Radio Host Angers Parents of Autistic Children

[MaxamillianArturo]

Go Savage!!!!!!!!

[Treblaine]

Radio Host says something stupid... no big surprise here.

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

and Libtards are just using this as an excuse to try and get Michael Savage fired?

because they don't like his politics, because he speaks the plain truth about every issue and exposes perversion in our society. that is why some people don't like him. what is Sick, is people using this story, with kids as their weapon to try and destroy Mr. Savage.

THAT! IS THE SICK BEHAVIOR GOING ON HERE !

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

listen up idiots!

he's not talking about "ALL CASES OF AUTISM " you Morons!

i tell ya, these days people do not want to be confronted with the truth!

he is only stating the facts!

he defends legitimate cases of Autism you Morons!

he is just pointing out that in many cases some children are given the wrong diagnosis for family benefits and profit!

[Srhandel]

He sometimes does say some stupid things, however he does say some really interesting things also. We do have a First Amendment in the U.S.

He hasn't broached this subject since this brouhaha happened 2 years ago.

[camporomero]

This man is just uneducated thats all. He hasn't read enough about Autism. He should be blaming alot of other people but not the parents. Check out Dr Natasha Mcbride "Autism Diet' and listen to a professional explain Autism and how to heal children with appropriate care and diet

[ahoklah]

Many people only realise what parents of autistic children have to go through only when they have their own children or grand-children with Autism. Is savage an expert on autism? No! Then he should shut up.

[animeHEAT]

This got me pretty mad.I have a cousin who's very autistic.She isn't faking.

I'm not faking either.I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was 3 years old.I'm not a brat.

[Mifodiy35]

"We don't allow hatred speech in this country" Is this bitch dreaming ? How about Muslim mosques ? Those are true patriots .

[merrill976]

Freedom of speech, people! Leave Savage alone. He's allowed by law to express his views just as you are.

[fromwkfsmouth]

I don't listen to Michael Savage, but his commentary about autistic children (I am one of them, now an adult.) is just offensive! I'm happy to listen to good music than listening to him.

[adb024]

I agree with savage. Yankees are destroying this country.

[Mom2FourPrinting]

My son has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I designed Awareness Cards to hand out to others whether in public or to classmates. They have been invaluable!

Our son's Speech and Language Therapy is no longer covered under our Medical Insurance so the money that I make from my sales goes to paying for his Therapy.

Search Mom 2 Four Printing and Gifts.

Best wishes to all the families that love someone with Autism!!

[savedbyYeshua]

To evelyn Ain. Hate speech my backside. Go to the middle east then you will see what hate speech really is. I tell you, you don't know what hate speech is to you live through the troubles experienced in Northern Ireland. I'm sorry, but taking someones comments out of context doesn't constitute hate speech. You're turning it into something it's not.

[savedbyYeshua]

Some people just look to be offended. My son has autism and my step daughter has Aspergers. Savage is right. some people do take the p out of the benefits system and blame bad behavior on autism. What's so wrong about what he's saying. I'm Irish, maybe I'm hearing something different, or no offense, maybe America is becoming that lily-livered it can't take objective criticism anymore.

[kyscouse]

how do you know these people are "liberals"? Does it matter? I am a parent of an autistic child. I don't want all the money i can get from the government...I want my son to speak.savage needs to spend a day with some of these families and see what it's like before he opens his mouth again.

[kultorthedestroyer]

I'm glad you feel that way, because I am so tired of people taking their eyes off of the subject to put the spotlight on themselves. It doesn't matter what your political preference is all that matters is our children.

[CASSMAN777]

The reason why these people want Savage to get fired is because Savage exposed these people because these people are really liars and they want all the money they can get from the government.

Motice how this woman says what Savage said was hate speech. Understand there's nothing hatfult about what Savage said, liberals just lable anything as hate speech that they don't agree on. Its one of the many ways these fascists suppress oposition.

[Mrsmaxwellsmart]

Catherine Lord (Autism Specialist) said this.

"Any tendency to blame the children or to think they're just being bratty if they misbehave perpetuates the myth that autism isn't a learning disability," she said. "It's a neurobiological condition, just like epilepsy or another medical condition like diabetes or a heart condition. It would be like blaming the child with a heart condition for not being able to exercise."

[Blaze1024]

Under the First Amendment he has a right to free speech and as consumers we have a right to not only boycott his foolish books but every single business that advertises with him and any subsidiary of them. Give them not a single penny more. Write to them and let them know you are boycotting them and starting a boycott movement in your social circle against them for their blatant support and standing firmly by the fecal matter falling out of Weiner's mouth.

[xXKarenXxOx]

totaly agree

[jezzabellesauce]

Congrats! you've have just been nominated for the "Horse's Ass" award.

[cheesem0nterswhaha]

god u must be livin in fantsy worl bucko

[xXKarenXxOx]

i'll tell you what i agree with mike savage i've met autistic people and they get away with everything and quite frankly they usually discriminate themselves

which leaves them lil loners

[jackeee1002]

I hope you never have to come in contact with an autistic child. You have no freaking clue so keep your comments to yourself. Do you have to take your child to therapy 5 times a week. Do you pray that one day your non verbal child will be able to talk to you. My child is severly autistic and he gets away with nothing. He just tries to make it in our world. A worl that is full of ignorance, your comment is a true example

[xXKarenXxOx]

well good for you your childs good as gold but the autistic people i've met have tried to grope me and called me dumb for not knowing what ammo means

[jackeee1002]

Ok you make no sense!! Don't comment about my child, you know nothing about him. You don't know much about the subject obviously. It is iggnorant people that make any child, or adult living with any kind of disability hard. Educate yourself. Look it up and see what it is.

[jezzabellesauce]

ROTFLMAO! BUT YOU ARE DUMB!

[xXKarenXxOx]

does that excuse the rape

[txfreez]

Savage/Weiner had made this same comment a couple of months ago it didnt get any attention then so he said it again.he has had a lot of time to think about the subject it wasnt a slip of his tongue thats for sure. the guy is a big fraud trying to capitallize on Limbaughs conservative movement.Weiner was a hippie back in the day, his sons middle name is "Goldencloud" for goodness sake. I guess you dont have to be a liberal to push "Rockstar" drinks

[wassaaaaaaaaaap]

All these liberals want to sugar coat reality. Listen to the full show for the Correct context. He said many times that he supports kids who are truly autistic. Parents of truly autistic kids no doubt go through a grieving process, however many are quick to accept and find "benefits" from the diagnosis. All these people want to censor Savage because his speech does not agree with them. Kind of ironic that the very people throwing around the term "hate speech" are the very ones who fling it.

[ElectricShark]

First of all, wasssaaap. You make Autism people sound like freaks. We go through a grieving process? You make it sound like we're dying!

I have Asperger's but I am living my life.

The reason I take issue with Savage is because he made a hasty generalization.

I take issue with a lot of his supporters because they tend to badmouth homosexuals, autistics, and other social groups just like he does.

(I am not talking about you personally when I say this. But others like xcaseyxbaby.)

[DrLove0378]

Sorry, lady. Hateful comments, while discouraged, ARE *allowed* in this country, thanks to the First Amendment. I may not agree with everything a radio personality may say, but I'll sure fight for their right to say it.

However, I do partially agree with Savage. With ever-expanding diagnostic criteria, autism spectrum disorders can indeed be overdiagnosed. A lot of doctors are "drug pimps."

As far as brats who haven't been told to cut the act out, I think that applies more to ADD/ADHD.

[EAdvocate]

It is a sad day in America when people listen to someone with no background in autism as opposed to the millions who do. Are you going to take a radio personality's word for it, when that person has no legitamate background or connection to the disorder?

[noliberalzone]

no but what he does is give the impression that if we "just" disciplined our children more then they would not have these problems.. the public already has a negative view with children with autism this just fuels that view...I wrote to the manager at the radio station .. he sent me a reply saying that is not what Savage meant.. I emailed him back and said regardless of what he meant he does not need to insult to get attention..

[Majorpwnage]

and who IS an expert at diagnosing autism when the spectrum itself is so broad? a speech pathologist is well qualified to diagnose it according to the manner in which autism is diagnosed. Maybe listen to his show and you'll here all the times he has defended those with disabilities instead of jumping all over him for a comment that may have likely been taken out context.

[noliberalzone]

do you have an autistic child??a speech path is not qualified to speak on diagnosing autism what does a speech path do??he or she determines if a child has a delay in speech not in all the areas that qualifies a child for autism.I did not take anything savage said out of context he was quite clear in his insults to children and adults with autism.. you do not insult people to get them to listen to your show .I have lost all respect for Savage..he keeps this up he sounds like Obama a liberal..

[noliberalzone]

doesn't savage claim liberalism is a disease .. if that is the case then he caught the disease...

[noliberalzone]

a neurologist is qualified ... no you are wrong a speech path is not qualified to diagnosed autism ... the manner it is diagnosed takes a team of 5 people .. the speech path only determines if the child has delays in communication.. I would not spend 5 mins listening to Savage... I did not take his insults out of context I heard them loud and clear.. he lost my respect after the insults.. that is not a way to get peoples attention to listen to you.. he was wrong...

[Majorpwnage]

90% of these tools have never heard his show aside from that one comment and are calling for his job. So much for "civil rights". What that means to people like this is "civil rights" for people they agree with and no rights for the people they disagree with. The growing Facism in this country from both sides of the political spectrum is making me sick.

[noliberalzone]

I could care less if he keeps his job .. he wanted to outrage the autism community so they would get on his show .. I would not give him 5 mins.. he supposedly had a dr on his show who worked with children with autism .. the so called dr was only speech pathologists .. hardly an expert in diagnosing autism .. the only fraud here is MICHAEL SAVAGE and he can shove his civil rights up his ass...

[BOGOTAROCKSTAR]

michael is the man leave him alone....that nigth that he was talking  about it ...........i was listening ... and let me tell u something .... if u are out there protesting ...and u did not listen to the whole thing ... u are a fool ... before u go out there and protest... listen the whole thing don't be ignorant

[noliberalzone]

I would not listen to his show I have heard enough .. my point is if he wanted to make a point you do not do it by insulting children with autism.. I could give a rats ass what else he had to say...

[Johnkim510]

we don't allow hateful speech in this country? how do you define hateful speech and who defines it?

[thewildeman2]

Look at all these people who discriminate against disabilities they know NOTHING about.

[crowpeak]

Judging from the parents it's no wonder the kids aren't right!

[cantu37]

fucking asshole!!! kick him in the balls. I cant believe America lets this kind of stupid people have such an important place on national radio

[politicalcanadian]

omg ... "LETS"... ??? I didn't realize the airwaves were all taken up and that people had to be let to have their view point voiced.

It sounds like you are suffering from Chronic Liberalism Disorder. I believe you can receive shock therapy for your condition. This condition has truly been diagnosed and it is severe.

[crowpeak]

Maybe you would like to shut him up you Nazi ass hole

[TungstenIHC]

He said 99% of the cases, not 100% of the cases. Autism is being flung around so the drug companies can make more money drugging normal kids, not just the real autistic ones.

On the radio show he said it wasn't fake but it was just misdiagnosed too much.

[blondecrane]

Michael Savage is a JERK!!

We didn't even get a real apology for our kids .

If he thinks many people are being wrongly diagnosed , then thats what he should of said .

Instead of calling them all brats and idiots .

He is trying to cover his ass .

[IIMoses740II]

blonde, he never said every single child is just a brat, nor did he say that it was a philosophical or socialiogical fact that 99% autism kids are brats; he simply used the common sarcasm that we have all used at one point with the 99%

Don't you find it odd how many "disorders" are in need of "treatment" are out there and more importantly how many people either claim to have one or others claim someone does?

It's like saying a four year old not listening to teachers/strangers have ADD

[blondecrane]

Don't you find it odd that most parents would rather DIE than hear their child is autistic .

Parents go through a grieving process when their child is diagnosed . they believe that their son or daughter will have no future .

My kid is autistic , yeah he may be a brat , but he's my brat and I love him .

Let some asshole make a remark about your kid and see how differently you view it JMO

[politicalcanadian]

After reading the comments and responses here, it is clear that most of you are suffering and I should not have been so harsh in my criticisms.

It appears many of you are afflicted by at least one, if not all of the following disorders, Caffeine Related Disorder, Expressive Writing disorder and most certainly Chronic Complaint Disorder. Perhaps even Oppositional Disorder.

Do not fear, your behavior is treatable with drugs and counseling. Psychologists are standing by.

[noliberalzone]

how about you STFU disorder.. Savage opened his mouth said the insults he has everything he has coming to him .. where is your degree?? why did you just sign up for a you tube account a few days ago?? to defend Savage?? we do not have any disorders we are disagreeing with an ignorant piece of trash like Michael Savage...

[Lttleagle]

I have seen childern that parents claim they are autistic. These childern were kicking & screaming for a toy or treat in stores. I thought those kids were just brats & still do. I have seen real autistic childern & they weren't acting out, just wanted to get away from a crowded place. With so many autistic claims, who is & who isn't anymore? So many false claims do cause doubt on a real problem. So who is a brat & who is really autistic? I'm now afraid for my unborn daughter, due in Oct.

[AngryAgain]

Savage is great - these people protesting him and asking for him to be FIRED is wrong.

Savage is attempting to call attention to corruption in the medical industry, HE'S NOT ATTACKING KIDS.

Americans are becomming more and more dumbed down with every passing day I fear.

[noliberalzone]

he is an asshole and yes he was attacking kids with autism .. the corruption in the medical industry for kids for autism?? he is a flash for you almost all insurance will not cover needed medical expenses for kids with autism.. you have not done your research either.. to get an autism diagnoses it is very involved and takes more than a checklist like savage claims.. you are full of crap if you think savage did his homework...

[antisocialist9]

savage is telling the truth there to many kids

diagnosed with autism and he is just speaking his mind, i think most Americans are assholes

now sue me!

[thewildeman2]

Autistic kids are NOT automatically put on drugs. His backpeddaling does nothing to correct his major screw up. And calling your child a moron will do nothing to teach them anything but what abuse is like. I am an advocate.

[Green1080Appel]

that bastard needs to get boldly aware of what a peace shit he's being fire him so he can get a

fucking life

[Green1080Appel]

Michael Savage you ass hole my brother is Autistic I cant believe people listen to that son of a bitch I'm so sick of that crack head

my brother is not a faker you cant fake autism

for sixteen years America needs a wake up call if anyone is stupid enough to believe this lier

[TeamCrusade]

Savage didn't say autism was not real, he said some of the time its not real. He was saying that many kids are labeled autistic so the drug companies can sell them expensive drugs.

[bgbreakdown]

Yeah. He only said it was fake 99% of the time. You think that's accurate? I KNOW it's shit. But by all means, defend this "wonderful" "christian" man! You're just like him.

[mommyfieldmouse]

He did not say 'some of the time it is not real', he said that 99% of the time it is not real.

He is a class 1 ignorant ass

[iliciaq]

You know what, I just thought about something... Really, If I dont like what he said, I dont have to listen to him. He has the right to say these things and if I dont like it, I can turn the radio to something else. I'm not a fan of his...so I will leave his back-peddlin' ass alone *L*

[BigDaddy5503]

I love Michael Savage. Most of his opinions are right on. Nobody is right on everything, and he definitely wrong about this. My daughter is autistic and I wish Michael could spend a day with me to see what autism really is. The people calling for him to be fired just do not agree with his politics. Even though his words on autism are incorrect in my opinion I hope he keeps up the great work he is doing in all other areas, and I will continue to listen to him.

[AngryAgain]

that would be cool if you could get on his show and have him do a live broadcast from your house.

[iliciaq]

wasn't what he said it was how he said it

[iliciaq]

He has free speech.. we all do. And I exercise my freedom to call him a dickhead. He has a right to his opinion and I respect that...however stupid the comments are. Autism is real as much as I wish it wasn't. I wish I knew that my son will grow up in this world talking and functioning normally...but I dont/wont know that. People that dont have autistic kids dont know what we go through and we wouldn't wish that on anyone... Autism is a fraud? (In my house, I wish it was) I live this daily.

[iliciaq]

IMO, this dickhead had a valid point. Maybe if he would have backed it with statistics and some solid evidence the bastard's argument would have sounded at least half-assed. But to just put out there that people with autistic kids are running a racket and this is bullshit is obsurd! My son has autism and believe me when I say that money and benefits are very little. He needs to get his head out of his ass and learn how to give an educated opinion and research shit before speaking his little mind

[ryeis1]

My son's teachers advised me to have him put on Ritalin. I told them that I'd rather see him digging ditches for a living rather than have him put on drugs! They looked at me like I was some sort of cruel monster. Guess what? With a little discipline, and one on one time, my son is doing fine. He is at the top of his class. God bless Michael Savage for exposing this autism fraud for what it is. Stop drugging your childreen!!!

[mommyfieldmouse]

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH ANY COMPANY THAT ADVERTISES on the Savage show

[RageMoreNow]

"WE DON'T ALLOW HATE SPEECH IN THIS COUNTRY" .. That also means we shouldn't allow "LOVE SPEECH" in this country. What a dumb broad.

[RageMoreNow]

Is there a more perfect irony than people exercising their free speech by protesting free speech?

[noliberalzone]

Michael Savage cannot back pedal and say that is not what I meant to say.. he needs to say what he means.. he is full of crap.. it is hard to get an autistic diagnosis and even harder to have them qualify for special education .. Michael Savage clearly did not do his homework on this issue.. My grandson is 13 and is autistic .. I know more about autism then Michael Savage knows in the 5 mins he ran his mouth .. he sounds like a liberal politician...not a conservative..

[politicalcanadian]

you need to listen to his entire show. you can find it at talk radio network. he is 100% correct. Do you know how drug companies work? Their share value is derived from the applications of their drugs. If their drug is approved to treat Cancer A, that is good, they recover their research costs. They then try apply to allow that drug to be used on cancers, B, C and D because it generates huge returns without the 400MMD R&D overhead.

This is now happening with statins and CHILDREN!

[noliberalzone]

what does his rude comments have to do with drug companies . If he wanted to make a point about drugs and children he did a shitty way of doing it.. I do not want to listen to his trash show.. he is 100% wrong has he raised a child with autism .. No have you? I have raise my autistic grandson for 12 years ..your point has nothing to do with his offensive, incorrect statements about children with autism..then he has the nerve to say that is not what I meant.. I don't buy his bullshit..

[politicalcanadian]

you are an ignoramus. if you are going to sit here and keep yourself in the dark ... like ... forget it, i can't believe how stupid some people are. You have been fooled like a moron by Media Matters.

I am sorry for your grandson, but Savage wasn't attacking legitimately sick kids, he was attacking the huge percent that are misdiagnosed and fraudulently diagnosed.

[noliberalzone]

I think you are the ignorant one.. you just signed up this you tube account today.. are you hired by savage to come in and here and defend what the idiot savage said ?? media matters as nothing to do with the trash that came out of Savage's mouth.. that is on savage .. if he meant something different then he should have said it differently.. he sounds like a liberal back tracking by saying tat is not what I meant.. you are full of bullshit..

[noliberalzone]

go back and tell savage if he wants to make a point to do his research before he talks about something he knows nothing about.. you think pissing parents and caregivers off is a way to get us to listen to his garbage .. try again we are alot smarter then savage gives us credit for .. he sounds like a liberal ...

[AngryAgain]

he's done plenty of research. he even had a doctor on his show today, somehow that probably won't make it's way on to youtube. Youtube is great for getting you bits and pieces of a story or bits and pieces of what someone said.

[noliberalzone]

but if he wanted to make a point why insult parents and children with autism with is asshole comments.. if you have not lived with autism you have no idea what you are talking about.. so who was this dr..was he a Scientologist also? I don't give a shit what he has done after the fact. the point remains he made rude comments that are not true about autism bottom line..

[AngryAgain]

I don't know I didn't hear the whole show 2day. I only caught the last 20 minutes, the only reason I knew there was a dr in there with him is because one of his callers and him were talking about it. The dr was on in the first hour I think. I could be wrong.

[Elmonellie]

This is the kind of response that makes me credit Savage (of whom I am not a fan). If you don't like him. Turn the channel. When you throw out the "have you raised an autistic child" comment, you've lost most of us. Why, no I haven't. I'd suggest you take care of your kids and not look for so many "accomodations". The rest of us are sick of it. If your kid can't act civilized in a class they should go to a special class. Let normal kids learn something. Oh, how unfair!

[noliberalzone]

look you stupid bitch .. he is in a special classroom so he does not take away from the rest of the students.. I hope your kids dont have the same kind of attitude this is what fuels shit to kids with autism who cannot help the way they are .. what will you kids excuse?? you the parent.. I am so sick of shitty attitudes like Savage and yours that you make it point to say nasty comments about kids that cannot help the way they are because of their autism.. go kick your dog while you are it

[2XTURBO]

he didn't intend to bash autism.

And yes we do allow hateful speech in this country Ms. Evelyn Ain, where do you think we are? Saudi Arabia? Nazi Germany? Lucky that your son wasn't born there they would have threw him in the ovens.

Isn't there more important things to spend your time on than crying over what a conservative radio talk show host said? Maybe go spend some time with your kid.

[mikeboogie25]

1. Fuck Bush in the asshole with a 12 inch black dildo with no lube. And put crazy glue on his lips so he can't scream.

2. Michael Savage is a lunatic. Fuck him too.

[xlmaclx]

"We don't allow hateful speech in this country."

Anyone who says fuck Bush should be put in jail.

[DX1011985]

He's stupid!

[ahsmike]

Just where does it say that hate speech is not allowed?

[RageMoreNow]

Seriously, I come on the internet and blast kikes, niggers, and retards all the fucking time, lmao

[TECHKLEC]

Maybe you should have your own radio show.

[RageMoreNow]

Have you heard of Hal Turner?

[TECHKLEC]

Hal Turner is a white supremist who has a podcast, I think.

[RageMoreNow]

Yeah, he's actually on tomorrow night. I recommend the listen.

[TECHKLEC]

I thought for a moment that you were going to tell me that YOU were Hal Turner!!!
