Savage exaggerates to make a point, but he’s basically correct. There’s no shortage of “medical experts” who can come up with handy excuses for lazy parents who need to explain to themselves and others why their children are undisciplined failures. And, of course, pharmaceutical companies gotta absolutely adore lazy moms.
“Autism” has simply become the latest catch-all. “Medical experts” have been continually expanding the definition of autism as they find “new, previously undiagnosed” forms of this “disability”. (Hang onto your wallets.)
I guess those other recently discovered bogus excuses, ADD and ADHD, have grown stale.
“Autism”, too, will eventually get over-hyped to the point that it elicits only a bored yawn. And something new will take it’s place. Meanwhile, taxpayers’ wallets will always end up getting fleeced.
I support the radio personalitity’s right to say whatever is clearly understood between him and his employer to be appropriate.
And I support the employer’s right to fire the radio personality if that understanding is breached.
I personally don’t listen to the this radio personality, because I don’t enjoy him, I don’t find him informative, persuasive, or in any way helpful to the conservative cause.
I genrally DO listen to conservative radio personalities; Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Elder, etc. At times they can be provocative.
If you like him, go ahead and listen to him. Just don’t overlook his employer, who pays his salary.
I believe in this case Savage claimed “99% of autism diagnoses are incorrect.” I am certain he is wrong, and certain he purposely overstates his claim to generate controversy. To increase his ratings in the short term.
But like I said, I don’t listen to his show. Don’t need that in my daily adventures with life and good people.
I’ll take intelligence and common sense over degrees any time. Degree holding fools are a dime a dozen. Besides, where do they award degrees in AIDS, mental retardation, PMS, etc?
a funny place called medical school...
well chuck had a moment of sanity for once, he was against the dubai ports deal, probably because so many repugs were for it , or he wasn’t greased by dubai lobbyists. Savage went back to hammering schumer not too long after that. While I am sure you enjoyed listen to Rush talk about how good a deal to have Dubai running our ports.
Did you see the first thread about this, man I can believe how some people took offence because they knew 1 person that had it. HELLO maybe they are the 1% now stfu, I know 99% is not correct but 40% might be.
With regard to Dubai Ports
The unions went berserk over the idea that their members would have to undergo security clearance.
You must realize that the longshoreman working our ports are not as pure as the driven snow.
I don’t recall Rush taking a strong position on the ports issue.
When you have the likes of Menendez and his ilk ranting against having ‘arabs’ running our ports you begin to wonder, don’t you?
Don't be confused. My comment has everything to do with not only this story, but the loud mouthed bi-polar ticking time-bomb known as Weiner.
