Each time having that alien probe thrusted into you like that might have an enormous influence on his masculinity and sanity which is why Savage acts like he does.

He shows classic signs of definate alien abduction.

If you don’t believe me, ask Mulder and Scully to show you the X Files on Savage.

I saw Savage with Beck and the two doctors on CNN Monday night. They kept asking him about the 99% comment. He had plenty of chances to respond. He never said what you say he meant.

Someone go tell Dan Marino and Doug Flutie they have poor parenting skills.

Even if a child is misdiagnosed, it doesn’t mean he’s a brat who needs better discipline. Savage wasn’t taken out of context — he said exactly what he meant. That’s why he won’t apologize — not that I’d accept it (as the parent of a son with autism).

Autism is a developmental disability, and for some reason DD gets higher funding than other diagnoses. Yeah, the school district gets more money for DD kids, but if you’re a knowledgeable parent who doesn’t let them railroad you, they will be spending every dime they get for your child — on your child.

Racket indeed — Savage & pmavrk can go f uck themselves.

ralph the wonder llama –

Absurd? Perhaps you would like ot join me at the next IEP meeting for my child.

No need. As I pointed out, I have personal experience with this issue already.

I cannot speak to your sister inlaws experience but all districts within the state are very different. My district is very liberal with labels and will happily label your sister inlaw’s child. Your sister inlaw’s district sounds much tougher. Hey, if she needs more services, come to my district.

You don’t read very closely, do you?

Defending Savage? Yes, I will always defend people who are falsly accused by hateful left wing entities like media matters and this board. The very sad thing is, most of the folks on this board do not even know anyone with Autism. But they are happy to jump on the bandwagon to bash Savage. Its teh mob mentality.

I listened to the entire show. The quotes that you pasted are OUT OF CONTEXT. Do you understand what OUT OF CONTEXT MEANS Ralph? He was saying that 99 percent of the cases that were MISDIAGNOSED, was a brat who needed disipline.

I think I understand what OUT OF CONTEXT means, but I’m not sure if it means the same thing to you. That’s why i asked for clarification from you. I can’t tell if you ignored my question of how much context is sufficient, or if you think you answered it with “I listened to the entire show”.

If that’s the case, then you seem to be trying to tell me that this isn’t enough context:

Now, you want me to tell you my opinion on autism, since I’m not talking about autism? A fraud, a racket. For a long while, we were hearing that every minority child had asthma. Why did they sudden — why was there an asthma epidemic amongst minority children? Because I’ll tell you why: The children got extra welfare if they were disabled, and they got extra help in school. It was a money racket. Everyone went in and was told [fake cough], “When the nurse looks at you, you go [fake cough], ‘I don’t know, the dust got me.’ ” See, everyone had asthma from the minority community. That was number one.

Autism — everybody has an illness. If I behaved like a fool, my father called me a fool. And he said to me, “Don’t behave like a fool.” The worst thing he said — “Don’t behave like a fool. Don’t be anybody’s dummy. Don’t sound like an idiot. Don’t act like a girl. Don’t cry.” That’s what I was raised with. That’s what you should raise your children with. Stop with the sensitivity training. You’re turning your son into a girl, and you’re turning your nation into a nation of losers and beaten men. That’s why we have the politicians we have.

Now, that seems to me like a lot of context. And nowhere in there do I read any kind of qualifiers like you suggest. Can you find some of the context you say we’re missing and post it here?

Because four complete paragraphs seems to me like it ought to be enough context to accurately gauge the tone, the mood and the intent of the speaker. Especially this speaker, who is so prone to excess, not so famous for nuance. .

Thanks. I look forward to your response.

He graduated high school and is struggling through college, but he will never be able to function normally in society. His career options are severely limited by his condition and his social skills are practically nonexistent. (By the way, he’s a staunch right-winger now. Something about the ideology appeals to his lack of empathy and distaste for nuance.)

So i have to say I find your defense of Savage absurd and I’ll match your anecdote with my own.

As for Savage Weiner being “taken out of context”, how much context is required? Media Matters publishes extended transcripts for all their stories, and accompanies them with video and audio recordings when applicable.

Please share with us what that missing context would supply that would make Savage Weiner’s diagnosis that “99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out.” sound less hateful than the actual words convey?

Thank you, Keith. And my son thanks you as well. :)

Put out ($$$$$), or shut up!

Read the signs…knowledge is POWER!

He is not a medical doctor
He is not a licensed Child Psychologist
He is not a expert in Child Development

Regardless of his statements….he needs to be educated on the signs and treatments of Autism.

His office should be flooded with information on the topic in order to inform him and next be FIRED!

Since the rise of diagnosis’s of children are rising… maybe he should think about “WHY IS THAT”? There is not just one simple answer or solution to the rise of diagnosed children/adults…

He is just ignorant!

It is said that Savage used to be a liberal before he got his show. I wouldn’t know about that. What I do know having heard him, is he is a disturbed individual. The hate simply boils out of him daily. Every day. I cannot understand how he can sustain such anger. And the more outrageous he is the more controversial he is, the more money he makes. His price goes up. And there will always be someone willing to hire this man. Clear Channel is the organization that put him on the air. These media conglomerates have almost no ethics. They do not provide a public service. They do not support intelligent discourse. They do not educate the public. And truth has nothing to do with the people they hire. It is money. Money and money. This is all they know or understand. They don’t provide a public service. They provide people with the lowest common denominator, hatred and prejudice.

I don’t believe in censorship. What I do believe is turning off the radio or television. Since the bottom line is money, if you stop listening he will be taken off the air.

dandbrew,
