Nothing to see here folks. Rockstar Energy drink is in no way connected with Michael Savage.

Did you know that Michael Savage’s son is the founder of the popular Rockstar Energy drinks? You didn’t? Well that’s the way the radio shock-jock (to put it nicely) wants it to be. Savage is using legal means to silence Web sites and even Facebook groups publicizing the connection.

“Savage Nation” holds the third-largest

radio audience in the country. Just to be clear, Michael Savage (real

name Michael Weiner) has no connection to Rockstar. Even though his son is the founder and CEO and even though his wife is both secretary and treasurer for Rockstar, Michael Savage is shocked that this would lead some nefarious Web sites such as Gaywired.com to believe he has any role with the company. In fact, as far as we know, Savage has never even heard of the energy drink that shares the same mailbox as his company, Savage Productions.

Savage hired the same law firm that defended O.J. Simpson to go after Gaywired, which first publicized the issue, and after a Facebook group boycotting the drink because of the family connection. Both sites have been accused of libel and forced to make a “immediate public retraction.”
