Comments on: Five More Advertisers Abandon Michael Savage’s Hate-Filled Radio Show http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/11/five-advertisers-drop-savage/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:35:19 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: batteries http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/11/five-advertisers-drop-savage/comment-page-2/#comment-5284158 batteries Wed, 15 Oct 2008 07:47:30 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2008/02/11/five-advertisers-drop-savage/#comment-5284158 This is a smart business decision by these advertisers. They can tell the country is rejecting the right-wing hate radio speech by the results in the state primaries/caucuses. They hear about exit polls just like everybody else. When the so-called experts talk about “change” being so popular, they don’t like to put <a href="http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/asus/a4l.htm" rel="nofollow">asus a4l battery</a>,<a href="http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/asus/a42-w3.htm" rel="nofollow">asus a42-w3 battery</a> that in any context. I think what it means is the country is rejecting the old politics of hate and division and voting for the candidates who can unite our country again.

It's all about rating and unfortunately most Americans love garbage like Savage...and Limbaugh...and Hannity. Hate sells big time. Just look at the past 7.5 years.

The local hate-bloggers, a handful really, are a bunch of "bullies" and our local media has become enamored with them, finding them useful. Its crazy. The community has grown numb to it - and this I find <strong>very </strong>dangerous. We are inundated here in Pasadena, CA with hate blogs who use violent language all the time.

Look at thier track record. Look at all the x-members who have been kicked out of the country. If I was to drive around with a blurb like such, "Death by stoning for two sisters in Iran, damn 14th century throwbacks". Are you going to find me disgusting for writting that (Which I do) or the creeps that stone these girls? My point, Mike just brings awareness to people that have no idea stuff lke this even takes place. Two people stopped to ask me if they really stoned people to death in Iran. See me point? CAIR has enough skeletons to fill a graveyard. They called the FBI on me for some alleged death threat I sent them. Well, I was never charged becuase there was NO DEATH THREAT. Islam and the wests freedom of speech do not mash. Regards, Chris King srobins2 – OJ was never convicted either.

This government "reminder" doesn't prove a thing. The government says and says that CAIR is a terrorist organization, but they have never offered a shred of evidence to substantiate that accusation. Not one. They *say* such "evidence" was introduced at the HLF trial, but if it were real evidence, rather than more unfounded assertions, why haven't they prosecuted CAIR? Because they can't--because there *is no evidence.* Wankler, what is your point? This government “reminder” doesn’t prove a thing.

I sent an email to her campaign asking for their response and all I got was a canned email asking for money. I am very disturbed by this information. I know the entire process has been corrupted by corporate interests, but to think that she would bed down with the scum that would sooner see people poisoned and starve then give up their profits is disgusting. Her coalition of Rural voters for Hillary is sponsored by Monsanto. I've tried searching the internet to debunk it, but I can't find anything. I can not in good conscience vote for her if her agenda includes making GMO=organic foods.
