Did you know that San Francisco-based Michael Savage, God-fearing KNEW performance artist who was literally banned from entering Britain for being mean, founded Rockstar energy drink? It's true. He used to be an herbalist hippie back in the day, dropping acid while fending off the advances of Alan Ginsberg.
Anyway, some communists want you not to drink his uplifting beverage. Because Savage has the tendency to say things like this:
"You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How's that? ... [G]o eat a sausage and choke on it." - to a gay caller on MSNBC before he was fired from MSNBC.
Or this:
"...children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia, that's my position. They're raping our children's minds." (Don't forget their tender little bottoms, Michael. We're raping those too.)
And this:
"You want me to tell you what makes me sick? When I see two puffy white males kissing each other, I want to puke. When I see two women kissing each other, on the lips, as lovers, I want to vomit."
But it's not just the queers who choke on his (surprisingly entertaining) venom. Anti-war activists, Obama, the conscientious, people with dark skin, or anyone left-of center get slammed on his show on a daily basis.
And while he's suddenly turned into a proponent of free speech (something he aggressively loathed during the Bush era), you too are being asked to use you constitutional rights by not purchasing his upper soft drink. We stopped drinking the stuff ever since a cop pulled us over, mistaking the sugar-free can for beer. But for those of you do-gooders who swill the crap-tasting brew, you might want to think twice before popping open a can.

Never tempted to drink the rotgut in a can but will spread the word to anyone I see with it - the creator in anything but a rock star. What a moron.
To be completely juvenile: Michael changed his surname from Weiner to Savage. I'm not sure how his phallic family name is pronounced, but it doesn't matter. It's still telling. He's a wiener (neener, neener) – seriously though, bigots are cowards. He's a whiner (and made bank doing so). And he's probably got mommy issues (that'd be a weener). I guess childishness inspires childishness: it was pretty juvenile on his part to change his name to "Savage" to begin with. Why stop there, he should start calling himself: "Max Power." You should probably buy a guitar (or a gaming system) if you want to be a rockstar.
I would never drink that swill, nor would anyone I know. But if I see anyone making a move toward it, I'll pass the word.
On another note, I could do without that picture. This is almost as bad as the damn hairlip photos in the Examiner.
His interview on NPR's "Talk of the Nation" yesterday shows what kind of person Michael Savage really is:

And here I was betting that the Wieners were behind Monster Energy drinks "So when it's time to unleash the beast within, grab a MONSTER and GO BIG!")
And we care about some idiot that dares speak like this publicly, why exactly?
I can't be sure what's worse, the hatred or the tepid depth of second-grade level insults. I know four year olds that speak with more command.
He has 10 million listeners per week. Keep up.
The hell he does. Those numbers must include everyone who dials through his show while killing time on the commute.
No one believes Rush's numbers either, although with a word to the dittoheads, he can still get you bombarded with ALL CAPS letters.
Fine. 5 million. Call Arbitron, whatever. The point still stands. An awful lot of people listen to Savage Nation.
And if you delve further into those numbers you see that the average age of the Michael Weeeeeenertinycock listner is 72. So they'll all be dead next year. Yay!
So to my question, "why are we paying attention to a mind-numbing moron?" you reply "he has 10 million listeners."
Ok. But your response is a non sequitur that neither poses nor answers any question. The sky is blue too, so what?
Let me know when you have a relevant point to make.
.... Seemed relevant to me. Why are "we" paying attention. It is because he has 10 million listeners.
If it was me writing that on little post-its in my bedroom, "we" wouldn't be paying attention.
i assume the "keep up" was in jest. maybe i mistook your tone as well.
that quote is from 2003.... but i'm sure he hasn't cleaned up his act too much.
I had never heard of this guy until a couple of years ago. I was in Kansas City with my sister while she was giving birth to my niece. In the delivery room, I was talking to the nurse and said that I had flown in for the occasion. The nurse asked me where I was from and when I said SF, she started talking about this guy. The nurse was just shocked that I hadn't heard of him and told me how much she loved his show. I had no idea I was talking to such a lunatic until I looked it up online later.
