I didn't know holdnow was Mark Levin. That explains his post in response to my thread berating Hannity. Hannity gave Levin his national exposure. Of course he'll defend Hannity.
Actually, I believe Rush got Mr Levin in the spotlight before Hannity...I think (I could be wrong) Mr Levin is Rush's famous "F. Lee Levin."
Mark is a stand up guy. I didn’t see the Hannity thread you’re talking about, so I can’t comment.
Rush was the first to give Mark national exposure and Hannity has been good to him in that area so I suspect they are friends.
Mark is a good friend of FR going back to almost the beginning. Those of us who went to Washington for the demonstrations calling for Clinton’s impeachment got to know him fairly well. I know he was at the first two and think he at least stopped by the others. I know quite a few of us had discussions with him on several trips to D.C. I just can't remember which trip was which right now.
In person, Mark is even sharper than he is on the air. He is also gracious and has a quick whit. At the second FR rally, the one on the Capital steps, Mark joined the pre-rally cocktail party and was generous with his time as well as his opinions and support for what we were doing.
I doubt that you can find a single FReeper who was at any rally or event with Mark who has anything but kind words to say about him. He certainly doesn’t deserve to be libeled, especially on this site.
