Is Micheal Savage the Howard stern of conservatism?

Answer 1

Well he's definatly a shock jock at times, but mighty entertaining. He tends to pound some issues into the ground and that can get old. Rush and Bortz are far more enjoyable to listen to, in my humble opinion

Answer 2

First of all, it's M-i-c-h-A-E-l (do some spell-checking next time). Secondly, you're comparing political talk radio (Savage) to mindless crotch-talk radio (Stern). The "Balloon-Man" (Savage's title for Stern: if Stern didn't have his talk show, he could only get a job as a clown that makes perverted balloon figurines) is a talentless buffoon; to put him even 3 levels BELOW Savage would be an insult. What's Stern's educational background? Did he even graduate from high school?

Michael Savage on the other hand, has a Bachelor's degree in Education and Sociology, two Masters degrees in Ethnobotany and Anthropology, as well as a Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Nutrition Sciences.

Stern show isn't political. He may have some political comments, but his political and practical knowledge, as with ALL liberals, extends only as far as DNC talking-points and his own personal desires to do as he pleases, regardless of what harm they might cause. For instance, he sees NOTHING wrong with inviting a bunch of retarded people onto his (freak) show just to start making fun of them. I've got nothing against sex-talk and sexual humor, just so long as the forum is appropriate and it's done in good taste (if at all possible); after all, the "American Pie" movies are favorites of mine. But what the "Balloon Man" does on his show is gratuitous at best.

Savage is SO far BEYOND Stern, it's not even funny.

Let me answer this from the liberal-leftist perspective. Bush represents the most Draconian aspects of neo-conservatism, so his replacement will have history to contend with. We may not form a solid voter's block, but we share certain perspectives.

To begin with, Bush is going head-to-head with warlords in the Middle East. At least, on the left, we recognize the danger of both Israel and Iran possessing nuclear weapons. There is something hypocritical in excusing Iran and blasting comments at Israel. Nevertheless, it ups the ante. The U.S. is largely at fault for this.


I believe Israel has a right to exist and defend itself, but I don't believe the military occupation of Palestine was ever justified.
There is no excuse for the threat of suicide bombings, national security and terrorism. That is why they are building the wall, putting up barriers and blockades for Palestinians and hiring foreign workers instead of Palestinians. However, the refusal to provide aid to Palestine and work with them through diplomatic channels is damaging and cruel, it won't help the situation.

This time around, though, whatever is going on there is the fault of the people and their government. Israel has nothing to do with it.

It is another mess to contend with for the new leader. He must punish Iran without punishing the people. In order to deal with Iraq and Iran, he must deal with the Palestinian-Israeli issue. He must be weary of aligning the west with Israel and the Arab nations with Palestine. He must be smart and serious. So some funny clown without leadership skills, brains, an international reputation and diplomacy won't mesh.

There are a lot of left-wing governments in South America and Western Europe. How does another religious right government plan on gaining their support? Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama are great as senators, not as leaders of the Democratic Party. You need someone with more vision and balls than those two.

Answer 4

If you are a liberal, it is far more important to listen to Savage and to Rush Limbaugh and the Fox people. If you do not understand what poison the Conservatives are spewing how can you understand their POV and counter inteligently.

I'm fiscally conservative but socially liberal. I listen to Howard Stern for fun, but i get all my news and political information from the Conservatives because when I do, I can see the flaws in their arguments and that keeps me sharp and I do my own research later.

Answer 5

No comparison. Howard Stern does not have a political program. He is more concerned with Pam Anderson's crotch than thinking about what is good for this country.

Answer 6

I don't think anybody's a Howard Stern of anything. LOL

Michael Savage almost turned me into a Republican.

Answer 7

Nobody has the brodcating prowess of Howard Stern. He is the man.

Answer 8

No
Just a speaker of truth
Protector of the borders, language, and culture
eye opener to the blind liberals with mental disorders

Answer 9

What "savagely_honest1" said.

Answer 10

Never heard of him. Howie rocks!
