The
Compassionate Conservative
"I guess people love my show because of my hard edge
combined with humor and education," he says.
"Those who
listen to me say they hear a bit
of Plato, Henry Miller,
Jack Kerouac, Moses, Jesus
and Frankenstein. I pull from
many of my life
experiences, including that of father, son,
husband,
brother, ice cream factory worker, busboy,
lifeguard,
writer, scientist, and my huge library of books.
"
Listeners also hear top-flight guests and, in keeping with
the fact that talk hosts attract the audience they
deserve,
listeners hear literate callers with
intelligence, wit, and
energy.
An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits
no stereo-type. He attacks big government and liberal
media
bias, but champions the environment and
animal rights.
Trained as a scientist, he holds
Master's degrees in medical
botany and medical
anthropology and earned his Ph.D.
from the University
of California at Berkeley in
Epidemiology and
Nutrition Science. Along with his book
The Savage
Nation and CD Best of The Savage Nation,
he is
author of the book Herbs That Heal and 17 other
books.
Savage is threatening to sue Texas Gov. George W. Bush
for
use of the "Compassionate Conservative" label Savage
began using in 1994 and marketing with the first
of four
hugely successful Bay Area conventions
bearing that name
in 1995. Savage has consistently
drawn sold-out audiences to
hear him live. For
Savage, these words describe a "firewall
of
balance" that limits how far to the right his opinions go.
The word Compassion means "with feeling," and that's
the
magnetic attraction Michael Savage has proven
he has.
For the past two years Talkers
Magazine
named Savage as one
of America's top talk radio
hosts.
He knows how to explore issues,
entertain,
and stimulate.
