conservative talk radio starts to hate him.

So? Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage all still like him--that pretty much is conservative talk radio there.

Michael Savage probably isn't the best litmus test for conservative opinion in general, considering that he is a loathsome gasbag with the rhetorical style of an eight-year-old, and with about the same level of knowledge.

That's a little unfair on eight-year olds, isn't it?

Probably. "Eight-year-old" is perhaps closer to Rush Limbaugh.

EDIT: The plot thickens. I just read the article, and Michael Savage is actually mentioned as one of the hosts who attacked the president.

I must have missed something. His credentials sound like exactly what I'd expect in a republican talk radio presenter.

In other news Al Franken and Air America are sinking fast.

Michael Savage isn't a Republican-- even to call him a conservative doesn't accurately describe what he is. I can respectfully disagree with conservatives, but the hateful babbling that spouts from that man's mouth provides no basis upon which I can even articulate "disagreement." He told a gay caller to "get AIDS" and to "choke on a sausage." It's as if they took a seventh-grade jock and gave him a radio show.

about 80% of the conservitive radio is currently hostile twards bush, they see him as haveing abandoned there war against everything not them.

Savage has been vitriolicly opposed to Bush sence before the last election, his big issue tends to be the border, followed by the gays and the atheists, on all fronts he sees Bush as being weak, underhanded and cowardly. he is quite pissed at the republicans in general for not exploiting there governmental hegemony in pushing the conservitive agenda.
Savage, while I'll admit he can on occasion come up with a point, is the truest facist in mainstream media today.
