Savage is the author of 19 books, including four New York Times Best Sellers: ''The Political Zoo'', ''Liberalism is a Mental Disorder'', ''The Savage Nation'' and ''The Enemy Within.''

Savage is generally known to be more outspoken, or more direct, than other conservative commentators. Some view this as his way of driving home points to liberals, who he seems to view as cynical. Other conservatives are strongly against such methods. However, many do find them to be effective and count themselves as fans of his show, which was named by ''Talkers Magazine'' as the third most influential talk show in America.<ref>[http://66.227.50.219/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=44 Talkers Magazine 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America, 2008]</ref>

In March 2004, he began a televised version of ''The Savage Nation'' on [[MSNBC]], but was let go<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2003-07-07-msnbc-fires-savage_x.htm MSNBC fires Michael Savage after anti-gay comments</ref> after telling a prank caller who identified himself as a, "sodomite," in Savage's words, to, "get [[AIDS]] and die."<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdtw-WDSzzI</ref> Savage explained that he was making a personal insult to a prank caller, who he considered to be harassing him, not to all gays.

==Banned in Britain==
On May 5, 2009 Savage was placed on a list of persons who have either called for attacks against the British government, or have attacked and murdered individuals based on political or religious hatred; others on the list included Jewish nationalist Mike Guzovsky; imprisoned Russian skinhead leaders Artur Ryno and Pavel Skachevsky; and Islamic leaders Wadgy Abd El Hamied Mohamed Ghoneim, Abdullah Qadri Al Ahdal, Safwat Hijazi, Amir Siddique, Abdul Ali Musa, Samir Al Quntar and Nasr Javed. Citing the hypocrisy of Britain in general, and British liberalism in particular when they stand by and listen to the calls for murder and destruction by Islamic fanatics ''within'' Britain, Savage said,
:"How can a nation put me on a list and leave hate preachers in England who say that we're going to kill all of you? We're going to convert all of you to Islam. How is it possible that those hate preachers can't be deported from Britain, but I can be banned from Britain? People who advocate actual murder cannot be deported from Britain.

'''Bernard "Bernie" Sanders''', born September 8, 1941 (age {{age|1941|9|8}}), is a [[United States Senate|United States Senator]], representing [[Vermont]]. Sanders identifies as a [[socialist|democratic socialist]]. He calls himself an Independent but always caucuses with [[Democrats]]. Previously, he served in the House of Representatives for eight terms, after serving several terms as mayor of Burlington. Sanders has a 100% pro-[[abortion]] voting record. Sanders is also a film-maker, having made a documentary about [[Eugene V. Debs]] in 1979.

At a press conference on April 30, 2015, Sanders announced that he is running for the Democrat nomination in the [[2016 presidential election]]. He held an "official launch" on May 26.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/04/29/vermont-sen-bernie-sanders-am-running-for-president/</ref>

Sanders has a devout following, made up of many of the same people (mostly [[millenials]]) that voted for [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. He tickles his supporters' ears with all the usual [[Marxist]] claptrap; America is bad, banks are bad, equality, the middle class, minimum wage, free healthcare, free college, a government so big it will be like living in a [[utopia]].

==2016 Campaign==
Sanders calls himself an outsider and anti-establishment. He has spent the last 40 years in politics. He is in fact an insider and the establishment.

Sanders does take pleasure in creating the same straw men as Obama. Specifically, the GOP war on women. Calls to defund [[Planned Parenthood]] is an opportunity for Sanders to denounce the treatment of women. He would kill a child in the womb for any reason and at any term but the GOP is extremist. Sanders will say the GOP wants to deny women's health services. The facts are that 13,000 women's health centers are available that are not owned by Planned Parenthood. He supports babies chopped up and sold for parts. No concern for underage victims of rape not being reported. He is indifferent to the fraudulent billing of the US government.

Class warfare is favorite theme for Sanders, pitting rich against the poor. His Marxist lynch pin is the argument that the banks are too big. He also claims that billionaires are hurting the country, citing the Koch brothers over and over. He believes that America needs to spend another $18 trillion dollars despite being $18 Trillion in debt. He has also made claims supporting single-payer healthcare, free college tuition, etc.

In one rant, Sanders claimed that Americans needlessly have too many choices when it comes to deodorant brands, noting that he counted 23 different types of the product for sale. Somehow he tied the story into feeding the poor. Reason.com produced a satirical video mocking its absurdity titled [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fspZiT8TdBE "The Bernie Sanders Save The Children Fund."]

He has said that [[America]] is racist, and he puts down America almost daily.

Sanders is the author of "Rape Essays," a 1972 text on sexual behavior filled with lurid sexual language. Because he is a leftist, he was able to explain the text away without the media hounding him over it.

Sanders uses [[Christian socialism]] to further his campaign, citing Pope Francis. However, Sanders cherry picks what elements of Christianity he agrees with and ignores the rest. He told a crowd of 300 in [[Alabama]] that [[Jesus]] was a socialist. <ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/14/jesus-was-a-socialist-bernie-sanders-rocks-alabama/ ‘JESUS WAS A SOCIALIST': BERNIE SANDERS ROCKS ALABAMA, Breitbart, July 14, 2015]</ref>

He openly wants to tax the top 1%, 90 percent of their income.

==Controversial votes==
In all of his years in politics, Sanders never authored a bill that made it into law. Conservative Review has compiled a Liberty Score on Sanders. He gets a F at just 16%.

Sanders headed the Veterans Affairs Committee. Under his purview; waiting list deaths, destruction and manipulation of medical records, whistleblowers punished, opiate abuse, fraud unpunished, mismanagement rewarded with pay raises, wait times to see a doctor has never been longer. Sanders has done next to nothing to fix these issues. Even today while he campaigns, he is still a member of the committee and has no plans to turn the duties over to somebody that will give it the time it deserves to fix.

During Bernie Sanders 2006 Senatorial campaign, it back. [[Republican]] opponent Rich Tarrant made an issue over Sanders 2003 vote against the [[Amber Alert]]. Which is a notification to the general public, by various media outlets in [[Canada]] and in the [[United States]], when police confirmed that a child has been abducted. The bill passed in the House of Representatives 410-14. Every United States Senator voted for it, including Vermont Senators [[Patrick Leahy]] and [[Jim Jeffords]]. He was also one of only nineteen Congressman to vote against the Women's Rights HIV Testing –Passage. Which would allow sexual assault victims to find out the HIV status of their suspected assailant.

After countless stories of election fraud by the group ACORN, Bernie Sanders was one of seven Democrats that voted to continue funding [[ACORN]]. The vote failed and ACORN was stripped of funding in the Senate <ref>[http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27153.html Senate denies ACORN funding, Politico, September 14, 2009]</ref> Bill Wilson of [[Americans for Limited Government]] said, "The ACORN Housing Corporation has long been pushing the very loose-lending policies that helped destroy the housing industry. And now it has been exposed for working with prostitutes, as well. Yet, these seven Senators [Sanders] have knowingly voted to keep sending taxpayer money to a highly corrupt organization of pushers and pimps," <ref>[http://politicomafioso.blogspot.com/2009/09/alg-condemns-7-senators-for-voting-to.html ALG Condemns 7 Senators,Politico Mafioso, September 16, 2009]</ref>

==Eugene Debs Documentary==
In 1979, Sanders wrote, directed, and lent his voice for Debs' dialogue<ref>[http://www.businessinsider.com/bernie-sanders-loves-eugene-v-debs-documentary-2015-9 A documentary that Bernie Sanders made about a socialist politician 36 years ago says a lot about his politics today], [[Business Insider]]</ref> in a documentary which shows a long-standing respect on part of Sanders for what Debs stood for.<ref>[http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/425839/bernie-sanders-documentary-eugene-debs Bernie Sanders’s Documentary on Eugene Debs], [[National Review]]</ref>
