Freepers decide Michel Savage is pulling a Colbert.

As part of my vice of keeping track of the more loony parts of the right wing I have been known to indulge in listening to Michael Savage. He always seemed to me to be a pretty doctrinaire, if particularly angry, Conservative. But for whatever reason (attacking Bush before it was cool? His liberal past?) Freepers seem to think he's more of a fake than O'Reilly.

rom, for instance:

Meh, Savage is a closet lib playing the part of ‘angry right wing wackjob’ IMHO. Look at his support for Gov. Moonbeam!

Ann Archy agrees:

men.....when the left mentions right wing nuts on the radio, they ALWAYS mean Savage.....he’s a Liberal...maybe hisw son Russell is GAY.

iowamark is the one who drops the Colbert idea:

The "Michael Savage" character may not be liberal. But the actor who plays him, Michael Weiner, is certainly a leftist. It should surprise nobody that his son is the same.

Fast Ed97 names names:

Savage has a radical left history. It has been hinted before that he simply was able to tap himself into a lucrative career by being jumping on the bandwagon of conservatism and becoming a successful radio host--not unlike Medved, Prager and more recently Dennis Miller.

whatisthetruth isn't a fan, but seems to listen daily to find minutia to parse:

I know Savage mentioned the other day that some of his relatives are very jealous of him and they are no longer on speaking terms, wonder who that might be.

lormand would like us all to know how close to home this all strikes:

We have an 11 month old mini-weiner. She can never be as nasty, mean and wacked out as Michael Weiner.
