Angry Talk-Radio

So why is NPR considered left-wing? I always thought they were very apolitical. They would use sources from conservative and liberal think-tanks, etc.

I dunno, but when Chomsky thinks it's left wing, (or to be more precise, partisan) it's left wing.

My guess is that it does not contain the Rush Limbaugeish content on NPR.
 
Did. There's nothing wrong with it. Perfectly sensible.

My bad, I should have said to read how it was ratified.

I wouldn't want him knocked off the air, but Mike Savage is absolutely batshit insane. He's mean, he yells at people, claims to know anything and everything, refuses to listen to anyone who disagrees with him. He IS racist and prejudiced as much as he says he isn't.
Ya, he's so racist that he defended Kobe Bryant on the air.
 
How it was ratified was answered. The objections are based on trivialities. That doesn't change it's legality.

He also called Arabs "dirty little men with dirty little beards", and Mexicans "dirty little rapists".
 
It really all depends on what he's angry about on a particular day. If he's going off on immigration, then he'll yell about the Mexicans. If he's mad at Hollywood and show business that day, then yes, he might go out of his way to defend Kobe Bryant.

Well, he's right on the Arabs, even the ones here don't bath enough. Pay attention to the amount of violent crime committed by illegal aliens & you might get some outrage of your own.

Savage regularly calls the third world the "turd world." :)
He's right, they are.

Who said anything about illegal aliens? All I said was Mexicans and you immediately say illegal aliens. You're the one who brought that up, are you sure you're not the racist?

Spoiler :
For those of you who don't know, this is a tactic often used by Savage against callers who accuse him of being a racist.

:lol:If you ever actually listened to Savage you would know he speaks well of the Mexicans & how they have family values. He only rails on illegal immigration. You come up with some unsubstantiated quote & I was just attempting to put it in context for you.

Do yourself a favor & actually listen to the show for just one week so that when you speak about it you will not be ill informed.

Most illegal aliens are MEXICAN, how does this make me a racist? Are you going to try & deny that too? :lol::lol::lol:

He also rails on the fact that people speak Spanish in America, and plenty of his name-calling goes along with that.

I listen to the Savage Nation probably twice a week.

Most illegal aliens are Mexicans. Does that mean most Mexicans are illegal aliens? You're still the one who made that association. ;)

1. We as Americans only have 2 things in cowmen with everybody else in the country: first the Constitution, second the English language. He is justified in ridiculing those who come to this country and don't have the decency to learn the language.
2. I think you're full of it, you probably have NPR on and get what they say about him for you info.
3. That last statement is proof of the impending Idiocracy, is your name Cleavon?

Sure, like I said before I agree with some of what he says but he doesn't have to be such a meanie about it. That's mostly why I don't like Savage. He's funny as hell, but he goes out of his way to hurt people's feelings with playground-style insults rather than hard facts and truth.

Fine you don't believe me? Did you listen last night? 9-11 to 9-15. Fats Domino - Blue Monday. He just came off surgery, says he just had to do the show, and asks us to forgive him if he makes a mistake somewhere because he's still coming off it. He says it's the worst economic event of a century, which to him means it's worse than the '29 crash. I think whoever said that actually meant this century, but whatever, he said he might screw up. Says he watched CNBC from 4 O'clock in the morning until he came to do the show, and wants to know who profited from this thing and why the media and the people of America aren't clamoring for an investigation. Take them out and shoot them, as always.

The only NPR I listen to is Car Talk, and that may as well not count.
 
Well if you are going to blame "talk-radio" for violence let's include Hollywood, video games, media, etc. to the list.

Did someone sincerely say that talk radio leads to violence? I've heard plenty of people say that it's ******** for various reasons, including myself, but leading to violence?

Well talk radio might be a different case. A rational person can distinguish the fantasy of TV, movies and video games from reality. However, a talk show host is a real person saying real words not usually meant for entertainment. It's sort of like saying that the words of a rally leader might inspire violence.
