MSNBC fires Michael Savage

Liberalism means "no accountability"
Liberals scream about the 1stA until it pertains to them- then the alphabet networks protect them by being silent when they bash conservatives, but go into hyperdrive when it happens the other way around.
Savage is still on over 300 radio stations, good stations, too...even one in liberal Boston, but the call letters fail me now....
So, what to "we the people" do about those who bash & get away with it?
CZ-75- I heard all that today & there was one more liberal who got away with another inflammatory remark, mentioned on Boortz's show this morning.
sw442642- man, it sounds like you're really angry for some reason- do you have something to back that up? Do YOU have something to hide?
And, by the way, a writer in the SanFran Chronicle found & exposed the crank caller who called Savage! He named him (I didn't have anything to write on in the truck on the way home) & said he made a hobby of calling shows & spouting crud to incite negative reactions. He'd been on CNN about 25 times, and a bunch more on other shows like Larry King, et. al. He also does his best to mention his fave radio show, which originates in Washington, D.C.
Being a computer programmer, he probably needs some excitement in his life- and he may get more than he bargains for, if he hits on the wrong one one day!

You're joking, right?
It's commonly known that the Constitution only restricts conduct by the government, not private individuals or companies.
MSNBS is not bound by the Constitution.
Interesting thought
from someone ar Real Clear Politics.com:
That Savage was hired for the same reason that when the media want to feature a conservative they go to people like Jerry Falwell: they think Savage is representative of conservatism, that all conservatives are troglodytes. When they want to snag the conservative audience, they use someone like Savage because that's how they think we really are.

You mean we aren't?
Seriously, Mike, I think Savage has "got issues" (as Oprah says) when I hear his ranting but I've got a problem with people right here on THR, who should know better but have a particular axe to grind applauding his demise when 90% of what he stands for is right and in line with their liberty beliefs.

Unfortunately, if you listen to most of the conservative talk show hostss out there, the face of Conservatism IS that of a troglodyte.
O'Rilley? Idiot and largely incompetent.
Savage? Moron with serious issues.
Rush? Blow hard.
G. Gordon? Good message, well delivered, but the association with Watergate is still a killer.
Cal Thomas? One of the true shining lights of Conservative commentary.

Mike: Any comments on...
Sean Hannity...
Glenn Beck...
Neil Boortz...
Mark Davis...?
As for Liddy, his record looks pretty good compared to Bill Clinton, Robert Byrd, Marion Berry, and most of the liberal "spokespersons"...

There is a guy named Ken Hamblin who I used to catch in the evenings. He was really pro gun and when his minority callers would discover he was black, it was funny hearing him to tell them get a job, etc. Yes, Clarence Thomas is not the only black conservative.
Anybody who has read "Will" will know that G. Gordon has his bona fides. If you haven't, check it out.
BTW, the few times anybody has brought up talk radio hosts in conversation I have defused any acrimony by pointing out they are entertainers, what do you expect? If they stuck to stating their exact beliefs they would be out of dialog in five minutes. They have to puff it up just like any entertainment that is recurring. People shake their heads and say, "Yeah. That's right."

Savages' firing proves once again that this country is so ripe for a fascist leader who will take the controversial topics, the un-PC topics, and capitalize on them for his ascension. Instead of talking about controversial topics, we relegate them to secret conversations at the coffee pot. There is a lot of repression in America, but no one wants to talk about it.

Hannity I'm still out on. There's the masking influence of his pathetically liberal compatriot, though, so it's often hard to get a true read on Hannity.
Glenn Beck & Mark Davis I've not heard of before. Where are they out of?
Neal Boortz? I'm not sure if he's on in Washington, DC. I've never been able to find him here if he is.

Glenn Beck is out of Philidelphia, nationally syndicated. He's conservative and uses alot of irreverent humor to get his message across. Might be worth a listen. He has a 3 hour show but I think the only station near you that carries him live for all 3 hours is WRVA 700, Richmond.
Charlottesville WCHV-AM 1260 10a-12p ET
Harrisonburg WKCY-AM 1300 10a-12p ET
Richmond WRVA-AM 1140 9a-12p ET
Waynesboro WINF-AM 970 10a-12p ET
Washington DC WTNT-AM 570 2pm-4pm ET
Dover WDOV-AM 1410 9a-12p ET
VM Radio channel 166
Mark Davis, don't know.
Neal Boortz is out of Atlanta I think, but is not syndicated as far as I know.

No, I'm right outside of Washington, DC, so the WTNT would be the station for me.
However, in the building I'm in, there's no way for me to get TNT, or anything else on AM.
That's why I don't listen to G. Gordon anymore. I simply can't.

Radio shows & troglodytes
Boortz must be syndicated...he's out of Atlanta, but we get him here in Mobile on WABB AM 1480...they used to have Liddy, but he got bumped for that idiotic Washington D.C. duo. Over the years, I've seen this station swing wildly between the left & the right and so far, it has swung rightward again- they have some good shows, especially on the weekends. Funny, since the same guy has owned it for over 35 years or so- I worked for a company that sold him his generator equipment.
And I'd rather be a troglodyte than a feminized male, like the liberals are trying to make us! Boys with a high activity level are drugged with Ritilin, men of the same ilk are forced into "sensitivity training". Look at Doug Williams, the dimwit who killed the folks & committed suicide at Lockheed Martin in Meridian, MS AND the boys who shot up Columbine H.S.- ALL of them were herded into "sensitivity training". Williams came out MORE angry & immediately killed folk, while the Columbine boys got high marks from the psychiatrist before they did their deed. Seems like to me the liberals wand to emasculate men while masculating women
I was told by the husband of a now-retired A.T. & T. employee that the "sensitivity training she was herded into and forced to watch was nothing but a homosexual porno flick, and the "straight" emplyees were expected to be "sensitive to these people's needs".
Heck, what's a normal person to do when his/her life is disrupted by being force-fed repugnant garbage?
What I say is, long live Savage and others of his likeness, no matter what others think. If the liberals had their way, conservative radio, TV and print would be labelled as "hate crimes" and would be shut down; even "thought" could be labelled as a hate crime and us trogs will be put away forever, while the liberal swine have their sick, twisted way with our sons & daughters.:what
Note this: I have noticed that NO MATTER what happens, liberals support one another, while conservatives leave a blood trail if one of their own make a mistake...why is that?

It's because of a defect most conservatives and libertarians are afflicted with....the belief that people are responsible for their own actions.
Most Liberals are like gang members. No matter what another member of the gang does, they will back them up no matter how wrong and illogical it may be, and the end always justifies the means.
Sergeant Bob:
What you have described here is one of the differences between the evil and the stupid party. I have seen women who would smack a sexual harrassment suit on you for looking at them crosseyed gush over Bill Clinton and brush off his peccadilloes as if he were being persecuted like Christ. The same call Hillary the smartest women in the world. It's not smart, it's low cunning in my opinion.

Geek, does it bother you that the majority of media outlets are owned by a small group of very wealthy individuals who have, at very minimum, a very elitist attitude. Or that they are currently lobbying for even bigger monopoly rights. Or that MSNBC has all the characteristics of the baronies and duchies our Constitution tried so hard to eliminate in the US.
Rights of association are for people, not multi billion dollar corporations.

Yes, Limbaugh is a blowhard and I often disagree with him, but he's funny.
Savage is an angry child. He's the "conservative" answer to Ted Rall.

Mike Irwin: Since others have answered about Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity , I'll fill you in on Mark Davis...
He's a conservative talk host out of Dallas. He does a daily show on WBAP, but he has a syndicated weekly show on Sundays 12noon CST. He's originally from Virginia, IIRC. I don't always agree w/ him, but he's an intelligent person.
You can find out more about him & listen to either of his shows on the WBAP website . I believe the main ABC radio station in DC also carries his show.
Also, check out the KLIF website . It's the other main talk station in Dallas. They have a guy named Darryl Ankarlo whose pretty good, too.

I'm actually quite suprised by the amount of negative attitude to Savage in general. He is hard to take, but does preach a pro-freedom/pro-USA message and values that I agree with. While he rarely mentions firearms issues, the times that he has, he has been pro-gun and in our court. I support him and listen regularly.
As far as Rush is concerned, the best time to listen to his show is when he is on vacation and Walter Williams is filling in.

I also enjoy Roger Hedgecock (sp?) when Rush is gone....

Ian,
Sometimes the most favorable message can be drowned out by the oppressive amount of static.
That's the case with Savage.

I listen to a sports talk radio host (quality sports talk, pathetic person) who routinely tells people who call into his show that he gets mad at to drive their cars into telephone poles and get killed. I also believe, if my memory serves me correctly that he has made the same "hope you get aids and die" statement, though it wasn't a lifestyle slur, just a hateful comment He's gone off to anger management classes, but never lost his job. Oh, he's also a big time liberal, and spouts his political views on the air all of the time, though it has nothing to do with a sports show.
No apologies for Michael Savage here because what he said was incredibly stupid. I would bet that the treatment would have been different if it had been a liberal host like Phil D. telling an abortion clinic protestor that their religious beliefs were just a manifestation of a severe psychosis, and that they and all people like them should meet a heinous demise for the good of America. Support for liberal Phil's right to free speech would be heralded from news media studio rooftops all across the nation.
Nothing newsworthy about the A.P. story that we don't already know. Michael Savage is indeed a loose cannon, and MSNBC was, I'm sure, never comfortable having him on board anyway.
BTW, Mike Irwin,
Very close, but I differ:
O'Rilley? Jerry Springer type opportunist.
Savage? Has serious issues, but loves America, and is honest in his intolerance.
Rush? Often disagree with him, but often feel he is sent from God. Not a blowhard at all, but a P.T. Barnum, and a great entertainer.
G. Gordon? Good message, well delivered, and who cares about Watergate? Move on. It was thirty years ago.
Cal Thomas? Often right, good Fox show, sometimes can't follow his logic - a little too far to the right side of the dial.
