Michael Savage: Veterans Who Suffer From PTSD Are A Bunch Of Wussies
On Michael Savage’s radio show last week, he argued with a caller over whether California lawmakers should rename a San Francisco tunnel in honor of Robin Williams. Savage objected, and the caller, who suffers rom post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), defended the move.
Then the radio host attacked the veteran saying, “I am so sick and tired with everyone with their complaints about PTSD, depression. Everyone wants their hand held and a check, a government check. What, are you the only generation that had PTSD? The only generation that’s depressed?”
Savage went on to blame America’s problems on those who “cry like a little baby” over depression. “If the whole nation is told, ‘boo-hoo-hoo, come and get a medication, come and get treatment, talk about mental illness,’ you know what you wind up with?,” he asked. “You wind up with Obama in the White House and lawyers in every phase of the government, that’s what you wind up with. It’s a weak, sick nation. A weak, sick, broken nation.”
Savage went on to call veterans who are suffering from PTSD a “bunch of losers” and said, “You need men like me to save the country.”
“You need men to stand up and say stop crying like a baby over everything.” He continued to say, “no wonder ISIS can defeat our military.”

See,
Eventually they get around to telling
us how they REALLY feel, don’t they?
O! they LuV them some Veterans when
they’re using them as a prop. Ya know,
like when they took down the barriers
to the WWII Memorial. Waving all those
little flags. Then when the cameras are
gone, they promptly vote to SLASH their
benefits. O! and they also LuV to create
MORE Veterans because they also never
met a WAR they didn’t LuV!!
Larry Schmitt October 21st, 2014 at 19:03
But they love it from a distance.

As long as they themselves aren’t personally involved.

In July 2008, Savage claimed that the increasing rate of autism diagnoses was the result of “a racket” designed to get disability payments for “poorer families who have found a new way to be parasites on the government.” He returned to the subject on his July 16, 2008, show with the following remarks:
Now, the illness du jour is autism. You know what autism is? I’ll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out. That’s what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they’re silent? They don’t have a father around to tell them, “Don’t act like a moron. You’ll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don’t sit there crying and screaming, idiot.”
And now he is picking on our Veterans, this guy has no shame.

What makes this asshole an expert on anything? It’s easy to talk when you don’t have to show proof of your idiotic statements. Fox is proof of that.

I wish there were taxes on “talks,” then all of these idiots would have shut their mouths.

No they’d move the stations to Cayman Islands, and avoid the taxes.

Speaking of AM radio–Rush is starting to slide. He’s being demoted from the big 50,000 watt super stations to the 5,000 watt local stations. I can hardly wait until he’s on some obscure internet channel. Maybe the Sarah Palin channel will pick him up…(hee hee)

If true, America’s collective IQ is going up a few points. Okay, 0.01 points in the case of RW zealots.
M D Reese October 25th, 2014 at 17:26
True that–you have to HAVE an IQ for it to go up. I think that exposure to people like Rush has a permanent affect though. It makes their minds completely resistant to facts and truth and reality.

And they would open up offshore bank accounts for their money.

I found a use for philosophy: teaching perspective. The problem with philosophy is that too many get wrapped up in it among all the perspectives and actually choose one to belief as if that perspective were the end-all, be-all of explanations for human motivation.

It’s easy for cowards to trash veterans and autistic children from the safety of his radio booth. After all, he didn’t serve in the military and he doesn’t know anyone with autism, so it’s okay to be a idiot with no shame.

I guess then that the answer is if you are not being supported by your government as an employee such as a soldier, then you should not work for that government.

My suspicion is that most won’t care what he says, just blame the President and all is good.

“Support our troops” apparently just means “support our military industrial complex, and fuck the victims it churns out.”
forpeace October 21st, 2014 at 19:35
Just to know what a disgusting person this man is:
Michael Savage explained in an interview that the U.S has sunk to the level of the Soviet Union in the 1950s, where government-controlled science and a government-controlled press were a way of life. “There are no more independent voices that we know are in medicine or science anymore,” the conservative radio jerk told Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow on Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius XM Patriot, channel 125. Marlow introduced Savage as being on the front lines, along with the Drudge Report and Breitbart News, in alerting the nation about the threat of Ebola at home.
Savage came out swinging in the interview, stating that he holds Obama responsible for intensifying the Enterovirus D-68 epidemic in the U.S. with “his unaccompanied minors from Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, where the virus is endemic.” Now that American children are getting D-68, which Savage referred to as a mystery virus, “Not a public health official in the entire nation will even ask the question: could it be related to them,” he says.
If there was a “government-controlled press” then this Savage guy wouldn’t have been allowed to express his ignorance 24/7. I hope he packs his bags and moves to Russia, so he can enjoy his “freedom of Ignorance” next to Putin.

Well, he would be right if he was talking about torture, imprisonment of activists and whistleblowers and spying on its citizens but I suspect Savage believes those are Okey-Dokey.

Michael Savage trying to channel Patton and fails…He doesn’t have the intelligence or balls and he lacks the reality testing.
Proving once again, Michael Savage is an idiot.

I would love to see him say this at my local VA, I will pick his ass up, drive him, take him out for his last meal and serve him to “wussie” veterans. I want hold my breath for a response.

In Savages defense, he really doesn’t understand PTSD because HE NEVER SERVED, that miserable bag o’ puke. He and Ted Nugent are the two biggest turds on the planet and are an embarrassment to the human race.

He is way to short for military service in the first place. He either used or could have used educational deferments, much like ‘tricky Dick’ Cheney did.
The mental midget part matches his physical stature.
