At first I thought you were referring to Dan Savage which would have made my post in response very strange, indeed.

I love Dan Savage. He recently replied to an email I sent to the Stranger. He even flirted with me. You know, in a gay way.

As to the OP, I'm not a fan of conservative talk radio.

I love Savage (mostly for entertainment purposes). He sure pushes the envelope. He seems slightly paranoid and is definitely a big cynic but so am I, kind of. I think he's right-on a lot of the time and just drawing attention at other times.

The Libs hate him, so he must be doing something right (for conservatism). It isn't really a secret that he's semi bigoted and a bit of a xenophobe but if you look at the reasoning for his mistrust and less-than thrilled opinions on illegal immigration and the iconoclast of our heritage by the PC left, I think he has valid fears/disdain.

While I don't agree with everything that he says, and I haven't (had the chance to) listened to his show in a while, I find it refreshing that he doesn't care what lines he crosses. He says what he means/means what he says I find that respectable. I'd say he's most likely and NTJ. Some people compare him to Limbaugh which is laughable, Limbaugh is an idiot.

Overall it's a rare treat when I listen to his show in it's entirety.

^He is very stubborn and opinionated, but a very smart guy and articulate. It is a treat to listen to him, I agree. He is based in San Francisco (I think he loves to be hated) and when I was living there I tried to listen often. I'd say he probably is an ISTJ, possibly an INTJ...

It's too bad my connection is far too slow to stream a youtube video, I'd really like to see that. I can definitely see him as an ISTJ, he comes off as an Enneagram type 8 as well.

^Sorry you can't stream video. It's O'Reilley talking to Savage about his view and opinion on secularism being forced on the country. It was just one of the first results on youtube when I typed in Savage's name.

Here's Savage shutting down Charles Barkley in a video debate. lol

YouTube - Barkley VS. Savage 2003

P.S. I don't think he is an N, I'm pretty sure he's S.

Yeah, I change my answer. I think he is an ISTJ. He is the modern Joseph McCarthy for sure. The same sensationalized anti-socialistic perspective. They have infiltrated the government and are trying to destroy religion and the American Family! :rofl1:

The guy is a riot. It's a pity that McCarthy didn't have "Islamo Facists" to scapegoat.

^Yeah, how could I guess that you wouldn't like him Kiddo. :dry: J/K!!!

I like him. Although sometimes he does go a little berserk.

So I don't agree with everything he says. But the modern day Joseph McCarthy? Give me a break.

Anyway, as far as type is concerned: ENFJ maybe. Not really sure.

^You aren't a Savage listener apparently, no offense. haha. He's always talking about how he hates people and he's a hermit, so that'd make him an introvert.

I am actually. And I've never heard him say he's a hermit.

Have heard him say that he hates people though. :yes:

But being an extrovert doesn't mean that you are outgoing, per se. Its just how one gets his/her energy.

^You're right. I do think Savage is highly introverted myself though, however, I could always be wrong. It has happened before.

I dunno that I've heard him use the term hermit exactly but he has, on more than one occasion talked about how he lives - rarely going out/socializing, likes to be alone and enjoys hanging out with his best friend (his dog).

I think it's a pretty good comparison. He believes the government is being controlled by socialists whose goal it is to destroy religion and the American family and he uses the media to spread those sensationalized views. How is that any different than what McCarthy did? He even brings people on his show and cuts them off if they do anything but agree with him, exactly like McCarthy used to during Congressional hearings.

He usually gives the caller a good argument and a chance to bury them self, actually.

And some people do believe that the leftists' movement of throwing out morals and ethics that this country once found important is destroying religion and in turn family. How is that nonsensical? Maybe some of the social values that are under scrutiny today don't bother you, but to some it is an upheaval.

I was watching him on youtube, and he would usually bully someone into a position that he knew was undefendable and then immediately cut them off. That is not what I call a good argument.

Do you have a link handy for that video?
