Michael Savage Refers to Hillary Clinton as "Clitler."


I knew radio blowhard Michael Savage was a pig, but this is almost too much.

Since March, Savage has been a member of the Twitterati. I just recently joined up myself, and decided to follow his tweets.

So today I decided to take a look at his past tweets and found this, posted May 20:

Will Secretary of State Clitler intervene on my behalf? I'm not holding my breath.

The background on this is Savage's lawyers sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asking her to intervene in the matter of Savage being banned from Great Britain by British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. Apparently, Clinton has not yet responded.

My best guess on this is the insult is a contraction of "clit" and "Hitler," Savage's favorite comparison for people he doesn't like.

So Savage has resorted to schoolyard insults to describe the Secretary of State, once again proving that he is King among scum of the Earth.

DISGUSTING. what can be done? Organize a grass roots drive to eschew the sponsor's goods?

I was a free speech nut, I guess I still am.

There are people who love this guy.

Maybe it blows off steam.

Sublime. Savage's Twitterstream probably ought to be classified as a Superfund site. Prolonged exposure probably causes genetic abnormalities. Did he follow you back?

No, he didn't. But he has more than 2,600 followers, and he hasn't followed any of them. I doubt he even knows I'm there. Well, until now, of course.

A regular Pied Piper. I imagine 140 characters is an essay for that crowd. Be careful out there.

Of course, he could always say that it's a portmanteau of "Clinton" (not "clitoris") and "Hitler." It's probably just a coincidence that he really, really, really enjoys.

Free speech rights confer no right to Savage to have broadcast microphone. Is is free to go to any city street corner, stand on a soap box, and speak freely to whomever designs to stop and listen. Or, he can blog, like the rest of us mortals :)

Not to mention that the more he opens his mouth the more he validates Great Britain's designating him an undesired alien.

Bio

I’m a journalist working at the New Jersey Shore but based in Central New Jersey, where I live with my wife and our dog and cat. During my career, I've been responsible for two pieces of legislation enacted in New Jersey: one that allowed every fire department and fire academy in New Jersey to receive, free, a thermal imaging camera, and the second, which created a searchable Web database through which consumers could research nursing homes and their owners, and have access to reports of violations and other information. My reporting also led to the requirement that Supreme, Superior and Tax Court justices and judges file the same kind of financial disclosure forms as every other elected and appointed official in New Jersey. I was also part of a two-reporter team that exposed massive increases in the cost to close the U.S. Army's Fort Monmouth. I have also written a book, “Savage Lies: The Half-Truths, Distortions and Outright Lies of a Right-Wing Blowhard,” which deconstructs the first three books written by right-wing talk radio host Michael Savage. The book is available at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and can be ordered wherever books are sold.
