There is a reason why I don’t listen to right-wing talk radio, even though one should “know thy enemy.”  I know enough bad things about it from what I hear from other people, liberal/progressive talk-radio, reading it on blogs, seeing it on shows, etc.

But, I did not know the extent of how completely disgusting it was until I heard this clip on Bill Moyer’s journal:

MICHAEL SAVAGE: “I’ll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it’s a brat who hasn’t been told to cut the act out. That’s what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they’re silent? They don’t have a father around to tell them, ‘Don’t act like a moron. You’ll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don’t sit there crying and screaming, idiot.’”

Other examples can also be found by reading the transcript of this Friday’s episode (if you could stomach it).
