I listened to Michael Savage yesterday...
Edited on Sat Feb-18-06 12:05 PM by priller
Hey, I was driving across rural Texas, there was little to choose from.

However, it was a very interesting segment. He was all bothered about selling the ports to the company from UAE. As he should be. After blathering on about it for a long time, he interviewed Sen. Chuck Schumer, who has called for an investigation into the sale. They actually agreed on many points and Savage praised him often. After the interview Savage said that although he had never agreed with Sen. Schumer before, he was 100% right about this issue and the listeners should support him.

I think that caused heads to explode in the listening audience, because the callers that came on afterwards all sounded a little shell-shocked. The idea that a Democrat could be right on any issue just did not fit into their narrow little world view. "Hey Mike, I thought you were conservative?", one caller asks. Savage replies that he is, but that many Republicans in Washington are not really conservatives, and that Bush in particular is not very conservative. More heads exploding. "Mike, you can't be serious! What are you saying?", "Why are you listening to Democrats? You know you can't trust them", etc, etc.

It was really quite hilarious to listen to Michael Savage, of all people, get exasperated trying to get his audience to listen to facts. They were having none of it.

...Savage will drop a reality bomb.
Not often though.

2. Should have listened to Michael Moore
who tried to tell us who Bush was in bed with.

3. That was very interesting
and shows that my theory that some folks never pay attention to anything but party affiliation is at least partially correct. I bet if Bush said he was going to eat their children, and a Democrat came on Savage to disagree, these same bozos would be calling in saying the Democrat was the enemy.

4. They already endorse Bush feeding other folks children
to the war machine in Iraq. Why shouldn't they endorse his eating their own children?

5. Why should they believe Savage on this one ....
Just a month ago he was going after Schumer for opposing Alito, calling Democrats the "enemy within", and talking about the need to arrest dissenters as traitors in a time of war.

Savage is messed up in the head.
