At least he's contrite about it, after the fact (never mind the link, it's a short article and I'll quote it all here):
Talk-show host Michael Savage claims he didn't know that he was on the air when he told a caller to his cable TV show that he was a "sodomite" who should "get AIDS and die."

That's an easy mistake to make. Remember when Reagan announced the missiles were on their way to Russia? Maybe Savage has Alzheimer's. He should get Alzheimer's and die!!
Savage, who was fired by MSNBC Monday morning, apologized for the incident - and bashed the news network - on his national radio show that night.

"MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for catering to a mistake like this," said Savage, who claimed he signaled for a crank caller to be taken off the air before launching into what he said was supposed to be a private tongue-lashing.

I think MSNBC IS ashamed of themselves for catering to the mistake that is Michael Savage. He should be aborted and die!!
"They're fools, they're just fools, and that's why TV sucks," Savage said.

I didn't want to go out with you, anyway! I was just saying that to make you feel good about yourself. Your hair looks stupid that way.
The blustery conservative offered this apology: "It was not meant to reflect my views of the terrible tragedy and suffering connected with AIDS."

I don't know how anyone could possibly think his views of AIDS was anything less than wholly sympathetic.
