Napolean's syndrome is the impression I get when he goes on rants against others in the media.

Savage is all over the board but on some things non-political he has a great depth of knowledge. He has better political historical viewpoint than most of the RW talk-radio hosts today and his predictions are often spot on. Often though he sounds like a manic-depressive ranting on and on just trying to fill airtime. I often wonder how he gets enough sponsorship to stay on-air.

I wonder that too, cause his show is not 100% political. He has a day of the week where he shares his botanical knowledge and health. But I suppose he is popular because he talks on-air many times like he's having a conversation, not reading off a teleprompter which is more catchy I think, cause Beck bores me an hour after I listen to his radio show.

Shows your ignorance about it, doesn't it.

The only way to fundamentally change America, is to collapse the system. So a new system of Dictatorship can emerge from the rubble.

Talking Once a Weiner...

Weiner-Savage is just another far-right blowtorch with a microphone.

You DID know his real name is Michael Weiner, right...

His dedicated listeners most likely knew that already. Is he a lesser man because his last name is Weiner? If you think so, then that can be construed as an anti-Semitic remark

I sure did but it doesn't change the fact that man speaks the truth.
The truth hurts, you know, it hurts so much that he's got banned from entering the UK.

"Political commentators later remarked on the 'hypocrisy' of Savage's comments on the show,[89] 'It's quite ironic that someone like Michael Savage sees no hypocrisy in strongly defending his [own] 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.'[90]"

I suspect most of Savages' (Wiener) issues with the rest of talk radio stems from the issue that nobody but nobody has spoken up against the government of GB has lumped him in with known terrorists and banned him for life from GB.
