Savage says: Olmert leading Israelis to ‘gas chamber’

Photo

I usually delete e-mail from Media Matters without even reading it. But I couldn’t pass on this gem. It seems talk show nutjob Michael Savage had an anti-Olmert outburst on his nationally syndicated radio program. Responding a few nights ago to news that an Israeli police officer committed suicide while French President Nicolas Sarkozy prepared to board a plane, Savage speculated that it wasn’t a suicide at all. No, his sources in Israel suggested it was an attempt on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s life;

“There is speculation that there was an attempt to kill Olmert because he has sold the country down the river, and he is selling the people to their death—he is leading them to the gas chamber. He is a—the equivalent of those who led the Jews into the gas chambers in World War II, according to many Israelis who see the handwriting on the wall.“

Olmert has been bad—really bad—for Israel. The guy’s main interest is self, prolonging a political career until his countrymen just can’t take it anymore. But only the rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva University and Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe have joked/suggested that he should die for his governance.

What’s the story here? That Michael Savage is an over-the-top entertainer? Who did you expect, Yoda? Savage is being Imus’ed here. Every hour off every day there is a worldwide gushing flood of deathly hatred and threats against Jews, Israel and Zionism and rather than even notice it here, such orgs as Palestinian Media Watch and CAMERA are put down as paranoid. Michael Savage rightly if crudely speculates as to whether all concerned would be better off without him, and some people may be acting on that, and it’s nutjob hate speech.

If Olmert is bad - really bad for Israel
- and he is repsonsible for the lives of both civilians and military
- as well as the viability of the entire state
- and he has already been responsible for needless deaths of both civilians and military
- not to mention mere maiming
- and erosion of morale and political capital and undermining the vialbility of the state
- and by his corruption has shown that his motivations cannot be trusted . . .

It has already been suggested that he remove himself voluntarily and non-violently.

As far as the suicide goes, the details of it are far fetched. Hmmm, a Druze policeman whose family insists he was a well rooted person with a family and a future shoots himself in the head on a rooftop overlooking the ceremony with a long-range M16 rifle, at the very moment when the presidents are clasping hands, falls off the building while two female soldiers faint, and Shin Bet clears all media from the airport and discovers the dead guy’s partner over the body. Dang, should have bought a lotto ticket while the law of averages were all cockeyed.

" . . . Making fewer films is good, because there are too many films in the marketplace and too much pressure to perform in the first weekend.

People are recycling ideas, not reinventing them . . . "
