Green eyed monster effect against Beck from our side.
The reasons are well known to everyone: Frum is a gonadless weasel
Hannity is remarkably icy toward Beck ( I’ve never heard him mention him). I attribute a lot of that to commercial reasons. As Hannity and Levin are pals, maybe Levin is just picking up for Hannity.
Great. In-fighting. So productive.
Why can’t Levin and the rest of them just leave Beck alone? They don’t have to defend him, just leave him alone.
It pains me when I hear Mark talk about the 5 PMer as if he were some sort of pariah. Levin can keep congratualting himself for his good writing, but the way I learned it the congratulating is supposed to come from other people. Horowitz is a great example of this. As good as his books are, I never hear him chirping about them. (Advertisements don't count.) Radical Son, especially, has turned several people I know away from the dark side.

Dave Horowitz and Beck are a formidable duo. I’ve read Horowitz since “Destructive Generation”—I doubt that ACORN would be in the trouble its in right now without Horowitz.
Beck inflicts pain on the left.
Frum licks their face.
Frum is Canadian.
CA....
Levin is wrong on this one. He fails to grasp that the sooner things fail the better. Most Conservatives have figured out that you can’t change mind numbed loser lefty robots. They have to die. Better by their own undoing and the sooner the better.
Frum is a loser, and he always has been.
As for the rest of it, I happen to think that Beck is wrong that McCain would be worse than Obama.
But it’s not as if he is shilling for Obama. It’s not as if he thinks Obama is a good guy.
I think most of us here agree that McCain would be a really LOUSY president, and that he would be all the more damaging because he would wreck the Republican party even more than its current leaders have managed to do. Those of us who supported him and voted for him did so with few illusions, in the realization that we would have to drag him into the White House kicking and screaming and then fight him every day for the next four years. Because we knew Obama would be EVEN WORSE.
Obama is an agent from Hell. He is a Communist-Muslim-America-hater, determined to destroy our country and the entire West.
So, bad as McCain would have been, Obama is worse. So I think Beck was wrong to say that. Big deal. we can agree to disagree. And maybe he was just exaggerating to make a valid point—that McCain is really, really lousy. So, why waste time attacking Beck? How about focusing on the real problem, our country’s enemy, Obama?
The Grate One lost a lot of listeners this week. He has a face for radio but not the voice.
Frum is not a conservative
The first time I ever heard Mark Levin, it was an audio clip of him and Sean Hannity calling in to a radio show that had Alec Baldwin as a guest. Now I can’t stand Alec Baldwin, but the Hannity/Levin ambush was one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever heard from supposed conservatives. As they both attacked Baldwin for being overweight and having marital problems, I was taken aback by the pathetic childishness of the two, particularly Levin, who Baldwin accurately characterized as Hannity’s “toadie”. It took me a long time to come around to liking Mark Levin again; but his petty, jealousy-ridden animosity towards Glenn Beck is the final straw. In my eyes Mark Levin is simply “The Toadie”.
I wouldn’t think Levin would stoop to that.
I heard Beck trashing the whole republican party for 15 min on his show the other day. That is ridiculous and a slap to the conservatives that are working hard to take the party back from the elitist. Beck is constantly attaching every positive movement to himself. I see him as a self promoter. How about giving credit to Andrew Breitbart for the Acorn uncovering?
As for the 912 rally. He quickly adopted it as his own also. Funny, I once heard him say he would not attend as he was fearful someone would do or say something silly and he would be attached to it. I was there along with my wife. I can attribute it to Mark Levin for motivating me to get involved. Levin has convictions and foresight, Beck seems to wonder in this or that direction from day to day. Also, I see no mention in the posts above of all the hard work Mark’s Landmark Legal Foundation has done for our cause over the many years.
Why is Frum thought of as being a conservative?
Undeniably true analysis with Horowitz's usual laser-beam ability to get to the heart of an issue:
The battle to stop Obama from ramming through a socialist health care system is one that Sarah Palin is leading. That’s the fact. If you don’t want Obama care, she’s the most potent force standing in its way. Do I think that government rationing of health care leads to the equivalent of “death panels?” Of course they do. And calling them that – even though at this stage they’re more of a goal than a reality – was brilliant politics. The Republican Party needs more of this not less.
I will side with Beck, hands down. Hannity is a RINO.
That is why I don’t care for Hannity.
