Right-wing radio host Michael Savage is a very angry man, or at least he has to pretend to be one in order to keep appealing to his audience which is primarily angry, older white men. Michael Savage probably isnt mentally ill, but it is very likely that more than a few members of his audience are. So what works better to rile up a bunch of conservatives who have nothing else to do on a weekday afternoon except get off on the latest imagined plot against their idea of America? Its a simple recipe just tell the audience that liberals or President Obama want to take something away from them and give it to someone they dislike. This time, its the good old standby African-Americans.
Michael Savage warned his audience on his radio show The Savage Nation last week that President Obama might try to force Americans to pay reparations for slavery during his final year in office, and then promised to lead an armed rebellion against the government if that were to happen.
Via Right Wing Watch:
Savage continued: I would lead an armed rebellion against the government if they try to push that one down my throat after ripping off my life with affirmative action and welfare, Im sick of it! And this gangster keeps getting away with it, this criminal in the White House, day in and day out, one lie after another, imperious, arrogant, hostile, aimed only at the white middle class. Look at his policies and tell me who hes going after. Open your eyes, you idiots! (Source)
With all of his ranting and raving, I wonder when Michael Savage is going to finally have an aneurysm on the air. Ive listened to this guy quite a few times, and from an advertising stand point, hes actually pretty clever. His voice gets higher and higher, his tone more agitated, climaxing in an explosive finish of white hot right-wing rage, followed by a sentence or two of conservative pillow talk before a commercial break where male enhancement products and other goods tailored to his audience are offered to them at a special discount when they use a special code from Michael Savage.

They're like that preacher who said he would set himself on fire if the Supreme Court ruled for marriage equity. He's now saying he didn't really mean it.

Maybe it's the surname. I'm sure we all remember "Carlos Danger".

(1,557 posts)In fact, the President's 16th, and my 15th, great-grandmother was a Savage. And there are lots of decent Savages out there.
The fact that this asshat radio "personality" has it, either as his real or stage surname, is pretty barf-inducing though.

(54,943 posts)He'd hide behind a microphone in some secure studio (probably in the Bahamas, or some such place) and exhort his armed minions to drive Obama from his last 18 months in office.
Republicans are always good at sending someone else off to fight their battles. How very courageous of them.
