I've listened to them both...and although both are on the right...they attract different listeners...

Rush is more like a large SUV....

What do you think?

Michael Savage represents my way of thinking more than anyone else on the air, probably a good 90%. Can't say I'm wild about his rantings at times. Loved his book.

I also like Lars Larson.

I personally think Savage could do way better radio if he broke free from the Lib vs Con template...

Sometimes he almost sounds weary of following the 'bash Obama just for the sake of bashing Obama' template...

It's almost like he does it just to keep a certain sector of his audience stimulated...

I really wish he would explore bringing out more of his Dr Phd side on the radio...

You know you may not like the content your incorrect about them not being intelligent.

Savage holds several phd's has written multiple books though I believe he publishes them under his real name. He used to travel finding plants for medicinal value for the pharmaceutical industry. The guy is a smart guy whether youenjoy his show or his politics.

To say otherwise is not intelligent.

I can assure you that not everyone with a PhD is all that intelligent, especially concerning matters other than the PhD specialization. He may be "smart", but neither of them is brilliant.

Michael savage is actually very astute/smart. Even frequently prophetic. Ive come to the realization that Rush Limbaugh isnt very sharp at all. He can be easily dismantled if the right caller calls in. Michael Savage's only weakness is his cantankerous disposition.

I think Michael Savage is much closer to being the people's voice (even the voice of those who dont always agree with him, like me) than Rush Dumbo. Rush is just a good ole boy with a microphone who has managed to bolster his self image to the point that people actually believe he's as perspicacious as he says he is. Michael Savage is ever the augur, and he has a keen grasp of history and its application to the events of today.

There are off/on switches and channel change knobs on most radios...you can use them.

Obviously not everyone with a PHD is smart, look at Obama and many of our other politicians.

Michael Savage whether you agree with his politics or not is very knowledgable about nutrition, vitamins, the human body, botany, health, pharmaceuticals.

He's also pretty well rounded. If you listen to his show he knows about all different cultures, politics, geogrphy, music, history, etc.

Sounds to me like your definition of intelligence is if they agree with your views.

Thanks for the ad hominem insult. Judging by your post, I am honoured.

President Obama does not have a Ph.D.

I think you are confusing a law degree (J.D., or jurisdoctor) with Ph.D.
