DISQUS

Savage should get himself a small boat and a grenade launcher and maybe someday he'll become a sugary breakfast cereal...

Michael Savage, the man whose love letters to Allen Ginsberg met with rejection in the 60's, and he has ranted like a lunatic against gay people ever since.

Yeah, he definitely needs a good teabagging to become less cranky.

I am really getting concerned with these wackos. These talk show nuts are out to make a buck; that I get, but what happens when some mental case goes over the edge and pulls a Timothy McVeigh?

Gary SF · 8 months ago

I agree. I think it has risen to the 'yelling fire in a crowded theater' level. Oh, I forgot, Hello Karol!

Hi, Gary. How's The City?

Gary SF · 8 months ago

Windy and cold! How about in your neck of the woods?

An_American_Karol · 8 months ago

Very windy. I just got back from Dallas, and my orange blossoms are on the ground, my fence is leaning, and I think I lost a tile or two on the roof.

Dude have some tolerance. It's about the gov taxing far too much. Prior to 1900 there was 0% income tax. That was the most prosperous time in our country's history.

Economics are difficult to understand, so it's not surprising there is confusion, but lower taxes encourage growth.

Why send your money to washington, to have a bunch of central planners pay themselves a salary, then send it back to you in a way THEY think will help you???

Keep the money, spend it wisely in your own way, volunteering, charity, for your family, etcetera.

From a wiser liberal, apparently

"Prior to 1900 there was 0% income tax. That was the most prosperous time in our country's history."

For who? the 19th century - particularly the 19th century from the civil war forward (btw, we had an income tax during the Civil War, Mr. Brainiac) was a horrible time for everyone but the ultra-rich.

The 1950's, on the other hand, when we taxed the rich at about 90%, was our most prosperous time.

Jesus, learn some history before you spout off like that.

Oh, he knows his history alright. He knows the 19th century was the most prosperous time ... for his kind, the greedy, corrupt, thieving, lying robber barons. Much much wealth created to enrich those already wealthy and those willing to abuse common people, steal from them and trample over their Constitutional rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, to say nothing of free speech, freedom of religion, etc.

This is also one of those guys who still believes in the White man's burden that is they need to enslave the brown races as the brown races are incapable of caring for themselves. That is slavery was only done for the benefit of the slaves.

Explain how our infrastructure will be maintained. Oh, and what was health care back in 1900?

Gridlock · 8 months ago

and roads will be payed for how? health care? defense?

so you're proposing a nation with no infrastructure, no public transit, no transportation, no military and no food distribution, disaster management, imports/exports...

wow, sign me right the hell up.

*eyerolls*

Hey Dr. Dude. Refresh your history about the distribution of wealth in the USA just prior to 1900. We're repeating that now. Ever been to Newport RI and looked at those mansions? Same thing's being done now.

Tell Savage that is a Bush-era Homeland Security Report.

Rogue Homosexual Elements sounds like the name of the rock band...

RainbowPhoenix · 8 months ago

"Extra-constitutional activity?" Does that phrase actually mean something or is it just something he came up with to make us sound insidious?

vkobaya · 8 months ago

He means trample the Constitution as we had in the Bush administration. That is, gays are out to take away our rights and turn the nation into a gay dictatorship. No, no, Bush didn't try to establish a gay dictatorship, I would say his ambition was more along the lines of a South American tin dictatorship. <g>

Savage is outing Napolitano and trying to paint her as a threat to the right-wing bigots...

you watch...Napolitano will soon be targeted by the fox noise nutjobs

When I read the headline, I thought Dan Savage was using irony as he cleverly does in his columns...

Then I saw it was Michael "Mad Dog" Savage, what is new?

I wouldn't report on him or other Bay Area Reichwing Media personalities, like Melanie Morgan. They are not only delusional, but don't have much gravitas, compare to Boss Limbaugh, or Glenn "can't even read history correctly" Beck.

benb · 8 months ago

The GOP has become a name-calling, anger-provoking radio talk show these days. No wonder Savage is up there with the...ahem....best and brightest of the Republican Party.

vkobaya · 8 months ago

Every time I think my stomach is finally strong enough to listen to this bullshit, they find something even more hateful and bigoted to sicken me again. As far as blaming homosexuals, that is total and uncalled for, scapegoating of the most vile, hateful sort. The threats from the right wing wackos is massive. Look at the gun sales, how they have gone around the bend to the point where they can't keep up with the demand. And then there is the governor of Texas claiming sovereignty for Texas ... isn't that how the Civil War started? Plus, not only is Homeland Security warning of extremist right wing violence, most other police agencies also have similar warnings. Not to mention the hateful charge that Napolitano is gay or that gays are the ones who are gun carrying, swaggering, lying traitors.

Gee, thanks for burning *that* image into my brain.

Did he provide examples of "extra-constitutional activity"? and where can I get some?

Chris From Maine · 8 months ago

A guy named "weiner" shouldnt talk too much about homosexual activities if u ask me.

mark · 8 months ago

That old queen Mitch McConnell has shifty eyes, and I definitely wouldn't turn my back to Lindsey Graham, Patrick McHenry or Daid Dreier.

I have such "icks" now.

Anti-gay wingnuts as a threat to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Marvelous. Glad their finally getting the picture!

Helen Rainier · 8 months ago

How in the world would Savage know that there are rogue elements in DHS, much less that they are homosexual? Are these people friends of his and they did a confession or what. I suspect he's talking out his ass.

kimbutgar · 8 months ago

I live in SF and it's so obvious that Savage is a closet homosexual. He used to be gay in the 1960's and got dumped by his lover. Yeah he's married with kids but he never mentions the wife on his show. It's sad that this self loathing closeted homosexual is even on the airwaves. The more he gets unhinged about the gay thing the more obvious it is he is scared of his own feelings!
