Michael Savage Is A Conservative Nut and Really Likes Drinking Piss

Michael Savage is a de-facto trigger man for the extreme right wing. He hosts a radio program and appears once in a while on...you guessed it, Fox News. He has carved himself out a nice little niche by simultaneously appealing to the Ann Coulter/Laura Ingraham crowd and moderate liberals and libertarians by coining the term 'compassionate conservative.'

Yes, we can thank him for Bush's campaign slogan. And it has turned out to be quite true, has it not? I mean, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting something compassionate a neo-con has accomplished.

But don't be fooled. Savage is radical anti-gay, anti-Muslim, anti-women's rights and, as are many neo-cons....anti-critical thinking. That can be the only explanation for this:

"'Oh, there’s a billion of them (Muslims).' I said, 'So, kill 100 million of them (radicalist Muslims); then there'd be 900 million of them.' I mean...would you rather us die than them?...Would you rather we disappear or we die? Or would you rather they disappear and they die? Because you’re going to have to make that choice sooner rather than later."

Ahhhhh, the subtlety I've grown to expect. Let's hope Savage doesn't hurt his back while he's drawing that line in the sand. He's not nearly as funny as Coulter or Limbaugh. He's one of the ones that seems a little dangerous.
