Help with documented lies of Michael Savage

[RatRacer]

I'm in a discussion with a raving neocon on another board and was wondering if anyone had a link to a site with some documented lies and distortions put forth by Michael Savage on his show or in his books. I've done a little Googling on it and I'm just not finding what I'm looking for. I know he says outrageously hateful stuff all the time, but I'm looking more for stuff he's said where he took things way out of context or completely fabricated "facts" to support his rants. Any help would be appreciated.

1. For the sake of your blood pressure, just step away from those crazies

The guy is a nutcase who used to sell vitamins. He's a completely rabid loser. Anyone who subscribes to that guy's hate-filled philosophy of life is not about to be swayed by cogent arguments.

You can't teach a pig to tap dance. You can try, the pig is amused, but you'll never succeed.

2. I appreciate what you're saying

...but I don't really do it to convince the person I'm talking to. I know he's a half-wit, brainwashed nutjob. I do it for the lurkers who may be on the fence or new to some of his bile. I just don't like letting crap like this go unanswered and therefore assumed to be correct by those who don't yet know better.

3. I have listened to his show a couple of times......

...don't bother even trying. I am sure there are tons of examples you can find but why get all worked up over a crazy persons ramblings.

8. everything he says is a lie.

but i suggest you do a search on who and what he was before he became "savage" and ask the nutball you are replying to about savage`s former life

10. Yep... the epitome (or stereotype) of a liberal hippie.

At first glance, Michael Alan Weiner seems like an improbable candidate to be America's angriest, most vicious conservative radio host. Born 60 years ago in the Bronx, Weiner has lived in Northern California for most of his adult life, making a living as an herbalist and nutritionist. He communed with Fijian traditional healers, got married in a rain forest and studied ethno-medicine at the University of California at Berkeley. He swam naked with Allen Ginsberg, dreamed of being the next Lenny Bruce and wrote a rambling novel about a half-mad alter ego. His son's middle name is Goldencloud. For years, he made a name cranking out a pile of books on alternative medicine, recommending bizarre remedies such as using vitamin C to stop AIDS and kicking cocaine with coffee enemas.

11. Listening to a bit of Savage on the radio the other night....

on my way from work, because my antennae is broken and that is the only local station I can pick up, he said people have to support George W Bush no matter if he is wrong on all the big spending, the Iraq War, the immigration issue, whatever, because to support "liberals" is to support femininity and homosexuality and that is destroying our country and making us appear "weak" like the Vito character in The Sopranos, that was caught in the gay bar...
