Medved is not a conservative, I listened to him some years ago after Obama was elected and Medved could not wrap his mind around the face that Obama was a Closet Marxist and a Muslim. Will not listen to him. Gave up on Levin, Rush and a number of others.
I have been listening to Michael Savage lately and he is like a breath of fresh air and ordered his new book to read.
I lived in Seattle when Medved started at KVI radio back in the 1990’s. I actually talked with him at length at a KVI picnic one day. Somehow we found ourselves waiting for something at an abandoned picnic table away from the crowd. I’ve believed, for many years, that whether I agree with him or not, he’s very smart and you spar with him at your peril.
But he lost me with his early uber support of Romney and it was cemented in the last few months. It’s not just what he believes that is the problem. It is the reasons he gives.
He seems to be politically pragmatic at all costs. In a way, he’s like Dagney Taggart in Atlas Shrugged, always willing to roll with the punches the government throws, never stopping to think that a line has been crossed and he is part of the problem.
It’s as though, if this were the Titanic, he would drown while bailing water off the top deck because the company is sending a ship that will be here any minute.
