of Savageweiner listeners may not be so worrisome.
Well, reproduction of Savageweiner listeners may not be so worrisome.
THANK GOD!!
And Pearl,
every hour they spend listening to Savage is an hour they don't spend reproducing. Compare that to the liberal side, every hour we listen to music means we's like rabbits!
Why are they calling one of the Muslim doctors -- one of the terrorists -- a brilliant neurologist? What has he done that makes him brilliant? Dr. Mohammad Asha came in on asylum.
So I guess he's saying that because he hasn't personally heard of him and because he came into the UK seeking asylum then he can't be brilliant in his field? Such reasoning.
As it is, we have some serious thinking to do in the UK now as the general mainstream thought was that only disaffected youths were in danger of being sucked into this whole thing. Doctors? Can't pretend it's unintelligent young men now.
The burqa thing has already had a semi-national debate over here as well some time ago. It's not the choice to wear it in public that is wrong, it's insisting on wearing it when teaching children or when being interviewed, passing through Customs, etc.
Got this thing about Nazi's though, despite seeming to follow their ideology of demonising anything he doesn't understand...
Docters can be unitelligent too. They can also become fanatical, its not unknown. Maybe comes from that power of life and death thing. Presidents and Prime Minsters can be of this sort also.
I live right in the middle of America, and we had a fairly large influx of refugees from Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. I worked for a while for an organization that taught English language lessons to refugees. Only one woman was ever even close to being unpleasant with me, and she was going through a hot, midwestern summer, pregnant, far removed from her family, and always wearing that burka, so I gave her some slack.
Savage Weiner is a dolt. His rants appeal to the worst among us. Even if it is an act, and he knows better, he avoids any redeeming ideas or speech. What is more disingenuous is that crapola about "they" amost screwed us further,w ith the immigration bill. Who does he think is the "they" who proposed the bill, and is responsible for "protecting us from the Muslim terrorists among us"?
Ignorance is a terrible thing to spread via the radio airwaves.
Savage is 100% sincere when he says these things, and his listeners believe every word of it. I've had a few of them respond to my blog posts and comment on my Amazon page for the book I wrote about him, and believe me, they have learned well. Not only do they parrot his phrases, but they use the same constructs (and insults. Savage is big on insult) to frame their criticisms.
There is a student at my school- tenth grader- who thinks that Mark Levine is the smartest person in the world, and Michael Savage the second-smartest. It makes me so very sad.
Alter reality through Savage not psychedelics. Why is Savage legal and not LSD?
Your brain on Savage is worse than your brain in the meat grinder.
Exactly Bill36.
As you may or may not have read here on MMFA in thepast, when we had Weinerrocks and WeinerforPresident lashing out at everyone, they were fairly good examples of Weiner "dittoheads."
They used almost word for word quotes from Weiner's broadcasts as their own. They even (as you have said) used Weiner's debate format in posts. Most of which you can't find anymore, as they have been removed for their nasty personal attacks, language, etc.
Some of the con's at my college are starting to sound like Weiner as well. I'm a fairly well known figure on campus, as the president (3 years now, they call me El Presidente) of our LGBT student group. But I was still a little shocked when another student, while debating me in class, said (I can't write it all here or MMFA will remove it and ban me for life) basically that I might be better informed about our topic if I was not so busy having sexual relations with children and goats. I was also called a Nazi at least 3 times.
Ironic that they called you a Nazi, because what people forget about the holocaust is that they also killed off a lot of homosexuals as well as Jews in WWII.
Ah, the old nuggest about being homosexual and having sex with children and pets. Are they still using that old nugget? Should have asked them how their priest was growing up.
If someone said that to me, I'd have gone Bruce Lee on them. People with mouths like that need to be taught lessons in manners the old-fashioned way.
What were you saying that drew these comments from other students?
Leather I told him that arresting protesters because they state an unpopular position, all while obeying the law (not like those anti-gay protesters in Florida who are currently whining because they stepped outside the protest areas to engage the marchers and were arrested for doing so) is not legal.
Basically that our right to free speech gives us the ability to protest what wee feel is unjust. Unlike my opponent I was very civil.
You should see what the Bible group does when I pass. If they glare anymore the glass in that window is going to crack.
Your position of authority puts you in a sensitive position. Still the students sound liable to three different kinds of laws. Defamation of character, a hate crime, and can't remember the third. I haven't run into the like. I don't know whose favor that is.
I am not sure how listeners are measured when I hear these numbers. Does it mean 8 million unique listeners a week, or in the simplest case, about 1.1 million people listen to him daily making 8 million "listeners" over the course of the week.
Irregardless what the numbers acutally mean in terms of individuals, relative to other programming, his is one of the highest rated. I just can't stand the idea of even 2.7% of American people actually listening to this...whatever he is. .1% I could live with.
Exactly. I've listened to the Savage radio show and it is extremely boring after 30 minutes or so. Also, taking the best interpretation of numbers, 8 mill, out of over 6 billion on the planet? Not that great really. Still, it is baffling that advertisers keep buying airtime after they hear the show. Surely they must realize there are many people like me who will never but a name brand mattress ever againg for fear of supporting his show in some small way. Besides the nonsensical ranting I am allways struck with the never ending ads for mattresses, why I don't know. HBL, any ideas?
it may be dull for you because after 30 minutes your imaginative function tires, instead you must have a stream of images "stimulate"you and eliminate the imaginative neccesity altogether. savage is indeed quite interesting speaker, it might help if you remove the censoring liberal earplugs you might actually learn something. give me a liberal talk show host that has at least the amount of savage listeners and i shall be surprised.
you might also realize that there are not as many listeners such as you as you originaly thought. maybe because the "prevalancy" of mattress commercials is so remarkable to you your subconcious is telling you to get a descent mattress, perhaps better sleep will wake you up to reality.
Savage is a political "Shock Jock". Nothing more nothing less. Instead of naughty sexual innuendoes he uses arrogant whiney declarations of hate filled and contrived self righteous indignation. I think he is a cold and calculating opportunist with an uncanny knack for finding the "hot buttons" to push ratings and ad revenue for the station owners. Pure and simple. In essence the Howard Stern, want to be, of hate and intolerance. Who does he target for ratings? In his owns words, "you white moron, you, I’m going to kill you". Take a guess. Yes those poor underrepresented and endlessly victimized white folk. Oh well it sells toothpaste, I guess, and that’s what this country is all about....now.
Two things. One after having been in Bahrain i noticed that there wee multiple versions of the burkha. some involved total coverage, including the face. Others showed some part of the face to differing degrees. Either just the eyes, or the whole face with hair covered. The later types of religious clothing were more of the latter type. Campus has different types linked to the local religious masque. Some of the students i ran into worked for the state.
Anyone can sound savage in a safe little studio and a microphone, get him in combat he would just be a weiner.
i agree i dont think he is erious i think maybe it stared as humour and took off now there is alot of money to be made so he stuck with it . wouldnt it be wonderful if one day he just came out with it "i was kiddin all along"
More like 20 million listeners! LONG LIVE SAVAGE!
I see the Weiner man is in fine form again. This quack is the biggest joke in broadcasting. The only scarey thing is that there are actually people out there who take him seriously.
"She's saying, 'You white moron, you, I'm going to kill you if I can.'"
Hey, Michael? Maybe it's just your breath.
It seems some here don't understand the difference between a hijab and a burkha. The hijab is merely a head covering reminiscent of a scarf, actually the website I went to even called them scarves. A burkha covers the whole face with a section of mesh or lace to allow the woman wearing it to be heard if she speaks. "The Google" (intended) is a wondrous thing.
Ha, I am an eye witness that this is false. I rode on an Airbus tube crammed to the bulkheads with all kinds of people from Munich to Denver. Of the poor pitiful souls who voluntarily subjected themselves to this inhumane torture were three women in the full nose to floor black tent like they call a burkha. If they were ever going to work up the nerve to kill a baby they would have on this flight about the hundreth time a babies father leaned over them to get or put something back in the overhead bin. Let me tell you, I was ready to kill an innocent child by the time we were bumping along over the Dakotas!! Not a peep out of the Muslim gals though, one of them even offered to change the little rippers poopy diapers!
Hey...Savage "sees" what a lot of people see. Icannot be the only American who shudders upon seeing burqa or veiled woman usually with several children and pregnant, going everywhere as if to proclaim to the world..."YES...I am a Muslim woman and I approve of women being mistreated...even in America".
Yeah, tsk-tsk. How dare a pregnant woman walk around with her children in public. Women of any other religion would never do that.
I suppose they should just take off their shoes and stand around in the kitchen, like a respectable pregnant woman.
No, you're not the only American who feels that way. Apparently a lot of listeners to the Savage show have no respect for a foreign culture of which they have no understanding. Apparently, they also have decided that these people are highly suspicious, so much more so than, say, middle-aged white men from old money who are known to gouge customers, commit all sorts of white collar crimes, steal land, et cetera.
Good thing we're not innocent until proven guilty of a crime here in the States ... right?
Moral equivalency at it's finest.
If people keep saying stuff like this I cant blame people for hating Americans...
When I see a woman in a burqa I am **NOT** going to report her to the authorities. I'm sorry but thats just insane - I live around the Philadelphia area and see women in burqas more often than you might think. I am not a psychotic paranoid racist so it does not bother me.
Autopsychic I take it you listen to Michael Savage, vote for George W. Bush, think the Iraq War is helping in the war on terror and love the TV show "24"?
