Just wondering: why is OK for right-wing talkers to call Liberals and Dems Nazis, terrorists, socialists, communists, baby-killers, etc etc. and not over the line?
But calling Mexicans horrible names is over the line?
"Right wing host suspended" from the chyron on this clip. He was suspended because of his comments about Mexicans and the H1N1 flu.
I thought it was odd because radio stations allow all kinds of hatred and horrible rhetoric to fly through their air waves every day.
But when this comment about Mexicans was made, then it was time to suspend the guy.
I find it hypocritical that a station allows a certain kind of hatred and inciteful rhetoric but not another.
mk3872,
I'm going to guess that the guy that got suspended simply does not have the listener ship or large enough contract, or lawyer friends available that can come to his rescue... or he happily is accepting his suspension for the greater good of the spread of all the hate, vile, and nastiness from the right-wing...
Boortz, Savage, and Limbaugh sadly have many millions of listeners... so it is improbable but not impossible to suspend them for their obvious hate.
Personally, I think he is nothing more than a fall guy so that the right-wing can claim they are fair and balanced so that they can claim... "See, we suspended a guy that spread hate" while allowing the big boys to remain on the air untouched.
But then again... I'm only reading tea leaves...
How is he a "bonified expert"? Where is his peer-reviewed track record on this area?
And, his "Ph.D" is in Nutritional Ethnomedicine....not Epidemiology. They are NOT the same thing.
No!
His PhD from Berkeley is in EPIDEMIOLOGY & HUMAN NUTRITION
No!
His PhD from Berkeley is in Nutritional Ethnomedicine....not Epidemiology.
He is not a peer-reviewed scientist in infectious disease, outbreak investigations, or epidemiology.
You are so wrong and you don't even know it.
Trained as a scientist, Michael Savage (Dr. Michael Alan Weiner) holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science.
He's not peer reviewed in epidemiology, infectious diseases, or epidemiology and has a Ph.D in Nutritional Ethnomedicine....NOT epidemiology. These are the facts. Deal with it

Everything about your reich-wing hero is a lie including name and false claims that he has a degree in Epidemiology.
Weiner-Savage = Lying Fraud

His doctoral dissertation at U.C. Berkeley was titled, “Nutritional Ethnomedicine in Fiji.” Pehaps, that's the source of your confusion.
His PhD is in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science as per his website, www.michaelsavage.com
No, you are confused because you are believing lies.

Berkley's library confirms that his degree was in Nutritional Ethnomedicine.
You look really stupid attempting to defend this. He lied to you. Just admit you. I proved you wrong.
I've been to his home in Larkspur and seen the document.
Again, you're obviously confused by the title of his dissertaion.
BTW, the correct spelling is "Berkeley", genius.
No, you are wrong. Completely. Just admit it. You look stupid now. You look stupid and are clearly confused with facts and reality.

You have no proof. I have all the proof. You are wrong. Fact.
Are you really this stupid or just pretending?
There is no food anywhere that spreads swine flu. One can not get it by eating any pork product.
Your entire rant is baseless.
