Savage: "don't give a rat's ass about the Iraqi people"
Last night I was flipping through the radio and heard Michael Savage ranting about the voting in Iraq and how he could care less about those people. He doesn't give a rat's ass about the people in Iraq.

He went on to say that he can't even get a pothole fixed on his street with government money and yet all of our tax dollars are going to resurface highways in Iraq.

I hate Savage but I wonder how many other Americans feel the same way. He's a right-wing nut but I agree that most American people don't really care at all about the people in the Middle East.

Didn't hear the rest of the rant as I arrived at my destination.

1. It's not that I don't care about them, but....
"We have very real problems in our own country that are not being addressed." That doesn't mean that the Iraqi people aren't important, but they are not more important than the people right here.

8. Who destroyed the Iraqi infrastructure?
It wasn't the Iraqis, it was the United States of America. bush went to war there with "shock and awe" - a bombing blitzkrieg meant to destroy as much of the country as possible in the shortest time. We do have many problems in this country and the insane amounts of money being given to halliburton could be used to provide everyone in this country with health care. However, as a rouge nation it is only right that we compensate the nation we destroyed before looking to our own problems.

2. Anything he says
I disagree with. He's a horrible human being. I don't care what it is. If he said eating babies was a bad thing, I would have to disagree.

3. I'm slipping off your topic, but
I overslept this morning and thus heard a creature named Beck on the radio while driving in. He was "discussing" social security and I had to turn it off because I realized that he was making me want to punch the nearest conservative smack in the snotlocker.
Damn, he's infuriating!
These SOB's are being paid to divide the country, plain and simple.
:grr:

4. The Savage Weiner is a huge waste of skin
but i've heard more then one person express that thought. There is a certain mind set of some that Iraq should be given the "Final solution." It's pretty sick byt that view is out there.

5. It is kind of amazing that people like that are still walking around
We live in a day where right wing assholes can say anything
without fear of recourse. What happened to all those blood lusting
terror cells? The fact that this guy and others like him
go unscathed is absolute proof that those terror cells
do not exist. Never did.
I suppose they will in time, Bush has seen to that.

6. Fuck him. If you back this president starting wars
and shipping all our money overseas whilst giving tax cuts to his rich buddies, you have no right to bitch about your underfunded local government. Can't he make the connection? What a stupid, greedy dickhead.

7. I wonder when

The highly paid truth assassins realize that while claiming they were killing Liberals they were actually killing their our country.

When Weiner bitches about potholes not being fixed maybe that is a beginning of a paradign....Weiner? Nnnnnaaaaaaaaaa! Too stupid and myopic.

9. But most Americans feel the same way. We didn't invade for THEIR sake.
We invaded to protect ourselves. Only since discovering that Saddam wasn't dangerous to us--which was pretty much since the fall of bagdad--has the rationale switched from self-defense to charity.

The American people didn't want 1500 Americans to die and hundreds of billions spent in charity work. That's why Bush EVEN TODAY justifies our work in freeing Iraqis and giving them my money in terms of self defense. That's also why Americans don't care that our charity mission kills Iraqi civilians. We really don't like them at all, having internalized the meme that all arabs are threats and that "they" are terrorists.

Savage is a disgusting tool, and hates everybody. But as far as hating Iraqis, he is in the mainstream.
