Savage Weiner is nothing if not consistent. On the February 26 edition of his show, he said: "I want to puke when I hear about a woman married to a woman raising children because, frankly, I think that it's child abuse to do that to children without their permission."
Among his previous comments, Savage has called a transgender murder victim a "psychopath" and a "freak," blamed sexual reassignment surgery for the Columbine massacre, and agreed with a caller that gay rabbis would likely "rap[e] teenage boys."

I occasionally listen to these men who spew this hate from time to time. I need to know about the products and services that I will not use. I also will write letters when I hear of a particularly offensive remark.
I find it most disturbing that the top three talk radio programs in the country are three of the most right wing bigotted. I don't like the way that they make their points by belittling the opposition and name calling. And the American public eats it up. That is terrifying to me. Hate is the easiest emotion to stir. And it is the one that moves people to action in the most violent ways.

I listen to conservative talk radio from time to time. While I agree with some things, other things are off base. I have heard both Miachel Savage and bill O'Reilly. Savage can be over the top, I don't have any beef with O'reilly.
