Subject: Conservative Darling Michael Savage Mocks Autism

Isn't this nice? But still, just like the buffoon Limbaugh, there are "family values" people who will dismiss these comments and still listen to the idiot.

i heard about this, michael savage is so unbelievably loathsome it's hard to notice. it's like a gloopy crusty thing bubbling out of a steadily oozing sewage pipe. it kinda stands out but isn't any worse than the other stuff.
i believe that's my best simile ever.

He's an asshat, and his comments suck.

He usually just mocks a howling infantile-tempered semi-psychotic xenaphobic gay-bashing ex-vitamin pedlar!

This isn't just an opinion that Savage holds, I've heard it before. Things like "If parents would discipline their kids more and stop making excuses there would be no such thing as autism"
It's a pretty popular sentiment in the silent generation. No, this does not mean it's correct. Science is discovering that some causes of autism weren't always prevalent.

This guy, like essentially all the right-wing radio blowhards, is nothing but a joke.
"Compassionate" Conservatism indeed. ::)

If he did he wouldn't be saying that.

I was saying that Savage wouldn't have said that if he did have an autistic child.

I never heard of him.
And hopefully...I don't.

Thank goodness he does not. He seems to lack the compassion and understanding having a child with autism surely requires. I shudder to think of the ways he would get his autistic child to "shape up". :(

My uncle seems to have some moderate autism. There are aspects of autism discrete from more common social anxiety. I used to have more social anxiety, which made me seem pretty isolated. I didn't want to seem isolated but it was a defense mechanism.
