Limbaugh is a drug-addicted jerk, Hannity is a putz, Beck is self-centered pussy. But Savage. Savage takes the cake. He is the complete douchebag. I can't stand his voice. All he does is rant. And his rants are psychotic. How he is highly ranked on the radio is beyond me, honestly. I can't listen to him for more than 45 seconds before I'm physically nauseous.
It's probably because he is an exact carbon copy of my first boss. He was the cheapest guy on earth. He would yell and swear incessantly. He would eat voraciously with his mouth open, making awful sounds. And then there was that voice. That awful nasally Bronx-accent voice. It's like fingers on a chalk board.
Anyway, Savage apparently went too far by beating up on autistic kids. His denials are ridiculous. He says he is a defender of the defenseless. Riiight. And his criticism of Media Matters, which simply posts his audio as-is, is baseless.
What amazes me is that this is what nailed him. His other slurs and rants have been so over the top that I find this one just the usual pedestrian right wing loony rant. It's the usual "I don't know anyone who suffers from x, and since I have no empathy for anyone I'm going to beat up on them for a while."
I say let him go. Let him rant on and on. Let him beat up on kids who are very legitimately ill. Make him the true voice of conservatism. Put him up on the McCain website. Make him press secretary. If he speaks for you, then embrace him. Autism sufferers and everyone else be damned!
On another topic, sometimes FUG just nails it.
