Just venting here:
Michael Savage was one of the few rational voices on talk radio in the United States. His defense of capitalism in America was measured by his success through honest and hard work throughout his life. Throughout his career as the voice of American conservativism, he warned us of the dangers of big government and of the moral decay of this country. Warning us of the moral decay of our country, teaching us the values of honest and hard work. And I emphasize was.
All of this came from a snake oil salesman who continues to sell his nonsense on his website. Homeopathy, autism denial and (although I can't confirm this) a believer in the anti-vaccine movement shared by people like Bill Maher and Jenny McCarthy.
Some people believe that this man is trying to protect capitalism and the free market. On the contrary, he is stabbing it in the back with his quackery. If more people were aware of this ethical flaw in Michael Savage's character, people would stop listening to this imposter. A problem exists with this however. Thanks to this man, whenever people hear someone, an actual honest and hard working person, trying to defend said political concept they would think, "Oh, that's the same thing that Michael Savage said. I'm pretty sure that this new guy is also a quack as well." (Of course, we can always inform people about the logical fallacy of guilt by association but that's a different story.)
And that is my gripe with Michael Savage.
