Look at late night TV, SNL, numerous comics like Amy Shumer, etc. There is a mean side to all of them on a scale at least as caustic as Savage does. I would not be happy if any of them got attacked in the way Savage did.
Actually, you got it all backwards. Liberals do comedy (too many examples to list) while conservatives are hate filled and notoriously unfunny people. I remember many years ago when FOX tried to do a comedy show, in the same vein as the Daily Show/Colbert Report. It was a miserable failure that folded in a month or two. The people who watch that network are too stupid to know the difference between satire and seriousness, and the people who espouse conservatism (like Weiner or Limbaugh) have never been funny, and never will be.

Humor and hate repel one another.

As far as this "vicious attack" on Weiner, it really shows what a bunch of snowflakes you conservatives are. Go find a safe space.

just as I thought, every one of these violence promoting liberals happy and celebrating a sucker punch on a 74 year man that they don't like that he has 1st amendment rights. If a KKK member beat up Obama, they would by crying and claiming it's the worse crime of the century...they're all big fat lying hypocrites.

I'd call getting punched in the head a vicious attack. I also found nothing funny in the thugs that rioted in Berkeley.

And I can guarantee you conservatives won't run to a safe space after a few more of these attacks. We fight back.

Savage is refusing to discuss the specific instance while claiming open season on major Trump supporters.

Still does not compute. Apparently more to the story than a simple attack on a public figure.

Limbaugh only sold his condo in 2010, he lived there for quite a while. And that's the thing, it's the taxes that drove him away, not the culture. He talked crap about liberal values but he apparently has no problem living in it, and would continue to do so if the price is more affordable.

Savage, I take it back if he moved from NYC. Another poster points out that he actually owns homes in the SF Bay and very likely lives there. He is another right-winger who talks smack about liberal culture that he happily lives in.

These extreme Right personalities, if they really find the liberal culture that offensive and intolerable and loves Middle America that much, you'd think they'd live in somewhere like Nashville or Indianapolis. But they often live in very blue cities.

Michael Savage lives in Marin County I believe.

Anyhow, its unfortunate that this happened and the perpetrator(s) should be charged.

This often happens when you have differing accounts. The police will charge both, or neither.

Sounds like one of those antisemitic white supremacists who was probably paid by George Soros.

"Savage said the man asked, “Are you Michael Weeener?” referring to Savage’s given name (Michael Weiner)."

Wow-that sickening post you made really shows the true depravity of liberalism. Liberals "do" comedy? No, they ARE comedy, like pathetic, sour faced clowns with zero humor.
