GET THE POINT (Michael Savage)!!!!

GET THE POINT!!!!

Alright I haven’t done a rant in a few weeks however something really pissed me off where I had to write about it. A lot of people probably heard about what Michael Savage said about autism. Now I want you to look at an article by the anti-conservative group Media Matters

http://mediamatters.org/items/200807180001

In the article in states that Michael Savage is trying to take cheap show and belittle kids. If you actually looked at the entire thing he said then you would see that is not what he was trying to do and that isn’t what he did. They also talked like he was talking down to minorities with asthma, when in fact he wasn’t. What he was doing was bringing up known facts that people in minority groups were not given the appropriate care and were just diagnosed with asthma to get the money flowing for this racket. This organization took what he said completely out of context and doesn’t understand the point he was trying to make. Now what I am going to do now is post the entire transcript of what he said and I hope you are smart enough to get the point of what he is trying to say.

SAVAGE: Now, you want me to tell you my opinion on autism, since I'm not talking about autism? A fraud, a racket. For a long while, we were hearing that every minority child had asthma. Why did they sudden -- why was there an asthma epidemic amongst minority children? Because I'll tell you why: The children got extra welfare if they were disabled, and they got extra help in school. It was a money racket. Everyone went in and was told [fake cough], "When the nurse looks at you, you go [fake cough], 'I don't know, the dust got me.' " See, everyone had asthma from the minority community. That was number one.
Now, the illness du jour is autism. You know what autism is? 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."
Autism -- everybody has an illness. If I behaved like a fool, my father called me a fool. And he said to me, "Don't behave like a fool." The worst thing he said -- "Don't behave like a fool. Don't be anybody's dummy. Don't sound like an idiot. Don't act like a girl. Don't cry." That's what I was raised with. That's what you should raise your children with. Stop with the sensitivity training. You're turning your son into a girl, and you're turning your nation into a nation of losers and beaten men. That's why we have the politicians we have.
Now the point he is trying to make here is that parents have to straighten up and stop babying their kids so much. The other point that he is trying to make is that it is a huge racket and they are going to keep on diagnosing kids with autism and have them put on medication in order to give these pharmaceutical companies more money as well as the doctors who diagnose the child with autism. Someone also told me that LEGIT doctors are the ones who said that 1-150 kids are being diagnosed with autism. Give me a break that is like asking John Gotti if there is a mafia and then believing him when he said that there isn’t. These doctors are the ones who want to keep this racket going. They already do it and over diagnose kids with ADD and ADHD, and now they are starting to do it with autism because it is the “in” disorder now.

People also need to stop making a huge deal that Savage said 99% of the kids diagnosed with autism don’t really have it. Yes this is an over exaggerated number but it’s really no different when your outside on a hot day and you say “it’s a 1000 degrees out.” Obviously you are over exaggerating those numbers but people see that and they just think Savage is an insensitive asshole.

I’ve also been looking online and talking to people about what Michael Savage said and for the most part, people agree with him and understand the point he was trying to make. This isn’t just me talking to right wing nut jobs, but I have talked to several people who are more liberal and to the left and they support what Michael Savage is saying and say how he is bringing up a good point.

We need more people like Michael Savage who say what is on their minds and doesn’t hold back because they are worried they will offend someone. I completely support Michael Savage and think people need to do the same thing. This isn’t about being conservative, liberal, left, or right. This is about freedom of speech and being able to say what is on your mind. I will also say right now that I may not agree with the stuff liberals say but that is their right to say it because we have freedom of speech.

That is all I am going to cover in this rant. I have thing I plan on ranting about soon. Don’t know when they will happen but just wait and you’ll get them.
