Savage: Clinton's Steering Committee Member "A Gay, Phony General"

Media Matters:

On the December 3 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage called retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr (CSMR) a "gay, phony general." Kerr, who is a member of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) Military Advisory Council, a member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Americans for Hillary Clinton steering committee, and a co-chairman of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) Veterans and Military Retirees for Hillary Committee, had a video question about the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy selected for airing during the November 28 CNN/YouTube Republican presidential debate and was in the audience for an opportunity to ask a follow-up question.

According to his biography on the SLDN website, Kerr "retired from the U. S. Army Reserve in 1986 with the rank of Colonel and was commissioned in the California State Military Reserve (California National Guard) on 15 March 1986, where his assignments were Inspector General and later, Chief of Staff. He was appointed Commanding General, Northern Area Command, CSMR, with headquarters at Alameda Naval Supply Depot, Alameda, CA and promoted to Brigadier General on 21 February 1991. He held this position until reassigned to State Headquarters on 31 July 1995. General Kerr retired on 1 June 1996 after 43 years of service to the United States and the State of California."

Everything has been said before. He makes Bill O and Hanity, Colture look like Teddy Kennedy. In short, the dude is f'ing crazy and it depress's me that people actually listen to him and admire the jackass!

Mike Savage is such a god-forsaken loud idiotic windbag, and appreciating the fact he has an audience, one does not have to wonder how the Nazi SS and KKK achieved such success.

Do they have a school somewhere that teaches "stupid" to these guys? What about the audience? The media has given these guys a free ride, failing to look into who they really are. He's a doctor? Of what? The only thing that changed Mike Wiener into Mike Savage is money, not ideals or enlightenment.

[BrokenMirror]

How ironic that a man who changed his surname from "Weiner" to "Savage" would take it upon himself to deem anyone a phony.

[samuraijack]

Hey Savage, this general could kick your ass. So shut your fucking mouth. Jack Out.

[lungfish]

Savage, Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity... whatever. Who cares about extremists? These guys, including Coulter, represent the lunatic fringe out somewhere beyond right wing conservativism. They spout nonsense, act like morons and prove their shortcomings at every turn.
Couldn't care less.
As for the General, hats off to a man that served our country in uniform which is more than most of these bozos did.

[MajorKong]

And Savage knows this because of his extensive military experience I suppose?

[Ginzaman]

Isn't it embarassing to anybody in San Francisco that this asshole's on the air?

[Ramirez]

Brig. Gen. Kerr is a patriot and has served our nation with honor.

Michael Savage is just an asshole.

[ThomasDoubting]

Who the hell is Michael Savage ?

Michael Wiener "Savage" was once a liberal, "back in the day" I have read. Do not remember what changed him, possibly drugs? He, like so many of his generation, got out of service and have never been in any branch of the military. Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr has served his country honorably for 43 years. He did trade in his honor and trust, like some officer who will not be named, to get more rand and more"honors". To have a looser like Michael Weiner "Savage" treat him with just disrespect is galling.

Savage makes olielly and limpaw look rational. Have you ever heard savage? He rants, raves, screams and otherwise sounds like someone who is in dire need of medication, hence the name I suppose....

I cannot fathom who listens to the guy. All I know is: the remaining population of this country that continues to have Savage or bush bumper stickers can only be described as the closest this country has ever come to clearly labeling IDIOTS. For that, I am grateful.

Michael Savage is a FUCKING ASSHOLE,he ALMOST makes Sean Hannity look like a reasonable person(hell,Rush Limbaugh for that matter).
Along with his"arrogant ignorance"he does spew HATE!
I've listened to him several times(for fun),but realized that PEOPLE ACTUALLY TAKE THIS PERSON SERIOUSLY...NOT GOOD!

[sparkey]

Never trust anybody who hides behind sunglasses.

[mediamarv]

Savage is a poser.
Lives in one of the most liberal (and richest) counties in CA, Marin.
Tries hard not to be recognized, or called out for his hypocrisy. Next time I see him on the street in San Rafael, I'll ask him why he never served in the military.

Oxygen waster of the highest order.
