Michael Savage just pulled a Ann Coulter type blunder--- but a 1000 times worst.

[trumad]

Scumbag!

via Atrios:

SAVAGE: It's becoming increasingly clear to me that God wants radical Islam on this planet at this time -- that it's not actually the scourge you think it is. What it is -- it's a counterpoint to the Romanization of the United States of America and the West. The collapse -- the spiritual collapse of the West, the death of the West in that regard, is being countered by the birth of fanatic religion, which is fundamentally a fanatic love of God, when you think about it.

<...>

SAVAGE: And God, who is the center of this monotheistic religion, has said, "Oh, you don't worship me anymore? Oh, you don't like me anymore? Oh, I don't exist anymore? Really? All right, I'm going to show you boys in Hollywood and you girls in New York City that I do exist. But since you're very hard-headed, stiff-necked people, and you don't really believe that I exist because you've gotten away with everything you've done all your life without any repercussions, I'm going to show you I exist in a way that you can't believe." Down came the World Trade Center towers. That was God speaking.

1. Well looks like he something in common with Osama.

He is Glad that the towers are down and thinks it is God's will. Radical Christianity and Radical Islam are the same exact thing.

[sniffa]

4. and jerry faLweLL

[Jackpine Radical]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[ComerPerro]

12. he has said many times that part of the reason the "Islamofascts" hate us

is because of how widespread liberalism is in this country. Things like tolerance of gays, abortion, etc. It make them angry, and becasue of liberals they see us as infidels.

Basically, you could sum that up by saying that Savage apparently has the same social views as Al Qaeda.

[Richard D]

2. Yaozaa!

What a scumbag indeed.

[LostInAnomie]

3. Funny, I bet OBL would say something very similar.

Birds of a feather...

[earthboundmisfit]

5. Michael Savage: Professional ASS.

n/t

[ComerPerro]

6. disgusting, but its pretty standard for the Savage Weiner

[ThomWV]

7. So He's Saying God Dumped Jesus In Favor Of Mohamed?

Talk about getting tossed under the bus!

Well, its all moot of course. I saw it on the Discovery Channel, they found the body. Game's over.

[DCKit]

15. Self-delete

I'm such a dick.

[skypilot]

8. So God is a major backer of terrorists.

When do we start bombing heaven?

[fidgeting wildly]

51. lol! I always suspected as much!

10. All these weirdos and their quotes from God.

They don't have any idea how stupid they sound, do they?:dunce:

[napi21]

11. Has he been hanging out with Fallwel? I'd expect that BS from Fallwel,

but we all know he's just a religious nutcase. Savage, well, I don't know what he is, but religious he's NOT!

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Does sound a bit like he and Jerry have been chatting.

[eShirl]

13. more cheerleaders for Osama

why do they hate America?

[CrazyOrangeCat]

26. ain't it the truth . . .

(Autumn sez hi to Morpheus.:) )

[LeftishBrit]

50. For its freedoms, so it seems!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

14. "Stiff-necked"? Is that code for something? (n/t)

[donco6]

21. It's Bible lingo.

From the Old Testament. A typical condemnation of Jews, as a matter of fact.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

31. Ah. I figured there was more to it than...

"haughtily stubborn." Isn't he Jewish?

[skypilot]

22. At least he didn't say limp-wristed.

Which you would kind of expect from him.

[Radical Activist]

16. Sounds pretty typical for Savage.

Just another day in his relentless hateful rantings.

[donco6]

17. He and Pat Robertson should bunk together.

Both think God needs to speak in "disaster-ese".

I don't know why He can't just take out a billboard or something?

[izzie]

18. Zealots are always crazy. Every country and religious has them.

Usually we have been lucky to keep them in their place. A nut house.

[loudsue]

20. Sounds like he supports the terrorists' agenda to me.

Howza come the DHS hasn't investigated HIS ass? Oh yeah -- they're only going after Dems, 'cause that is what they were HIRED for!

:kick:

[Bicoastal]

23. Lets all pray really really really hard...

...and maybe Osama will vanish in a puff of smoke. After all, according to Savage, what is he but the messenger of God's will?

[myrna minx]

24. So it appears that Michael Savage and Osama bin Laden

have linked arms in brotherhood. :puke: They're identical cousins all the way. Two peas in a pod. How does Savage sleep at night?

[AndreaCG]

25. Olbermann will have fun with this.

Maybe TDS and Colbert too.

[mnmoderatedem]

53. he already did

Savage made his Worst Person list with that comment (I think he actually made it last week). Olberman skewered him pretty good, paraphrasing, "First it was the fault of the democrats that the Trade Centers came down, then it was all of the muslim world, now you apparantly get voice mails directly from God. Could you at least stick with one delusion??"

Gotta love Keith...

[slowry]

27. Crazy ignorant asshole makes crazy ignorant statement.

I'm shocked! :eyes:

[peaches2003]

28. Anything for attention

Savage, Limbaugh, and Coulter are a lot alike- say anything for attention.

[robertpaulsen]

29. WOW! Has he been sleeping with Dinesh D'Souza?

Two dingleberries cheering on al-Qaeda. Unbelievable!

[krispos42]

30. Western Europe is far less religious than we are

And far more permissive. Church attendence is at record lows, about half of ours. They have legaized pot, heroin, and prostitution.

So why are WE getting socked? Hmmm, Mr. Weiner?

[Canuckistanian]

32. He's a low-budget version of Coulter

His cries for attention will go nowhere. Nobody thinks he's relevant any more.

He's been saying this stuff for years, to no effect.

He's the RW fringe's fringe.

[Error]

33. Suggesting WTC the work of a Christian cult then?

sounds like he's translating the message 911 for us and backing it.

[louis-t]

34. "you boys in Hollywood and you girls in New York City"

He forgot San Francisco. Hoo-boy. Crazy person.:crazy:

[Lurking Dem]

45. Nah "Hollywood" and "New York"

are old time code for "Jews!"

Self hating gasbag.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

35. The Just and Benevolent God of love strikes again.

As an agnostic, I feel fortunate that I don't have a God that's spends all his time fretting whether I praise, satisfy, love, adore, or otherwise try to manipulate *HIM* into running things my way.

[mykpart]

36. Michael needs to get some Oxycontin from Rush

and chill out.

[tom_paine]

38. I am pretty sure Savage Weiner self-medicates heavily with something

Maybe cocaine, maybe methamphetamine. It would account for his mannerism and his madness.

[Johonny]

37. So

God is vain, mean spirited and hateful. Boy makes me want to worship that god some more...

[mile18blister]

39. God hates Big Corporations.

That's who was renting space in the Towers, isn't it? The Towers symbolized the financial might of Corporate America. God could have knocked down high-rise apartment buildings if He wanted to symbolize destruction of average Americans. And weren't those planes owned by Big Corporations?

And hey Weiner, why did the Repugs loose control of Congress? Think maybe somebody forgot to ask God before claiming He was on their side? Dems take back House and Senate, THAT was God speaking.

Disclaimer: References to God as He directed to Savage, not meant to indicate any knowledge of any Deity's gender.

[Crunchy Frog]

40. Boring.

Not really any different than what Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell said, except that he didn't explicitly say it was the fault of the gays and the feminists.

42. I believe that evil God brought down the towers, cuz Savage watched the whole thing

and turned into a gigantic pillar of bulshit.

[Cha]

43. The fuck savage knows?

savage is a useless sack of propoganda.

I asked a former friend the other day if he were still listening to savage and he said.."of course". I told him he wasn't even thinking for himself anymore and michael savage hates people like me cause I'm a big bad "Liberal"..anyway this person knows it's me or savage. Hate radio must be some kind of addiction for those who are under its spell.

Hasta La Vista, baby.

[Miss Chybil]

44. So, Terrorists are the mouthpiece of God? That's what bin Laden's been saying

for a long time. Now that Savage has confirmed it, I guess I'll go ahead and believe it. (Right.)

[EstimatedProphet]

46. The real proof that God is pissed off is Savage having a radio show

If like were truly not a punishment, Savage would be well known as the universal symbol of how not to be a human being.

[Fermezlabush]

47. So, all this anti-terra war is really a war against God then? No wonder we can't win!

Maybe we should stip fighting God, huh, Whiner?

[formercia]

48. God made me do it.

the latest cover story?

[rman]

49. A god with petty human emotions,

jealousy, revenge, anger.
Doesn't sound all that enlightened and supreme to me, sounds more like a projection of certain people's feelings.

And what was it that the Bible says about false prophets and people who claim god speaks to them?

[treestar]

52. Christo-fascists again prove they are jealous of the Muslims

Their "Muslim states" with religion and government entwined, 'religious police' and rules oppressing women.

[northzax]

55. no, I think what they are jealous of

is people who are willing to die for their faith. Jerry Falwell wishes he could inspire that sort of evil, but he can't. His followers want new cars and teevees, not paradise.

[treestar]

58. Never thought of it that way, but you know, it's probably true

They exaggerate the willingness of Muslims to die for it, too. But that's easy for right wingers - 19 of them did it, must mean they all would.

[northzax]

54. oh please.

God, the chap who destroyed entire cities with fire and brimstone for the sole purpose of killing the gays, God, who flooded the planet cause people pissed him off, God, who killed his own son to teach people a lesson, God, who created everything in the universe in 6 days? that God? and we're supposed to be impressed with him destroying an office building with a couple of airplanes? don't make me laugh. this took less work that parting the red sea. Sure, give me a meteor strike in the middle of a Notre Dame/Miami game, give me a giant sinkhole under Ohio Stadium, and then I'll be impressed.

[Morrisons Ghost]

56. When did Savage join the Westboro Baptist Church?

This sounds awful similiar to something the Phelps Clan would say:mad:

[genie_weenie]

57. Blah Blah Blah, Modern Man doesn't revere the Gods

therefore the Gods punish man. And here we are taking a page out of Khufu's playbook. Sometimes I forget The God Hypothesis is actually really old, probably formulated *at least* 35,000 to 50,000 years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry I meant it all started at 9am on October 22, 4004 BC...

Thank you James Ussher!

[FVZA_Colonel]

59. This seems to be a pretty common thing on the Radical Right these days.

From Dinesh D'Souza to Michael Savage, we are beginning to see that the Ultra-conservatives of America really aren't all that different from the people they profess to hate the most, the "Islamofascists."
