Earlier tonight I listened to a few minutes of the Michael Savage Show (there’s not much choice if you want talk radio in this market).
As you might expect, he was railing against those who are complaining against an HHS rule requiring hospitals to ask patients their immigration status. Then he made a abrupt segue in his rant to foreign parents who come to this country to have conjoined twins separated:
“What is this with all these foreign conjoined twins coming into American hospitals to be separated at $2 million a procedure? We’ve got them coming from the Philippines, from Egypt, from Syria. Next thing you know we’ll have some coming from Iran . . . then we’ll have two terrorists growing up instead of one. In 30 years we’ll have two suicide bombers in our face.”
There’s nothing like right-wing radio. Listening is like watching a car wreck in slow motion.
You listen to Michael Savage? If he were the only choice in talk radio, I’d choose silence. He gives talk radio a bad name. When all you preach is hate, why would anyone listen. It’s a shame he has an audience.
If you bash “liberals” enough, you’ll have an audience and stations willing to broadcast you.
Conservative talk radio is entertaining..until you realize that people take some of the hosts seriously at which point it gets a bit scary. But I try not to think about that!
