Anybody remember the old Andy Griffith movie, "A Face in the Crowd"? I do. Excellent film.
I once read that at the time it was released, it was considered almost science fiction, because the concept of a demagogue captivating the nation and gaining huge power and fame via TV exposure seemed far-fetched. Today, of course, it's all too familiar (and so is the ending). A very prophetic film.

Those old folks in the nursing homes are also the people who never saw a tax increase they didn't like and kept sending Democrats to run the House and Senate since 1932.
Socialist whiners.

"I have spent my entire life in the field of alternative medicine trying to heal the world and bring comfort to the sick."
Such grandiose thoughts. We had no idea that he was trying to heal the world.

Which one is Savage?
To: Jeff Gordon
He's gone from 870 KRLA. Sounds like they're re-playing Dennis Prager's morning show.

Bozell: Typical - Fire Svage but Not Offensive Liberals
L. Brent Bozell, director of the Media Research center, says in his latest column that MSNBC was right to fire Michael Savage for his comments on air the other day, but Bozell wonders why some liberal reporters/commnetators who made equally offensive statements were not canned?
His examples - liberals who wished death on, or maligned conservatives on their programs:
Big mouthed Julianne Malveaux, who wished death on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: "You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. Others on her show protested, but Malveaux didnt back down. "Well, thats how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person.
She was not fired by PBS. Big surprise.
Another NPR loudmouth, Nina Totenberg wished death on Sen. Jesse Helms and his family after he suggested AIDS research was overfunded compared to more common life-threatening diseases: "I think he ought to be worried about whats going on in the Good Lords mind, because if there is retributive justice, hell get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it.
She was not reprimanded, nor fired, nor did she issue an apology. Shocker!
Liberal media bigshot Bryant Gumbel, after the appearance of conservative expert Robert Knight, said of him, "What a f**king idiot!" Bozell points out that the last two words, as in the Savage caller incident, were made inaudible, but the lip-reading was unmistakeable.
Bozelll says that MSNBC was merely experimenting with "cartoon conservatism" by airing the Savage show, but that does not excuse the lack of accountability when "liberal hate speech lights up the tube."

Savage is a big mouth, the kind of "conservative" the left loves to encourage. Your argument suggests to me that we can give a pass to President Bush to rob a savings and loan or have serial affairs with interns because someone else did it.

No, I saying that he was setup and punished for something that is not evenly punished.

Some posters are quite adamant that they are glad that Michael Savage is off of tv. Especially since they believe that he puts a bad face on conservatism.
If these people feel this way, I wonder why they aren't innundating the local stations that carry him on the radio to drop the show.
I know that G. Gordon Liddy was dropped in many markets after OKC (even though he was unconnected with that event).
