Michael Savage is an American radio host, author, and conservative political commentator. His nationally-syndicated talk show, The Savage Nation, airs throughout the United States on Talk Radio Network.
He holds master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and he earned a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in nutritional ethnomedicine. He has written books on herbal medicine and homeopathy.
On politics, he has written four New York Times bestsellers. His radio show reaches some 8 million listeners on 400 stations throughout the United States, ranking third in number of stations syndicated nationwide and third in nationwide audience.
Savage's political philosophy is able to be summarized in three words: borders, language, and culture. Some, including Savage himself, have characterized his views as conservative nationalism.
Consequently, he is a critic of illegal immigration, a supporter of the English-only movement, and says that liberalism and same-sex marriage are degrading American culture.
Savage coined the terms "Compassionate Conservative" and "Islamo-Fascist," which have been hijacked by Republican speechwriters and spread like wildfire.
Although his radio delivery is sometimes characterized by a confrontational approach, much of his show involves ruminating on topics such as history, culture (food, books, television), health issues, and personal anecdotes. His show is peppered with such phrases as "liberalism is a mental disorder", and many of his comments have earned Savage the criticism of liberal groups and even some "republocrates".
