More Savage conservatism

In yet another remarkable twist in the story, Michael Savage, instead of facing up to his own remarks, is blaming another radio show for them. He now claims that the man he called a sodomite and whom he hoped would get AIDS was put up to it by or somehow working for the Don and Mike Show.

But even if this is true, how does it change the nature of Savage's remarks?

Let's see… it's OK to call someone a sodomite and tell him to go die of AIDS if it turns out he works for another radio show? (Please explain, someone… anyone!)

In any case, Don and Mike deny involvement. Here is Don and Mike's answer (you have to scroll down and click on the article, and I am not sure how long it will be there):

The Westwood One duo insisted during their Tuesday afternoon show that they didn't know the caller who phoned in to Savage's MSNBC show and who mentioned their names. Don Geronimo said he'd never even heard of Savage before his firing from MSNBC, and Mike O'Meara added that Savage "needs to make this go away as soon as possible. The more he keeps dwelling on us setting up a caller, the more we're going to have to come in here and talk about it." Geronimo noted that what's upsetting him is the association of Savage's comments with his and O'Meara's show. "There is a story in the national press about a stupid disc jockey wishing AIDS and sodomy on someone, and in a roundabout way — which really isn't roundabout — the disc jockey who did it is blaming us for it," Geronimo said. "That's my problem."

Does this mean Savage isn't a conservative? (Or is that a rhetorical question?)
