Here's my email to the two dell representatives:

Comments????

To whom it may concern -

I am interested in purchasing a new laptop and had pretty much decided
on a Dell..... until I heard you pulled your advertising from the Savage
TV show that was going to be appearing on MSBNC.

I'm not sure if it was some Gay-rights organization or others that
convinced you to do this, but unless you change your mind, I will
purchase my computer from another vendor.

It's a shame that here in the USA that oranizations like NOW are more
concerned with the Masters Golf Tournament than injustices and known
inhumane treatment of women in so many countries.

I would expect more from an organization like Dell. There is freedom of
choice - and I know you have to balance your choice of losing business
by sponsoring the show and losing consumers. But we consumers have
choices to.... driven by principle that extremist groups will not impact
our decisions.

I hope you change your minds... and policies. I think you make the best
computers on the market! Shame some of us won't support companies that
are intimidated by extremist groups. There is a grass-roots movement
that is occuring because of your actions.

My best regards.

A standard letter or petition would be nice...... nice if someone smarter than I drafted one and put it somewhere where we could all use it.

Hope someone does.... for all six companies.

Savage is like Rush, but without any manners (ha!) . . . the guy has a decent conservative message, but it can't get through because he's such a meathead

Michael Savage: To Hell with the Conservative Media !

"I'll put my advertising in the liberal media," Savage said, sounding off on the lack of conservative media and conservative website coverage his new show received, after its airing on MSNBC, this past Saturday.

He went on the attack mentioning the "Great Bill O'Reilly with tongue in cheek" and other "talking heads" on the "conservative and liberal aisles going out" after their shows with their guests, with whom they had just argued with in front of the camera, "for martinis and discussing how they had screwed the audience". Savage believes his show will be different and true to the audience.

I bought his book. Now he can prove himself to the public that MADE (by word of mouth) his book a best seller for over 5 weeks. He wants you to read his book in a public place on the 31st of March to PROMOTE his book. He's reading his book on the show. I haven't opened the book yet and feel I have read it already!

I for one think Mike Savage is a rude, vulgar creep. I don't run a Fortune 500 company, but if I did, I'd never advertise on his show.

And the majority of Americans don't want to hear about gay controversy either.

It's impossible to know whether that's true or not until both sides of "gay controversy" is heard. Right now, only one side's point of view is openly discussed -- the pro-homo side. Fear of the GLAAD gang prevents open, fair debate.

In Canada, there is no debate allowed; if you say something that offends homosexuals badly enough, broadcasters can be censured by a semi-official board if the supposedly offending remarks went out on their airwaves. That is what happened to two Canuck stations that carried the Dr. Laura radio show.

Sent them all a letter of my own as well. Carry on, fellow member of the Commonwealth.

But Michael Savage's conservative bona fides are unproven, IMO. He hasn't earned the benefit of my keystrokes in his defense.

I have to agree with you. I remember how he courted the Gore campaign for several days after some imagined personal slight by the Bush people (who undoubtedly had no idea who he was). The Savage show is all about Mike.

<Amen.

Free speech for everyone, but let him figure out how to get advertisers without my help.

He just goes off sometimes and says some of the strangest things. He often has his facts mixed up or outright wrong. If he were better informed and not so intent on making waves at the expense of accuracy, it would be a different story.

My favorite is Michael Medved. He is so darn smart, well-informed, interesting, a gentleman, and reasonable. Don't understand why his numbers aren't right up there.

I had the extraordinary bad luck to be stuck in a car last night with his show tuned in, and he was practically screaming in a diatribe about Mr. Smart being an example of how America was doomed because he was showing great relief at having his daughter back, and not, as the blowhard Savage stated, 'asking for his testicles in a jar'.

Savage is a damned idiot, and I will be pleased when both he and his show fail and he can go back to being a snake-oil nutritional huckster under a rock somewhere.
