Michael Savage floats possibility of a conspiracy by the Democrats to cause Roberts' seizure

[PA Democrat]

On the July 30 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage reacted to news that Chief Justice John Roberts had suffered a seizure that day by raising the possibility that "his health was in some way tampered with by the Democrats." Savage said, "Something's wrong with this picture," after noting that Roberts' seizure occurred just three days after Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) said he would seek in general to reject any future Supreme Court nomination made by President Bush. Schumer told the American Constitution Society (ACS) in a July 27 speech: "I will recommend to my colleagues that we should not confirm any Bush nominee to the Supreme Court except in extraordinary circumstances." Schumer said that, since the confirmation of Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, the court had come to represent "what a diminishing clique of conservative ideologues wish for."

Savage asked, "Am I to believe there's no connection between Charles Schumer on Friday saying he would never appoint, or never, excuse me, approve another Bush appointment to the court, to any court? And then the chief justice suffers a so-called seizure two days later? You're telling me there's no possibility of a conspiracy by the Democrats to have caused this seizure in some manner?" He added: "Tell me it's not possible, and I'll tell you you're a liar."

1. First, we got in our time machine and gave him one in 1993.

Then we used our cone of silence to keep it from coming up during his confirmation.

[PA Democrat]

5. LOL!

Michael Savage is crazy.

[NewJeffCT]

15. And I can certainly think of a lot better uses for a time machine

than giving Roberts a seizure in 1993 - like using it to go to Florida in November of 2000 for starters.

Or, stopping the big three assassinations in the 60s - JFK, MLK and RFK.

perhaps God heard his prayer. :evilgrin:

7. He's on to us, boys. Guess he'll have to be taken care of...

[lpbk2713]

8. It was Roberts' fault for not wearing his tinfoil hat.

If he had been wearing one it would have protected him. :eyes: :sarcasm:

[librechik]

10. Yeah, we all held a seance and directed a killer psychic blast at Roberts!

Oops! I think I just gave away Project X! Hope Agent Mike is not listening today...

[kenny blankenship]

11. Crazy? Stupid? Or just cleverly exploiting the crazy and stupid w/ AM radios?

[Cha]

12. No savage, you're not asked to

do anything except keep on with asshole ravings to incite shit on your hate filled airwaves.

What a dumbfuck. Doesn't he know repukes are the only ones who kill cause they can't get what they want?

[Ganja Ninja]

13. Damn it! He's on to us. There's no fooling Michael Savage.

:crazy: :silly:

[ComerPerro]

14. RW conspiracy theories vs LW conspiracy theories

LW conspiracy theories involve corporations and powerful figures making deals in backrooms to give themselves more power and profit, and then cover it up to hide their crimes.

RW conspiracy theories involve black helicopters, magic powers, that certain special kind of crazy required to believe them...

[dkofos]

16. More likely it was the *ush crime family warning him to support the coup.

[fooj]

17. Well, then that means the Repubs did it. It's always the complete opposite of what they claim.

[myrna minx]

19. Teddy Kennedy's sending his infamous seizure rays again!

34. Darn! How'd he find out about Operation Pikachu?

Clearly, there's a leak somewhere in the Organization...

[iamahaingttta]

24. I'll accept the possibility...

...that there was a conspiracy to cause Roberts to have a seizure, if he'll accept the possibility that Pat Tillman was murdered by a fellow soldier on the orders of the higher-ups, because he was about to come out against the Bush administration's plans to invade Iraq, and then it was covered up at the highest levels, and the death was used as a propaganda tool.

OK, Savage? Is it a deal?

[Solon]

27. I confess, I took a time machine back in time to implant a chip in his head...

It was supposed to control him, unfortunately I hooked it up wrong and it short circuited, my bad. :)

[EstimatedProphet]

29. He caught me. I gave him teh eplipsie

I put teh eplpisie evil eye on Roberts. Now he will have teh eplipsie forever.

[sallyseven]

30. The Savage Stupid is off the beam.

If the Dems had that much power Gonzo, Cheney, Bush, the rest of the cabal would be having seizures

[JacquesMolay]

31. He's right man ... it's the evil eye is what it is.

Everyone knows that Democrats can put the evil eye on people.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

32. You think it was the box of candy

Chocolate covered seizures, that I sent him?

[mondo joe]

35. If we had that kind of power, why would Cheney still be active?

Or is it his complex system of counter charms and evil defensive psychics?

[jazzjunkysue]

36. Mr. Savage: You're next. Have a nice day.

Ok, everyone. Strap on your seizure-beam helmets and aim them at the TV. Ready, aim, fire!

[NuttyFluffers]

37. uh... *rapidly hides candles and crystal ball*
