One statement, taken out of context? Hardly! Like Don Imus and others of his ilk, Savage is a serial if cowardly transgressor, who regularly uses hate speech to attack homosexuals, minorities, women, and foreigners in the most vitriolic manner imaginable. He once told a gay caller to his (thankfully canceled) MSNBC cable program he hoped they “Get AIDS and die, you pig!” He said CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Larry King “together look like the type that would have pushed Jewish children into the oven to stay alive one more day to entertain the Nazis.” He equates immigrants with “the junkie, the freak, the pervert.” He’s so extreme that Bill O’Reilly calls him a “smear merchant,” Neal Boortz refers to him as “the Antichrist” and Talkers Magazine publisher Michael Harrison, who recently bestowed an annual Freedom of Speech award upon Savage, says he thinks the man is “an a**hole.”
Nevertheless his program appears on 350 stations across America. Wait—this just in: make that 343—seven Mississippi stations have just decided to stop carrying The Savage Nation. Now what about the rest of them?
