You might get hassled for this post. Of course, I think you are right to point it out. Accountability. Radio talkers say whatever, and it goes down the memory hole. They react to the day to day. Levin has a lot of worthwhile things to say, but this shows the problem of partisan cheerleading. People like Levin think because they hate libs, they need to cheerlead for the GOP. But in the end, if anyone is paying attention, they lose their credibility in the process. Had he been railing about the looming housing crisis in 07, he'd have a leg to stand on.

Plenty of people WERE warning us, but they were mostly people with expertise in economics, not carnival barkers. That guy Brinker on "money talk" was warning about fannie and freddie for years. But he's not a sensationalist. Or a partisan. He has credibility.

All that said, Levin has good things to say. Some lunkheads buy his books and probably learn something. He's several IQ points ahead of Hannity, for what that's worth.

THANK YOU!!!

I bought and read his ‘Men in Black’. The election losses, the economic crash and Peter Schiff opened my eyes. These brain dead talking points get to me, and I swear I was a Levin-bot a year ago. But Both parties told us crap and Schiff predicted the crash and why. Obviously this stuff is not working, people are not drinking it. Yes, Levin is 100X smarter than Hannity.
