Michael Savage: Someone Poked the Wrong Beehive

Asperger's, autism, bullies, controversy, Michael Savage, news, support image by Linda Bucklin 

Last week I posted about Michael Savage and his idiotic comments about children with autism.  AFLAC led the way for sponsors to drop his show.  Well here’s what followed:

Sponsors who have dropped Savage:

Home Depot

Sears

Direct Buy

Cisco

Radio Shack

His show has also been terminated from radio stations in Mississippi, Virginia and Ohio.  There was a protest last Friday on Wall Street organized by Autism United whose president, Evelyn Ain, has stated they will be protesting and doing what they can to convince his sponsors to withdraw their support from his show.

Do you think Mr. Savage, if he survives this debacle, might think twice about the beehives he’s poking from now on?  Can’t say I feel sympathy for him though.

    Savage is an imbecile that gets too much press. His own dearth of conscience, by his own admission stemming from life with a “gruff and profane” father, pushes him into situations like this. Thumbs down, way down.

    Sadly there are many morons with megaphones out there today (q.v. Leykis, Stern, et.al.)
