Pretty amusing... nutty at times, but that's part of the draw. His ideas can be strange at times... don't think he's that well-informed on some issues (haven't listened in a while, though).

Mr. Kablamo Quoted:
Blowhole he is. Go and visit his website and he is hawking his wares. He is right on lots of issues and that's what keeps him on but he is still a blowhole.
Small wonder He does live in San Fransisco and in Frisco those are issues they string you up on.

LONGEYES - "To keep it gun-related...Savage has talked of owning a Glock and an AR-15."
Yep, Savage has spoken of his Glock and Ar15.
On the other hand, Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown, is extremely anti-guns owned by us worker peasants. He does not believe in private ownership of firearms and wants them confiscated. Brown is as anti-guns as is the present extremely left wing liberal Kalif. A.G., Bill Lochyer.
I lived in Kalif., for 35 years, and "Moonbeam" Brown was the nuttiest, fruitiest Gov. that Kalif. had during the time I was there.

All the ignorant critizisms of Rush that aren't true are true of Michael Savage. He is way over the top.
They both profess support of gun owners.
The only right wing radio host that I KNOW is pro gun is Laura Ingraham.
I stumbled across her show and she was auctioning on the air a special edition SIG!!
Proceeds went to the education of fallen soldiers children.
Right wing radio is great and I especially enjoy Michael Medved (also professes to be pro gun).
None of them do my thinking for me (that is what they told me to tell you
).

He says the right thing sometimes but he also sounds like a retard. You can almost hear the spittle flying off his lips as he rants. He is not a good spokesman for the conservative side, imho.
As Art noted, I'd like to buy him for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth.

At times, he is a bright light in an otherwise grey world. I like him most of the time.

I disagree with most posters here. I think he is more on the money than any other radio/tv type. He has warned of Islamo-facism, and is telling Americans to be prepared for anything. Who else tells you that out there? If everybody out there is just a windbag, then who do you listen to, and what is the point of listening to anyone? I must add that I do not like the term Junkie.. He used that tonight when I caught a piece of his show. I prefer addict since I am one that is recovering...

I listen to him regularly. Sometimes I turn him off when he gets "on one", but I generally find his views educational.
He has mentioned owning guns in a positive light many times. And he has criticized CA's gun control mentailty as being stupid--disarming the victims to guarantee a safer working environment for criminals.

Savage Love, No -- different guy
Joe Demko, not sure if you were kidding or not, but, No -- different fella
The sex-advice one is *Dan* Savage, and though I don't know his gun politics, he's happier living in a city (Seattle) where the occasional defensive shooting may raise *some* eyebrows, but not the other Savage's city (San Francisco) where defensive shooting is considered a contradiction in terms.
They're both nice cities -- a vast understatement! -- but Washington (and Yes, even Seattle) has a sane approach to firearms ownership compared to California.

He's local and he makes my head hurt. He isn't the biggest horse's ass on local radio though, that's Fred Honsberger.

I've lived in Calif. for decades; you don't have to convince me about Jerry Brown. I'm not endorsing Savage's preference for Brown.
Savage is a berserker. That's very true. But we live in berserk times. He throws a very hard, focused light on a few things. As with most people and most things, you take what's useful and discard what isn't.
He's definitely pro-2A but takes the position that "guns" are "death on radio." Obviously I don't agree with him and neither would the rest of the people on this forum,.

For us M*******s, we like to listen to http://www.howiecarr.com/ Howie Carr. Though I don't always agree with him at least he is sane and professional over the radio unlike many political radio hosts. He seems pro gun but who really knows today. Most conservatives tout themseleves as progun, but few in fact are progun. Its just a tagline to get more listeners or votes.

Like it or not, sometimes the Dem on the ticket is indeed better than the Repub (say, a staunchly gun-grabbing (R) vs. a pro-RKBA (D)). Voting general principle is great, but you have to look at the individual cases too.

If qualified by saying in State or local races I would agree.
In Illinois Glen Poshard (D) sp? would have been better than George Ryan (R) for Governor. Hindsite being what it is he would have been the right choice.
There is too much at stake to play games with national elections. If the situation were reversed these days, Democrats holding all three branches of government, you can bet the national gun laws would be ten times worse than the old AWB.

Savage is one of the ignorant voters. Too lazy to do any research to find out about those running for office.
Because he has never heard of the guy, that means the guy is no good? By now now he must know Browns politics.
Useful idiot.
Brown is the Mayor of Oakland which is the 8th most dangerous city
http://www.morganquitno.com/cit07pop.htm#25
I suppose though since he is just the Mayor its not his fault. After all he is not a cop or a District Attorney.

If Savage is pro gun wouldn't one think that he would be aware of the NRA? Being so aware of the NRA, wouldn't one think to look at the NRA candidate ratings in order to present the appearance of a sober decision being made?
And being pro gun wouldn't one do what one could to advance the pro gun culture? Maybe even look into why the other candidate (Poochigan) is not supportable? Something less ignorant sounding than the stated reasons.

Michael Savage starts talking about the "sodomites" and I stop listening. I could care less what his opinions on the second amendment are. I hope he gets hit by a dump truck.
Offend me hard enough on one issue and I stop listening to you on all of them (see also: Dave Grossman...)

Savage is basically a big act. His real name is Michael Weiner.
I listened to him before he was syndicated. He occasionally would say that he owns guns but I don't know if that's real or BS.
Once, he did an hour about guns (he would never talk guns previously - using the excuse that there were other hosts on the station who did that) and he asked if there was any situation where you would not want a gun in the house.
Some woman called and said that she wouldn't want guns in the house because she had kids. Savage agreed! He said that when his kids were small, he got all the guns out of the house. That it wouldn't be safe. He went on with this line of thought (?) for about 15 or 20 minutes before someone reminded him that one of his biggest sponsors was a safe company in San Jose that advertised gun safes. He laughed and said that you could get a safe - like it was a joke.
He also flip-flops more than John Kerry. Savage was a big supporter of Pat Buchanan in the 2000 presidential primaries. He said Pat was right on target with all of his views and had him as a guest on the show. Then, Savage had an argument (off air) with Pat's sister (and campaign mananger) Bay Buchanan. The next day, Savage spent the whole show saying what an idiot Buchanan was and proceeded to go down the line explaining why he was wrong on all the important issues. Savage announced that he was supporting John McCain - that he was right about everything.
The next day, Savage had McCain call in as a guest. Savage went through all the important issues and McCain disagreed with every single view that Savage held. After that, Savage announced that McCain was no good. I don't recall who, if anyone, he supported after that.
Bottom line - Savage is only interested in himself. The whole show is an act. Larry the Cable Guy is more authentic.

I am a long time fan of the good Doctor
I have not read the rest of the thread, so I'm not predjudiced by what others have said...
Savage is correct 99% of the time and the man is a genius.
You have to listen for a year or so to really grasp how smart the guy is.

He generally supports it & has a ccw. He doesn't talk about guns to much , he once said that most people are not interested in the difference between a .223 & a WSM and that gun people will talk about reloading for hours on end.

For a guy who is an "act", Michael Savage certainly sticks his neck out beyond anyone I know of speaking his political views. He is probably at the top of the Fatwa death wish list for any media personality in America, If he knows what is good for him he had better believe in the 2nd ammendment.

^^ He's not real popular with some here in Ca who sees
his endorsement of Jerry Brown as a slap against the
pro-gun front either.

Savage's views are certainly as valid as anybody else on the radio. He's not another GOP lapdog like Hannity and Limbaugh, plus he's more entertaining. You have to listen to WHAT he says rather than HOW he says it. Don't get caught up in 'form over function'.

I generally like Savage in that he expresses the blunt anger of the right wing. Sometimes things should be said which most won't say.
That said, he does come unglued fairly often. When one caller wanted to raise the "pot vs. alcohol" debate, Savage went on the most surreal rant I've heard - babbling about seagull migration and Japanese eating plastic sushi.
He's great to have on the air. Some of what he says is indeed brilliant and blunt. Sometimes, however, he truly does come across as a loon.
