A fun and easy way to get your message out to thousands, even millions of people, is through the medium of talk radio. Although firmly in the trenches of the right, it's still possible to get a liberal point of view onto the airwaves by following these easy steps: 1) When the screener asks you what you want to talk about, be sure and tell them something relatively innocuous but tangentially relatable to the point you want to make.
2) If possible, use a slightly southern or hick accent - they're more likely to put you on and the AM audience is more likely to relate to you.
3) Don't go straight to your main point - get there incrementally. Remember there's a seven-second delay and they'll cut you off if you go too far or get there too fast.
Michael Savage
I made this call about a week after Savage lost his cable TV show for exploding at a caller he termed a "sodomite" and saying he should "die of AIDS". I was hoping with my call to bait him into saying something similarly stupid and possibly getting him off the airwaves entirely. Failing that, I hoped I might give him an aneurysm. Came pretty damn close too.
Savage: Okay, I wanna hear from you callers out there, the ones who were raised by leftist parents... all you red-diaper doper babies out there. I wanna hear if you liked them, if they screwed you up, whatever. Our first call's from Justin in Los Angeles. Justin, welcome to the Savage Nation.
Justin (Me): Hi Michael. I'm definitely one of those kids-of-leftists. My father was very big into civil rights and poverty issues back in the sixties. I hate to disappoint you though: he wasn't a hippie or anything like that, he was more a nerdy kind of activist, you know, the kind with short hair...
Savage: Uh-huh.
Justin: And I guess, 'cuz he spent a lot of time trying to help out other people and his causes and the like, he wasn't really home all that much, or not as much as he could've been, and I know it must've had some impact on the family, but y'know what?
Savage: What?
Justin: You aren't fit to lick his boots.
Savage: (enraged) What?! What the hell do you know about me? What the hell do you know about anything? You don't know anything about me, about what I've done... about my work in nutrition, in conservation... anything! How would you know anything about me?
Justin: Well, I hear what you say on the radio...
Savage: You don't know anything! You're just stupid, like the rest of them, what do you know?
Justin: I've heard your mother still cries when you try to seduce her.
Savage: WHAT! YOU BASTARD! You FILTHY FILTHY BASTARD! You just come here and say that! You just come down to the studio... any time any place, I swear to god you filthy, filthy miserable leftist commie son of a bitch...(etc. etc. for another minute or two...)
LOVE IT
