Right-wing radio host Michael Savage yesterday blasted Oregon for a recent change in its Medicaid policy to allow coverage for transgender people who have reached the age of medical consent.
Savage, who has frequently railed against transgender individuals like Caitlyn Jenner (and apparently President Obama), said that the move was part of a broader left-wing effort to “eliminate” men.
“I bet more boys will become girls than vice versa and eventually we could become a whole country of girls and then girls will finally get equal pay,” Savage said. “That could be the whole reason behind it. It’s a ‘compassionate’ thing that the maniacs in Oregon are doing, because if they can eliminate males and the nation is all girls in let’s say 50 years, than everything will be perfect, won’t it? Because as you all know, women are better than men, minorities are better than whites. Isn’t that the liberal mantra? All minorities are better than whites. All girls are better than men.”

That's the plan! With all women populations, men's toilets will not be used, so they will become perfect areas to hide government secretes. Like Steel-melting explosives, Birth certificates, Drug dealing rapist Mexicans and the cure for AID's. Wake up Sheepeople!
I guess that gay males don't count as men, for ssome reason (known only to this bloviating douche)?
I mean, we do have the equipment.
"Because as you all know, women are better than men, minorities are better than whites. Isn’t that the liberal mantra?"
No. It's that everyone is created equal. It's what you do from then on that determines your worth. Clearly, your worth is dubious.
I'd rather hear from Dan Savage than Michael Savage.
By the way, Savage and Strange are the two coolest English-language surnames currently in use.
Funny. I'm an Oregon male, and the only transgender person I know is male. So, either we're not eliminating men, or we're doing it about as effectively as our first attempt to implement the Affordable Care Act.

On behalf of the city of Houston, Texas, I would like to apologize for Michael Savage. We aren't quite sure how to get him to stop talking out his ass, and efforts to contain the bullshit have failed.
If he is why we didn't get a space shuttle, I understand.
Michael's apparently gone off the deep end. In his world, people apparently don't choose to change their sex, they are forced into it by the government in order to make the country more feminine.
If there's one thing I wish fundies would learn, it's that not banning something doesn't mean forcing everyone to do it.

Well duh, you're not a real man unless you've slept with at least a dozen women.
Boys don't become girls, nor do girls become boys. They are already girls and boys, just born in the wrong body.
Why would more boys become girls, btw? Is there something about your manhood that you want to share with the group, Mikey?
No, that's not the liberal mantra, silly. EQUALITY is the mantra; "just as good as", not "better than".
I don't even partake of free samples of food at the grocery store. Pretty sure there won't be many people getting a sex change just because they now have the option. Just the ones that were already interested.
Now when medical technology can give us a sex-change-in-a-pill, I can see more adventurous sorts experimenting. That's at least a century or two away, though.
No. We don't like bigotry. Anti-black, anti-white, anti-woman, anti-man, anti-transwoman, &c. But if you seriously think men are in more hot water than women you seriously need a reality check.
@OHP
... Feh.
*grumbles something sexually-related under his breath*
male to female transgendered individuals = equal pay for women?
Michael, whatever you're on it's time to cut back. WAY back.
“I bet more boys will become girls than vice versa and eventually we could become a whole country of girls and,,,"
Honestly. How monumentally stupid is that? Anyone who gives this shit the time of day (or Alex Jones or Beck) needs to explain this shit. How could you possibly listen to such nonsense, how is this complete idiot a media success?
@Canadiest
My suspicion is entertainment/snark value, truthfully. That, or people just leave their radio on and ignore what comes out of it. I admit to having been a former Glenn Beck listener purely because I didn't get enough entertainment from total loons listening to Coast to Coast. Glenn was... OK, think about all of the stupid and insane things he said that got attention, and realize that the rest of what he went on about was around the same level of nuts (or pushing everyone to buy gold). Eventually, even the entertainment value of laughing at the crazy person wasn't enough incentive to listen (that, and he got rather repetitive, so the entertainment value diminished).
Then again, the sound of Michael Savage's voice was enough to get me to turn off the radio almost by reflex, so I could be wrong. Again, on behalf of all Houstonians, we are really, really sorry this ass manages to stay on the air.
So we're never women, only girls. Nice try at a subtle putdown, Wiener, but we can see the fnords. And just what the fuck is so wrong with paying women what their work is worth, rather than tacking on extra pay to a boy's paycheque just for having a penis?
Hey, referring to the opposite sex by a demeaning diminutive is fun! No wonder all the little boys do it!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
