Headzup: Michael Savage Says Autism Is A Fraud

[TheAdchix]

He should have been fired for his remarks on autism. EFF-ing moron.

[mac19971]

THIS IS STRAIGHT FRESH OUT OF THE TRASH. I GUARANTEE THIS.

[tonyg0123]

Listen to the whole monologue where Savage talks about autism. This is the problem, liberals take everything out of context and try to exploit it. Savage was talking about how American children are given massive amounts of drugs these days and fed Mcdonalds. Which is completely killing our youth and the future of this country. Savage has a PHD from Berkely in epidemiology. He just might know what he is talking about, but that doesn't stop a liberal clown from trying to exploit the situation.

[WhatsAYak]

@tonyg0123 - What's to take out of context from this rant? He said that 99% of cases were fake, and while I agree that some children are wrongfully diagnosed, I don't see any context which could qualify such a brazen statement.

[tonyg0123]

@WhatsAYak Savage always speaks hyperbolly to make a point, that's just his style. He even goes on to explain what he meant when Glenn Beck was interviewing him. He is outspoken and for the people who never listen to his show and hear this one line are not understanding the context. He was talking on a broader substance. He always rails on our drugged up and poorly fed nation. And yes, autism is a serious problem that should be addressed. I agree with Savage 100% on this issue.

[MrAmerica406]

michael savge you are a fraud go back to the desert with the jews

[michweinersuckmydick]

michael savge suck my dick

[ObamaBiden20082012]

In other news, Bill Maher believes vaccines are a Fraud.

[Bighairyfart]

he does realise that aspergers is very different to crying and screaming right, hes an idiot, he calls autism ats its extreme the dumb smuck and calls the symptoms idiotic, what a class a parasite

[stephenville100]

suck my dick weiner

[salguero18]

that is so fanny

[TheMrkilljews]

Michael Savage is a ignorant....he said 99 percent of the cases of autism were fake.....FUCK YOU BITCH, I DO KNOW PEOPLE WITH THE PROBLEMS AND IS NOT FAKE.....WHO KNOWS MORE SAVAGE OR DOCTORS?......FOR HIS STUPID COMMENTS HE SHOULD BE SHOT.....WHO LISTEN TO SOMEONE WHO GIVES NEWS BASE ON HIS IMAGINATION RATHER THAN FACTS? ARE JUST IDIOTS JUST LIKE HIM

[MrFordDoesNotLikeU]

@TheMrkilljews Autism is fake, he's proving a point.

[IHABC8]

I have a type of Autism. So no, he's a pussy.

[ffairlane57]

It would be more effective to do investigative reporting on actual examples of of misdiagnosed autism instead of venting out like a crabby old man....but Savage's audience would rather hear him vent out like a crabby old man than find out the real story.

[centerM87]

Duuumb!

[Lightf00t1]

Wake up you idiots and stop judging a man based on the sound bites the lamestream media feed you. Listen to the guy's shows and make an objective decision, instead of running around like headless chickens - because that's what Jacqui Smith, the home secretary, is counting on.

Savage is fighting for YOUR freedom too.

[ffairlane57]

So I should listen to Savage instead of the mainstream media?

All I want is the news, and I'll formulate my own opinion. I don't need a loudmouth to tell me what i should think.

[Lightf00t1]

Well you don't sound like you're too willing to consider other points of view. But Michael Savage is an idiot, right? No credentials at all, right? Ritalin's good, right? Prozac is awesome, right?

Good God.

[ffairlane57]

Who said that?

[badtown88]

I for one don't judge Savage by soundbites, I listen to his show from time to time. Don't claim he was taken out of context, because that's a load of b.s. The man has a PHD in food, not in health, so I fail to understand where his credibility comes from.

[Lightf00t1]

OMG! People like you are idiotic beyond belief. If you don't agree with what someone says, no matter how commonsensical it is, you attack their qualifications. That's like saying a physicist who creates a convincing argument against the theory of man-made climate change hasn't credibility because his degree isn't in "climatology". Oh dear, what a silly person you are.

[badtown88]

Name calling: the true mark of an ignorant person. Congrats on not making any valid points. Fuck off, you dumb faggot.

[Lightf00t1]

No, I didn't make a completely relevant and valid point at all. Is the irony of your last comment lost on you? lol

[Lightf00t1]

He never said autism's a fraud, he said many children who are diagnosed with having autism are frauds. He's against the profiteering pharmaceutical companies capitalizing on the unscrupulous people in the medical community handing out prescriptions like sweeties.

[psychodan16]

i am angered for him saying autism is a fraud he should take a hike.

[MSavage59]

Headzup should make a video with Mike Francesa

[Kumari58787]

Michael Savage is the type of guy that makes Americans look stupid.

[AryanRule1488]

The only autistic,mentally handi-capped retards are the fucking Jews! I mean if

you look at the Talmud and read up on

30 year olds having sex with infants,

and making it a law for the male that

fucked the infant, to immediatley marry

her, only somebody with an IQ of 40 would

wanna take part in that and promote that

kind of law and culture world wide. I'll

send every single kike, on a short bus straight to Hell!

[xxxbernadinexxx]

you faggot

[ffairlane57]

AryanRule1488, let me know if you want to go at it. I'd be more than delighted to take you and your faggot friends.

[CyanProductions]

As I said before. Michael Savage can be a hot head. However I would agree that autism,m is over diagnosed.

[ffairlane57]

Everything is over diagnosed, why single out autism? If people are going to game the system, they'll find a way no matter what. Why single out autism specifically?

[CyanProductions]

Because he believes that's more over diagnosed then anything else.

Doesn't really matter anyway, if you don't hear both conservative and Liberal views you are a tool. I personally listen to Michael Savage because he seems to know what he's talking about. Not like "The Golfer" as he passionately calls Limbaugh. People in general piss me off. But parents who believe their kids are above average when they are not piss me off more then anyone else. So I agree that alot autistic kids are just stupid

[ffairlane57]

I think I'd listen to or watch some investigative reporting to find some examples of parents misusing the autism card rather than listen to some whiny loudmouth like Savage tell me so.

[CyanProductions]

I rather see some investigative reports about Obama rather then hear everyone worship him going "Thank you so much for taking time out of your day!" But yet every time I turn on the news that's all I hear.

Honestly he is a commentator. I enjoy his stories and he is a smart political man. So I use both news sources to form my opinion.

[J8g1]

Mein Kampf? ... but he's Jewish, why would he read that?

[mrbadguysan]

I could believe it.

[skycomet19]

Lol! Savage is a freakin moron who has no idea what he's talking about!

[WatermanPictures]

Let us all try to get to know what Autism is. When we find out, it will scare us, because we will have found out, how ignorant we all have been. Parents of children with Autism have a very hard life. They try to intervene with occupational, speech, behavioral therapy, etc. Bills, headache, indifference. The biggest problem: No help from others. Such as Savage. Or simply put: People who do not try to learn about Autism. Get to know Autism. Help.

[dudeman1109]

Cheaptrick are you implying that savage should be held responsible for his listeners actions? Thats what it sounds like. Who gives a shit what them people say, get over it. They are dumb asses, and they will eventually get what they deserve. And I dont give a shit what Jim Carrey or Jenny Mcarthy think cause they dont give a shit about what I think. Get out of their lives and stay in your own

[kultorthedestroyer]

I don't think Ms should be held accountable for his listeners thoughts and actions, any more than Hitler be held accountable for his listeners thoughts and actions.

[Cheaptrick82]

Is there any Savage listener who ISN'T demented?! Really--it's like trying to reason with a pack of rabid dogs! BTW, I'm sure Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey (along with Spears) are going to be impressed when they hear that one of Savage's listeners said that he would "cap her kid for free!"--and another enthusiastically agreed!! Maybe they'll donate their entire $50,000 check (for their kid being autistic--according to Savage) to Media Matters now, or even MORE!!! to get rid of the Savage(s)

[BbdHome]

Yeah, can't one of these savage supporters come out and say, "love you Savage, but I think you're wrong on this one"?

Says a lot about this audience. savage SHIT himself when another media outlet quoted him on this, but he was comfortable saying it to his regular audience as he knows how dumbed down they are.

He also shit himself when a bunch of mislims quoted him once. And in the defence of free speech he hired some New York lawyers and attempted to sue them for it. Fail of course.

[SoCalstylez858]

He used New York lawyers??? I always thought he hated them.

[chmarie12]

Savage is an idiot, everyone knows that, for him to come out and make assertions that he knows nothing about, and he doesn't even quote any STATS, He's just a moron, it's that simple.

[xXKarenXxOx]

savage is no idiot in fact he's probably one of the cleverest people involved in this hole

situation and brave enough to say what he thinks bowt the lil creeps

[xXKarenXxOx]

i'm sorry but autistic people are selfish lil loners who only care bowt themselves

i've met some and they wern't very nice to me

retards

[thewildeman2]

If you knew anything about autism, you might realize that they have a hard time socializing, probably weren't doing what they were doing on purpose. Autistic's aren't retarded. Learn about them and the disorder, gain some new insight instead of supplying discrimination and stigma. What if people talked about you like that?

[xXKarenXxOx]

i don't need to know anything bowt autism omg can't the freaks just get normal

[thewildeman2]

No, it is a condition in the brain and that runs pretty much the whole body. Of course, if you talk to them like you do here, I can't really blame them for not liking your attitude. You claim to be 28 but talk like a shallow 14 year old valley girl. Find some maturity.

[xXKarenXxOx]

piss off retard

[thewildeman2]

Nope, you still haven't found it, but I digress, piss off yourself.

[lenniesam]

oooohhh big words!! remember what comes around goes around.

[xXKarenXxOx]

yeah :L

[SamanthaaTube]

xXKarenXxOx - I don't even think I would be nice to such an ugly person like yourself.

You talk out your asssssssssssssss and you need education.

[xXKarenXxOx]

don't call me ugly bitch

[SamanthaaTube]

Your attitude and rude remarks are ugly.

[SamanthaaTube]

xXKaranXxOx - I see that your all for Britney Spears and support her for all she is doing? Well did you know that Britney has come out and has said her youngest son shows some signs of being Autistic and that she supports the Autism Awareness and wants to be a spokeswoman for Autistic issues? You do know that your idol wouldn't agree with your negative remarks?

[Tremordeth]

ugly

[NINNOOB]

who ever made this needs a life. get a job. im tired of paying for you're internet access

[EAdvocate]

Actually, almost all of those who have signed the petition to fire him are relatives of children with autism. They know exactly how wrong Savage is by experience. Do you?

[wmbrown6]

These autism groups you cite are certified, unwitting dupes and shock troops for the REAL power behind this campaign - the far-left, Soros-funded, Clinton-connected Media Matters group, which is using any and every excuse and pretext to justify their Soviet-style campaign of purging the airwaves of ALL conservative voices in the media (not just Savage), whom MM and their ilk see as THE impediment to Barack Obama being elected President.

[EAdvocate]

Most of the outrage has come from parents of children with autism. Autism is as prevelent on the right as on the left. Autism is not political, it is a real disorder. The other hole in your commentary is that Savage does not like McCain either, so how would silencing him help Obama. Lastly, I called Media Matters and they are not taking a stance on Savage's firing. Call them. I also listened to Savages whole show, and he never mentions that autism is real. He makes a case that it is not.

[wmbrown6]

Media Matters would tell you that. Of course they are taking a stance. They want ALL conservative talkers off the air - PERIOD. In Savage's case, they're using autism groups and parents of autistic children as tools for their own nefarious aims. And notice - vulnerable people being taken advantage of by WHITE LIBERALS who really couldn't care less about them.

[Cheaptrick82]

Checked his website...along with his "apology", he calls for the U.S. to follow the U.K's lead and NOT screen toddlers for autism. Apparently, his answer to an obvious and growing problem is to pretend that it doesn't exist!--or that people afflicted with ANY malady of ANY kind are faking it! WOW! I'm glad this guy is not the head of the CDC (Center for Disease Control)!!!

[CheeezMaster]

i wonder if autism occurred with natural living peoples. or dementia.

or if they contracted 70 kinds of cancer...

[OsamaBeenFartin]

Every couple of months or so, Savage opens his big mouth and says something stupid. Then, when his sponsors start dropping, or the national media picks up on it, it's always "Oh, they took me out of context." Then he'll start begging his listeners for money to support his "legal defence fund"!

[wmbrown6]

Don't tell me you actually support CAIR's or Media Matters' campaign to silence him, now. This "legal defense fund" is SOLELY for his efforts to fight these far-left groups, which have unlimited funds thanks to George Soros (for Media Matters) and the Saudis (for CAIR).

[kassandrasduplex]

Michael Weiner is a good example of the stereotype of Jewish anger. He is hate-filled and comes from a family with a history of mental illness (his brother he admits died in a mental institution). Why this monster has a radio show while other great, moderate or progressive Jewish voices NOT filled with hate do not have one says something about the myth of the liberal media.

[kultorthedestroyer]

Misdiagnosing how do you know what is misdiagnosed? Are you a doctor, psychologist, or other medical pro. that can distoguish real from fake? If so you probably have the caure and cause for autism. His comments are riddiculus and his defense is even worse.

[Orator76]

BTW, the comment I agreed with was from 'wmbrown6'.

[Treffell]

i think savage is one of those flakey arty types that can entertain. His first sentence before what is being repeated was "my opinion about autism since i am NOT talking about autism"

He should realize he is talking to people that are not as intelligent- an error.

but still it was a funny video - thanks

[FriscoF7]

Michael Savage is a LOSER!!!! HE does not know what the hell he is talking about. Most doctors are just learning about what autism is. They don't diagnose it. If they do they say the kid has PDD NOS . This is far from the same problems that come up with ADD. He needs to get informed before he shoots his flappy trap off and misinforms the public.

[3e3op88]

Savage didn't attack legitimately autistic people. If you morons had listened to the entire broadcast, you would have heard him say that he's not talking about the approx. 1% of kids who really are autistic (actually, it's less than 1% according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders). He's attacking those that have created an autism industry--big pharma and doctors who are too quick to jump to the diagnosis of autism.

[crazytvfan815]

No, I did listen to the tyrade, and he said that 99% of them are faking it. Not that 99% of all kids don't have it. For his claim to be true, every kid in America would have to fake Autism. Besides, if he has a point to make, make it without belittling on such a broad scope.

[wmbrown6]

Exactly. And I can guarantee you Big Pharma' is among those lining up with CAIR, Media Matters, the Democrats in Congress and other vested interests to work to silence Dr. Savage.

[littleozzyboy]

michelle savage missed his calling as a woman

[SmashTheRight38]

On what basis do you say he is a good man?what a good man say what he said about Autistic children? What a good man consistently say rude things to caller and other vile crap to people? He is obviously not a good man but vile SOB who say anything to get ratings.

[duck7759]

... ive always wondered if savage really is right wing or just an extreme leftist trying to fuck over the right wing party... just a thought nothing more

[Tmetrvlr]

Michael Savage probably plays "Duelling Banjos" on his.....

[saggybelly]

just go away you silly man and stop trying to create controversy by attacking disabled people

[wmbrown6]

You're better off telling that to Howard Stern. HE REALLY attacked disabled people - by mocking, ridiculing and denigrating them. And if you think what Stern did is justified, you're a greater moron than I feared, not to mention yet another Media Matters troll.

[Orator76]

I second that comment! Are we that blind to equate Savage, an authour of several books dedicated to nutrition and healing children through homeopathic remedies, to the likes of "Bird brain" Stern who openly mocks and ridicules disable children? People, wake up! Savage is sharing valuable info with us daily. Big Pharma is the biggest & legal drug cartel in the US! And your Doctors are the drug dealers, misdiagnosing and overmedicating us straight to the grave.

[whitewave1027]

By the way this video is HILARIOUS!!

[saggybelly]

what a repulsive man

[runfreak19]

no,no. Savage loves the child. he was a social worker where he rescued abused children. do you really think somebody would come out and make fun of disabled children? He was clearly making a satirical statement to drug companies who seem to take advantage of a broader diagnosis of autism. these corrupt companies also make money off a broader diagnosis of ADD. He is attacking not the child, but those who want to take advantage of children. he is only looking out for the american child

[whitewave1027]

Savage loves "the child"?? Which child id that? Clearly not my child, whom he thinks I should call a moron and tell him to stop acting like a putz. Yes I REALLY think he came out and "made fun" (to put it VERY lightly) of disabled children. Not to mention the fact that he advocated abusing them as well. I actucally agree with Savage about drug companies (it's about the only think I do agree with him about). Believe me...this has nothing to do with drugs, and he is not "looking out" for children.

[spewker]

Savage is basically a good man who thinks and says what he really believes. Pretty impressive that he found an audience, considering her doesn't play to the middle. You've got to give him credit for that.

[Whoo69]

The far right loves to substitute ideology for real science and facts. Think about it: gay marriage, abortion, gay adoption, and now Michael Savage with his bullshit about autism being all a fraud. Yeah, right. I'm sure all those millions of scientists who agree that autism exists are just a bunch of dummies, and thank god for savage for telling us all the truth. Now we can end autism. Get a clue, Michael.

Savage is like the whiny kid in school who did anything for attention.

[gymer15]

what a savage beast

[PirateoftheTouYube]

look up chickenhawk, a person who ducked military service and now is a war hawk.

[wmbrown6]

Notice how many of these so-called "anti-war" demonstrators themselves, especially the younger ones, never served so much as a day in the military - they should talk about "chicken hawks."

[hypnofan35]

What's this another repulican vying for the sack of the year trophy.

[AiresQX4]

Savage is such an ASSHOLE!! God I can't stand that guy!

[OmarAlQaseer]

"Savage is a good man with nothing but good intentions." - I'm having trouble determining whether this is supposed to be sarcastic or ironic.

[xexkxex]

It does not matter.

...when it comes out of the internet, or more importantly, a comment section under a you tube video....it does not matter.

[blair227]

The hero of the Hitler youth.

[airborne373]

Savage is another fake conservative neocon chickenhawk.

Do some research and you will find that Savage is a liberal beatnik from the 60's.

[wmbrown6]

You'll find that "chickenhawk" is a HOMOSEXUAL SLUR. In terms of his views, Dr. Savage has "come around." You obviously have no tolerance for any opinions differing from the uber-liberal BS with which you've clearly been brainwashed. Stop getting your talking points from those radical homo-fascists in "Media Matters."

[wmbrown6]

And here's exactly what I mean: "Chickenhawk" is a code word within the gay community for "older men who prefer younger men" - that is, chickens.

[airborne373]

wmbrown6 - I don't know what kind of circles you travel in but, "chickenhawk" in this day and age means someone who chose not to wear the uniform when it was their time and at 40,50,60 want to be tough guys and send other young people to die.

[wmbrown6]

I certainly know what "circles" YOU are traveling in - the anti-American, anti-military, anti-family, anti-police liberal fascist cabal. The same talking points from the subversive ANSWER / World Can't Wait crowd.

Moreover, Savage knows what he's talking about on this issue - having once had a brother who was retarded, and seeing first-hand the mostly negative consequences of similar misdiagnoses by the medical-pharmaceutical establishment on society.

[wmbrown6]

Savage has compassion for the TRULY helpless in our society - and is genuinely outraged over a medical-pharmaceutical establishment that is seeking to use the "autistic" label to fatten their own profits.

Where was the outrage from the Media Matters crowd for Howard Stern's ridiculing of handicapped people during his years on terrestrial radio?

[airborne373]

wmbrown6- Take a look at my user name genius. I am an Army Veteran.

You however are clearly just another loud mouth liberal chickenhawk. Savage is not a conservative anyone who follows his politics is not a conservative.

[wmbrown6]

John Kerry and Jack Murtha were also "veterans" - and look what good it did THEM! Just ask the many fighting men who were viciously slandered and dragged into the mud by these two. Can anyone say "Benedict Arnold" (himself a onetime war hero during the Revolutionary War, before his name became forever synonymous with treason)?

[SmashTheRight38]

Do you know WTF a chickenhawk means you idiot? It means someone who obnoxiously calls for military action (thats usually NOT liberals doing that) while avoiding it when they had the opportunity to engage in military action. The classic example of that is John Wayne. After that we have people like Rush limbaugh and Dick Cheney and so on. BTW just because someone titles their handle a certain way to imply they are something on the internet does not mean they are in fact that something.

[dafilthymofo]

Savage uses exaggeration and sarcasm to make points. People are taking the 99 percent number way out of context. Savage is a good man with nothing but good intentions. He is also very intelligent and well educated. People are attacking him because they disagree with his politics and are out to get him any way they can so they twist his words and use them against him. This is something children do in high school. It is childish and immature.

[wmbrown6]

Compare and contrast with "Media Matters," which is: a) a far-left smear group run by gay men who HAVE HAD NO CHILDREN, and b) financed by radical megalomanic billionaire George Soros through one of his many shadow groups.

Those who think Savage is so horrible don't seem to have had any problem with Howard Stern's past ridiculing and mocking of handicapped people, in all his years on terrestrial radio - because they agree with Stern's leftist politics.

[RevoVansen]

and remember folks, slap your kid and tell'em to be a man...absolute genius

Now this guy is ONE pathetic asshole, He should go back to that hotdog eating contest in his city.

You have Michael Savage on political issues, but let his death threat on Mark Dice go unmentioned and I'm just wondering why.

[kastolp]

What a dick. He has no idea what he's talking about.
