Michael Savage and Brian Maloney try to tag team Media Matters and lose!

Michael Savage is another of these D-list conservative talk show hosts who aspire to the level of a Sean Hannity or a Rush Limbaugh or a Bill O'Reilly.  Unfortunately, the level they aspire to is 4 levels below sanity, which is still at least 3 levels above them!!!

Savage demonstrated that twice this week, in spades!  On May 20th 2008, he basically mocked Ted Kennedy despite claiming he was doing otherwise.

Of course, Media Matters reported this, and then the next day, the Savage decided to fire away at Media Matters.  Too bad he forgot to bring any ammunition!!!

And then, uber-conservative radio commentator, Brian Maloney, on his blog which he calls "The Radio Equalizer", which is about as equalised as a badly tuned radio, accepted the tag from Michael Savage to fire off at Media Matters, only he too had forgotten to load any ammunition.

It doesn't matter how many times these people try and claim that Media Matters is funded directly by George Soros, Bill O'Reilly had already undone them, on his Fox News Channel show, which showed that George Soros does not fund Media Matters directly.  The equivalent would be Bill O'Reilly giving money to an organisation, and then that organisation then decides that with the money they've fundraised, including Bill O'Reilly's, that they would fund the Media Research Center, and then Keith Olbermann coming on his MSNBC show and saying "Bill O'Reilly is directly funding the Media Research Center.  It simply would not be provable, and this George Soros directly funding Media Matters claim isn't provable.

It doesn't matter if you tell a lie once, twice, ten times, a thousand times or a million times, a lie is a lie is a lie!

But back to Michael Savage, whose mocking of Ted Kennedy not only overstepped lines of taste and decency, but pushed him down another 10 levels of sanity in one go.  I would not defend this guy at a sanity board hearing, even if offered $1 million.  He has little sense that now is not the time, if there ever will be another time, to discuss what conservatives feel Ted Kennedy did wrong.  That is like kicking a man when he is down, and caving his chest cavity as a result.

Perhaps Michael Savage should look at filling his cranial cavity with a few essentials.  Like rules of taste and decency.  Like rules on how to behave.  Perhaps he might even spare the time to put a few facts in there instead of the usual Republican spin-doctrination that usually seems to come out of his mouth.  I'll not hold my breath waiting... and as for you, "Maloney Baloney", you need to re-equalise.  Too much treble, not enough bass.  Too often spouting nothing more than right wing talking points.  It's time you got acquainted with some facts.  You know, facts.  Hard, strong, undeniable facts.  Not flimsy, weak, unprovable spin and propaganda.
