Savage fired
MSNBC fired Michael Savage in response to his on-air comments Saturday night.
“Oh, you’re one of the sodomites,” Savage said. “You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How’s that? Why don’t you see if you can sue me, you pig. You got nothing better than to put me down, you piece of garbage. You have got nothing to do today, go eat a sausage and choke on it.”
He asked for another phone caller who “didn’t have a nice night in the bathhouse who’s angry at me today.”
Savage responds on his own website that it was all a misunderstanding.
[This incident] was an interchange between me personally and a mean spirited vicious setup caller which I thought was taking place off the air. It was not meant to reflect my views of the terrible tragedy and suffering associated with AIDS.
Was MSNBC really surprised when this happened? I don’t give them points for firing Savage, when they knew precisely what he was when they hired him.
