I don't think he got away with those remarks (among others), seeing as he is now not allowed to enter the UK and his remarks on autism were frequently cited in the British press when he was characterised as a hate figure.

I can't express how much I absolutely hate Michael Savage.

I am sure he is untroubled by this because I am sure his kind sees no benefit to travelling anywhere but within the US.

I feel bad for this Michael Savage or Michael Alan Weiner. Strange that he doesn't publicly use the last name his father gave him.

He sounds like he has a lot of issues. He talks about scamming the system, but he himself is exploiting cash for spreading unproven (and far from true) opinions, provoking hatred and suing the UK for his denied entry.

I have to say, it is a little unfair his denied entry to the uk. Strange that he gets mad when he's treated unfairly, but continues to treat others unfairly.

This article sets a pretty dangerous precedent in my opinion.
In the shop in which I work, I often see a boy of about 5-6 years old who comes in with his parents, who, to anyone with the least bit of knowledge of the condition, is quite clearly autistic. Problem is, his parents just treat him like he's a typical badly behaved child by shouting at him and telling him off, which inevitably has no effect, and just makes him all the more confused. Ive never even heard the kid speak, not once.
Just imagine all the autistic kids whose parents take what this idiot Michael Savage says as sound advice. Pretty bleak. :(


My parents did this to me before I was diagnosed at 16, and I would imagine that lots of other parents do it, too. That's a very big reason why what Michael Savage said upsets me: because there are kids whose parents try to beat their autistic behaviors out of them (whether their child has a diagnosis or not) and I've experienced being punished for being yourself and doing things you have little to no control over, like tantrums.


I have to say I didn't have a great childhood,but my mother was a firm believer of children being able to express themselves. Therefore, my children were always able to express how they were feeling without being punished. I am thankful and gretful for the patience I have. My youngerst daughter who I know has Asperger's,has the right to express her discomfort without being closed into more confusion. I would like to tell this person who knows nothing about Asperger's to come to my home for a day or two and he would see that Asperger's is very real, there are times of frustration for me and the family dealing with our daughter/sibling,but it is something we can endure. People who have this types of disorders deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.Sadly, I find more and more people who are disrespectful to others without a disorder but the ones with a disorder are now fakes? These people need to wake up and live in the real world instead of their opinionated fairytale.

Sorry this was so long,it's just really sicking how some people are!!

They should send Michael Stern to Iraq - it'd make me piss myself laughing if he ended up wheelchair-bound and limbless for the rest of his life!

He did indeed - but then our penance is that we already have to put up with Chris Moyles. If Savage were allowed back into the UK, the rest of the population would be crowded off the island by the size of their egos (not to mention their rolypoly beerguts!)

This is made of win and crudely made sense.

All but few people claim bull, especially adolescents and university students, claim they're this and that, I've seen enough 20-somethings that sit on welfare knowingly (I know two these people) based apon an autism diagnosis, it's digusting.

There are a lot of people out there with real problems, don't misjudge my post, but the vast majority of undiagnosed "I think I have x mental abnormality", or " I have been diagnosed with x mental abnormality, and therefore I don't have to try/should be looked after/can't even attempt to do something, or get a job." Piss me the hell off.

If it soothes you nerves, I was diagnosed, first with AS, then depression, but I don't tell people about it, and I don't think I deserve any different from the next normal person.

Hmmm. Prior to being diagnosed I tried for almost ten years to finds / keep a job and failed despite never giving up hope or goiving up trying.

After the diagnosis, I got my current job through a disability programme and am still there now, five years later. I firmly believe that without my diagnosis I'd still be unemployed now. If someone has a condition that prevents them from fully functioning in the workplace without extrenal support, why shouldn't they be given special help? The idea of such programmes is to get people OFF benefits, not to give them an excuse never to work again.

I don't tell people about AS or depression eitheer, mind - unless I know that also have it themselves.

None of this alters my opinion about Savage either. Even if his arguments about AS were justified - and I don't believe they are - there are still plenty of other valid reasons to label him why he's an annoying w*ker.

Who the **** is Michael Savage?


(I'm not actually asking, but just trying to show that he's wholly irrelevant in today's modern society, and isn't even on the D-list.)

To you or I, that may be true, but unfortunately - like Chris Moyles - he's rather popular and pulls in enough listeners to get his radio and contracts renewed time and time again.

I wish I could be calm and self-possessed enough to ignore people like him completely, but I'm not.

If Michael Savage wished to say, Autism is a fraud then, I 'll say, Freemasons are just a mere social gathering group... :lol: :lol:
