Conservative radio host Mark Levin unloaded on Chris Wallace last night on his show for his awful attack on Michele Bachmann. Levin said Michele Bachmann has a higher IQ than Obama even before his cocaine using days.
Mark Levin said Wallaces apology was not sincere. It wasnt. In fact it took 30 hours for Wallace to finally call Michele Bachmann and apologize over the phone. The Right Scoop reported:
Levin was not happy with the way Wallace basically called Bachmann a flake yesterday and said we must respond if we want these unfair attacks on conservatives to stop. He defended Bachmann by talking about her career and suggested that she probably has a higher IQ than Obama, even before he used cocaine. Ouch!
He goes on to say that there is no way Wallace would have referred to a liberal, especially a minority in those terms and goes even further to say that the only reason Wallace apologized is because the people rose up in anger, not because of his own sensibilities.

Chris is just trying to live up to his dad’s reputation as a first class prick.
To the barricades!.....
Even Bret Baier mentioned on Special Report yesterday than FNC received "many hundreds of angry emails" in response to Wallace's disrespectful question. Fox got an earful, that's for sure. Wallace "apologized" for business reasons only. FNC is engaged in an all-out war on the conservative candidates (and one particular prospective candidate).
The audio is good...Mark explains that she was right on the 10 amendment and A constitutional amendment...
I don’t mind hard, or even unfair questions, asked of our political candidates. However, I also want somebody to ask Obama if he’s destroying the economy on purpose because of his Marxist upbringing, or if he’s just stupid?
“Flake? Well I did agree to come on your show and waste time answering your questions, so I guess there is some justification for doubting my judgment.”
Mark is a FReeper.
Thank you Mark!
Fact of the matter is that wuss would never have asked the same question of a liberal, despite being justifiable by their words and deeds. Levin is right... Wallace was intentionally looking to demean Bachman and nothing could convince me otherwise.
Of course Ms. Bachman has a higher IQ than Obama.
Obama gives good speech as long as it is written down for him -double spaced on his TOTUS.
Me too. After all, the bottom line reason Wallace gave for asking Bachmann "are you a flake?" is: "That's what 'people' are saying". bttt
Bravo Mark! Will have to listen to the podcast this evening.
Wallace is so flaky he should come in a box with a tiger on it.
I feel like I just described Jethro Bodine from an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies. Sophisticated!
Obama: '10,000 People Died' in Kansas TornadoRICHMOND, Va. Barack Obama, caught up in the fervor of a campaign speech Tuesday, drastically overstated the Kansas tornadoes death toll, saying 10,000 had died.
The death toll was 12.
"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died an entire town destroyed," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser.
FNC advertisers also need to get an earful.
When the guys who pay the freight start abandoning them, Fox might get their minds right.
I'm really beginning to despise Fox news. In fact, the only reason I turn them on any longer is because I despise them only slightly less than the other blab-blab-blab urban east-coast networks.
If they think they can't suffer the same fate as the MSM counterparts they replaced they're going to be in for a very rude awakening.
I agree. She obviously has a higher I.Q. But maybe we should start asking, “Does it matter”? Every conservative is said to be dumb by the left and every liberal is said to be brilliant, no matter how many dumb things they do or say. Unless there is a new requirement that these pols take I.Q. tests and reveal the results, it remains one of these yes I am, no you’re not sorts of arguments. I think a winner is to maybe point out how often really smart people can make really poor leaders, how being the smartest isn’t necessarily what we need. I’d rather have someone who is plenty smart, has lots of life experiences, lots of common sense and is very centered than someone who is off the charts smart, but indecsisive, lacking common sense, insecure in who they are, etc.
It was a bit out of line, but to term it an “awful attack” is going a little overboard here. The more it’s discussed, the more it remains a distraction. Wallace called Bachmann at her home (during supper, she said) and apologized to her directly, and she accepted the apology.
This should be a done deal now.
