Michael Savage Must Be Stopped

Over a decade of endless warfare has left this country with many damaged souls. Now, one of the most vile screechers on talk radio has finally gone too far. Michael Savage, the devil of San Francisco, recently went on a tirade attacking veterans with PTSD as a "bunch of losers." Of all the venom-spewing psychos on the AM dial, Savage has always been the worst. Now, finally, this pantywaist chicken hawk who never wore a uniform or thought of anyone's wellbeing beyond his own narcissistic ass may get what he deserves.

After my own tour of duty I spent several years working in a factory. The local AM station replayed his awful show at midnight during my shift and I would tune in in an effort to stay awake while working. Between an incredible display of hatred for all things not Michael Savage, juvenile insults and name calling from a man who purportedly holds two Ph.Ds, and his yelling/spitting delivery I would get so angry that I was alert and awake beyond anything coffee could do for me. His racism, misogyny, and outright fascism has earned him a special place in hell. If he even has a soul. I always imagined that he would split down the middle during one of his rants about vermin (immigrants), demoncats (guess), filthy scum (anyone receiving public assistance), or other colorful metaphors about Muslims and a stream of cockroaches or maggots would pour out.

Again, for an individual with two Ph.Ds., there is remarkably little insight or intellectual creativity to his hate. I do not recall an original thought or line of reasoning from him, just vitriolic streams of invective for which ever Democrat happened to be in the news that day. Savage is the epitome of what the great conservative intellectual James Burnham described in Suicide of the West. Anti-liberal individuals will use the liberal society's freedom against it to destroy society and liberty. Burnham meant communist agents working for the Soviet bloc but his ideas apply to anyone opposed to liberal values like freedom of speech and for the press. At best, Savage is the equivalent of intellectual empty calories, more realistically his show is an incitement to violence.

With his attacks on veterans with PTSD he has entered dangerous territory. There is no telling how many lone wolf terrorists he has anonymously programmed to go forth and destroy. I for one will not grieve if one realizes he's been had and comes home for revenge.
