Another Right Wing Talk Show Host Speaks,

Yet another right wing speaks on a topic that he knows nothing about…

Michael Savage: Transgender Rights Will Destroy Society, Outlaw Reassignment Surgery
Right Wing Watch
By Brian Tashman

On Friday, Michael Savage was infuriated by a Hollywood Reporter interview in which director Michael Cimino denied rumors that he is transgender, which led Savage on a rant about “tranny grannies” and why sex reassignment surgery should be outlawed.

“What is this, upstaging the other guy who is simply gay?” Savaged wondered. “This is how crazy this is becoming. It’s not cool enough now just to be gay and have a husband as a gay man, now you have to be a transsexual who cuts your schmendrick off and becomes a woman. I really don’t following this, it’s insanity. It’s the meltdown of an entire society, it’s insane.”

I will tell you why, it is because of people like you who belittle transgender people and call them derogatory names that have forced us into the closet for most of our lives, it is people like you that has caused the trans community to have one of the highest suicide rates of any marginalized community.

It is only now that we are getting the courage to transition, it is only now that society is realizing that society has been wrong to persecute the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.

Many on the right do not consider San Francisco based Michael Savage to be a conservative. He is surely not a Republican. He is an entertainer who throws around issues like IEDs. When Bush was president he was after Bush on a daily basis. THe same with Obama.
You, however, do not miss many opportunities to defame all who may not support your brand of leftism.
I would suggest that you look at Saturday's NY Daily News Op Ed by Republican James Richardson, former spokesman for the RNC. Or you may want to look at some of the writings of former RNC Chairman, Ken Mehlman, another gay GOP member. You may also look into the work of the long standing Log Cabin Republicans or the more recently founded GOProud.
You are a well educated ideologue and I keep holding out hope that you will put aside the hateful group assination rhetoric but perhaps with the country an economic mess, Obamacare tanking, our standing in the world a disgrace, terrorism growing unchecked and our best ally in the middle east being defamed and insulted all you have to talk about is group hate of others. You seem intent on proving that Saul Alinsky, a hero and mentor to both Hillary and Obama, had valid points to make in his Rules of Radicals.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
