Savage: autistic kid is nothing more than "a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out"
Edited on Wed Jul-23-08 09:34 AM by One Sweet World
That is a direct quote from right-wing radio host Michael Savage.

According to the New York Times:

On the July 16 installment of his program, which is broadcast every weekday, Mr. Savage suggested that "99 percent of the cases" of autism were a result of lax parenting. He told his audience: “They don’t have a father around to tell them, ‘Don’t act like a moron. You’ll get nowhere in life.’ ” Among the other admonitions he felt children with autism should be hearing, he said, were: “ ‘Straighten up. Act like a man. Don’t sit there crying and screaming, idiot.’"


Unreal.

We need to impose a sponsor boycott this maniac. Ideas?
