I'm no idiot. No, really...I'm not. I understand the role of a "radio shock jock" and how they make stupid statements just for publicity. How they rant for ratings. I get it. But it's one thing to attack someone like the Kennedys or Paris Hilton or even a minority group that can speak out and defend themselves and quite another to attack a group of people who cannot speak up for themselves.
Last week Michael Savage did just that. His attack on autistic children was nothing less than the most ignorant type of hate speech I've ever heard. If Don Imus can get fired for calling a group of basketball players, "Nappy-headed hos" then it's time for Michael to pick up his last paycheck and go home.
Let's listen in, shall we?
