Michael Savage needs an #sskicking of Biblical proportions

I am not a violent guy.  A smart aleck?  Yeah.  A sarcastic schmuck?  Sure.  Sometimes (some might say “more than frequently”) a jerk.  Believe it or not, I’m really not proud of that.

But man, what I wouldn’t give for just five minutes alone with Michael Savage right about now!  The thrashing I would give to that cretin would be legendary.  UFC fighters would pay me to learn some of what I would do to Savage.  From the NY Daily News:

WOR radio talk show host Michael Savage, who makes a good living being outrageous, found himself in the middle of a new firestorm Monday after he branded most autistic children fakers who just need tougher parenting.

“In 99% 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?” Savage said last week in remarks that lit up the Internet over the weekend.

“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.’”
…
Ed Moffitt, 75, proudly showed a picture of Bob, his 8-year-old grandnephew. “Bob can’t speak. He never called Savage any names,” Moffitt said.

“We are dying to hear him say ‘Mommy’ or ‘Daddy.’ And [Savage] says that he is just acting out?” said the boy’s grandfather, retired NYPD officer Bob Moffitt. “It hurts me.”
…
On the air last night, Savage said his comments were “ripped out of context” by “far left Stalinists.”

He said he was talking about kids who were “misdiagnosed,” but repeated his contention that most children who are called autistic aren’t really sick.
…
Last month, Savage blamed the prevalence of autism on “a racket” to get disability payments dreamed up by “poorer families who have found a new way to be parasites on the government.” … 

I am trying to compose myself as I type this, and attempting to do so is proving more challenging than trying to reason with a moonbat.

Anyone who knows me well on a personal level recognizes my sensitivity to and awareness of autism.  Many people out there do not know what autism is, and I do my best to educate people when possible.  I recognize that many people who are underinformed on autism got their limited exposure to autism from the movie Rainman, and that’s a shame, since very few autistic folks are savants like Dustin Hoffman’s character.  Chances are that you will never meet an autistic savant.

Lack of education is one thing.  But a total callous disregard for those who suffer from an illness that affects 1 out of every 150 babies born is inexcusable.  Savage says that his comments were “ripped out of context” by “far left Stalinists.”  Considering I am the polar opposite of a “Stalinist”, I would love for someone to tell me in what context I am to infer his comments, because right now, I’m seething.
