On his radio show Thursday night, conservative talker Mark Levin scorched his former radio competitor Michael Savage for attacking fellow conservative talkers.
The feud seemed to cool off after Savage, who used to go head-to-head against Levin in the 6 p.m. EST time slot, left the Talk Radio Network and was picked up by Cumulus, the same company that distributes Levin’s show. Savage now hosts the time slot following Levin’s, from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. EST.
But in January the fight was reignited, with the two trading shots over the airwaves.
In this latest chapter of the saga, Levin took on Savage for attacking two of his colleagues, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
“I’m thinking of doing a one-hour special on the life and times of Michael Weiner,” Levin said. “Little Weiner, Weiner Nation calls himself ‘Savage,’ changes his name but you can’t blame him. He’s named after male genitalia. He is a real cancer on this business. He is a phony, fake conservative. All you have to do is Google his name and Google ‘Allen Ginsburg’ and Google ‘Fiji’ and all kinds of stuff pops up.”
“Now he goes on the airwaves and he trashes a couple of my friends — Rush [Limbaugh], Sean [Hannity] claiming they’re not conservative enough, you know, like him,” Levin continued. “I don’t know, I’ve never seen Weiner Nation at a tea party rally. I’ve never seen Weiner Nation helping the conservative movement.”
Levin encouraged Savage to return to his old 6 p.m. time slot so he could face him head-to-head once again and raised the possibility of a one-hour special based on Savage.
“Let me tell you something, you little troll, you little nobody,” Levin said. “I kicked your butt in the ratings head-to-head from one end of the nation to the other. That’s why you’re late night, got it? I’d like you to come back at 6 p.m. against, Eastern of course, so I can do it again, snaggletooth. I know all about you. All your little secrets — how you trash other hosts, how you try to position them to the left of you. You’re a puke. I’m going to tell you something else — I’m not finished on this subject. I am not finished.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize to you,” he continued. “But this thigh rash — this thigh rash is a hideous person. Yes, I remember what he said about parent’s with autistic children. I remember all of that. Yeah, I think I might do one-hour special: ‘The Weiner we didn’t know.’ You like that Mr. Producer? No, ‘The little Weiner we didn’t know.’ Actually, ‘The transgendering Weiner,’ or something like that. I’ll figure it out. Head’s up there pal.”
In 2011, the rivalry between the two radio hosts took one of its uglier turns, when Savage offered former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out of the 2012 presidential race, and Levin countered by offering Savage $100,000 to give up his radio show.
I would pay to see Levin and Weiner go head-to-head. It would be fabulous.

Not too long ago Savage said Palin looked like a truck stop hooker.
I turned the radio off and never listened to him again. Hos comments about Palin and other Conservative women were just too much.
All these guys, The Great One included, would be nothing if it were not for Bob Grant.
“Get off my phone, you JERK!”
The only thing I heard was him saying why do people have the right to buy 100 round drum magazine- specifically James Holmes - Aurora shooter/ crazy possible fall guy like Sirhan Sirhan.
I hardly think that makes him a fake neocon liberal communist. I think Rush and Hugh Hewitt - Medved and Hannity are more likely candidates.
Even Glenn Beck - controlled opposition. I was well aware of nearly every point the guy has made going back to my college years — years before him. Hardly takes a genius.
Btw, Beck has said how he chose Mormonism just recently, last 10 or 15 years because when they were visiting a Mormon Temple his daughter said it felt right? Real discernment for ya there.
Of course everyone is Judeo-Christian in outlook and heritage as that is/ has been US cultural and intellectual heritage if one is a conservative.
Francis Schaffer goes into this at great depth in How Then Shall We Live?
LOL! Fortunately, I haven't heard him very much, but I do occasionally catch some of his show later at night. I believe he's on the same station here as Levin. But yeah, he's tough to take. Always seems to be all over the place, like he could change his mind five times in a minute.

Get a grip.
Better yet, try actually listening to Levin's show someday.
So marked. Thereby proving you don't listen to his show...
I’ll never listen to Levin again . He has gone too far .
I don't think attacking other hosts serves anyone well. I cringe when any of them do it.
Also, Savage makes no secret of his once liberal past. Similar to David Horowitz. I don't discount someone because they were in the belly of the beast as long as they saw the light.
With their formats so different and one follows the other I don’t understand why Levin gets so rattled with Savage. I Think he’s wasting segments dwelling on it. Just heard the good doctor just prescribe Senator Ted Cruz taking over Speaker of The House from Congressman Boehner on his 5/24 broadcast. Levin should just the let the guy rattle on and let him place his foot in mouth and be thankfull he’s not following Savage .
You hear one Michael Savage show, you’ve heard them all.
Amen to that. I was a full-blown flaming leftist for a few short years back in high school and college. I don't know how my dad didn't kill me during that time, but I'm grateful he didn't. Now I understand leftists better than they understand themselves.
There is no left/right political discourse in the Kingdom of heaven... Its the only Way, the only Truth and the only Life.... all the rest is babel...and when you reach that maturity in your life, you will turn the radio and tv off and leave the babbling babels to their own devices...
Proverbs 6:16
These six things the Lord hate, yea, his soul abhorreth seven:
Haughty eyes
A lying tongue
Hands that shed innocent blood
A heart that imagineth wicked enterprises
Feet that be swift in running to mischief
A false witness that speaketh lies
and him that raiseth up contentions among brethren.
re: “There is no left/right political discourse in the Kingdom of heaven... Its the only Way, the only Truth and the only Life.... all the rest is babel...and when you reach that maturity in your life, you will turn the radio and tv off and leave the babbling babels to their own devices...”
You are correct when you say “there is no left/right political discourse in the Kingdom of Heaven”, but there is right and wrong. Until the visible coming of Christ, we live in this world and God expects us to live our lives to glorify Him and to be a witness to our fellow human beings.
Part of that living and glorifying God in this life, in regard to government, is to do as Paul says in Romans 13:1 “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”
When you reach that maturity in your life where you understand that in order to “be subject to the governing authorities” is to be a Godly citizen of that county you find yourself in. Being subject to the governing authorities in this nation is to participate in the government - that is, we are expected to vote, to uphold its laws, to support it with taxes, to help protect it by serving in the military. It may even be that “being subject” for some Christian believers is to participate in our government as an elected official.
In the First Century, there was no such government that allowed its citizens to participate - except to obey. But our form of government, in order to function in a Godly way, requires its citizens to participate. To NOT do so is “resisting the governing authority” that has been established by God.
Now, what does this have to do with talk radio hosts?
Nothing. Except that, whether you agree with their methods or not, they are attempting to speak the truth in regard to sound, Godly economic principles that we not spend what we do not have, in promoting the sacredness of life (pro-life vs. abortion, euthenaisa), in promoting the Godly principle of personal responsibility for one’s actions in working for a living and taking care not only of oneself, by also one’s family - these are all principles that our government was established upon, set up to protect and promote.
Rush and others may be imperfect vessels in expressing those truths, but to simply condemn them as all hypocritical, and deserving of hell (which is your implication), then you are guilty of judging as expressed by Jesus - only God knows the hearts of other men as to whether they go to Heaven or hell - you do not have that ability to judge that. We have the ability to judge a person’s character by their actions, but we do not have the right nor the ability to know the ultimate destination of an individual’s soul.

If you read revelation and do not find America, read it again....and again.. and again.. if you still can’t find us, may God help you...doesn’t look good for this nation.. it shouldn’t be for the world leader in liquor, drugs, sex , movies, music, porn, abortion, violence, war...at the same time of professing God Bless America... a rather large enemy of the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob is us and that grand ol flag.... I pray you can see the lies of our fathers and the vanity that has no gain in it....
That’s why Limbaugh, hannity, etc are babbling distractions when you live in a country which is an abomination.... don’t waste your time with them and their idle talk.... they wont save this nation from the judgement we have coming.. keep thinking we are the good guys in the world and you will continue to be deceived by the author of all lies... there is none who are good... as I said, they (and us)continuing in babylon systems have received their (and our) rewards.... come out of her my people....
And I can’t speak of individual salvation but I can tell these ‘talk’ show hosts don’t read some parts of the Scriptures....:
James 3:6
And the tongue is a fire,a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members,staining the whole body,setting on fire the entire course of life,and set on fire by hell.
Proverbs 13:3
Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
2 Timothy 2:16
But avoid irreverent babble,for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,
Matthew 12:36
I tell you,on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,
Psalm 141:3-4
Set a guard,O Lord,over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline to any evil,to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity,and let me not eat of their delicacies!
So, I guess you just sit back and do nothing except say “It’s all gonna burn, so why do anything?” That is the same position of the Westboro Baptist “Church”.
I think all believers should not lose hope.. and meditate on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego... what a lesson! Daniel 2:17. Behold, Our God whom we serve, is able to deliver us from the hot fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.. 18 But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
We have been able to avoid bowing to human kings as Americans but we all have worshipped idols of the prince of this world because of prosperity economically-anything that keeps us from the Messiah’s commandment #1 or 2- mercy
God’s grace has been patient but that mercy dam will break and His wrath is crashing those waves behind it... it was a flood first time. Fire the next... all of us need to beware of the leaven...it pains me to know this country causes so much ugliness unseen and I too am not guiltless. God isn’t winning if America spreads its current rot culture... and don’t get me started with the UN in that cesspool of NYC...
Ugh..Even the Amish have their own tv shows now.....problem is we may have to start living like them in a year or too .....country has gotten ‘fat’....
As for Westboro... those babblers have used their 15 minutes of fame on hate... not love.... they seem to waste a lot time around those already dead.. kind of like flies.. we know who the lord of the flies is.....
