To those that don't know Savage or listen to him, he claims to be an "independent conservative"... He surely does espouse some conservative views, but the vile he spews towards Bush, his cabinet, and other Republicans and GOPers could be mistaken for Air America trash.
It would be easy to blow him off as another looney blow-hard, but he's the 3rd most listened-to talk show host in the nation... He has over 8 million listeners, and in calling himself a conservative, he DOES have some real influence there. He's supposed to be on our side, but shifts positions so often, he's become a joke. He embodies every lefty criticism of our side.
In listening to parts of his show last night, he has the following things to say, in a short time span...
* Syria isn't nearly as bad as Iran, they can be spoken to, they don't threaten Israel, they are nationalists not fundamentalists
* The war was started to benefit Oil companies.
* Blasted Bush to no end, said Rice should have been fired a long time ago, blasted the rest of the cabinet
* Said it was OK for Pelosi to go talk to Syria
* Asked why is there a division between GOP and Dems, why do we automatically assume everything they do should be hated, etc.
In my view, this scum is far more dangerous than Air America and nearly every lib out there. He's pretending to be a conservative, yet does more damage to our causes than any other non-politician I can think of, because he has the influence to sway people.
This guy is an utter disgrace and a phony.
Did she come back with some breakthrough treaty or agreement that I missed? What specific negotiations do you speak of, and what outcome is she boasting?
“Do you have a link or a transcript of the Pelosi segment plus the Syria comments?”

You can’t be serious can you? What do you think she went over there for kicks?
It would be a serious mistake to assume that because America and Israel have a tough time fighting terrorists who "fight" in this manner that either nation is somehow not up to its previous miltiary butt-kicking capabilities. ......as I suspect the deluded will be finding out soon enough.
You were the one who said she violated a law forbidding her from negotiating. What did she negotiate?
I agree, but Israel clearly lost a lot of face and came across as inept and losing.
I hope they have the clarity to see what the problems were and address them.
To be fair, Savage lost a few major market timeslots to Miller, though he is well along in fixing those losses.
Now now Lormand let's stay focused and keep to the issue at hand, I see no mention of any 'bot-talk' in this discussion save for what YOU are bringing up.
I have no idea what these other points you are trying to make, I have no power to make ANYONE do or not do what they wish nor do I attempt to try.
I have no problem with your so-called 'Weiner' critics other than that spewing distortion and misinformation or merely misunderstanding what Savage has said on his show does not do the conservative cause any good in my opinion and THAT should be the biggest threat to Conservatism and not Michael Savage.
I believe we heard the same words from Savage but I found them to have meaning other than did you.
I could live with Romney, that is with the little I know of him so far. Fact is, I believe he will be the nominee. The Veep is the question. I am wary of Fred Thompson, because of his Hollywood association.
The running mate will be key.
“Rudy Judiani is an open borders liberal who supports the idea of sanctuary cities. No candidate with such a record can claim to be tough on terrorism because their policies facilitate attacks on American soil.”
POST OF THE DAY!!
Picking up the live slot in LA on the Home of the Angels no less, is huge. 8 days of Miller ‘chipping away’ though? I think it takes 4-6 weeks for the trends to be released. The PM’s that installed Miller are praying that he’ll be a safe alternative to Savage.
I agree and said so on the Savage Nation thread yesterday. I speculated that Savage’s negativity yesterday had a bit to do with some behind the scenes crap - I don;t think the KRLA situation went down well at all, though he is now on a station just as powerful in the market, and live.
He is clearly angry at losing the slots to Miller, but in the end it will all work out.
If you will recall, last August, the IDF was making their biggest push into southern Lebanon and at the same time, France and the U.S. were frantically pushing the cease-fire resolution at the U.N..... which came just at the time there were the most Israeli troops in So. Lebanon.
Granted, the Israeli political leadership was wussy but it seemed their generals were making some headway, and other players on the “international scene” did not want to see a resounding defeat of Hezbullah. I’m not sure all blame rests with Israel.
The point is that Savage’s rantings at the time were of the “throw the baby out with the bathwater” type, which is very typical of him and is more an indicator of his wild moodiness than of any political acumen.
The IDF putzed around for about a month with nothing much to show for it. Weak.
EXACTLY!
You could have stopped there. After that gross lie, your post has NO credibility. NONE
