I know, I know. It sounds like liberal blasphemy to say I like any conservative personality and not mean it in some kind of backhanded “I love Howard Dean because he helps my cause” kind of way. I actually and genuinely like Michael Savage. Why? He’s batshit crazy and that’s funny as hell.

The most recent example of such is his jihad (no other word for it) against the good people at Media Matters. He flipped out against the fact that they would have the audacity to reproduce what he’s saying, and went so far as to send them an email. Take a look.

If you ever harass me again I will have you prosecuted under California’s anti-stalking legislation. This indicates malice and intent to harm on the part of media matters.

Apparently Savage got sent an email with a MediaMatters item on him attached. I can only imagine how awful it would be if someone sent me an email with my own words printed in it. Oh, and MM says his email address is available at bacons.com, but I’d avoid that. It’s this: paulreveresociety@aol.com (his old one was @yahoo.com, I’m just going with @aol.com due to MM’s listing, so try both!)

I don’t really need to go into details on the guy, most of it’s obvious. If you don’t know, just peruse his Wikipedia entry. The man’s out of his gourd. He’s a guy named Michael Alan Weiner with a degree in botany that wrote a book called Plant a Tree and now spends all of his time talking about liberals. Well, not ALL of his time, he does knock the occasional “Bushbot” (his term). But listeners of his program? They ain’t on the left.

And the things he says? They’re just beautiful. Imagine if you took your average conservative windbag, got him completely hammered, and sat him in a room all by himself except for another guy who periodically mentioned news stories just to get him rambling. That’s Savage. A guy who says things so off the wall you can neither get truly offended by them nor thing he actually believes them. I mean, c’mon.

On civil rights:

“It’s a racket that is used to exploit primarily heterosexual, Christian, white males’ birthright and steal from them what is their birthright and give it to people who didn’t qualify for it.”

On Wolf Blitzer:

“That’s why the department store dummy named Wolf Blitzer, a Jew who was born in Israel, will do the astonishing act of being the type that would stick Jewish children into a gas chamber to stay alive another day. He’s probably the most despicable man in the media next to Larry King, who takes a close runner-up by the hair of a nose. The two of them together look like the type that would have pushed Jewish children into the oven to stay alive one more day to entertain the Nazis.”

On Muslims:

“They say, “Oh, there’s a billion of them.” I said, “So, kill 100 million of them, then there’ll be 900 million of them.” I mean, would you rather die — would you rather us die than them?”

This isn’t like Beck or Coulter, people who seem to really believe what they say. This is a comedy act by an environmentalist with perhaps a slight Jewish bias (hence the prior 2 comments, I believe). And to be honest, it’s damn hilarious. The only people I get mad at are the ones stupid enough to tank a single thing that comes out of his man’s mouth seriously.

I mean, the guy CAN’T be for real, can he?
