Savage on Sen. Bernie Sanders: "a dirty socialist" who should "go to hell"
On the January 25 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage attacked Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-VT), saying, "Kiss my behind, you psycho," and "Screw you, you jealous loser." Savage also called Sanders "a rat," "a bum," and "a dirty socialist" and told him to "go to hell." These remarks followed audio clips Savage played on his show, in which Sanders addressed the issues of wealth distribution and childhood poverty. Savage asked: "Now, how did child poverty become an issue all of a sudden? ... Two weeks ago we heard that -- before the elections, three months ago -- that children were overweight and fat from eating too much McDonald's; they were dying of diabetes from being little piglets. Now, we hear about childhood poverty, childhood poverty."
According to The Washington Post, Sanders is "the first self-proclaimed socialist to become a U.S. senator," after being elected to the Senate in the November 2006 elections. He served in the House before that for eight terms.
During the same broadcast, Savage falsely stated that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) "will not reply" to a report from InsightMag.com claiming that "sources close to
background check" supposedly "conducted by researchers connected to" Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) found that Obama was raised as a Muslim by his stepfather in Indonesia and spent at least four years in a madrassa, or a Muslim religious school. In fact, in a January 20 New York Post article, Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, was quoted as saying that " was not raised as a Muslim, and he did not go to a madrassa." Axelrod called the story "a complete contrivance," adding that it was "divisive, destructive garbage." Axelrod also stated that he did not "believe ... for a second" the idea that Clinton's camp was behind the allegation.
Obama's office also released a statement on January 23 that categorically denied InsightMag.com's report: "All of the claims about Senator Obama's faith and education raised in the Insight Magazine story ... are false. Senator Obama was raised in a secular household in Indonesia by his stepfather and mother."
During his program, Savage also said that, "assuming the world is still here" after a Clinton-Obama administration, Obama would then run for president with "Saddam Hussein's younger grandson" as his running mate.
From the January 25 edition of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:
SAVAGE: But if you look at the attention that is being lavished on Barack Hussein Obama, you will see a completely unqualified man, who is being held up as a potential presidential candidate. Now, in spite of the media's attempt to push this anointed candidate over the top, Barack Hussein Obama is consistently outpolled by even minor entrants into the race like <2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee and former Sen.> John Edwards , a lawyer who made his fortune by suing doctors.
So, why does the media continue to position Obama as the front-runner? Here's Michael Savage's analysis: The liberal media is pushing Obama knowing he can't win. They're pushing Obama so that he becomes the target of critics instead of Hillary. Obama gets the attention, Obama generates buzz, and all the while Hillary flies along under the radar. Then after all of the conservative and other critics have spent all of their ammo to take down Obama, such as his years in a madrassa as a Muslim student in Indonesia, which he will not reply about, Obama then falls out of the race, but he comes back in a year as the VP candidate on Hillary's ticket. So, you'll have a Hillary candidacy with Obama as a vice presidential candidate, which will be a liberal juggernaut that will win in the absence of any real conservative opposition. ......(more)
