Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Right-wing syndicated radio host Michael Savage has offered Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. "While it's true that Romney is not as strong a conservative as many would like him to be, the most pressing issue before America today is defeating Barack Obama," Savage wrote on his website. "And that is something Newt Gingrich cannot do. For weeks on my show, I have enumerated the reasons why Gingrich cannot succeed in an election against Obama."

wow. Why does Michael Savage have to write everything in capital letters? Regardless, I think his analysis is correct. I've been saying something similar for several weeks now.

The number of Republicans who worked with Newt and don't mind publically stating they are appalled by him seems extensive.

But I'm afraid that the picked-over carrion that once was the GOP will insist on nominating an asshole this year.

THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE BEFORE AMERICA TODAY IS DEFEATING BARACK OBAMA.

......I would have thought lowering unemployment, getting the economy on track, extending health care coverage, ending the wars, improving education, upgrading the national infrusture......and a whole lot of other issues would be more important to Americans than getting rid of Obama.......

......but I guess the Repubs have another agenda........

Skiz, Obama is the only impediment to those things. To some people, your list and his name are synonymous.

"Skiz, Obama is the only impediment to those things."

Yeah, I agree cuz I don't remember all the way back to 2008. It seems like decades ago. BTW, the real experts in economics are still trying to fully comprehend the ramifications of the collapse of 2008 which is still playing out. Obama has done a good job riding this roller coaster. Those trying to say differently are really trying to shift the blame for 2008.

To some people, your list and his name are synonymous.

I believe you. I also believe that this brood of vipers will cost you the election (s) next year.

It's for all the world like you think Obama is the Dark Wizard Grunwald, and all you can think to do is oppose him with Lord Voldemort.

It's getting to beyond crazy. I'm with DANNI---There will be at least the effort to draft someone, almost anyone, other than Newt to be the GOP nominee in 2012.

"Why does Michael Savage have to write everything in capital letters?"

Because typing in all-caps on the Internet is shouting - a natural result of the frustration that comes from trying to make Republicans listen to reason.

I doubt he'll take it. $1 million is about two months pay from Fannie and Freddie. He has to give that up (probably) if he wins the Presidency.

I like the idea of passing a hat around, though. I think we should do the same for "President" Obama.

I don't think Newt wants to be President.
Sometime on his political life-journey, he found that he couldn't save the world, but he make a ton of cash playing the K-Street game.
He ran for President to pump up his appearance fees, book royalties and lobbyist fees.
Now that he's in the lead, he's laughing all the way the way to the bank.
A cynical bunko charlatan who had no intention of winning the Repub nomination may just accidentally do it.
Bought off for a million bucks ?.......not likely......Newt knows this is worth millions upon millions.

Sounds like Noot is going to do a Palin. Which would make sense, the money is there.

yeah yeah

its also to highlight something...I use caps more for emphasis than shouting...

and anyone on the left who thinks that michael savage is typical gop...please continue to do so...

"I use caps more for emphasis than shouting..."

That's because your too fucking lazy/stupid to figure out things like italics or bold or (heaven fucking forbid) bold italics.

Which comes as no surprise from a Texas educator who's even too lazy/stupid to bother typing the English language correctly.

"and anyone on the left who thinks that michael savage is typical gop..."

And what part of "extreme right-wingers" did you not understand?

Each has its place.

Italics is when you hit a word with emphasis as in: You think that looks good?

Bold is when you would be speaking slowly to push the word to make sure it was clear to the listener as in: Yes, I do think that it looks good.

All caps is for when you would yell something as in: WELL, YOU'RE WRONG!

.....but I guess the Repubs have another agenda........

They do indeed have their priorities and they don't include you or anyone else in the middle class.

Savage has really fallen off the radar ever since he was banned from the UK. Both him and Beck have really fallen to the wayside. Seems as though only Oreilly, Hannity, and Rush are surviving the push against right wing extremism.

" Right-wing syndicated radio host Michael Savage has offered Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination"

Well this only confirms what Savage and the other cheap shock-jocks have been saying all along;
Obama is taking everyone's money via taxes and ruining the economy

He should pull what is commonly referred to around the beltway as a "newt": lie, take the guy's money, then get drunk and hit on his wife.

"Why does Savage use caps...?"

Savage has stated on his radio show that he considers emails equivalent to telegrams, hence the caps.

He's also an archaic moron on a very high horse.

Which is why we need to get behind Romney. He may not be all of our first choice, but Ghengis Khan would be better than Obama, and that's what we have to focus on... getting Obama outta there.

Republicans need to understand this, and missing this point with be to everyone's peril.

Raise the amount offered to $10 Million and I'll bet you $10.00 Newt leaves.

but Ghengis Khan would be better than Obama,

That just shows you don't know your Khans. It's the sort of lack of perspective that's saddled your pitiful people with Newt in the first place.

"Get in back" of Romney? Not likely. Your Party appears to love the cool feel of gasoline on the skin it will shortly strike a match to.

The funniest thing about Michael "Savage" is that his name is really Michael "Weiner." Talk about going from one extreme to the other.

What a geezer.

emails equivalent to telegrams

Then he should use Morse code.

I'd just as soon have the fed print another $3 Trillion, add it to the deficit and let the entire Congress split it in exchange for them leaving too.

That's because your too fucking lazy/stupid

Nicely done, dummy.

And old NOOTY is 10+ up on the Mittster. And only 6 behind Obama.

I don't think Weinerboy has anything to worry about. All the good Little GOPpers will do as they're told and let Mittsy win the nomination.

Obama is secretly offering Newt 5 million to stay in and run.

I'd just as soon have the fed print another $3 Trillion, add it to the deficit and let the entire Congress split it in exchange for them leaving too.

Shit, that's be chump change in comparison to what they can scam now-just ask Richy Cantor, Lord of the Looting.

More reasons Dems should register as republicans! Newt 2013!

Well said Skizziks.

Does it occur to anyone to ask where a psychotic like Savage got a million? Thought not. herm

Ever hear of his Radio show, Savage Nation or do you have trouble picking it up with your crystal radio, old timer?

......I would have thought lowering unemployment, getting the economy on track....All things that the government should stay the fuck out of, extending health care coverage, ending the wars, improving education....Definitely needed and would greatly aided by the vast majority of American's learning how to raise their own children, upgrading the national infrusture they should really get on that ......and a whole lot of other issues would be more important to Americans than getting rid of Obama.......

These are certainly important to many Americans, but we have a political system where priority number one is staying in office, priority number two is making the people who will keep you in office loads of money, and priority number three is to make tons of money...Kinda makes it difficult for our rulers to get to these minor issues.

Poor Michael--

Herm--he writes books--buys them--then gives them out to callers to his radio show. His show was bumped to 9 pm or somewhere??

He doesn't like anyone.

He does like his dog (Teddy?) and telling everyone where he eats at night.

Why doesn't he make the same offer to Obama??

That's the guy who needs to go.

Latest polls show Gingrich is over Obama in swing states..

"Why doesn't he make the same offer to Obama??"

A million isn't enough to make either Gingrich or Obama go away.

I put no stock in polls this early in the game (if I ever do). I've been interested to see some rwers in this thread saying that Obama will win. Makes ya think. I hope the Republicans come up with something. Make Obama run on his own record, and you know, in 2012 not 2008. But put up someone interesting. Huntsman and Paul both qualify.

If all you prognosticators wanna put your heads on it, you should start betting on VPs. Who's Newt's?

Savage has stated on his radio show that he considers emails equivalent to telegrams, hence the caps.

In other words, he's fucking old as shit.

but Ghengis Khan would be better than Obama, and that's what we have to focus on...

You know what would have been great?

If, rather than trying to do everything they possibly could to make this president a "one term president" from day one of his presidency, the republicans had actually tried to participate in government.

maybe, right now with a president so low in the approval ratings, they'd actually have a chance to beat him and a leg to stand on.

from above...

Skiz, Obama is the only impediment to those things. To some people, your list and his name are synonymous.

Only to really, really stupid people...well, and Republicans...

Wait, did I just repeat myself? Why yes, yes I did...

"Why does Michael Savage have to write everything in capital letters?"

Because he's seriously mentally ill.

No joke.

Be Well.

Obama is the only impediment to those things.

Bullshit. The impediment to those things is the do nothing Congress. But I would not expect you to see that.

That is because you are an idiot.

Whenever I bother to read one of your rants, I prefer to read it like you are shouting every other word due to the caps.

Kind of gives me a look into the insane psyche.

Savage is a raging hate filled monster. He CAPS everything because he IS SHOUTING. Listen to his radio show some time, he shouts all the time.

His basic argument is that Newt is too ugly to win the presidency because women of the US are so shallow that they only vote for men who they would date.

Savage is pathetic.

His basic argument is that Newt is too ugly to win the presidency because women of the US are so shallow that they only vote for men who they would date.

Have you seen Savage's picture? He is speaking from experience.

The status quo Republicans share a part of what has gone wrong with this country.Savage has a personal hate for Newt for which he doesn't really explain as far as egos go Savage isn't a piker in that assessment either.He considers himself of genius caliber and I think resents Newt's smarts.

I guarantee that most Dems would enjoy having Gingrich as the nominee--because it would ensure the re-election of President Obama.

They are whistling in the dark because they are fools if they think OBAMA even with the media would best Newt in a one on one debate.Newt has said he would debate Obama and let him read from his teleprompter.The guy is media hype.When he gets past talking he is a wasted hunch.

ANYONE the yahoos have would insure President Obama's re-election, Sam. You think Mitt, Rick, Michelle, Ron and such wouldn't? Blame the corporate kingmakers for not heeding reality and developing a credible candidate. The Big O surely is vulnerable. Doesn't a REAL third party look good right now? herm

Anytime you lead or take a stand on big issues you to going to have some who harbor resentment and some will become enemies.You can never please everybody,there's only been one man who tried and they hung him on a cross and pierced his side. ON the other hand he could have did like another man and just voted present.

No thats what the Demos are promoting,the only possible way they can win other by hook or crook.

ORielly lost me when he interviewed Obama,Obama claimed that in the twenty years of going to Wright's church he never heard Wright say any of the things that were on tape.Orielly said he believed him, that's a kiss if I ever heard one!
