Savage Soft Drinks

Michael Savage
Administer of Hate









Doug TenNepal, cartoon artist behind Catscratch and best know for Earthworm Jim, has a rabid Right-Wing blog. In that blog, today, he accuses "Dr. Laniac" of being a "CryBaby". This is interesting both because Doug then proceeds to whine on and on for a good long while, and also because a new University of California study is out (started in the mid-60s) that has charted the social growth of particularly "whiny crybabies" and how they have turned out now decades later. I will expand upon this later, but it will surprise few that a great majority of them turned out to be rabid Conservatives. The logic is simply. They feel more fearful by nature regardless of nurture.

Well a great example of this is Michael Savage, the radio host of "Savage Nation" and his clone of a son Mini-Savage, who is the head of Rockstar, the energy drink.

Dr. Laniac was simply pondering a boycott of Rockstar products, which is his free right. Just as it is the right of 6 million people to allow Savage to throw-up in their ears a nasty bile-filled combination of violence, homophobia and hate.

We can choose to not economically support such people.

Once again we are talking about accountability. Conservative pretend to be about accountability, and I am sure many moderate Conservatives are. In fact, in the last election I voted for a staunch Conservative because he was a true public servant and an honest man.

He did not win.

But this administration is not about accountability at all. And they play on fear and sublimal hate.

We just don't have to buy it. That's part of Democracy.

But what was TenNepal's reaction to a possible boycott?

"I'm gonna buy a six pack" of it.

This is not unusual. Typical knee-jerk emotional reaction.

Like Savage, TenNepal has also urged simply nuking Arabs, embraces the same Social Darwinism that leads to violence and takes glee in owning the largest SUV he can so he can foul the planet.

On the other hand he is not racist, and probably not homophobic...just angry.

It's all a form of spiritual Nihilism. It's Gluttony, Wrath with a splash of Avarice thrown into the cocktail.

To his credit, Dougy T points to an article at Salon.com. But he points (as usual) to the wrong one. HERE is the one you really wanna read. It's disgusting but true.

Why are Dougy's panties all in a bunch?

Boycott.

Based in fear (and one which is groundless) TenNapel feels such boycott's could "someday" extend to him.

Right-Wing paranoia.

I suppose if he gets even more crazy and starts promoting active violence, or sexual harassment or is caught in some scandal, a boycott of Catscratch could ensue.

But that isn't gonna happen. Doug's basically a Pharisee. He's a very moral guy who takes his self-righteousness seriously.

I am a Liberal and Doug hates my guts. But I wouldn't ask children to miss an episode of Catscratch that they wanted to watch. It's a very well done cartoon with some nice humor. It has a Scottish cat in it! Even I can hardly resist.

Men and women are entitled to their political opinions to a very wide degree here in America. Then they do their jobs.

Even Michael Savage is entitled to be an endless radio asshole...so long as he doesn't threaten real people or commit overt crimes.

But we can turn off our radios when he comes on and we do not have to buy Mini-Savage drinks if it fuels an empire we feel is harmful to others. We also can choose to pay a bit more for a ClifBar over a competitior because they spend millions protecting the Environment.

We have the FREEDOM to do that. It's all a part of free Capitalism.

Stranegly, Dougy T does not understand this at all.

Dougy T will go buy that six-pack (such a party animal) and I won't ever again.

That's freedom baby.
