Savage: Democratic Party's "membership is made up largely of minority blocs ... that are all against the white person"

Summary: On his radio show, Michael Savage said, "The Democrat [sic] Party is the minority party. ... Obama is a minority, a half minority at least. The membership is made up largely of minority blocs, the Hispanic caucus and the gay caucus -- caucuses that are all against the white person." Savage also claimed: "Now, the white women generally are not as hard-nosed about things as the white male, and so many white women don't even understand that they're being duped, and they vote for a Democrat, not knowing that they're digging their own grave."

Open racism and bigotry.

But now they're going after the working-class white male, who is traditionally leery of the Sister Helen Prejeans, the gay lobby, the caucuses and the other lobbies that are trying to take away his child's birthright.

Which birthright would that be?  Oppressing the aforementioned groups?

She will go to a second-tier college, and those positions will be reserved for minorities because of affirmative action." The white male knows this, and he's not willing to sacrifice his child's future for the sake of political correctness to the extent that the white woman might be willing to do so.

Both a lie and open misogny.

Just another day in Wiener Wonderland.  What a piece of work.

Savage, playing the part of the persecuted majority, once again. I'm sure he's still bitter that he didn't get that Journalism Dean's position a long time ago. He of course claims that it was because of affirmative action, but could it have been because he didn't have any experience in, you know, journalism?

Posted by snoopy in reply to tbone

Well, he is sorta right, Democrats do have a lot of different minority blocks in their tent. Not because they hate whitey though. Republicans like RINO go out of their way disenfranchising anyone who refuses to toe the right wing line, and now the republican party is about to enter another 40 year period of obscurity for that mistake.

Posted by eb in reply to snoopy

Yea i gues the alternative is some sort of monolithical all white, all fundamentalist, all rich republican party.  I guess it will be 1950 forever

"Not because they hate whitey though."

   Of course using the term "whitey" doesn't show any racism, huh? Can you be any more hypocritical!?? Whine about Savage being a racist while using racist terms to describe people you hate. Classic liberalism

Posted by snoopy in reply to philib

Gee, look what coward sauntered in a day late and a dollar short thinking he has a point to make? Classic right wing christian.

Posted by roundhouse in reply to philib

Whatever, Phil. Spare us your fake ass indignation.

The right is hate. Own it.

The only thing Savage is good for is inspiring right wing lunatics to acts of violence against liberals.

"Philib" observeth:

As a matter of fact, "whitey" is a racist term--howbeit used by blacks towards whites.

Come to think of it: With Mr. "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" forever suggesting that whites are somehow entitled to "antient and pecuilar rights, privileges and powers as of right" (so to speak), how do we know he isn't some class of a closet apologist for apartheid South Africa from the white perspective?

"I can't believe Snoopy didn't get on that."

   Because you did that to the music of a "whitey" song. He only do rap, he don't do "whitey" stuff.

Posted by snoopy in reply to philib

I only do rap? Pretty racist thing to say.

Also pretty stupid, cause I'm white. Once again your assumptions has made an @ss of you and you...

Posted by philib in reply to snoopy

"Also pretty stupid, cause I'm white."

   Why would you be stupid because you're white? Isn't that racist, too?

Posted by RABBITLUVR in reply to philib

Well, YOU are quite stupid regardless of what color you are! Stupidity is color-blind, dude.

Posted by magnolialover in reply to RABBITLUVR

Phil is a racist, and has proven that many times over in his postings on this website.

Posted by neon desert in reply to philib

Bob Rivers already did a "tribute" to the savage weiner to that same tune - "Walkin' 'Round in Women's Underwear".

  • Lacy things -- the wife is missin',
    Didn't ask for her permission,
    I'm wearin' her clothes,
    Her silk pantyhose,
    Walkin' 'round in women's underwear

Although Col. Lefty. yours was fine also, and addressed another vital savage issue.

Posted by magnolialover

Well, take into account that approximately 72 million Americans are registered as democrats (42.6% if the entire country), and then take into account that the USA as a whole is 68% non-Hispanic white, then we can say that it stands to reason that approximately 49 million members of the Democratic party are, yes, non-Hispanic white.

Savage, wrong again!

You forgot to yell "White Power" there, Savage.

Actually, Bill Bowman wrote on his blog yesterday that this would most likely appear on Media Matters today.
http://www.truthtopowermedia.com/?p=168

What I find most humorous about Savage’s pandering to the “white male” crowd is that those who actually speak of it — the Aryan Nations of the country — hate him. Think of every anti-Semitic remark you can, and then some, and then you’ll know the words and phrases they use to describe him. I wish I had a grounding in psychology to be able to better understand why this guy courts these people so hard. Is there such a thing as “moth to the flame syndrome?”

Anyway, I’m sure that in the next few days Media Matters will probably post his entire spew, and I can’t wait to read it. I mean, really, have you ever come across anyone who had such a penchant for putting his foot in his mouth? Me neither.

Posted by matrixbio2014 in reply to megabot

"I wish I had a grounding in psychology to be able to better understand why this guy courts these people so hard."

He courts them b/c they have made him a rich man.  They are his listeners - low to lower-middle class whites, high school diplomas and less.  I remember the one who called in to recite the poem he had written -  he spoke of all the groups that were ruining America (in his mind) and the refrain contained the phrase "and then I buy another bullet."  Savage let him read it on air.  It tells you what this group, including Savage, are all about.  When Savage screams into the mic asking "When is this country going to wake up!?!?!?!" he is asking when the "followers" are going to use their bullets.  The followers financially support him, through advertisers, and directly through donations to his fund, b/c he is their "prophet" who tells them the truth of all things........

 

Posted by bill36 in reply to megabot

Thanks for the plug, Megabot.

Maybe Media Matters would have more luck than I have in getting the lyrics to Savage's song, "White Man." He copyrighted it when he was still a Weiner, but never published it. Wouldn't it be grand to get a public posting of a song I'm sure the Aryan Nation would adopt as its anthem?

Bill Bowman, Truth To Power Media.

Posted by thedailyphosdex in reply to bill36

Methinks a more apropos choice of a "white power" anthem might be the Nazis' Horst Wessel number.

Or, for that matter, "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika," apartheid South Africa's National Hymn.

White Male Birthright?????????? What the F is he talking about? I sure wish someone had informed me of this. I know nothing about it. What a racsist pig! 

Posted by wzwriter in reply to peebs755

White Male Birthright?????????? What the F is he talking about?

That's code talk for racism.  Reminds me of when I lived in Southern Colorado, and used to phone in to the local radio talk shows.  One of the guys I used to do battle with was a high muckety-muck in the Republican Party in Colorado Springs, and I actually heard him say on the radio one day that his biggest objection to Affirmative Action was that it "took jobs away from white men" - as if to imply that white men are supposed to get first pick at everything, with women and minorities supposed to be tankful for whatever was left......

Posted by zamfir273114

I am not denying that the Democratic party has changed drastically over the last 30 years. However, Savage fails to mention the fact that the GOP is nothing but a front-organization for BIG BUSINESS that basically wants to eliminate the middle-class, import labor from poor nations, export high-paying jobs to India, place profits before people and the environment, go to war with every nation that disagrees either with the U.S. or Israel and ignite another Cold War to ensure that the defense industry has unlimited profit potential.

Posted by magnolialover in reply to zamfir273114

That and statistics just, well, prove him outright incorrect and wrong.

Posted by roundhouse in reply to zamfir273114

Indeed.

Savage inadvertently makes a good case for healthcare and education for all. I mean remove high costs and open up opportunity in the spirit of healthy competition and this pissed off idea of, "you're getting ahead at my expense," fades away.

I mean think about it. It's as Sarah Robinson put it yesterday in a post at tompaine.com, remove people from the shackles of the medical insurance industry and just see what potential lies in the truly free spirit. She asked,

What would you do with guaranteed healthcare?

I love that Obama is bringing out the real right-wingers from the woodwork. They finally expose their real feelings about America and Americans for all to see.

Keep it coming, guys.

" and so many white women don't even understand that they're being duped"

If they are listening to him, I am inclined to agree.

Next he will suggest getting rid of the 19th Amendment since we are so easily led astray.

I'd comment but I'm a dumb white woman who doesn't understand.  Why is this bigot still on the air?  Soemone explain to the dumb white women out here. :-)

Thanks Uncle Mikey..now I have to become a Republican

Posted by Fire Starter KD in reply to princeofwheels

This leaves me with a question, though. If I'm half minority and half white, what should I do? Am I still another minority in Weiner-Savage's mind or am I just white to the minorities, and therefore Republican?

I was up against a white person last saturday night. Her name was Lora and she had a very nicely decorated bedroom!!

If the "white person" was Savage, Limbaugh, Hannity, OReilly, or any of the bs'ing idiots, even a monkey would be against that person.

Posted by tman418

If this doesn't prove that Weiner is racist then I have no idea what will. To say that giving rights to others is "stealing the white man's birthright" is totally racist. I'd like him to specify this all exclusive "birthright" of the white man.

Posted by vysotsky in reply to tman418

Oh, I don't think there's ever been any doubt that Savage traffics in racism. The more interesting question, to me, is whether or not this will raise a great stir than his comments about autism being a fake disease. That one actually cost him advertisers and radio stations. I'm betting, though, that his claims about the birthrights of white people won't cost him anything at all. He's said similar things in the past without notable consequence. Savage is paid to make people feel good about their prejudices. The occasional quasi-white-supremacist tirade is practically a contractual obligation for him.

Posted by Falcon1

Now! Now! Savage was taken out of context...again.

He didn't say: "The Democrat Party is the minority party. There is no question about it. Obama is a minority, a half minority at least. The membership is made up largely of minority blocs, the Hispanic caucus and the gay caucus -- caucuses that are all against the white person."

What he meant was: "The Democrat Party is the minority party. There is no question about it. Obama is a minority, a half minority at least. The membership is made up largely of minority blocs, the Hispanic caucus and the gay caucus -- caucuses that are all against the white person."

Posted by eweston8542983 in reply to Falcon1

Maybe you could trade those minority blocks for a good nerve block. You'll then find cross talk much easier.

Winkle only upon direction. Wankle when the need overcomes you.

And don't forget to BOOGIE!

"The Democrat [sic] Party is the minority party. ...

LOL

Unlike the Republican party convention, where the camera pans over the 25 minorities in the audience. They're hoping that most won't notice it's the same 25 minorities.

Don Imus got canned, when he labeled a group of black basketball players, "Nappy Headed Ho's."

Savage should be canned for saying autistic kids are faking, and his racism in this broadcast.

If he's not, it proves his bosses are racist pigs, like Savage.

Posted by bettybrown

you know, it was just the other night that tom brokaw and bob schieffer (sp?) made comments basically saying that sexism doesn't really exist on the same level as racism.  what entitled white males such as they don't realize, because it doesn't effect them, is that sexism is usually more subtle, and more accepted.  comments such as, "they don't understand they're being duped" are a good example.  sexists jerks like savage clearly believe that women just don't have the mental capacity to know when they're being "duped".  god, it makes me sooooo angry!!!  how dare he even exist in this day and age?  racist sexist moron. 

and his disgusting depth of sexism shows in his comments about women not realizing they are digging their own graves by voting democrat.  just goes to show that he has no clue about the issues that probably mean the most to half the adult population.  i'd like for this jackass to explain to me how voting republican wouldn't be digging my own grave.  voting for an anti-woman, anti-equal pay, anti-choice, anti-reproductive health candidate - oh,no, gee - that wouldn't be digging my gender's own grave, now would it?

Today, as a lifelong Democrat and a member of the Lithuanian-American caucus, I'm against just one white person - Michael Weiner.

White women are being "duped" in to voting for Dems?  HA!  That's what the Reps are all about.  Getting people to vote against their own self interest.

Yeah well Savage makes all white persons look bad. 

Posted by mac24jem3178

If a minority is not allowed into a job or school due to their race that is racism.  If a white person is not allowed into a job or school due to their race that is racism.  To allow 0% minorities in a company or school is racism.  To force companies or schools to have x% of minority membership is racism.  This is because you would have to judge the people on their race.  Both sides are right.  Get rid of affirmative action, but ensure that people can fight racism if they experience it.

Guess what.  Savage won the freedom of speach award.  What have any of you done for free speach.  Oh yeah, you want the fairness doctrine wich will kill any speach you consider offensive.  Speach you dont like is exactly what should be protected. Take your 1984 lifestyle to another continent. It's not welcome in the land of the free. You call people haters as you tear them apart with so much hate you are willing to spit on the constitution so you get your way. you make me sick and embarassed.
