I should mention that Beck has never gone after Mark Levin. Rather Beck has called out Republicans and Rinos. Thus that mixed in with his rise in both talk radio and Fox News has brought out the claws from Levin. Rush has decided to butt out as he never talked in his 20 plus years about others for the most part in Conservative talk radio. But Rush had Levin on when Levin wrote his Conservative Manifesto book and somewhere there is a picture of Rush and Beck together. In fact at one point Rush said he credits himself for the rise of new people in talk radio like Glenn Beck.
Well not to get off track, but Rush did dance around the notion of both bad republicans and 3rd parties once, following Beck CPAC speech. The left used it to mean Rush bashed Beck. But he really didn’t. Beck was bashing Rinos and not advocating a 3rd party.
From a leftist site:

The tone of both Levin and Limbaugh suggest they were less than thrilled at Beck’s conservative bashing/reality check (videos of all three below).
Said Rush:
I would not have said that the only people who can stop Obama should be excoriated for being just as bad…It would never occur to me to say that. I don’t know what the objective would be.
Levin’s tone was equally low key though his criticism had a sharper edge to it. He advised Beck to stop acting like a clown and to “be careful playing footsie with the mainstream media…they will promote so they can destroy you.” Levin also pushed back at Beck’s criticism of the right: “Stop dividing us…Republicans deserve reinforcements.”
They took a passage from Limbaugh but not the context. Well, anyways I see this as no different than when Michael Savage and Neal Boortz said things that offended others on the same side.
Personally, I tend to agree with people like Dana Loesch, Mark Steyn, Monica Crowley and Glenn Beck. I don’t always agree with Mark Levin. I’ve gone out of my way at times to defend people I don’t always agree with including Hannity. But of late since I am very anti Rino have started to dislike the behavior of Hannity in regards to John McCain and other things
.
Everyone has different opinions. I personally can’t keep up with everyone. So I sometimes skip shows and don’t have time to listen. But I do what I can. Mainly catch Rush if I can and Glenn Beck or read blogs.
Hence that is why I like this site because it keeps me updated.
Thanks for more details.
I don’t listen to radio and get most news here.
(Don’t have the $ for a good radio, out in my remote valley it’s almost impossible to get anything except NPR and a local station that is also not worth listening to.)
