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.

I guess the point is moot as Jim has spoken, but I still think that bayourant honestly believed that Mark said what he thought he said. I had to listen to the tape 3 times to really understand him and bayourant only listened to it once. I thought he called the General a mudball at first and hey mudball - dirtbag, not much of a difference there.

When holdonnow first came in the thread I thought he was a lunatic. I've been reading the board since 2000 and I didn't know he was Mark Levin. If he had been posting to me like that I would have told him to shove off. I thought bayourant was being as nice as he could be to the lunatic poster.

I think bayourant acted in misunderstanding and confusion and I think it's a shame that he got banned so quickly, but it's Jim's board and we are all his guests here and I appreciate having this board to come to. I'll trust Jim's judgement and sense of fairness even if I don't really understand it.

Since you seem to be a Levin expert, can you explain or justify without leaving the bounds of credulity, why Levin lumped me in with bayourant as someone who uses FR to repeatedly lie?

I got all night.
