by Matt Schneider | 1:44 pm, April 20th, 2011 The conservative claws are coming out for potential Republican candidate for President Donald Trump. Not only has Congresswoman Michele Bachmann declared the story with President Obama’s birth certificate is “over,” but now radio host Mark Levin is tearing Trump apart on his other favorite issues. Comparing Trump’s thinking to President Herbert Hoover, Levin does not mince words for the man he sarcastically refers to as “our new conservative hero.” What prompted Levin’s outrage was Trump failing to defend Republican Congressman Paul Ryan’s budget. Levin played a clip of Trump on NBC vowing to always protect Medicare for senior citizens and saying “I think Paul Ryan is too far out front with this issue, I think he ought to sit back and relax.” When Trump instead suggests the budget problems could be fixed by taking on China and OPEC, Levin stops the clip and angrily yells “What the hell does that have to do with Medicare? Does this guy sound stupid or what?” Levin is outraged over Trump not having any idea about Medicare and demanded to know why “when Medicare is going to collapse Mr. Businessman” you want Paul Ryan to sit back and relax? Levin was on fire as he provided a series of arguments to discredit nearly every perceived benefit of a Trump candidacy. Suggesting Trump’s proposal for a tariff on goods from China is as horrible of an idea as many of Trump’s other past positions, Levin said even if “all your supporters are going to give you a pass on every damn thing you’ve ever said or done” Levin will not be along for the ride. And in his final parting shot, since Trump repeatedly argues his success as a businessman would make him a great President, Levin humorously concludes, “if I follow your logic, Bill Gates ought to be President of the United States because he’s worth ten times what you are too, and yet when it comes to economics and government he’s an airhead just like you.”Mark Levin On ‘Airhead’ Donald Trump: ‘Does This Guy Sound Stupid Or What?’
“Whats the status of congressional approval on the war in Libya for instance?”
And it will only make radical Islam stronger, just like what happened in Egypt. Are they nuts?
Obama NEVER has to defend himself on the birth certificate issue, neither do his compatriots in the Democrat party. They are watching as the Republicans tear themselves apart by splitting them over the issue. Why the Republicans don’t just come out and DEMAND 0bama release his records, so they can get on with other concerns, I don’t know. Just one 1 minute commercial in prime time could nail this issue to the wall. It can be presented in a way as trying to bring the parties to an agreement. Ending a time of bickering as it were.
” Levin did not forget that Trump supported Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio twice.”
I’m so glad Mark reminds us of that.
Trump supports Dems and RINOs.

Levin is a conservative who goes after people who aren't.
You should try that.
“why spend more than a few seconds on Trump?”
Because we don’t want another RINO to win in the primaries, someone even more liberal than McCain.
“But you do know who the “Donald” is.
That’s a problem”
Why is that a problem? It seems like you’re saying I can’t be a member of the club now; nobody’s going to teach me the secret Mark Levin handshake because I’d heard of Trump before I’d heard of Mark Levin. Oh well. I guess reading up on people and looking at them objectively isn’t good enough.
You know whose voice irritates the **** out of me?
Sarah Palin.
but she sure is spot on, on her message.
Nobama is smooth and full of shit.
Mark is right on
Was your looking-at-them-objectively comment about Levin? You've never heard Levin's show.
Uhh...
It was an issue before the election.
This issue is in the dead letter office
“Was your looking-at-them-objectively comment about Levin? You’ve never heard Levin’s show.”
Re-read what I’ve written, please. And then come back and ask me questions about it if you need to. I’ll clarify then if anything still needs to be cleared up.
I told all you folks to vote for Fred Thompson, but he had no fire in his belly.
So AMERRICA voted for the SUPERSTAR
Rope A Dope?
Have you considered that maybe they don't need to defend it and Obama could produce that long form at the right minute and win in a landslide as everyone laughed at the Birthers?
I honestly don't give a damn about the entire birther thing other than insuring that future candidates show their bonifides. But for now, we're stuck with what we got.
Ass hats like Trump only help Obama by deflecting attention from what the guy has done (which we can win on) to where he was born. I don't expect we can win that battle with an electorate that for the most part has never even seen a copy of the Constitution let alone understand the Natural Born clause. Frankly, they don't care, and the courts ain't going to touch it. It's a loser!
I really do think it is a rope a dope. It's an Alinsky tactic --- let them accuse you of something you didn't do, and then prove them wrong at the right time.
I’m gonna say this right here.
Obama is the biggest turd to come down the pike, but Trump aint much better.
He has no respect of the constitution,
They are both just sharks
No common sense, either. Trump is helping the general cause and trashing him accomplishes nothing for the conservative/Republican cause. Palin recognizes that, as do many others.
There are many more months to sort out the eventual nominee.
I like Trump and Levin, keep hammering it Donald. You don’t have to vote for him to like his courage to take on the history of this guy.
Pray for America
Well, if you think calling me a big dope is kind and humble, then I guess Mark Levin is kind and humble.
Nicely said.
>> “If Mark were an honest man he would have researched the birther issue and reported his finding to his listeners.” <<
.
You just proved yourself an idiot.
The birth Certificate is not an issue. The fact that he is not Natural Born is an issue. Why can you not understand that?
Why should Levin waste his time babbling about a diversion, when the constitution is what rules? Levin is this country’s finest constitutional scholar, and knows better than to be hung up on a non-issue.
