Apalling

These comments by conservative radio host Michael Savage are so appalling.

I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.

I think Savage should take his own advice and stop acting like a putz, straighten up, act like a man, and don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot. It is obvious that Savage rarely escapes his perfect little box.

As a teacher, some of my most fulfilling moments have come from working with autistic children. Michael Savage's life would be touched if he would spend just 5 minutes volunteering in a classroom of autistic children.

**Update**
Here's some audio of Savage's comments...


Savage appeared on Larry King Live last night with guest Glen Beck where Savage's claimed that he is just a defender of the defenseless.
