I have had my oown disagreements on FR with Mr. Levin, and I did know who he was, but perhapas other people don't pay as close attention as you and I do.
There was SOME element of racism in this by a few people, and the left definitely exploited that aspect of it. I think saying it had no part of the reaction is simply being unrealistic. I am not accusing you of such, but some of those newspaper cartoons definitely were, and of course, most of the papers are left-leaning.
The "ports deal" is confusing to me. I couldn't even begin to debate it with any confidence , so I lurk and read the comments and exchanges.
And with all due respect, MM..I still conclude that bayourant had to have known he was speaking with Mark Levin, because in reality he honestly is not a dummie..far from it.
He just plays the race card when he is losing..IMHO :)

And remember the cartoons of Condi Rice. If they had been of Maxine Waters, the left would have been up in arms.
I'm with you. I haven't posted here much recently. When holdonow posted a response to me a few days ago, I had no idea he was Levin. Now, in retrospect, his post makes more sense. Why should posters here be expected to assume they're communicating with a talk show host? I suppose those who are regulars would know. I would just assume that most high profile people would not want to disclose who they are and, unless I were very familiar with a poster, I'd be skeptical of anyone who claimed to be a public figure.
