Glenn Beck: Sean Hannity-Mark Levin feud resolved

Radio and TV personality Glenn Beck says he has buried the hatchet with fellow conservative talk radio powerhouses Sean Hannity and Mark Levin and that they are coming together to activate their “Wonder Twin powers.”

Beck spoke about his relationship with the two rival radio show hosts on his show Thursday, saying that they have discovered they were being fed “lies” about each other to diminish their power.

“There is a stupid feud, and the three of us, Sean and Mark and I, have talked about it and we know where it came from and we know who was feeding us lies about each other,” Beck said Thursday. “And this individual just expected that we would, that if they fed us enough lies about each other, we would never talk to each other, and that way he would be able to divide us and keep the tea party movement at bay and control it as much as he could or destroy it. And we were foolish, and all of us have said to each other … ‘Man, how stupid were we? How did we not see that one?’”

Beck did not name the person he accused of spreading lies. Beck said after continuous messages from his audience that he should be on the same side as Levin and Hannity rather than in competition with them, the three connected and realized they should work together.

“If talk radio begins to move together and we all understand … everybody plays a different role and each of us have an important piece,” Beck said, reading a note he wrote to Levin saying Levin’s role was to affect politics while his role was to affect culture. He said Hannity was an ideas man.

“Together — I mean, I hate to go to a Saturday morning cartoon but ‘Wonder Twin powers activate.’ And when we do, look out. Look out, progressives, and look out, the GOP,” Beck said.

Beck also said the three all need the “king of the universe” Rush Limbaugh and asked his audience to pray that Limbaugh decides he should engage the three of them, as well.

I used to listen to all the talkers as much as I could. Mostly thru podcasts and live streams. I burned out. But the primary people were Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Ruaty Humphries, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, George Noory, Dana Loesch, Steve Deace, Jerry Doyle, Hugh Hewitt, Andy Parks, Laurie Roth, Herman Cain, Neal Boortz and sometimes Alex Jones, because he went on C2C and feuds with Glenn Beck, among others. One thing would lead to another and I would land on new people and check them out.

I can honestly say that many times they don’t know what the other guy is up to or saying and doing. So they make stuff up. They also do get competitive so then at times they start feuding. When that happens they start listening to each other enough to find things to attack each other with.
At the same time few of them were friends, but it is rare.

Not all of these talkers will agree on everything 100 percent. And they tend to sometimes focus on small miniscule things that bother then about about other talkers than the bigger picture.

Rush Limbaugh is one of those guys who has made friends with just about anybody he can,in the conservative talk radio movement, but has also “worked” or met with just about everyone from Rusty Humphries to Bob Grant to Neal Boortz.

So, in my opinion, the feuds took away from focusing on the messages of the talk hosts. Everyone has their favorites or the person whom they get to hear because of time constraints and changes in affiliates and syndication in each city and area.

All I can say is do whatever you want. I found that people get into feuds over hosts as listeners on internet forums about as much as the hosts. So, in the end, I’ll follow who ever I want. And it matters little what others think about if I want to hear what they have to say. But after hearing lots of shows I burned out.

I still carry a Blaze subscriptions and now my favorite talker Dana Loesch replaced Glenn on Fridays with a Blaze show. Granted, i don’t believe her when she says she used to support and actively campaign for Democrats. And then she had an epiphany. The story is as corny to me as the one Steve Deace tells about how he came to be conservative. Started with him finding the Promise Keepers. Ok then. Whatever works for them is fine with me.

I also still subscribe to C2C podcasts and Rush Limbaugh. Everything else I get for free. I think Rusty Humphries is without a show now so I dropped his podcast, which has another host now. And I think Hannity’s podcasts are free since leaving his former syndication and that Savage puts his archives at youtube for free since he has no podcast page.

But I say to each their own. I no longer promote anyone I might like.
