Summary: Savage is great on the radio, but he can't write
Review: I love listening to Mike on the radio, but I have to tell you, he can't write. You are better off just tuning into to his show. He's funny on the air, but on paper it doesn't really work.

Summary: Vitriolic Entertainment
Review: Like the talk show, this book is entertaining in an over-the-top way. Savage has some good points, but his message is mostly lost in his fixation on blaming the mythic "LEFT" for all of our problems. The left-right dichotomy is largely a media creation to breathlessly push the horse-race mentality of modern american politics. In truth, the "RIGHT" tend to vote and act in precisely the same socialist, activist government manner as the "LEFT": The "RIGHT" just CLAIM to not believe in these things. I believe that Savage is a closet libertarian, who relies on the mythical, monstrous "LEFT" to provide entertainment value to his not-always-so-bright fans. Savage should give his audience some credit for their intelligence, and promote a more fruitful discussion of the issues, and the possibility of returning this nation to the original Constitutional form of government under which it was founded.

Summary: The State Of The Nation, by Michael Savage
Review: If you enjoyed "The State Of The Nation" by Michael Moore (actually, "Stupid White Men..."), you'll enjoy "The State Of The Nation" by Michael Savage (actually, "The Savage Nation"), if, IF you are part of the broad middle of the USA's political spectrum, like I am. I did. And, I also enjoyed putting our country's principles back into perspective (and so should the entire political spectrum of my fellow Americans) by reading "West Point: Character Leadership Education, A Book Developed From Thomas Jefferson's Own Readings And Writings" by Norman Thomas Remick (actually, West Point used as a metaphor for the USA).
Rating:
Summary: Not really a book
Review: I expected more from this book because it has been on the best seller's list, and really, this is not a real book, but rather is "talk radio" in print. It is not well organized; it lacks an index, and espouses opinions (that's okay) but offers little or no support for them except the author's likes and dislikes. "You pays your money and makes your choice..." I'm sorry I bought this.

Summary: EXPOSES THE LEFT AND THEIR INTENTIONS.
Review: You will see many other reviewers calling him an Nazi and a Jew which exposes the virulent hatred and racism of the "compassionate liberal" mind. Only the truth exposes such hatred. This book exposes the tactics of such hate groups such as the ACLU and the Democratic Party and their belief that Osama bin Laden is more preferable than President Bush. Michael Savage has a unique talent for bringing to light the true intentions of the do gooders on the left such as their belief that animals have more value than children. Michael does this in an entertaining style. Some on the left just have misguided intentions and others like Hitlery Clinton and Barbara "The Baby Butcher" Boxer actully know the damage they are causing to this country and do it anyway. This book shows you how they are doing it.

Summary: How the Democrat Party has fallen
Review: How far has the democrat party fallen since the death of JFK? We went from FDR, Truman and Kennedy to Johnson, Carter and Clinton.
Savage is here every weekday, for three hours, blasting the crazy socialist wing of the democratic party. In the past century we have defeated National Socialism and Soviet Socialism--the two most deadly and genocidal regimes to plague the world in hundreds of years. We must prevent a similar disaster in the United States. That's what Savage is about.No 5 star rating because the book is too short.

Summary: thank you
Review: Thanks for a wonderful book Mr. Savage. I am an avid listener at my place of work. This book is a must read, in the tradition of Thomas Paines 'Common Sense' it shoots an arraw across the liberal bow of the ship of demonic propoganda and irrational protest that has taken over what was once a rational and honest left in America.
Rating:
Summary: Pointless
Review: A failed salesman tries his hand at political commentary. Using namecalling and innuendo, he tries to explain how liberals are as bad as the Taliban. He fails to provide any reasons to believe in his points, but is really good at the name-calling thing. This kind of book just polarized people, so I wonder what it really accomplishes? It will convince the converted, and offend those it is meant to.

Summary: A new eye to liberalism...and what is it seeing?
Review: "...By far the most important predecessor of [Pat] Robertson as politically influential purveyor of...conspiracy theory in the twentieth century United States was Father Coughlin (1891-1979) who like Robertson combined the offices of Christian cleric and political agitator. Largely forgotten today, this 'radio priest' of the 1930's pioneered both the electronic evangelism of Pat Robertson and the talk-radio conservatism of Rush Limbaugh..." "Most societies have some version of the Golden Age myth. (The term itself comes from the ancient Greek poet and moral philosopher Hesiod...) Once, it is said, there was a time when disorder and sin were nonexistent...children respected their elders; husbands and wives were faithful to each other...popular literature was highly intellecual, and tended to promote good character... "...in recent years the intellectuals and publicists of the American Right, drawing on both Jefferson-Jackson populism and Marxism, have developed a unique synthesis of the Golden Age and devil myths. The Golden Age...ended in the 1960's, when long-haired campus radicals took over the culture..." Michael Lind
UP FROM CONSERVATISM "Let me control the myths of a nation and I care not who makes its laws."
Mark Twain Michael Savage's book, like the WWF, is another soap opera for men (and the Tom-boy women wanting to play too) with big opinions and hard attitudes. I heard a commercial for his radio show where he went off on what men really mean when they describe themselves to women for dates, like in the personals, and cracked up laughing for about ten minutes. He's got the knack for catching people's attention and saying what they want to hear, and he's riding the knack all the way to the bank! I personlly don't enjoy these kinds of books, however, because they remind me too much of the German propaganda of the young Nazi movement when Hitler took over back in the thirties, echoed in the anti-Semitic demagoguery of our United States. I was shocked to find out, in large part thanks to the writings of Gore Vidal, that the US had no intention of getting involved in World War Two in 1940 until FDR secretly made Pearl Harbor possible to ensure we would a year later. He knew it was going to happened before it happened; he also knew that America would not be inspired to take part in the Second World War without it. This is a matter of history, not opinion. America had no real issues with the pre-Holocaust Hitler who invaded Poland, however, partly because of the prevailing attitudes on the street engineered by populist books and radio shows. It was common for them to be heavy laden with anti-Semitic, isolationist and racist rhetorical messages that said, since a) they are all screwed-up Europeans and b) Hitler's ideas aren't completely off the mark anyway [our Jim Crow laws attested to that belief], we shouldn't get involved. They were also proudly justified becaause they supported the passion of the hosts' efforts to--imagine this? [Holy deja vu Batman!]--*save American culture*. I doubt Michael Savage truly believes in the inevitable conclusions one could gather from his ideologies: the support of an American police state dressed in conservatism. He is just a radio shock-jock having a good time. But as an entertainer, maybe it isn't his job to be aware of the Zeitgeist his bestselling book is riding. Maybe it is ours. "Indeed, it seems increasingly likely that the now moribund mainstream conservative movement of 1955-1992 will be viewed by historians as nothing more than the icebreaker for a resurgent radical right. Historians of the next century may well record that the conservatism of [William F.] Buckley, Kristol and Podhoretz was an ephemeral offshoot from the main line of descent on the Amerian right, a line that leads from Father Coughlin through Joe McCarthy and George Wallace to Pat Robertson and Patrick Buchanan. Though they claim to be students of the [American,] French and Russian revolutions, all too many of the thinkers and strategists of the conservative movement appear to have forgotten that those who begin revolutions are seldom the ones who finish them. Indeed, they are often among the first victims of the brutal forces they unleash upon the world." Michael Lind
UP FROM CONSERVATISM
From the Introduction: The Triumph and Collapse of Conservatism This book is an important reminder that America is in trouble and its soul needs saving...even if the writer is ironically wrong about what it needs to be saved from. For that and that alone it gets four stars.

Summary: PERFECT!!!
Review: This book is a breath of Fresh Air in these times of world instability. I don't agree with all the views written in this book but I enjoyed the overall content as a whole. We are being lied to everyday in the mainstream media and only given one side of the story. People like Michael Savage scare the left because he gives the silent majority something to think about other than what we are feed everyday on television. Buy this book...read it and then give it to a friend!
