      Can somebody please tell me what math the Savage-Weiner is using when he says the "majority of Americans". The last time I checked Obama had a 56% approval rating and nearly 75% of Americans want the health care system socialized.

        I know. Obama's #'s (and those of the Dem's) are slipping mainly because he (and they) keep trying to satify the idiots who didn't vote for them and never will! JUST DO IT ALREADY! YOU WON! START ACTING LIKE IT!!!

        Exactly... it's not that the current administration wants a single payer health care system, it's the American People that want it.

        We're tired at looking at the rest of the world that mocks us because as a society we can't even take care of our people. We spend more money than any other nation on the planet on health care, it's just that the money is disproportionately given to the rich. How else could you explain spending 20% more than the #2 country Luxenborugh (I think) and 50% more than the #3 country Switzerland, and as a nation we are #37 in our overall health.

        This country hasn't seen a nationaly mandate in a long time... maybe Civil Rights was the last, but an NHS like solution better be coming soon.

      Sen Ensign is a white Christian heterosexual married male . I couldn't contain myself, specially after finding out he is a member of the Promise Keepers.

        So were Ted Haggard and Larry Craig.

        I'd point out that so are some 80% of congressional Democrats, but then he'd say they're not "real" christians.

        Because apparently you can't be a real christian unless you support war, the death penalty, gun ownership, tax cuts for the rich, judgement of your fellow man while living a sinful life yourself, and keeping the poor and hungry poor and hungry while denying them access to health care. You know... just like Jesus did.

          lost you after "So were Ted Haggard and Larry Craig". i don't see 80% of congressional democrats suddenly confessing to cheating on their wives after publicly urging voters they are a family values people and go so far as to be part of the Promise Keeper organization ( it is the hypocrasy of the situation, not the act itself ). Your subsequent rant about Jesus makes about as much sense as Gov Palin going off about freedoms being the result of military actions. You may want to reread and study my posting in connection with what Mr savage said, and the timing of such utterance.

            Yeah, it wan't exaclty satire per se, but I guess it was written rather awkwardly. What I meant was that 80% fo congressional dems could be described as "White, Christian, Hetereosexual, Married Males." (Not that they could be comapered to Haggard or Foley, sorry for the confusion!)

            So [Savage] must then think that all those Dems are also part of the "epitome of everything american." Of course, as I pointed out, he wouldn't accept my describing them as Christian, for the reasons I pointed out. Obviously the "Just like Jesus would" bit was satire, as [Savage and his ilk]'s whole view on christianity is so ridiculously flawed to the point where Jesus would hardly recognize it.)

          Jesus would not fit Savage's criterion. Jesus was an apocalyptic Jew, unmarried and a radical. Savage would be first in line to have him killed. Figuratively, of course, Mikey doesn't incite violence no matter what those uppity Brits say.

      I really have no idea how this person is legally allowed to be on the air.

      I find it odd that Howard Stern, who is crass and over the line by most mainstream measurements (which in my opinion makes him hilarious) had multiple run-ins with the FCC when he was on terrestrial radio. His "violations" were for "vulgarity", yet I never hear of even a FINE, let alone a lawsuit against these hate-spewing, racism-endorsing, violence-inciting jerks.

        I have to agree, I find the non-stop hate spewing that Michael Weiner does far more offensive than anything Howard Stern has ever done. The man can't go 15-20 minutes without either comparing someone to Hitler or making up something awful about gay people. He is a miserable little man.

      How is the white christian heterosexual married male the epitome of everything right with America.

      That offends me with every core of my being.
      I could argue that the white Christian heterosexual married male is what's wrong with America.

      The white Christian heterosexual married male is afraid of anyone that is unlike himself. They were happiest during the times of the Mayflower, or maybe the 50's like in the show Mad Men.

      We are not a nation of Christian heterosexual married men... and that's okay, because we never were. It's just that the circle of power was there and now that is changing and that is what they are afraid of.

        However, so does The white Christian heterosexual married male is afraid of anyone that is unlike himself. It's the flip side of Weiner's coin, and just as untrue. As is true in all demographics, there are admirable, average and execrable WCHMM's.

      So the problem with the "radical left" is that they fight for people who aren't white, Christian, heterosexual, married, or male, and this is what's destroying the country?

      Am I hearing that right? Is there any troll/wingnut who wants to defend that sentiment? It's hard to imagine how anything could be more offensive to one's sense of humanity.

Personally, I'd love to see this person come out and try to defend such a blatantly moronic and racist statement merely because Savage says he's a "conservative," but that's just me.

        Unfortunately, there are plentyout there who believe the gibberish Weiner is spouting. They're all conservative, though not all conservatives subscrive; most profess some sort of "Christianity," though the wilder fringes of the movement (and it is movement) are hooked on Norse mythology. They completely own the "base" of the Republican (and it really is base) party. What "responsible" Republican have you heard condemning the reference to Michelle's "gorilla ancestor," or that vile and now viral collection of "presidential portraits?" Obama's election, and now Sotomayer's nomination has them on the edge of hysteria. Look for more "lone wolf" murders, which are no such thing, with non coverage or denial from Fox, the MSM in general, and the GOP.

      But "married"?

      It seems to me, and I can be wrong in this. But Media Matters is becoming the "Monday Night Football" spotlight for "Right-Wingers" Every football player will tell you how much they want to make a great play or who could be the most outrageous on Monday Night. Rush, Beck and the like are competing (remember its still business) on who can be the loudest and most shocking. Making the updates on Media Matters in some part increases there ego and legitimacy.Not only that they love to see how upset they can make someone who disagrees. Its like putting gas in a fire hose..

      No matter how much fact you interject they still won't change.
      And if you are truly afraid of the far right microphone, than come out and say it. Say that we are under a Hitler propaganda machine and its taking over. Better be careful though. Might end up like the very people you despise.

      If there is anyone honest here reading this, could you kindly explain to me why the rest of Savage's sentence was omitted from the title of this post?

      And perhaps also why there is nothing after the last word in quotes printed above to indicate that there was more, since the second half had much to do with the first. The way it was printed here and the fact that every post here has been solely on the first half would indicate that this was not simply a grammatical error to leave off the period, since there was no ..." to indicate there was more to his sentence.

      Someone honest please tell me just what the heck is going on here.
