First i ask everyone to stop bringing the nazi to every argument. i dont know the right words to describe what they did. We should not compare them to a dumb talk show host. Michael does not know Torah . he is so arrogant , I never heard anyone praise himself so much. He thinks he knows all after reading few lines from the Torah . You cannot debate such a person , he cannot hear you. King Solomon said don’t argue with a fool.

One thing we learn from Michael Savage (may he do teshuvah or burn in purgatory), is that rabbeim and parents need to educate their children on how to answer difficult questions in Judaism with quick speed (not debating). I mean, doesn’t it say in Pirkei Avos that a person should know how to answer an apikoros. Debating missionaries is not a smart thing to do. If a missionary asks a person, “Do you want to hear the words of Jes.?” he should respond politely, “No thank you.” If the missionary persists tell her, “I already have a religion, why don’t you find someone who doesn’t have a religion to follow.” If the missionary wants to provoke a person and starts a debate with a question that’s too difficult for him to answer, he should simply tell her, “Can you please ask someone who is more qualified than me and debate with him?” If the missionary continues debating with you, he should walk away. Believe me it’s worse to try to answer the question that the missionary poses before a person and say, “The reason is…” and stumble in the middle or he answers it and then she asks the person to explain his answer and he doesn’t know how to. Both would cause you to make a fool out of yourself and a chillul Hashem. Also Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan zt”l in his called “The Real Messiah” which talks about missionaries says “The missionaries always switch topics if they feel/ think that you are stumping them. You might feel like you are winning in the beginning, but you will lose in the end (because they will always switch topics in middle)

I am ashamed to admit it, but I occaisionally listen to Michael Savage on the radio. I listen to him for the same reason that so many people (including me) slow down at auto accidents, fascinated by the damage to vehicles and the possibility of a glimpse at a twisted corpse. Mr. Savage is the intellectual equivalent of a hideous auto accident – twisted logic, twisted facts, chaos and human suffering. I find his ignorance and misguided passion so entertaining, like watching a person on crutches falling down stairs. His show is food for the basest part of my soul. I hasten to say that I do not take him seriously – he is a monumental fool, monumentally malicious, monumentally misguided. He is a radio clown – he needs no make-up, and he is, at root, far more sad than funny. I was listening for part of his screed against Bris Milah, and I wondered how his screed would be received by his frum audience.

I have been troubled from time to time when I read YWN commenters referring to him with respect, as if he is an authority for anything other than his own misguided opinions. I therefore consider his shameful and ignorant assault on a cornerstone of Judaism as a warning to frum Jews who respect or share his views (other than on Bris Milah) that nothing he says should be treated as anything other than a perverse form of entertainment.

I understand those who were disappointed with the show and i agree with you.I myself wanted to email a Mr. Michael savage.On the other hand i disagree with what what said in this letter posted above. There were many harsh comments written such as comparing him to a Nazi and the “p.s.” written and the bottom.We Jews must understand we are living in galus and the goyim (and even the secular Jews such as Bloomberg)are out to harm us.I think a follow up apology letter should be sent including a request that that he apologize to the Jewish nation.I am also puzzled as to why this letter was posted to the public,it can lead to lots of damage such as it becoming big news in the social media.
feel free to comment on what i have written.
