IMHO Savage deserves it because he always cuts off callers rather than debate with them. It seems as though the caller was starting to talk about something else (maybe) but Savage refused to listen. Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity are much more willing to argue w/the callers.

Weiner himself has admitted it on his show that the reason he rarely debates with the callers is that he wants to create a "safe haven" for his listeners/viewers where they don't have to be exposed to liberal crap.

This attitude is rather patronizing and also the reason that he cuts people off so readily.

As far as the TV show went, it seemed doomed to failure and I can't believe that Weiner was foolish enough to even consent to such a terrible timeslot where everyone would be counting the seconds until the other shoe fell.

It's too bad he even bothers to take calls. I think his solo segments are highly entertaining and usually right. I also like the fact that he's willing to talk about nonpolitical subjects on the show. But his namecalling and superiority are unattractive however.

In my opinion, Savage is in the wrong business. He should've been a comedian or a writer.

I agree. His caller segments are annoying to me, but when he does his rambling commentary, it can get pretty funny. He just says whatever he wants, and has to stop and laugh at his own comments sometimes.

I didn't know that. Who needs a safe haven? I want the world be safe for freedom again. I WANT to hear what the leftists have to say. I WANT to know what they plan to do. I don't want to have someone wrap me in cotton and chew my food for me.

Agree. And I got tired of hearing, "You don't know this, but..." or "You'll only hear this from me. I'm the only talk show host with this issue" - a day or two after we've put up 300 posts on FR on the same subject.

That is a major reason I don't listen. I want to hear more than the surface of an issue, and I don't want to hear him take credit for something that's been posted here first. We deserve a lot better than that.
