Here's a man that needs to read less and get out more. His longevity could very well depend upon it.

Michael Savage is an angry man. You can tell, because he plays a lot of angry heavy metal on his show (and my discussions with serious metal fans has confirmed my suspicion that his taste in metal is really pretty terrible). You can tell because he has an accent that makes one's fingers flex convulsively as if aching to pick up a leather sap and smack the source of the voice around a bit. You can tell because he shouts at the microphone and his callers.

Clearly a student of Limbaugh's, Savage emulates his better-known contemporary while adding touches of meanness. He uses many of the same techniques as Rush, but with less finesse and more shouting.

Savage has taken Limbaugh's level of mockery up a notch. Where Rush will belittle his political opponents by giving them silly names ("Dingy Harry" for Harry Reed, "National Association of Gals (NAG)" for the National Association of Women (NOW), etc.), Savage channels his anger and his perceived creativity into clever monikers like the "Demon Cats" for the Democrats. Like the example, his names aren't funny, are a creative stretch, and distract from his points by making occasional listeners scratch their heads.

ative stretch, and distract from his points by making occasional listeners scratch their heads.

When his callers disagree with him, he is in his glory. Rather than using condescension, he is a proponent of the Meanness Doctrine of talk radio. His air name clearly expresses the behavior he espouses. Callers should be prepared to be labeled Communists, Nazis, or any other term the FCC allows if they do not completely support the beliefs of the so-called Savage Nation. Savage is known to have strong (right-wing) views on border protection, immigration, homosexuality, judicial activism, Judeo-Christian ethics, feminism, and is quite critical of his radio contemporaries, branding them with such names as Hush Bimbo and Pawn Vanity.

Savage has built his fame through is acerbic remarks and controversial statements. He once used "To the right of Rush, and to the left of God" as his slogan. Among conservative radio personalities, he's the scariest and most extreme.
