A little bit on Bush from Savage. He's calling Bush supporters "bushbots" too. Thought that those of you here that hate Bush might like what he has to say here. Full text is at link below:

Al Franken and the other liberals are probably still wondering why they had such little luck in their efforts to start a talk-radio network to bash George Bush from the left. They didn't consider the obvious explanation. George Bush has his left flank nicely covered. It's on the right that he's weak.

That is the theory of Michael Savage. Savage is the most right-wing of the right-wing talkers on the national airwaves at the moment. He is based in San Francisco, but he can be heard in the New York area on WOR in the evenings. He is a welcome change from those Karl Rove clones Hush Bimbo and Sean Vanity.

"Hush Bimbo" and "Sean Vanity" are the names Savage has pinned on Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity of WABC. In doing so, he has sparked a war between the members of his "Savage Nation" (slogan: "Borders, language, culture") and the so-called "Bushbots," that sizable number of gullible Americans who can be convinced that whatever policy Bush adopts is a conservative policy.


"What makes Bush a conservative?" Savage asked when I got him on the phone the other day. "On the economy, Bush has got more governmental workers than anybody before him. He's ballooned the government."

As regards the so-called "war on terror," Savage points out that you can't win a war when you're afraid even to name the enemy.

..................

The Bushbots don't think so. On their Web sites, they call Savage a bigot and a racist, two terms the employment of which generally indicate that the speaker is losing an argument. Savage is a hero on those Web sites that attack Bush's open-borders approach to immigration. "Rush Limbaugh is a direct link to his president, El Traitor, Senor Bush," wrote one blogger. "The invasion by illegals has been going on now for a long time."

Savage hears a lot from people who say that any criticism of Bush is a mark of disloyalty to conservatism.

"I can't stand listening to people who want me to be a lapdog for Bush," he told me. "We're supposed to be watchdogs, not lapdogs."

As for the rest of the radio talkers, "They may as well work for the Republican Party. There's nothing interesting if you can predict what a man's going to say by just going to the GOP Web site."

He's certainly got that right. Listening to an endless rehash of Karl Rove's talking points, leavened by a few Teddy Kennedy-is-a-drunk jokes, is not very entertaining.

Is this the same Michael Savage that admits in his books that he visits gay S&M shops in San Francisco in order to witness first-hand the destructiveness of liberalism on society, or some other nonsense?

Its quite clear that weirdo has some serious problems, and like most arch-conservatives obsessed with gays, he probably has repressed homosexual tendencies. What a kook.

I haven't seen that in his books.

Of course the ninnies that don't LIKE him, will create all KINDS of stories about him.

Like "I heard he got busted smoking crack the other day."

Whose a KOOK ?



I'd say "nice try." but ..........

............ crap, I can't even say THAT

Funny thing. I think that there's very few people who actually have "neo- con" sympathies when you come right down to it. What many have is a bottomless bag of excuses to throw around to explain what they do not stand for. And basically, that's it. Exceptions to this seems(to me) to be very rare...

Couldn't have said it better myself
