From Friday's program: (11/13/15 13:40)
I want to say something briefly and then I'll move along. If Donald Trump continues to attack Ben Carson the way he is currently attacking Ben Carson, I have to affirmatively oppose him. I like the man very much, but the absolute reckless, personal assaults on Ben Carson, who's one of the most decent men you could possibly know. And I only know him from the public airwaves --a truly accomplished man, is simply unacceptable to me; unacceptable to me. I've never heard this kind of slurring of a man of great integrity. That's number one.
Number two, a warning to Marco Rubio. If your little hit squad and your opposition research team is going to put out edited videos of Ted Cruz and lie flat out about the amendment process that took place and suggest that your support of the Gang of Eight and Ted Cruz' adamant opposition to it means that you both were on the same page I can't accept that either.
You've taken your position on the air and otherwise, as I told you some time ago it was a huge mistake, now you have to live with it. But that doesn't mean that Cruz has taken your position. Rejected, not all, but most of your position. That was your decision. Now live with it. But don't smear somebody else and don't think that we're so stupid that we don't know how the amendment process works in the United States Senate.
I had these two men on this week and I'm really troubled and frustrated by what they're doing.
Next week in Paris.
I quite honestly haven’t been following politics much, so this is an honest question even if stupid: Is there any chance that Carson talked about his teen years that way because he wants Black teens to realize there is a path for them to succeed even if they have issues, so that Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, etc don’t have to end up Black Panthers?
Obama has done a lot of damage to race relations, and somebody like Carson, if elected, could have the opportunity to reverse that if they can also get the trust of young Blacks while speaking truthfully to them.
I love the candor and guts that Trump has inserted into the race, and I think he would have the gumption to fight our enemies. I think Cruz, though hated by the establishment, is the most trustworthy candidate for that reason. Each candidate gains my respect as they show they are willing to confront the real enemies, and the more they do that and stay away from PERSONAL swipes at each other, the more I respect them. Ultimately we need the conservative fabric to hold together, if we’re going to fix the mess that Obama’s Islamist/communist handlers lawlessly put him into office to do. Ben Carson was willing to tell the truth about sharia’s enmity with the US Constitution; he’s not my favorite candidate but that earnestness on one of the most major issues in America today commands respect even if other weirdness makes him a less-desirable candidate.
Lying about a candidate and manipulating the evidence, on the other hand, is ALWAYS wrong, and that makes the candidate a no-go to me.
Apparently, voter weren’t too disturbed by Trump. Could be they are used to his style.

I agree. Frankly, Carson IS a kook. No, the pyramids are not grain silos. And his business dealings have been at least as questionable as some of Trump’s. I’m not buying the whole “Mr Integrity” thing.
And the democrats would flay him alive if he wins the nomination.
There is much more material on them that the American people need to know.
I just got banned from Levin's Facebook page for saying basically the same thing. I questioned why he was playing guardian angel for Carson, who backs amnesty, TPP, gun control and other things. I also suggested he may not be as conservative as his blustery talk suggests.
One thing I learned about Levin is that he is a very shallow, vane and insecure person who will not tolerate any disagreement. He runs his Facebook page like a hard line Marxist - any disagreement or even mild criticism of the so called "great one" will not be tolerated.
Totalitarian system will work for a while until people are pushed to extreme, get it and wake up to overthrow it.
Time to return to God and prayers for return to sanity.
Time to stop it NOW!
The Great One, Levin is a tool. And why is pointing out that Carson lies about his past some how “off the table”? Carson is running for president not on issues but on his “life story”. So vetting his “life story” is exactly what is called for. Levin just wants to back the stealth GOPe candidate Ted Cruz. All this fake out rage is just smoke so Levin hope in bed with Cruz.
“but nothing The Donald has said is untrue even though he says it in a way that would make ladies at a garden club faint.”
Bingo. It’s all true...we may not like how he says it, but NOTHING he has said this campaign is untrue. We just can’t handle the truth. That’s why we lose elections.
Trump so far has had a successful strategy of going after his primary opponents, exposing their weaknesses and true positions.
In the process, he has done us a Yuuuuge favor, forcing the establishment puppet masters to come out of the shadows. Allowing all of us to see how different the goals of the GOPe and the voters are.
He can be over the top...BUT...nobody has been as attacked from all sides as he has. He said the 1st two weeks after he announced and criticized illegal immigration, it was brutal on him.
Both conservative and liberal media attacked him, Dems, Republicans and the GOPe. In a nation wide debate he was accused of running a “comic book” candidacy.
Yet he keeps moving up, totally turning the election upside down, and showing the other candidates they don’t have to take it from the media.
Can he improve? Yes, very much so. But we have to give him his due, he has accomplished a lot of his goals, while keeping his powder dry for Hillary.
A good negotiator never gives away any more information than he/she has to. You try to give little and learn a lot from the other side.
Mark can take his warning and shove it. First off Carson is now for citizenship for illegals. Secondly Carson opened the can of worms by exposing his bad behavior way beyond the age of reason which happens to be 6 years old. He was like 14? Mark Levin and Ted Cruz can’t secure the borders. Only Trump can.
I hope that’s changing now. But we seemed doomed to repeat the past.
Rush does not support a candidate in the primary season. This is nothing new. I hate to say it but Sarah is no longer the kingmaker she once was. But the last time I heard from her she was at least admiring of Trump if not out right supporting him. (Is she supporting him?) Not only has Paris not made him irrelevant, it is going to push him to the top of the polls. Unless, of course, the sly press knows that and will suppress continuing info on it.
Why is anyone criticizing Trump's going all-out for the nomination? He's the only one who was mad as hell BEFORE yesterday's attacks.
The kindest description of that remark possible is absurd. I could get far more brutal. The notion that Levin never attacks the liberals and Democrats harshly would be laughable, except that I assume you're an adult and you intentionally made a ridiculous comment that is based on that premise. Shame on you.
‘I just got banned from Levin’s Facebook page for saying basically the same thing. I questioned why he was playing guardian angel for Carson, who backs amnesty, TPP, gun control and other things.’
Because it’s easier to forcibly silence people than to engage them. Bullies have operated on this principle time out of mind.
If you met Levin on neutral territory, where he couldn’t exercise absolute control, he’d probably go with personal attacks, especially on your integrity. Otherwise he’d have to respond to your actual points...and that would be difficult.
Hey, Levin, you’re up there in years. Carson doesn’t think the elderly are worth the time and effort.
Good point. I agree with him to a degree. However, If it comes down to Trump versus hitlery, there will be no choice. I think it’s well thought out. I think Trump is going to get the nod, especially after his fortuitous rant on sending them back? The “Ike” bit. Next day we have the Paris attacks.
Trump gets it, and while I am a Cruz guy, I’m not withholding support for him due to his hardball off the cuff trump like tactics. He is what he is, and we have a country to take back.
“The kindest description of that remark possible is absurd. I could get far more brutal.

Let me do this more slowly then.
When he is able to get the libs to stop political attacks, THEN go and cry over GOP candidates doing the same.
Do you see the left laying off? No? Really? Ok, then.
Now dont demand that someone like Trump put on the white gloves then. I expect him to be ruthless and direct, not to spare the feelings of Carson.
I dont care who Levin is, this was a retarded remark from him...and that is putting it KINDLY.
