I don’t get the appeal of this man Beck, nor the squealing Malkin or Levin. There is something annoying about them. They all seem very arrogant (though often right on the issues).

Rush is arrogant, too, but he’s funny and tongue-in-cheek about it. Maybe it’s their humorless approach that grates on me.

I love Malkin and Levin, in part because they're not always trying to inject humor into things. I'm over the humor. This is serious business. It's time for the yuk-yuks and the "my good friend, even though we disagree" crap to end. In fact, I can't watch Ann Coulter anymore for just that reason. If she'd stop laughing and start slicing and dicing, I'd watch her again. Malkin has a sense of humor--that's clear to me--but she doesn't continually inject it into her arguments. As a result, her arguments are lethal to the Left.

Hugh Hewitt said that he wouldn't appear on the same platform with Beck. I think it is because Hewitt is too buttoned down, and Beck, too unpredictable. But Hewitt sometimes is too rigid, calling himself, "Rule of law Conservative", when there is no, "rule of law", on the other side.

Beck and Levin can get to what folks are really thinking even though they don't want to say anything out loud. Somehow Hewitt and Levin are close friends. When I listen to Levin, I chuckle at the times he must make buddy Hewitt cringe, and I chuckle at how the often smug Hewitt must be annoyed at Beck, when Beck with all his rhetorical warts, shows unique insight. And this, from listening to Hewitt goes way over his head.

As to Malkin, her angry shtick is often useful on some issues, but sometimes she goes too far...

Beck is overly dramatic. Right on the basics, but always trying to pretend like he has the course of history in his hands.

I’ve never heard Manikin’s show.

Rush basically does the same show every day. I could hear one from 1993, 1998, 2002, 2008, and 2013 and outside of names, I wouldn’t know the difference. But I do miss it sometimes.

Levin is the only one I really do listen to because he is actually serious about wanting to do something. Not just marveling at how awful the other side is. I just cant stand the callers on there.
