Its syntactically challenged comment notwithstanding, it's interesting to note that its argument proceeds thus: You disagree with me, therefore you have never listened to the show. All the rest appears to be plugs for Savage's books, if the targets of the links it has provided are any indication. And for the record, I would not in a million years suggest that Savage's brother was merely in need of a good slap to the head. TripleKick 6 Says:

I posted a number of comments last night and it appears that the moderator erased them all. What are you liberals afraid of? Does a different opinion really cause that much angst in you? By the way. Here are your democrats at work. Seems to me that the Republicans are the only ones who really care about the gas prices. http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0808/House_Dems_turn_out_out_the_light_but_GOP_keep_talking.html Wow, this board really does keep th truth from you.

Pretty soon, that kind of thing will be as admissible as the "homosexual mind rape" comments, especially if no one stands up to these disgusting, brain dead right wing idiots EVERY time they attack vulnerable groups, and not just children with autism.

He failed the (poor) taste test years ago but still commands a large audience of people who like to listen to his lies and distortions. I guess he hasn't been caught on air attacking childen yet.

From Wiki…

In 2008, Talkers Magazine rated Larson as the 27th most important radio talk show host in America.[6]

This is the way it's supposed to work according to the Capitalist Pigs. The "Free Market" (no such thing in the US, in truth) will weed out the "bad products". So if Savage ends up losing all of his air time, the right wing can blame themselves, for this is how they say it should happen. This is good.
