Roommate -"I've got a book for you to read after I'm done"
Me-*what?"
Roommate - "Michael Savage 'Trickle down Tyranny"
Me- *expletive laden rant about rightwing propagandists*
Roommate - "I read everything"
Me- "Yeah, everything Michael Savage scrawls out in crayon"
My mission today is to search the far reaching internets, and find all the fucked up shit his hero has said and throw it back in his face.
Or DDO, haven't decided which one yet.

But my roommate is the kind of person that you can't really debate, because he is like Savage, he tries to talk over you, and just repeats bullshit louder and louder.
He had Savage's radio show blaring a few months ago, he got pissy when I started commenting on the shit Savage was saying.
I was like, if you don't want me to comment on it, put your fucking headphones on so I don't have to hear that garbage.

ETA: I hope it's a library book and that your roomie hasn't helped line hateful Savage's pockets.

Life is tough enough but living with a wingnut will kill you. Think about your blood pressure, your sanity...

(2,979 posts)He doesn't go around quoting Savage or anything, and I think he was just trolling me this morning, lol.
He's actually a very good roommate, which is hard to find down here.
But he just listens to, and reads bullshit.
