Savage sexism
Wow, notorious social conservative Michael Savage sure is a class act. Like take for example this picture and caption that the shockingly popular talk radio personality is currently running on his website:
Two gold medalists and three young actresses (one of them underage). None of them are tabloid fodder. None of them are known for any sort of promiscuity. None of them have earned public ire. None of them are even wearing anything all that revealing. Hell, Adrianne is wearing tights and a long sleeve skirt! Yet for some inexplicable reason (::cough:: misogny), these five are branded as "sluts." That's Micahel (or his site writer's) sole point: that pretty women, by vture of being in shape pretty women at a fashion show, are sluts. There's no story, no commentary, no attempt at humor attached to it. There is only this unprovoked, undeserved "Sluts R Us" caption.
This is the type of rhetoric that the oh-so-Christian Thomas More Law Center is now defending?! Wow. That Jesus guy has some funny views on respect for women!

Your thoughts
Ohhh, jealousy and bitterness are SAVAGE things...
Very obvious that he is simply annoyed that none of these girls (or any girls who resemble these girls in looks, success, and probably personality) would ever give Michael Savage the time of day. For multiple reasons, including but not exclusive to his looks, his voice, his attire, his word vomit, his general point of view toward everyone around him who isn't a right wing psychopath...
I hope more info comes about this. I hope someone calls him out on it.
He's a moron.

As much as Mr. Savage personally disgusts me - I kinda do see what is wrong with Fairness Doctrine - why does it seem as if it’s only being imposed on talk radio and not TV, the internet and print media.
Of course I'm speaking without complete knowledge of what Fairness Doctrine is all about (which I will start doing some research on)- but it does seem as though on the surface conservative media will be the most affected by it and I think that's unfair if we're suppose to live in a society that holds freedom of speech as one of our greatest rights.

And who cares if they WERE known for promiscuity? There's still NO justification for such a pathetic and vile headline.

Jeremy, If I had a wide reaching radio audience (not, of curse the zombies that listen to this halfwit) I would call him a few nice names too....but then again, garbage like him isn't worth my breath!

"And who cares if they WERE known for promiscuity"
Yes, I hesitated before writing that. But I wanted to make a point that even though it wouldn't matter, these young women have never caught headlines because of anything sexual.

WOW, Michael Savage. How long did that take you to come up with, "Sluts R Us". So Michael Savage, are you trying to say that all girls and women are sluts basically. I am just guessing here, but you brought up the point. I am a straight guy, so is Michael Savage wants all us guys to walk up to women basically and say "Hey bitch, will you drop your pants and panties and have my way with you and when I finished with you, you don't mind if I tell all my guy friends that your a slut". WOW Michael Savage, with a title like "Sluts R Us", you opened up a whole can of whoop ass. I will not feel sorry for you Michael Savage if the ladies out there harm you or harm anything of you that is special to you. You opened up the flood gates. I don't have any sympathy for you.
I want to let men and women on here that I am not on here just cause I feel bad for gays and lesbians. I am not going to have myself a pity party cause I didn't respect gay and lesbians when I was growing up. I now know what is from right and wrong. I have two bestfriends who are lesbians and when I got to know them, the only thing in life that matters is that they are truly in love with each other which makes me very happy. I love them both very much and of course I am not going to tell them I am on here just cause I don't want them to think that I was wrong in the past. I just want to better myself and if I ever have kids and if one of my kids was gay or a lesbian, I just want them to find someone who is going to respect and love them for them.
Michael Savage, your a stupid retard. I don't know, is that why so many men don't have respect for women out in this world. Too me, I think that men truly believe we are suppose to dominate women and just get them in bed and some men post numbers I guess to see how they fair if there good or not. So Michael Savage, you made the male gender going even farther back, soon we are going to be perceived back to the cavemen era. I applaud you Michael Savage, now this makes it even harder for me to find my first girlfriend. Thanks for the reputation that you put on us men that women have to be cautious about us.
Sincerely I hate you Michael Savage,
Lee
