Savage talk radio

"Gay political tactics come down to simple intimidation on every level possible, whether it's Act-Up throwing stink bombs at prayer breakfasts or Americans losing their jobs because they happen to object to the lifestyle," says Michael Savage, one of the most popular radio talk show hosts in -- believe it or not -- San Francisco.

This week, the popular KSFO media personality has gone national, having been launched on Talk Radio Network, the nation's third largest syndicator of talk radio. Network executives figure that if Savage, with his aggressive criticism of all things leftist, can come out on top in one of the nation's most liberal metropolitan markets, he can't lose anywhere else.

"It's a scary thing to watch people being intimidated out of their American birthright -- the right to say what they really think about issues that affect them and their family," said Savage, who appears to be fearless on all topics, even the ones that logically would make him an outcast in San Francisco. Indeed, the long time Bay Area resident characterizes marchers in gay pride parades as the "brown shirts of the modern era."

"In Hollywood, they don't call the gay network the 'Velvet Mafia' for nothing," he added.

Earlier this week, Savage described in graphic detail the big money that is being made selling fetal tissue, while in the background playing the click-clack sounds of train wheels taking the "modern holocaust victims" to their Dr. Mengele fate.

"Fetal kidneys anyone? Or how about a spine in excellent condition."

Noting that an information sheet provided by a major corporate trafficker in fetal parts offered damaged spines at a discounted price, Savage said, "I guess that's for mad scientists on a tight budget."

Savage's background is unusual for a political talk show host. Whereas most popular talk hosts these days, from Rush Limbaugh to Art Bell, got their start as disc jockeys, Savage holds several advanced degrees in medical anthropology and epidemiology, and can discuss the flu epidemic with intelligence or present a cogent analysis of America's environmental problems.

"Talk radio continues to prove itself as a bona fide member of the new media," commented TRN's Executive Vice President Bob Just, "because, despite its longevity on the American scene, it consistently dares to say things the mainstream media fearfully or ignorantly avoid. Michael Savage continues that tradition in his own unique, hard-hitting style."

"I guess Americans still like someone who says what he thinks -- politically correct or not," added Savage. "I just hit a little harder -- okay, maybe a lot harder."

Talk Radio Network is a 24/7 network that also syndicates Congressman Bob Dornan, Ken Minyard, Barry Farber, Lucianne Goldberg, Roger Fredinburg, Roy Masters, Ron Engelman, Lowell Ponte, Bob Just, and Jeff Rense. With over 300 affiliates nationwide, TRN can also be accessed live on the Internet, on Talk Radio Network, which can also be accessed directly from WorldNetDaily (see "Talk Radio Network" banner on left side of page one).

Savage can be heard live from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm Pacific, Monday through Friday. The toll-free live call-in number is 1-877-U-SAVAGE.
