Interesting tidbit, Micheal Savage is banned from entering the UK. Not because he did anything, just because of his view of Muslims.

He's had the 3rd largest radio show in America for a long damned time, but he get virtual media blackout constantly. He's kinda like the Ron Paul of the political talk world.

Wait, what? You mean this in a serious way, like you turn the radio on and listen to this guy? I mean, I do too sometimes, but not because he makes sense or anything.

I always lol at his real last name. Alex Jones always had interesting things to say about him too.

Yup, I've been listening to talk radio since I was about 14. I literally don't have many choices when I'm not at a computer, so I listen to whatever stations I can pick up, I don't dig sports so political talk it is. He is pure entertainment value, I disagree with a lot of what he has to say, but the guy is damn smart, funny and entertaining as hell. He's a talk show master, he doesn't always talk about politics, in fact a lot of his show isn't political, I enjoy those parts the most. :')

He is really funny about Muslims, I'll give him that. He's also one of the few talk show hosts who's equally entertaining in monologue and with callers.

Yah, you get the idea. He's damn good at was he does without being dry and boring. There is not a single liberal talk show host on any station that I've ever picked up, ever. Welcome to Kansas.

Even when I got Air America, I listed to right-wing radio. Far more entertaining really.

Dan Savage is insane, but you can't say he isn't entertaining.

Edit: and by Dan, I meant Michael. I shall leave that there unedited as a beacon of my shame.

What are his views on Muslims?

> On April 17, 2006, he said of Muslims, "They say, 'Oh, there's a billion of them.' I said, 'So, kill 100 million of them, then there'll be 900 million of them.' I mean, would you rather die—would you rather us die than them?"

> Savage was quoted as saying Muslims "need deportation", and that adherents of Islam would do well to "take your religion and shove it up your behind" because "I'm sick of you."

> The excerpts included Savage's characterization of the Qur'an as "a throwback document" and a "book of hate".

Unrelated, but this made me laugh:

> When a caller challenged Savage about his talk show rhetoric, Savage called him a "foaming lunatic... someone in pajamas in a mental asylum... You’re nobody and I’m not going to talk to you!" At that point, Savage ended the interview. Political commentators later remarked on the "hypocrisy" of Savage's comments on the show, "It's quite ironic that someone like Michael Savage sees no hypocrisy in strongly defending his right to the First Amendment only to show outrage and intolerance a few minutes later toward the views of someone else he doesn't agree with."

Because he's an idiot. He isn't an idiot because he's a conservative - I know plenty of intelligent fiscal conservatives (being socially conservative is another matter entirely) - he's an idiot because he's an idiot. He tends to spawn a lot of conservative versus liberal arguments, but I've never seen why. Even on the issues I agree with him on, I don't think I've ever seen him make a decent, coherent point that stands up to fire.

Edit: two dashes provoke a strikethrough? That's silly.

It has nothing to do with being stupid but it might fuel his anti Muslim sentiments.

Actually he's very smart, he has a PHD etc, etc. He's just very emotional, certainly the most entertaining political talk show host around, Glen Beck used to be pretty good too, back in the late 90's early 00's, I don't remember Glen's transition from good to lunatic, there was no defining moment that I recall, but listen to his to his early stuff and you probably wouldn't think it was the same person.

I was not, necessarily, referring to his intelligence. Definition of idiot:
> an utterly foolish or senseless person.

He's an misanthropic emotional infant.

Keep in mind that he has a talk radio show. Inflammatory comments, moral outrage, and opinionated rants are tools of the trade for him, and I think he has figured out that people don't tune in to listen to someone reasonable explore all sides of an issue at length. He's not trying to be a pundit; he's trying to be a personality. It's sad, but that's how talk radio goes.

> Edit: two dashes provoke a strikethrough? That's silly.
I hate this too. Go to use an em dash, and you've suddenly crossed out the rest of your post. :/
