(Vanity) Mark Levin is over the top

vanity

[Bill S]

I’ve been listening to Mark Levin every day for many years. I have bought and read every one of his books. Have given a couple of his books to my recent college graduate granddaughters. I signed up for LevinTV on the first available day. We are a 3 generation family of solid constitutional conservatives including the recent college graduates. However, since the wonderful election of Donald Trump, Mark has nightly ranted against some of the cabinet choices or possible choices. He’s questioned Trump’s policies, etc. He rants against the incoming administration more than the evil Dems. In short I find it nearly impossible to listen to Mark lately, My family members feel the same, We’re trying to enjoy the fantastic Trump victory, but Mark is way over the top with his diatribes. I can feel my blood pressure rise listening to him.Why can’t he comment on the appointments calmly and let’s see how the policies are formed. Does any other Levin fan feel the same way.

[Wolfie]

Read my words again, slowly if necessary:

We have yet to see how these appointees will perform, but if it becomes the same old, same old, I won’t vote for Trump again.

I voted for Trump. Enthusiastically. But I won't join another cult of personality like the ones that let Bush take his country into the toilet, and let Obama plunge it down even further. If Trump doesn't deliver, he loses me next time. That's not whining, that's reality.

He’s raising legit points. Trump supporters made the same complaints about Cruz, but for some reason they’re OK if Trump does it. Heidi worked for Goldman Sachs, oh the horror. Now Trump appoints a Goldman Sachs guy and suddenly the topic is taboo? Even goes further and picks someone who worked for Soros... and we aren’t supposed to notice?
All leaders need to be watched carefully when they appear to veer from the path, and it’s better to criticize before a bad idea gets set in stone.
If it bothers you that someone’s opinion differs from yours here and there, just turn the station to one that only agrees with your point of view. Otherwise just take stomach acid pill and tough it out.

From Othello:

But jealous souls will not be answered so.
They are not ever jealous for the cause,
But jealous for they are jealous. It is a
monster Begot upon itself, born on itself.

It's not that Levin has something to be angry about, it's that Levin is angry.

Anger as lubricant to pedagogy is tiresome, and ultimately unlistenable.
Coupled with the added anger of having been so wrong on the election,
he daily fights his own irrelevance.

[jch10]

We’ve been talking about this since last winter. I, and many, had enough and left Mark to bad mouth Trump without us.

[jch10]

Of course. Conservatives hold all office holders accountable! They have to do what they say they will.

[wardaddy]

You listen everyday and you just noticed he’s unhinged and very selective in his conservatism

He south bashes a bit even though we were his strongest audience

He was vicious to Trump

And he hurls the anti Semite smear with at times reckless abandon just to silence detractors just like the left does

“There I said it”

I was an earnest listener and book buyer till fall 2015

That did it for me

He’s an asshole just to throw the truth out there

He should have watched his buddy Rush on how to have threaded the Trump needle

[Georgia Girl 2]

I was never wild about the guy but this year he has been intolerable. I’m taking a break from Rush also. Trump is trying to do everything these two have been crying about but they are now fighting it.

[MinuteGal]

Looky here....

[wardaddy]

Levin did everything to stop Trump he could up until end of October

Does no one listen here to what they write about

A disassociated thread with disassociated replies

Let me clarify about talk radio and Trump

Of the big 20

Sean first and foremost

Laura Ingraham huge Trumper

Savage in his weird way

Rush parsed and waffled and ended up at the end looking like he was always on Trump team even though it was obvious that like brother he was not but he pulled it off and now is Trumps biggest voice every day out ther. That’s why he’s El Rushbo and just imagine if he untied that one arm...I listen to all of them daily. ...nobody can just talk on and on unscripted like he does except Trump. They are a match made in heaven

Anyhow that’s pretty much it

Bannon on Sirius of course supported Trump as did Rose and Bauer pretty much

But most talk radio did not and some were very very very shifty about it

Levin and Medved and Michael Berry come to mind

It sure told us who our friends were

[Leep]

Mark Steyn did i hear right? He is starting his own radio show?
Laura Ingraham
Herman Cain is still on the air.
RedEye Radio
Small doses of Michael Savage
Rush Limbaugh once in awhile.

[stocksthatgoup]

Turn your radio down!

[Guardian Sebastian]

Isn’t it quite funny that during the election no one could name even one accomplishment of Hillary’s. Here we have someone who isn’t even sworn in as President yet, or ever having held any public office, accomplishing all kinds of things.

[NorthMountain]

I appreciate his counterpoint to the “Trump Can Do No Wrong” crowd.

[lodi90]

He’s raising legit points. Trump supporters made the same complaints about Cruz, but for some reason they’re OK if Trump does it. Heidi worked for Goldman Sachs, oh the horror.

The problem is you are presuming guilt in Trump after presuming innocence in Saint Ted. The fact is Cruz had a track record: dishonestly campaigning to enable Goldman Sachs lobbyist written TPP. The fact is President-elect Trump has killed it. Therefore, Trump has earned the benefit of the doubt.

[Electric Graffiti]

"Yesterday Levin made a big point that Trump received no mandate, which only weakens his efforts to force the changes.

I guess a mandate is in the eye of the beholder right Levin?

The consequence of this election was plain to any rational American. With a Hillary win, the United States was finished.

This election was about American patriots vs TRAITORS.

Anyone who took shots at Trump the second after he won the Republican nomination chose to aid team Satan and the death of America.

Their reputations and careers are over. To hell with them.

[JimRed]

Question is, is it sour grapes, or hold-his-feet-to-the-fire inspiring the rants? There is room for a loyal opposition.

[JimRed]

He needs to go find a real job.

Are you kidding? He loves what he is doing and gets paid to do it. Can't beat that deal with a stick!

[kailbo]

Levin is unlistentoable lately.

[Fantasywriter]

‘He even stood by Trump during the Billy Bush drama.’

What was Levin supposed to do? Throw his support to Hillary?

[sargon]

Exactly. Odd that so many here in this conservative site have a problem with it.

OMG what a crock of sh!t.

Levin has been slanted, unfair, disingenuous, and gleefully parroted every single talking point of the #NeverTrump and Left wing clowns, ad nauseum.

Levin hasn't even the slightest veneer of objectivity anymore. His butthurt shines through every syllable he utters.

Levin's ratings will continue to tank, and deservedly so, until he wakes up to reality.

You Cruz fanboys live in an alternate universe...
