More on "The Caller". Media terrorism. I love it.





SacTicket // TV/Radio // Savage fired after anti-gay remarks to Yolo County man



...Foster was readily available to talk about Savage, whose TV show he'd phoned once before.



"I called him a racist that time, and he went off," Foster says. "It was such an overwhelming reaction, I had to do it again.



"Some people think I was out to get him. But I wasn't. I'm a talk-radio fan. I appreciate what he does, despite his opinions. But he was taking phone calls on national TV, and I wanted to mention Don and Mike."



Foster, who has prank-called everybody from Larry King to Don Imus, says while the response from Savage fans has been brutal ("They hate me," he says), he's also received more than a few words of support.



"I've actually gotten more mail in favor of what I did," he says. "I've been getting a lot of thank-you mail from gay-rights advocates.



"Savage definitely has issues with the gay-rights movement. What I said had nothing to do with gays. He just interjected that. He has a lot of gay protesters, and I think that was on his mind."
