Savage tells the truth with enough anger and righteous indignation that it changes peoples lives.
Rush:
Sounds like Charlie Browns teacher-thats just my little, ‘humble’ opinion 😀
“Savage tells the truth…” yeah most of the time. In last night’s radio program we heard him railing against Ron Paul for not condemning NDAA. This is patently false. RP releases several statments condemning it. Most of the things he says about Islam are accurate, but, much of what he presents as Islam is only ethnic culture observed by Arabs. I listen to Savage as there is nothing else on at 2am here in Minneapolis. I’m a 41 yo black male who reverted to Islam 8 years ago. I voted Obama last time, not this time! I love his patriotism, and historical lectures. I listen in every night almost to see where my place is in the Savage Nation. Borders, language, and culture. SAVAGE!!!
Well Savage has all but bee removed from the Phoenix airwaves. Since 2005 I’ve been listening almost every night. 2 weeks ago ClearChannel could not come to terms with KFYI and put Beck in that 7pm – 10pm slot instead. Savage moved to KFNX AM1100 from 5pm – 7pm and they are airing fantasy football talk tonight as we speak. Last night it was a game. Who knows if Savage will be on tomorrow. Seems like they air him when they feel like it. Not to mention the entire east valley of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler etc.. gets a poor signal. It’s always been this way. I’m very disappointed with the change.
Savage is awesome. He says what everyone is afraid to say. We know the progressive communist rat vermin scum and the bolshevik media are trying to destroy the USA from within. Savage has the balls to say it. The truth
it is hard to find him around here sometimes. Just listen to him on the net

Savage is the Grand Master of Talk Radio. I want to see Dr. Savage grab the #1 slot! That’s right, you heard me. Do I need to keep repeating myself? We need a man with “sledgehammer” with pure and unfettered though patterns at the top; and not a switch-hitter acting like a “rough-shod gambler” who will ruin conservative politics.
Take it Savage. It’s just a walk in the park. Like taking candy away from the baby.
By the way, his wingmen, Jeffrey Kuhner and Dwight Schultz are absolutely the best in talk radio!
Absolutely, Jeff Kuhner is fearless.
God bless him
[…] Amusing: Not sure about Tammy Bruce, but I know that all these hosts in the top seven, you have to pay in […]
To see how the communists took over our institutions- churches, schools, businesses and government please be sure everyone you know watches the documentary-
AGENDA: Grinding America Down

SAVAGE SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 HUSH BIMBO SUCKS he wouldn’t make a pimple on doctor mike’s ass
Surprising that Neal is so far down.
Everyone hating on Rush, seriously? They’re both great Americans.
I dont hate Rush, he just lacks the passion that is in Savage.
Savage attacks the BOLSHEVIKS which is who NEEDS to be attacked, constantly.
I was living in CA for many years, there was *NO* voice that spoke for me and many other patriots.
In 1996, Savage was on KGO, SF. It was like I was a little girl, just sitting there listening to my father as he told me how the world is evil.
Like I was transported – it was something else.
Of course, my Dad is a NYer and sounds just like Savage and has that righteous indignation–he is Iroquois/Seneca and a S.A.R.
He loves Savage as well.
Savages books are like the Conservative Gospel.
He is tops with me,
God bless him, God keep him, God give Michael Savage the STRENGTH to fight these EVIL beasts.
Amein.
I totally agree. Savage is a whole human being with a broad spectrum of appeal. Listening to him is like learning the most important things about life and living. You don’t have to agree with everything he says to respect him and even love him. He’s no political wonk like Rush. As good as Rush is, he’s too focused on Republicans. I discovered the Republicans were a dead end when we had an R president, an R congress, yet true conservatism got the shaft.
PS. Your gravatar is to die for.
We have Paterno, Earl K. Wood, LDS presidency, long term head football coaches, who are above the fray, and show up on game day to show they are doing their jobs. But they aren’t hands on. They take their salary and hope for the best. Don’t rock the boat. Let’s see who is another coach to be seen but not heard?
Themadjewess is courageous! Dr. Savage RULES the air waves. 🙂
how did i get here??? is this where i can order harry potter?
I really like Savage but I don’t like when he mocks others, like “Hush Bimbo” etc. Rush is not without passion but he is mostly a satirist. And he is having a great time. What’s wrong with that? He loves golf and football, I hate both so when he talks about it I turn him off. But it is his show, he does what he likes to do and makes oodles of money with it, it is an ongoing lesson for the audience, “see, it can be done”. He is also a shrewd analyst of political events. Finally he is also a political junkie, enjoys the horse trading and jockeying in politics. Savage hates politics and so do I but he should not hate Rush just because he is into politics. I would love to hear them talk to each other over the air one day. Savage should call in, after all Rush is the number 1 guy (for now).
I was listening to Savage just about everyday after I got off work at 5:00 pm central time here in the Chicagoland area in Crown Point, Indiana. I would go out of my way to just go “somewhere” just to be able to drive and listen to him at the same time, if I was going to the store I would finally pull up in the parking lot and then I would sit there and listen to him. It is and to me always has been addicting. Now for the bad, his style, although provocative and informative, does get old. He mocks EVERYONE else on the radio. Hardly ever have I heard him say positive things about any of the other well known, and not so well known talking heads out there. He makes up these silly names he likes to call them, like somehow that makes them less important. He glorifies himself he thinks be belittling them. That tees me off big time. Honestly he is good at what he does, but he in no way has the character of Rushbo or Hannity. I know those two are conservatives 100 percent, so am I, but the point is he feels he has to bash them just so in his own mind his points are better received by his listeners, I think thats just the wrong way to conduct business and talk radio is a business. How would people like it if when they went to Kentucky Fried Chicken that everytime they did, the employees would say things like, don`t go to Popeyes Chicken, their food sucks and they are buttholes over there. Come here where the chicken is fresh. Or go to Target and hear the employees bashing Walmart because their prices are inflated, blah blah..but the point is that we wouldn`t sit there and listen to that crap being fed to us about other retailers that we also go to, so why should we listen to a talk radio head that bashes every, and I mean every other talking head out there and makes up a joke name for them. Seriously Michael, are you not more intelligent than that. You do have you own style and I know you are worried about our country and who is in Washington, so am I. But this distracts from the point that there are many out there voicing their concerns over the corruptness in Washington and all the BS that comes with it, that we don`t really need to hear all your negatives everyday making, or attempting to make yourself look like the only one out there that has any common sense. Rush knows his facts and he speaks them. So does Glenn Beck. I have looked up things they have said and have never found them to be fabricating anything. Anyway, in closing, one day I turned the radio on at 5:05 and Michael was no longer there, they had replaced him with Steve Cochran, I never heard of him but he is apparently from Chicago and he does a good job, so far seems to me that he is pretty conservative and wants to make sure Obama is a one termer.
rush is still the best. rush is still the smartest and most down to earth. rush is beating savage by millions of listeners. savage needs to shut up sometimes and listen to other people. also savage is very thin skinned and can’t handle anyone criticising him. i still love when savage tells his stories. maybe one day he can write a book about his life. it does seem so interesting.
I used to love to listen to Savage here in The Dayton Ohio area but they took him off the radio line up and now have other people on. Too bad, I miss the honesty of his show.
Dumbass. Rush already has all of the audience available at any given time. It would be very hard to improve on ALL. Make another grandiose claimm Savage,
Listening to Michael Savage is like indulging in one of those conversations I used to enjoy with my grandfather’s crowd, drinking Stag beer on the front porch of my uncle’s house in old North St. Louis. It brings me back to a time reminiscent of chrome bumpers and girls who could be sexy without being slutty. It’s a world far removed that I’m able to visit once in the while. His talent offers a comforting escape and is loaded with an intellectual eloquence rarely heard anywhere else. When there is no more Michael Savage, there will be a significant hole left in the heart of America’s cultural heritage.
Some of his narratives are interesting & rich with imagery. But he does make a fool of himself on a nightly basis by flying off ‘half cocked’ over this or that, only to head off in a new direction directly.
Does anyone else think that his “thought streams” or ‘poetry’ are juvenile and amateurish? I mean, just these one syllable banalities. I get the impression that he has himself convinced that he is a creative genius and that his every utterance waxes brilliant.
Dont you cringe when a caller gets on and proceeds to suck up to the host in the most groveling way, like so many do with all the talk show hosts?
Just sayin…..
On Savage’s FB page fans from different markets are frequently complaining recently that he has been dropped from their terrestrial station. Isn’t this a big factor in explaining his increasing live streaming ratings?
You go Mr.Savage! Tell it like it is!!
would like to have him back in the Nashville, tenn area. we lost him
also. we have Mark Levin now. He is okey but we had just listened to
Savage for so long. Getting use to mark for now tho, he is pretty
good and good listening. thanks, sherman brown
Wasn’t Savage gaining in Internet listeners because he was losing stations on terrestrial radio? I’ve noticed posts on his Facebook page over the last year of markets that have cancelled Savage – causing his more loyal listeners to seek him out on streaming Internet format.
