The popular radio talk show host who did a weekend TV show for the cable channel referred to an unidentified caller to his show Saturday as a "sodomite" and said he should "get AIDS and die." "His comments were extremely inappropriate and the decision was an easy one," MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines said. MSNBC fired Michael Savage after he referred to an unidentified caller to his show as a "sodomite" and said he should "get AIDS and die." There was no immediate comment from Savage, according to a spokesman at his office in California. The brash, tough-talking Savage is one of radio's hottest jocks. His Paul Revere Society advocates closing borders, deporting illegal immigrants, mandating health tests for immigrants and eliminating entitlement programs. The televised version of The Savage Nation began March 8 despite the protests of such advocacy groups as the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Aired at 5 p.m. ET Saturday, Savage didn't translate into a television hit. He increased the ratings for the time slot marginally, according to MSNBC. The incident that resulted in his firing began innocently enough. Savage was taking viewer phone calls about airline horror stories, and a male caller began talking about smoking in the bathroom. "Half an hour into the flight, I need to suggest that Don and Mike take your ..." the caller said, before he was cut off and his words became unintelligible. "So you're one of those sodomists. Are you a sodomite?" Savage asked. The caller replied: "Yes, I am." "Oh, you're one of the sodomites," Savage said. "You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How's that? Why don't you see if you can sue me, you pig. You got nothing better than to put me down, you piece of garbage. You have got nothing to do today, go eat a sausage and choke on it." He asked for another phone caller who "didn't have a nice night in the bathhouse who's angry at me today." These bums "mean nothing to me," he said. GLAAD spokeswoman Cathy Renna said of Savage's firing: "It's about time. "This latest attack made the clearest case for why Savage has no place on any reputable news network. MSNBC witnessed firsthand exactly the kind of verbal assaults GLAAD's been warning them about for the past five months, and to their credit, they backed up their promises to hold Savage accountable."” 6:15:31 PM 7/08/03 “Savage is THE biggest dolt I've seen ina very long time......well, besides some of the "new" trolls around here....” 6:30:43 PM 7/08/03 “He was set up, the Don & Mike refered to are a couple of Washington DC talk show guys, I listen to them all the time. Followers of their show, on their own accord, will call other shows to plug D&M by farting on air or just being rude in other ways. D&M then replay the tapes, there are several of D&M fans calling Larry King. While D&M do not ask their callers to do this, the encouragment is when they replay the tape on their show.” 8:34:37 PM 7/08/03 “I'm at a loss to understand how being on the receiving end of a prank phone call gives one license to wish a horrible death on someone or (by extension) a group of people.” 7:14:08 AM 7/09/03 “One thing ya can't hide Is when you're crippled inside” 7:33:59 AM 7/09/03 “I agree vIoLin, he got what he deserved!” 12:40:23 PM 7/09/03
