“...there are way too many Levinites here tonight. They believe him to be “the great one” because he bullies people and pontificate about his supposed allegiance to the Constitution and his listening audience buys it...”
True, but people can listen to, and enjoy, a variety of talk radio hosts without buying into their game so far that they are duped. For example, I heard Levin’s bizarre threats to Rand Paul, saw this thread, and finally figured out what was going on after reading another thread on this forum regarding Rand Paul’s calling ex-senator Santorum on his record including Santorum’s support for no-child-left-behind, Medicare Part D, fiscal irresponsibility, and it suddenly made sense. Santorum is Levin’s boy, a fellow-Philadelphia lawyer and Rand had said the truth. Levin harbors a desire for a big Iowa surprise for Santorum, and is afraid Rand Paul’s credibility as a Tea-party fiscal conservative might interfere with that dream.
Too bad Levin felt compelled to go all gangsta tonight.
Spot on assessment ngat. Though I really wish those who listen to Levin defend the Incorporation Doctrine - which by the way has all but gutted the purpose of the Bill of Rights - would actually read the Constitution and Bill of Rights before slamming Rand Paul just because Levin says so.
