Media Matters Responds To Michael Savage Threats, Cyberstalking (VIDEO)

Yesterday, I mentioned that talk radio host Michael Savage had decided to engage in a tidy bit of web-stalking of his critics at Media Matters, threatening to put up the pictures and "pertinent information" of the organization's employees. That seemed to be an odd thing to do! Given the fact that Media Matters has been driving an argument of late, the premise of which was that right-wing media hosts had been trafficking in a sort of speech intended to incite violence and intimidation. It's sort of a bad move for Savage to step up and help prove their point. But that's what he's done, for reasons beyond understanding!

Anyway, the media watchdog has responded with one of their patented mash-up videos, intercutting an appearance Savage made on CNN with statements he's made on his own show. The juxtaposition is pretty striking! On CNN, Savage makes a labored attempt to come across as a perfectly normal guy whose church teachings forbid homosexuality and whose opinions on illegal immigration are in sync with mainstream America. But then, the next minute, on his own show, he's freaking out about "puffy-faced" men kissing. Oh, and he seems awfully threatened about multiculturalism, for some reason, shrieking about burning the Mexican flag.

Anyway, Media Matters doesn't seem too intimidated by this guy and given the fact that he doesn't seem to have any courageous convictions, it's pretty easy to see why.

[martinchill]

Savage wiener=Rockstar drinks!!

Details courtesy of "CriticalDune"

Rockstar Energy Drink was founded by Michael Alan Weiner, the real name of radio blowhard Michael Savage; Rockstar Energy Drink is operated by his son Russell Goldencloud Weiner and his wife. As if the "flavor" wasn't enough reason to not drink it, now we know it is operated by somebody whose middle name is synonymous with water sports! Let the boycott commence.

Goldencloud Weiner.

Just out of curiosity mind you, but what is Michael Savages address?

[research]

Michael Savage's email address is available on Bacon's.com to anyone with an account.

Hate mongers like Savage, Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Beck, et all, use every opportunity to defend their freedom of speech and all their other constitutional rights, while tearing down those of differing opinions. But they are not really free.

Example: Let's say for one week all of their personal security detail and paid errand runners went on strike. Not one of these cowards would poke their heads out of their bunkers, er I mean homes. If they were not fully stocked with necessities and could not send some paid lackey to bring in provisions they would go hungry. They are prisoners of their own vile words and actions and don't represent any common person.

[sheeshbrother]

Sad,crazy little man.

[larry278]

If Savage has an absurd, set of convictions from many sources, is that the same as a felony conviction or is it boyish lacuna? Enquiring minds want to know; the rest of us ignore Savage. It must be a no news day for CNN.

[theubermensch]

This guy is something an about as bright as a peanut. I mean where do the repubs find these guys.

[totalliberal]

They don't. He's just an ordinary Republican.

[Totto]

"I choose to override my desires for men when they swell in me", Weiner wrote. That's why he chooses to live in the Bay Area.

[theubermensch]

Um

[CynAnne]

Heehee, Totto! Oh, the hypocris..err, I mean, humanity of Wiener-Savage's suffering..! ;) ...

[JScott]

So what's Savage gonna do leave the cocoon of his studio and go out in the real world and go after Media Matters. All they would have to do is publish the address of his workplace and his home address-I'm sure they can get that pretty easily, I think he lives in Marin County or Redwood City from what I've read.

Good morning campers! Any questions? Read the following 19 pages and you'll have answers. To questions such as: Does Weiner incite actions and/or feelings? Does making a living by being perpetually pissed off sound desirable to you? Are there people spending a whole lot of time just bad mouthing the other guy and offering nothing? And then doing it again? And again? And again? Do you enjoy listening to this guy? Why? Does he take you to your happy place? Why? Read these pages and get an education, about yourself.

[htowncarrie]

Wow. condescending and self-righteous. You must be a republican. Thanks for stopping by, and don't call us campers, skippy.

[rattler99]

no doubt an airhead lefty activist judge whose ruling will yet again be overturned

[Sepulchre]

Activist Judges, really? Do you actually know the role of the courts in the three branch system we have?

[jjkmack]

The British common law system is the basis of our legal system. Common law is judge-made law, where judges define laws, modify laws and interpret laws (case law), so when right-wingers speak of "activist" judges and courts and judges making law, they are attacking the very basis of the US legal system...now that sounds "patriotic" doesn't it ;>)

BTW, I'm an attorney.

[rattler99]

I guess there's truth, then, in the fact that one out of every two lawyers graduates in the bottom half of his/her class - judges do not have the legal mandate 'modify' laws, as you state, that is the job of the legislative body

[CynAnne]

Just like your "..ruling.." that Air America was no longer on the air - silly, silly rattler: http://airamerica.com/stations ..enjoy that egress..! ;) ...

[jjkmack]

If there's nothing wrong with putting personal information MediaMatters staffers on the internet , then Mr. Wiener would then post the names and addresses of all of his own staff on the internet...how about that bit of honesty??...will not happen of course!..his sole intent is to terrorize others.

[Allablaze]

Savage's behavior is symptomatic of the frustration the right is experiencing. The GOP is leaderless and adrift. They have no constructive policy idea's to counter Obama. The recent incidents of marital infidelity by two GOP stalwarts does not help the party that preaches "family values".

[Sepulchre]

They need adult supervision.

Come on, you homosexual demon!!!
