Michael Savage, hypocrite
Just caught a little of the bloviator tonight, but some things he said bear analysis.
When
I tuned in, Savage was blathering about a program on HBO called, "Curb
Your Enthusiasm," starring "Seinfeld" creator Larry David. Apparently,
Savage saw an episode in which religion was mocked.
He went
on for a while about how David is a self-hating Jew, along the lines of
Woody Allen, according to him. i guess if you are part of a religion
and make fun of it, you're self-hating. Whatever.
And for the record, I think Savage has the self-hate market covered. But I digress.
What
caught me about this program is that Savage called for a boycott of HBO
for its airing of the program. Now, parts of his rant were blocked out
by WOR in New York, but you could tell what he said by the context.
This
is interesting, because Savage railed about how his free speech was
being abridged back when the Council on American and Islamic Relations
called for a boycott of Savage's program sponsors.
So the
"Guardian of Free Speech" once again shows that he's all for freedom of
expression, as long as he's the one doing the expressing.
You're a hypocrite, Savage.
Keep the faith.
Savage is a crackpot as well.
How can Larry David be a "self-hating Jew" when the offense in question is a scene where someone is urinating on a picture of Jesus?
My recollection may be a bit hazy, but aren't Christians the ones who worship Jesus? The Jews don't read the New Testament, just the Old.
So, Mr. Savage, you would describe a Jew who urinates on Jesus as "self-hating", even though Jesus is a Christian (not Jewish) icon?
Pardon me while I laugh at your ludicrous, pedantic pomposity.
