Michael Savage Lives Up To His Name

Talk radio host Michael Savage (real name: Michael Weiner) has caused a stir after calling Autism “a fraud” and “racket.” You can listen to his 90-second rant here, if you can stomach it, but here’s his main point:

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.’

Good to see Savage’s ignorance is finally getting the guy some recognition.
