Outrage Over Michael Savage Attack On Autism
I am appalled, outraged, incensed and just plain pissed off over Michael Savage and his attack on Autism. This man, who I am so happy to say that I’ve never heard before has come to the forefront of the media as the moron he really is by his absurd beliefs about Autism and Asthma.
I’m happy to read that radio stations are now dropping his show and that a major advertiser, Aflac is dropping their sponsorship of his program. I hope that others will do so. There has been demonstrations, blog posts and media hype over his outrageous remarks.
Please view this video below which contains some of the remarks by Savage, who was born Michael Weiner, on his radio show, Savage Nation:

I voted a a guest for the disney dream job. I never heard of Savage before all this and have only read snippets around. I am glad about AFLAC too. I heard that sears and home depot were contacted but never were sponsors of his show.
Good luck

It’s nice to know that there are sponsors out there who will pull their ads when idiots like this stick their feet in their mouth. Some people don’t even deserve the title of “idiot”.

I had never heard of him before either until I could not sleep the other night and saw him on Larry King. I was outraged! Not just as a parent of an autistic child but the rest of he comments were offensive too. Hopefully, more sponsors will drop him and then he will get fired. Sadly though, I don’t think that this will shut him up…

[...] Savage has reached an all time low by going on a rant about Autism. I’ve posted about this on my other blog Brain Foggles but I want to reach as large an audience as possible with [...]

I couldn’t agree more. I put a post up on my site as well. The man is an idiot and I’m thrilled to see that people can and will vote with their voices and pocketbooks.
