But when you talk about defenseless children, that's another."Savage, a controversial conservative commentator, said during the July 16 broadcast of his show that autism is a "fraud, a racket. ..."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.' "Davenport said, after he had read an account of Savage's comments, "I made the decision that we weren't going to tolerate that."To say that 99 percent of children with autism are frauds, I just don't know where you come up with that."For his part, Savage has issued a clarification of his comments on his Web site, michaelsavage.com.It reads, in part: "My comments about autism were meant to boldly awaken parents and children to the medical community's attempt to label too many children or adults as 'autistic.' ..."Increasingly, our children are being used as profit centers by a greedy, corrupt medical/pharmaceutical establishment. ..."To permit greedy doctors to include children in medical categories which may not be appropriate is a crime against that child and their family. Let the truly autistic be treated. Let the falsely diagnosed be free."The network has received at least 75 to 100 e-mails condemning Savage's remarks, Davenport said. "And that doesn't count the phone calls."I think this was the thing to do. I couldn't see any way not to do it."The Savage Nation has been replaced by The Dennis Show, Davenport said. Gallo, Super Talk radio host, said on Monday that "we will address this on (today's) show." The Gallo Show airs 6-9 a.m.Savage's comments also sparked a protest in Manhattan on Monday by Autism United and parents outside WOR radio station, which carries the nationally syndicated show based in San Francisco.They are demanding Savage's firing and calling for a boycott of all stations carrying his show by parents of children with autism.Talk Radio Network, which syndicates The Savage Nation, reports on its Web site that more than 350 radio stations carry the show.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 It was interesting to watch the protests on the TV news last night (in San Francisco), but I'm not sure if it will do any good. I'm sure it just excites him to see the drama unfold. Getting the show canceled from multiple stations is the best way, so I'm glad that the station in Mississippi stepped up. I decided to follow the money trail and contact Talk Radio network directly. Their revenue is advertising, so threats to contact their ad clients with talk of product/service boycott may get more attention than people marching outside the SF radio station with signs. No corporation wants their clients to pull contracts due to an employees very public bad behavior. Here is the address: info@... Feel free to send them a message saying you (and everyone you know) will be contacting their advertising clients to express displeasure over the radio network's programing material and employees idiotic behavior. I'm not a rabid activist, but this guy deserves a good slap down. It needs to come from the boss signing his last paycheck. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------- > > Station nixes 'Savage Nation' > Radio host called autism a 'fraud, a racket' > Pettus • gpettus@... • July 22, 2008 > http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article? > AID=/20080722/NEWS/807220363/1001/news > > The Super Talk Mississippi radio network has canceled The Savage > Nation because of comments syndicated host Savage made about > autistic children last week. > > > Steve Davenport, president and CEO of Super Talk's parent company > Telesouth Communications, confirmed The Savage Nation had been > dropped from the network's lineup as of Monday. > > " It was just horrible what he said, " Davenport said Monday. > > " When you talk about people in politics, business people, that's one > thing.
