Michael Savage booted from Los Angeles station.
Michael Savage booted from Los Angeles station.
In the ongoing fallout from his screed against children with autism, right-wing radio host Michael Savage has been kicked off Los Angeles’ KGIL and will be replaced by conservative talker Lars Larson, according to a Larson press release. LA is the second largest radio market in the country. Already, radio stations in Ohio, Mississippi, and Virginia have dropped Savage, and a host of advertisers have done the same.

7. Good about Weiner ... AAARGH about Larson ...
YECCCCCCCH.

KGIL is a weird mix -- Michael Jackson (not the Gloved One but the
ORIGINAL talk show host!) in the morning, Neil Boortz and now Lars
Larson in the evenings.

13. Try to convince him to say something incredibly stupid about autistic kids
You think we're mad here at DU. You just don't piss off the mommy and daddy bears. It ain't smart. Weinerdog ain't smart but he's gettin' schooled right now.

31. I guess there aren't enough folks affected by Parkinson's
There is a whole legion of us affected by autism or rather, we watch our children being lost to the ravages of "regressive autism" which is a fancy way of saying they were just fine until about 18-24 months and then bye-bye. We are not bad parents and in fact, are very diligent. We will not be mocked nor have our children mocked. Weinerdog is learning that the hard way. I'm sorry that Rush didn't get drummed out for his callous way with people with Parkinson's. It should have happened. He is scum.

I remember watching him on TV years ago for about 5 min. He's still a douchebag, I take it.

18. Autistic kids are the most fragil of the innocents.. the most heart breaking. and there are so many
and so few people care, fewer ask why are there so many, fewer do anything about it. the cause of Autism can be found by asking what corporation are they protecting.

remember in the 80's, the environmental canaries, the people allergic to everything..? that was caused by a chemical called 4PC. it was an element in the glue of carpet backing, it was covered up, even when 30% of the EPA workers in their new building went sick/disabled, it was so bad the building was declared a "Sick" building and was abandoned. people broke in 7 years later, cut out a 12 inch square of carpet, put it in a device that fed air over the carpet sample to 10 individual mice, air was diverted to 4 control mice.. all 10 carpet air mice died, 6 were dead in 24 hours, all were dead in 48 hours... i was one of the effected by 4PC, i moved to THE back woods IN WA, and recovered in about 6 years. i found an old cabin and avoided all petrolium, chemicals, i met a lot of others in the woods like myself.. many much worse off.

i also have Aspergers Syndrome, if i did hand flipping as a child, etc, my father hit me, if i freaked out he whipped me, my first memory in life of him is him walking away, im laying on the hard wood floor, he is 90*s off horozontal, my ear was on the floor the hard leather of his heal resinated loudly from the floor, he was complaining about how bad his hand hurt from beating me. i was trying hard not to cry, he beat me till i stopped crying, i clearly remember how stupid that sounded, and that was before he started drinking. i'm 59 yrars old and that thought still brings tears.
i really hate people like savage, boortz.. the kind of hate that causes nausia. i know how they and their listeners treat their children,

30. Jesus
I'm sorry you had such a fuck up as a father. I'm happy to say that our autistic son has very loving parents.

Wow, I didn't know that about the carpet. Geez. I'm not surprised though, as I have done the research about autism and boy, is it a slippery slope. There is so much about this issue that is environmental. Yes, there is a genetic component but it's a perfect storm of fuckeduppedness.

12. Good Riddance!
I emailed my local radio station and suggested they replace him, but I doubt that will happen. Glad to see some stations are removing him although Lars Larson isn't much of an improvement.

15. A new fairness doctrine would speed this process up
When the public gets a taste of what these right wing gas bags are spewing everyday, the are forced off the air.

16. If you thought Michael Savage Weiner was bad, wait until you hear Lars Larson
Lard has quite a reputation in the Northwest.

You'll learn the subtler techniques of Jim Crowism us whiteys have used out here since, I don't know, maybe Lewis & Clark and the Corps of Discovery, instead of the more in-your-face Weiner.

In other words, he's a nicer racist.

It's like substituting Popeye's for Col. Sanders. Nobody wins, and you just get fatter.

25. Telling a gay guy to get AIDS and choke on a sausage?
Barely a peep.

Well, at least he finally crossed whatever line needed to be crossed in order for his hate message to be checked.

32. Well, I'm of two minds about this.
Of course the Savage Weiner should have been kicked off, he should never have had a national radio show if the nation wasn't full of hate filled psychopaths. It's actually kind of amazing that after all the horrific things he said, this is what takes him down. As if he wasn't serious about all the other stuff?

But then, he was so over the top that he turned off most moderates. He was an easy target. Now, they're getting a nicer, smoother psychopath. He says the same essential things, just more thoughtfully. This is probably more dangerous.

Larson is without doubt one THE DUMBEST (and dullest) radio hosts on the air.

Seems this GOOP shill company is still the biggest home to this scumbag. If he loses Salem, the next station he works at will say "Exxon".
