Michael Savage's son gives to Gavin Newsom's campagin

Rockstar energy drink founder and CEO Russell Weiner - son of Michael Weiner, aka Bay Area-based, nationally broadcast conservative talk radio talk host Michael Savage - on Monday made a $25,000 contribution to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's 2010 gubernatorial campaign.

Yes, the son of Michael Savage, who just last October was saying Newsom is "in love again with the gay mafia" and "a whack-job as a mayor - 'Any-twosome' Newsom." Y’know, Savage — the guy the Brits don’t care to have around.

Is this a case of the apple falling far from the tree? It's not as if the junior Weiner has been some raging liberal: He ran for the state Assembly in 1998 as a Republican, touting the fact that he with his dad had founded the conservative Paul Revere Society (later stripped of its nonprofit status, and now redirecting Web browsers directly to Savage's site.)

So what's the deal?

"We're personal friends, went to the same high school at different times,” Weiner told me a short while ago. “And he's a businessman, I'm a businessman, so I hope he'll be good for the business community if he's governor."

Weird, but not relevant to anything.

Savage was a lib before he became a conservative talk show host

Ronald Reagan was a lib before he became teh most conservative President in our lifetimes. Dennis Miller used to be a liberal. So what's your point?

[TBP]

You clearaly haven’t read Dr. Savage’s books. No liberal could write those.

Hillary, like it or not, is the Secretary of State. Taht’s who he was appealign to, the Secretary of State, not to Mizz Klintoon. She just happens to occupy the office.

But the State Department does have an obligtion to help him out under the International Convention on Civil and Human Rights.

[TBP]

He doesn’t need to “give himself credibility.” He has the third largest audience in talk radio.

And back in 1978, the liberal areas in and around Washington DC gave a lot of money to Dave Durenberger ion his Senate campaign.

(That was becasue he was running against Bob Short, who had moved the Senators out of DC after the 1971 season.)

Sometimes political contributions are not political.

[TBP]

saw on another thread where you were supporting Savage in his case against the UK banishment

I guess CAIR told him to.

David Horowitz was a redidaipaer doper baby. Now he runs a solid conservative publication and website.

Ronald Reagan was a lib before he became the most conservative President in our lifetimes.

And his son is a flaming liberal activist. Let's see the Savag haters argue that RRonaldus Magnus wasn't a real coservative.

Neither, apparently, was Bill Miller, Barry Goldwater's running mate. His daughter is a screeching liberal talk-show hostette who did some time with Airhead Amerika.

Rockstar energy drink founder and CEO Russell Weiner is HOT!

[whatisthetruth]

That's it, no more Rockstar drinks for you, LOL!

Thanks to those of you who saw fit to weigh in in the defense of Savage, as you can see for yourselves it's impossible to reason with blind hatred no matter who's obsessed with it, as it opens those that succumb to it to wild delusions of grandeur like this one...

My views on Weiner match 99% of all other Freepers

Certainly there are varying opinions of Savage on FreeRepublic but there is only a small segment of them that actually feel that Savage is a liberal masquerading as a conservative, which most of us know is a laughable assertion.

The Savage/FreeRepublic Manifesto

As conservatives, Free Republic and Michael Savage are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty. And we believe that Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Amen to that statement!

I meant they are on opposite sides in the Dem primary. Maybe the Mrs. is for Villaraigosa.

Going for my green on Saturday.

Since taking Tang Soo Do, I look real tough...looking in the mirror. :)

"Your lid isn’t screwed on tightly."

I admit to that

Your hero and robot like worship of Weiner has you spewing out projections like it was Obama handing out welfare.

How can you reconcile the fact that Weiner accuses Isreal of being too weak one day, and when they started bombing the Hezzies, he took the Media's line and accused them of overreaching?

How can you reconcile the fact that Weiner and his family give money to the most vile left wing nuts that America has ever spawned?

How can you reconcile that fact that Weiner constantly attacks other Conservative talkers?

How can you reconcile that Weiner is FOR a minimum wage and will launch into a mocking gready white guy tone when defending this marxist ponzi scheme?

How can you reconcile that Weiner is often totally unbalanced and attacks his staff, guests and callers

I expect you to go down with the ship rather than see Weiner for what he is...a snake oil saleman.

We have an 11 month old mini-weiner. She can never be as nasty, mean and wacked out as Michael Weiner.
