Michael Savage: What a tool

I was listening to Michael Savage and I felt the experience was truly Sureal. He opened up the show with an attack on an unnamed blogger, now as I search through the top rated conservative bloggers this means Doc Savage or some underling of his googles the Savage Nation or the name Michael Savage to find out what people are saying about him.

Now, as my blog suffers from really low traffic I will use this narcissism to my personal benefit and hopefully the good doctor will insult me on his show and allow me to come on so I can plug my site.

Now its not bad enough that Michael Savage is about as "connected" on the blogger thing as Dan Rather, that can be forgivable, but his taking a blogger as an administration plant sounded like nothing more then the paranoid rant of an old man complaining about the "damned kids on the grass."

Talking about the first trade deficit in agriculture since 1959 might be a story, if you don't factor in several glut years ( when farmers had more product then they could sell) and a year that nearly destroyed agriculture in Florida ( a big ag state) these both with further data could have presented a more informed picture. But Michael you took the low road less ag=Mexican ag. Now, had you presented a better picture of the events, telling the story and weaving the news as you artfully do it would have been a good broadcast.

Talking about why 30 year olds are getting married and not 20 year olds. You know Dr. Savage 30 year olds tend to stay together when they marry vs. 20 somethings. Maybe the generation which was the first to grow up in a monumental scale in broken homes might not want to "F*** it up" like our parents did. But you instead had to attack the failing culture, the dying culture, of western America.

You attacked the President on why the elections on January 30th, while it is right to be a gadfly, you should be a gadfly that knows what he is talking about. Germany largely had a compatilbe culture to our own. Japan had a culture that tended to fall into line with a dominant force.... You always quote the 2 occupations that worked well mike.... The thing is the Us government did a lot more then two occupations.

In the early days of the 20th century we occupied much of central America and the islands, and you know the only thing that really lasted from that experience was baseball... And resentment from years of occupation in cultures that were not compatible with an American occupation.

You are a student of history Michael, but the truth is your not digging far enough down. You could blame this on the lack of reading of your audience, you could base it on some vague intellectual bias that is born from your academic past. But that would be a lie, the truth is Michael Savage you don't do enough of your homework because you only look for the facts that justify your positions. And you handle your callers in such a way that you eject them before you hear another side.

I'd say these things on your show through the call-in line but in addition to having the single rudest phone screener ever, you have that very gruff new York presentation that makes you a interesting figure to listen to.

If you want to "get" the blogger community and exist as a "cutting edge" media figure you want to be allot of us in the blogsphere like your product. Getting some one who can explain blogs to you, and who can make a halfway decent website would take you many miles in your online presence

Your A game has slipped since you fell off of television, in your most recent show ( from the very day I am posting this) your showing just how far you have fallen.

If you want to see another ten years in radio you better shape up
