Michael Savage blames liberals for UK riots (I just tuned in for the heck of it)

[alp227]

I just finished watching the PBS NewsHour during the 3PM hour in California on KQED. Since The Savage Nation is broadcast during the 6-9 ET/3-6 PT daypart I decided to tune in for the heck of it. KNEW 910 locally dropped his show 2 years ago (even though Michael Savage does his show from San Francisco), and since I can't pick up the Sacramento-area KSTE 650 to listen over the air, I tuned into WYXC in Northern Georgia via the TuneIn mobile app. He began the second hour of his show blaming liberals for the UK riots and castigated some rioters quoted on BBC News as blaming rich people for their anger.

When I first heard of the riots in Britain I thought to myself that the right wing would diss the rioters as lazy, non-working bums. And Savage just did: he said that because of the UK Labour Party the rioters had parents who never worked a single day in their lives. Then he shifted to US politics and then blasted Obama for wanting to raise taxes on small business owners (hello! was he sleeping when Obama renewed the Bush tax cuts and the many times Obama has supported a limited payroll tax?) and California governor Jerry Brown for supporting a vote on taxes because: according to Savage, the Democratic Party base is illegal aliens and union members (oh geez here we go again with his pathological emotional obsession with illegal immigration and creating the illusion that they are treated better than citizens: citizenship is a requirement for voting or public assistance!)

At least I listened to all 3 hours of Thom Hartmann in the morning. And this is all I can summarize of wingnut hate radio, as Savage doesn't maintain full audio archives. Maybe someone will post this on YouTube, or Talk Radio Network may post a clipped version of this later.
