Is it just me

Posted on 08/09/2011 3:05:02 PM PDT by Strk321

Or has FR become the Mark Levin Fan Club? I posted a thread about Michael Savage last week and got 50 comments about how he sucks and he's only useful for entertainment value and how Levin is a genius and how Savage doesn't believe in the Constitution or the rule of law except for himself and all that.

Srsly, Levin is as or more rude to callers than Savage and he also has a really annoying voice.

Live and let live among the conservatives.

I agree. I simply don't listen to radio, so I'm not a fan of either one. Nor do I listen to Rush, though I like him and his viewpoints. I'm just not big on radio.

Levin is a Conservative FReeper... savage is an bitter and insane man.

Humans will go tribal and form irrational allegiances and enmities at the drop of a hat. That’s what keeps the sports world humming. Don’t sweat it.

No, it’s not just you.

Mark Levin is a whiner. I do not listen to him, but stating such will result in lots of flaming.

Savage can be very good. His insight is very good. (Levin's knowledge, especially of history and the law is better; but knowledge and insight are not the same thing.) Only Rush is comparable in insight IMHO. But Savage frequently goes off the deep end or into esoteric topics which only rarely interest me. So I start with Savage but frequently migrate to Levin. They both have their pluses and minuses.

Personally I was a big fan of Savage, but in the summer of 2009 I happened to be working up in the Catskills. For some reason what few stations I could tune into only broadcast Savage. It seemed all he talked about was how he was banned in the UK and how unfair it was , on other nights he’s just go off on a tangent about restaurants in San Fran or music or whatever suited him. I just got sick of him and his tangents.

C’mon, Michael. You’re not fooling us.

I like both of them - neither is available live on radio in this area, but I listen to Mark in the AM from his website before Rush comes on.
Savage will be nice if the caller mentions dogs or boating - either one can be an a-hole at times, just like most of us.

Savage is ok sometimes but usually I can take Levin a lot longer than I can handle Savage.

I do give credit to Savage when he calls b.s. and is frequently right - i.e. the LaCross players...etc and his support of some of the servicemen has been good.

But geez...some of the screaming is just not what I want to hear.

Several years back, at times I found Levin to be him too much, but given the new paradigm in which we find ourselves, I find Levin and Limbaugh to be the only ones telling truth. He is hard-hitting, he is rarely incorrect and corrects if he reports incorrectly. I think he feels time is of the essence, and he doesn’t have time for pleasantries.

He allows listening of his podcasts for free. BTW, Levin loves FR, always says positive things about the site.

Savage is half idiot, half genius

Too bad most of the time it’s hard to tell the difference which half is speaking

“into esoteric topics which only rarely interest me.”

I know he sometimes likes to get into religion or literature. Henry Miller doesn’t interest me, but Savage always does religion very well. The last such show was when he talked about the murdered Jewish boy in NY, which (IMO) was one of his best recent shows.

What do you think about the Marilyn Monroe statue in Chicago?

Was she related to Dr Marvin Monroe?

Savage always says he spends 12 or something hours a day online, but he’s never mentioned FR to my knowledge. Occasionally some of the liberal troll hutches like Huff and Puff.

I have heard Savage, but he often covers topics in which I have no interest...

I’ve lived in both cities; SF & NYC. Savage used to trumpet that he liked living in SF because it was the belly of the beast. It helped him. Now, I think it’s gotten to him. He need to move back to Manhattan. As far as Levin goes, he is more logical, where Savage is more esoteric (still arriving at logical conclusions, though). I don’t prefer either. Savage is better after a martini. Levin is better after dinner.

Levin has home court advantage here on FR since he’s a freeper and many times engages his fans on their thread and posts periodically on other threads. Savage is more aloof and does not engage his fans in any kinda way unless he’s bashing them, lol. He does know about FR and has referred to it on his website before.
