Isn't it ironic that right wing commentators regularly cite examples of liberal bias and censorship, yet they themselves seem to have few qualms about silencing their critics?

Whats even funnier is that Savage is one of those guys always railing against lawyers and frivilous lawsuits.

This guy is such a joke. I honestly do not understand why anyone would listen to this dipshit outside of his xenophobic rantings appealing to thier personal bias' and prejudices.

Mike Stinson comments on this in the interview:

Quote:

Newsflash for MSNBC: There already IS a FOX TV station. Hiring these right wing parrots ain't going to win you a Peabody. I think that these guys are clocking in at 200K viewers, per episode -- that's about as many people as are trimming their toenails in the USA at any given time.

Savage was recently removed from the original station in San Francisco, where his show was derisively labelled "sieg heil on the dial." The irony abounds; on his website, he lists the following suggestions for improving the U.S.

Quote:

1. Make tax cuts permanent.
2. Close the borders now.
3. Deport all illegal immigrants now.
4. Eliminate bilingual education in all states.
5. Require health tests for all recent foreign born immigrants.
6. Eliminate as many entitlement programs as possible.
7. Reduce the number of Federal Employees.
8. Oil Drilling on U.S. Soil.
9. Tort Reform "STOP LAWYERS"

As has been previously mentioned, point 9 is particularly odd, given his recent legal action.
For those (blissfully) unfamiliar with Mr. Savage, the conservative Newsmax site has this to say about him: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/arti...6/225821.shtml
