Michael Savage Tees Off On Limbaugh

All is not well in the world of talk radio today, as an internecine spat is being brewed up by right-wing host Michael Savage, who today spent a portion of his airtime criticizing fellow conservative talker Rush Limbaugh. Oh noes! What has come between the two men? England, it seems! Well, according to Media Matters, here's what Savage said:

SAVAGE: And yet here in America, I've had some people come to my aid. They see the bigger picture. They're not like [Bill] O'Reilly; they're not like Limbaugh, who's the biggest disappointment of all. Limbaugh has turned out to be the biggest phony of all of them, all of them. Amongst all of them, he is the biggest fraud. Rush Limbaugh is a fraud. When he was accused of the drug usage, I supported him. But that man is a one-way street. It's all about him. He's in it for nobody but himself.

[LISTEN]

I guess that Limbaugh wronged Savage by not coming to his aid when Great Britain's Home Secretary Jacqui Smith barred Savage from entering the United Kingdom, along with white supremacist Stephen "Don" Black and anti-gay gadabout Fred Phelps. In Limbaugh's defense, I find it hard to believe that Savage actually wanted to go to England. I mean, wouldn't all the socialized heath care anger him? Wouldn't he be revolted at the thought of "bangers and mash," which Savage would inevitably misconstrue? Anyway, I'm guessing it was news to Limbaugh that Savage actually wanted to piss off to dear old Blighty, but there you have it.

In another month or so, these two will be fighting over what remains of the ad revenue generated by the auto industry. So, look forward to that!

Let's all put on plastic rain ponchos and watch the 21st-century Gallagher show as they bash each other's heads like melons.

Savage isn't a conservati­ve....Hate to break it to you guys...

[Buddy McCue]

Then what is he? Here's some quotes from his book "The Savage Nation: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Borders, Language, and Culture."

When ultraliberalism takes over the mind of a city, streets are no longer safe, people are defenseless, and wackos with weapons get free handouts. (P. 14)

Back when America was still moral and whole, our meatballs were big, soft, and tasty. Today, thanks mainly to the Demoncats, the libs, and the Commu-Nazis who rule the courts, America's meatballs are small, hard, and tasteless. In other words, we have replicated the Swedish meatball, which is what socialism brings. (P. 17)

Liberalism is unraveling the very fabric of this great nation. And the sooner you understand that liberalism is a dangerous mental disorder, the sooner you can break free from this insanity that attacks the way you live, how you conduct your business, the way you worship, the choice of SUV you drive, the food you eat, and the very freedoms you enjoy. (P. 19)

Every time I read the paper, I have to decode. I'm sickened by watching the politicians, the femi-fascists, the Commu-Nazis, and the RDDBs rip apart the land I inherited. (P. 27)

[Chem is she]

Oh my! Is there a word for what he is? Or is this one of those unspeakable darkness things?

[Buddy McCue]

I did reply with a long list of quotes from one of his books, (The Savage Nation: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Borders, Language, and Culture) but it didn't go through.

There were a lot of them, all about how much he hates liberals and liberalism.

If he ISN'T a conservative, then what is he?

[Buddy McCue]

Oh there it is. Excuse me for being impatient.

Duh

Yesterday Weiner says anyone who does not drop everything and rush (ho ho) to his defense for being placed on some damn dumb list is the same as those who remained silent about the Holocost.

He also said, "Eine Reich, Eine Volk, Eine Obama. One smiles the other frowned, one speaks softly, the other yelled."..­etc, (Last week Obama was Stalin or Mao or both).


Also loves to make fun of certain newspeople (specially of a certain persuasion) who changed their names).

[incognito-ergo-sum]

He is also a "birther". When Obama went to see his grandmother for the last time in Hawaii, Savage said all his bells and whistles were on alert. Seems Obama went there to make sure his 'fake' birth certificate was secure.

Course he never went anywhere near the courthouse, and he probably could just have phoned a co-conspirator for birth certificate status lol X3

Savage is nutty as squirrel poop.

[Aaryck]

So it remains true that they eat their own. Where are the days of the gladiators and the Coliseum when we need it?

[Provit2me]

Pot meet kettle

[iyamchazz]

You know things are bad when you start savaging your own.

[ICanHasDemocracy]

oh man, pass the popcorn, extra buttah please!

[RightWingClipper]

... i got myself a large Coke, and Savage brought the Salt....

[Moshe]

Michael Savage: When he's right he's right.

And he could not be more correct about Rush.

[BlackWidowPilot]

Yes, a broken clock is indeed right twice a day... even a broken *meshugga* clock like Savage Weiner...

"When he's right he's right" could be said about anyone, anyone at all.

After all, A does equal A.

[LDnearthesea]

So two un-American radio talk show BSers diss each other. Get them in a ring to settle things mano-a-mano. Hopefully they'll pull each other's voice boxes out of the other's throat.

[melgris]

Leave it to Republicans to eat their own.

[mitsie]

Good Grief, its always interesting to see what today will bring. LOL

[CeeLee]

Republicans "eat their young" no matter how nasty, bloated, drug addicted and hateful they are to the world they are an even worse "taste in the mouth" to each other.

[KennyFox]

Awwww....a­re the girls fighting?

[AlexNYC]

Cat fight! I'm choking on the the cat hair and furballs.

[Clearing-Brush]

Now that England has barred this bedwetter/­person-non­-grata, maybe they'll add Rush to the list. Maybe other countries will follow suit.
