So I understand the concept of the freedom of speech. And Michael Savage definitely takes that to his advantage. But what of ethics? True, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but in saying that, I do not believe that it is alright for someone to be shelling out names such as “slut” when having a conversation with another person with valid points, but an opposing opinion. When it comes to Savage, its either his way or the highway which seems very closed minded to me. I cannot even fathom the reason to which this man gets so much attention and why people listen to radical, ridiculous points he has to make. Although some of his points may be considered valid, he does not accept the other side to the issue, and he takes his argument overboard, calling judges “Nazis,” etc. I do believe in the freedom of speech, however I think that even though it is our right, it is also our duty to live and speak by good ethics, and clearly Michael Savage has no understanding of that. He takes things to the extreme, saying that people with certain opinions have mental disorders or something of the sort which I find pretty ridiculous.
