What is the text that says all will be made known? Why would Savage think it makes a diffrence to people what he says in private and what he says on the air?

[smith288]

Basically, "Sorry you guys heard me...I thought I was off the air."

Savage is not a good rep for the conservative cause no matter how brilliant he is. His lack of common sense and innability to "play the game" by talking with a smidgen of decency has ruined his chance at TV.

[sarasota]

Is this an authorized site? The photos are bizzarre.

Savage is a kook who is clearly unable to conduct himself in a professional manner...

[SamAdams76]

Not that I really care either way about Savage's TV show. MSNBC could show him 24 hours a day for all I care. But Savage has been on the air doing his radio show for years now. He is a seasoned professional. He should know by now not to take the bait of "set-up" callers. Also, is he trying to tell us that he doesn't know whether he is "on the air" or not? Unless things have changed drastically since I was last in a studio, there is this big "ON THE AIR" sign that lights up right in front of you. Sounds lame to me. Why can't he just say he lost his composure and leave it at that. People can understand that. I've done it myself at times. Which is probably why I'll never have my own TV show either.

Savage is abrupt and at times brutal in his response; however, that does not reflect his REAL INTENT as one must listen between the verbiage lines. His history indicates that he is neither anti-Gay nor a Racist. To understand Savage, you must have intellect!!

[BrooklynGOP]

In no way did my comments reflect my views

That is priceless :P

[null and void]

When he was local he was GREAT. Then he got the "fastest growing syndicated talk show" and it didn't grow fast enough to keep up with his ego.

I miss the old Michael Savage, the one who wasn't so abrasive, the one who didn't cut off callers, the one who listened...

[Michael.SF.]

I use to think that Savage's on the air act was a persona that he developed so as to garner attention, controversy and ratings. Then I was at a local watering hole in North Beach, one which he had mentioned on the air on more then one occassion. I opened up a conversation with one of the bartenders and asked about Savage. His comment:

'That asshole, he drives more customer's away each time he shows up.'

In further conversation it turned out that Savage carries his anger and attitude with him off the air, as well as on. Too bad, because underneath all of the bombast lies a lot of truth.

[OldFriend]

So Savage responded with his own mean spirited vicious response.

Unfortunately,we are held to a higher standard and ought to adhere to that higher standard as we set the tone for our beloved country.

[McGruff]

a competitive talk show

Anybody know what competitive talk show he is talking about?

[concerned about politics]

this was an interchange between me personally and a mean spirited vicious setup caller

Yep. The liberal special interest groups are bitter, evil mutants out to destroy this country from within. It's in the Marxist handbook. They're just following their agenda. They bowed down to Satan years ago.
They're just starting to show their real colors. Thank God the good people of this country are noticing - and the colors aren't that of the rainbow, either. They're black as hell.

[MHGinTN]

Didn't see this posted? ... I'm not surprised. We don't do the spincycle for media folks, usually.

[bmwcyle]

Did you call the show to set him up?

[Richard Kimball]

Anybody remember the old Andy Griffith movie, "A Face in the Crowd"?

[metalboy]

Lithen! Ath hith name implieth, he`th a THAVAGE!! He`th a brute and he`th thilly!

[Mo1]

He should have known better ..

I'm sure this is not the first nor will it be the last crank caller

[TommyDale]

Here's a positive spin on Savage's firing from MSNBC -- Now they will have far fewer Conservatives watching MSNBC. If they would only cancel Joe Scarborough's program....then FOX could hire them and put MSNBC completely off the air.

[Sicon]

Good riddance to Savage. On several occasions, both on radio and TV, I watched him get so bent out of shape that he was unable to clearly articulate his position/argument. He ended up looking very much like the typical hysterical liberal, only coming from a right-wing viewpoint.

Its too bad, because he is often right, and has solid arguments to make. But ultimately, he is just so abrasive that he is ineffective.

I can longer hear him on the radio (as WABC in New York has dropped him, most likely for good), or see him on TV, and I won't miss him.
