I have heard more than one person say they’re suffering from talk radio burnout lately. It can get tedious to hear “Obama bad / Romney good” week after week. (Thank heavens we do have winning breaks, like the 2010 Tea Party led elections and the Wisconsin victory.)
I do like the variety Savage provides with the politics interspersed. It was surprising to hear that one caller who actually went to that address in New York today.
My fellow Americans: - As President and Commander in Chief, it is my duty to the American people to report that renewed hostile actions against United States ships on the high seas . . . repeated acts of violence against the Armed Forces of the United States must be met not only with alert defense, but with positive reply . . . We Americans know, although others appear to forget, the risks of spreading conflict. We still seek no wider war. . . I have informed instructed the Congress to pass a resolution making it clear that our Government is united in its determination to take all necessary measures in support of freedom and in defense of peace . . . And just a few minutes ago I was able to reach Senator Goldwater Governor Romney and I am glad to say that he has expressed his support of the statement that I am making to you tonight . . . It is a solemn responsibility to cancel the November elections . . . .
Yes, I agree.
I literally never missed a minute of his local show on KSFO from almost day one to the early part of the 2000s. He was giving it back to the liberals as they had piled on conservatives for decades. He changed conservative talk for the better.
I recall all the personal stories he tells today -- his on-air health advice and "Herbs That Heal" were very welcomed.
KSFO never permitted best of shows so there was always a guest host. I even wished that Savage would record "lectures" to broadcast on his off days instead (not as frequent as today and he did the full three hours).
Then came 9/11 and what some who should know have said is a threat more serious than WWII.
I do remember WWII. I wish Savage who is just a little bit younger than me would do less personal stuff and cover the myriad items of domestic and foreign existential threats. Few can match how he does it so effectively.
What would the Greatest Generation have done if the war had dragged on for ten-plus years? That would have never been permitted -- no matter what total victory required them to do. And I mean no matter what.
“But maybe it’s something else. Levin mentioned something that made me think that talk radio consultants are saying that talk radio should avoid talking about Obama and Romney so much. A cursory google search reveals consulting is big business. Go figure. How the hell do those charlatans get away with it?
Maybe they got Savage fooled and he spends hours talking about himself and doing “life coaching” or whatever.”
so you are saying radio consultants give advice to avoid romney and obama to get more listeners and/or stay popular?
that makes sense-the hosts want to make their money rather than send a message
epic fail
I don’t doubt that O’s people have a hand in influencing the ‘consultants’ to stay away from the campaign
savage and levin fooled? I believe it and it will take time to work out the numbers to see if the the consultants were right-they’ll probably figure it out after the election is over.
and no I am not listening anymore, but I do still read the threads
It was interesting to hear his interview with Jerry Falwell. I like Savage but he fails to understand a major tenet of Christianity, i.e., the exclusivity of Christ(John 14:6, Acts 4:12). That does not mean Christianity teaches that non-believers are less human(4/5 persons is the term Savage used) than those of us who believe.
Lots of LINKS to listen to the Savage radio show here!!! - updated 24-Feb-2011

Does Michael still go on angry , nasty rants? Man, he lost me a while ago...ever heard of Archie Bunker?
His speaking about 548 E. 13th Street could have been his invitaiton to go visit the place himself and get his soul saved.
Maybe he'll understand there is a link between the the tailor shop and the little church that now stands in its stead. A new ministry for him to replace the emptiness and futility of politics. Come home, Michael. :>
Angry, fer sure. Nasty? Depends on your point of view.
