Michael Savage decides to jump the gun on tasteless Ted Kennedy Comments
http://mediamatters.org/items/200805210001

Michael Savage plays Dead Kennedys song "in some respect for" Sen. Kennedy
Summary: On the day it was announced that Sen. Ted Kennedy had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage opened his show by interspersing audio of Kennedy singing "Ay Jalisco No Te Rajes" with clips of news reporters discussing Kennedy's diagnosis and audio from Kindergarten Cop in which Arnold Schwarzenegger's character says, "It's not a tumor." Later, Savage played the Dead Kennedys song "California Über Alles" after stating: "The poor guy's been suffering for years, you know? Unfairly he's been accused of alcoholism, but we see now that it was something much more deep-seated. And so, to cut this out in some respect for Ted Kennedy, here's a tune coming at you from the Dead Kennedys. Go ahead and play it, please."

3. With the comments about Reagan
when he died, I guess we've got no real room to complain. Although I'm not sure any radio personalities made rude comments, which is different.

4. His day will come, and I hope he suffers slowly when it does.
He (and his disgusting ilk) forget they will one day get the bad news from their doctors, too.

He is shit, period.

12. If Dick Cheney had a brain tumor, would Weiner play The Dickies?
Maybe their version of the Banana Splits theme...

10. Whats funny is, at that time, DK were no fans of Jerry Brown.
Yet Savage donated money to Jerry Brown's Attorney Gerneral campaign.

11. We should be like Repukes..
and demand an apology.... Maybe pass a resolution in the house and Senate condemning the Weiner. They made such a big deal about Move On being disrespectful to Petraeus...I think this is quite a big worse!
(I'm being sarcastic about the resolution)
