Glenn Beck: Sean Hannity-Mark Levin feud resolved
politico. ^ | 1/31/14 | By TAL KOPAN

Posted on 01/31/2014 5:39:48 AM PST by dennisw

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.

As they work with each other, Beck warned their detractors to “look out.”

“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.

Michael “Savage” Weiner gave political contributions donated to Jerry Brown’s 2006 California Attorney General campaign.

Gavin “Twosome” Newsom returned a contribution from “Savage’s” son.

It’s like professional wrestling and televangelism.

So Beck wasn’t for Romney or same sex marriage?

Were those lies?

I'm not a Beck fan...to many tears...to much holier than though stuff....
Beck calls himself a libertarian...so many of those guys are saying its no one's business who marries who...(personally I am too conservative to be a libertarian and too libertarian to be a pure conservative.)

as far as Romney....did he support Romney during the primaries or after in the run up for the general election. there is a difference...many of us held our noses and voted for Romney in the general...(though Rush said yesterday that 4 million conservatives stayed home rather than vote for a RINO....I understand doing that, but I could not help but vote AGAINST zer0)

Is Hannity still feuding with Free Republic?

RE :”Is Hannity still feuding with Free Republic?”

Have no idea what you are talking about. I been dissing him here for years but I read little about him here.

I didn't even know he was feuding with his buddy Levin.

Glenn Beck is a mormom first and everyone I’ve seen who had a hard on for Romney was a mormon including Mr. Beck. Became the best thing since sliced bread.

Even the Mitt filmmaker is a mormon.

What a cult.

I’ll bet we could prod Beck into saying something nice about Harry Reid.

After the recent Florida movie shooting, he stated “guns shouldn’t be allowed in movie theaters”


Well maybe not without an adult escort.

Savage is a reactionary opportunist. Levin mocks his often made stories about minutiae.

Levin is probably the brightest man with a mic in all of America.

Beck the most passionate.

Hannity is pretty humble and wants everyon3 to do well and be friends.

It’s a good amalgamation.

But they still need Rush’s oratory and audience size.

I too think it was O’Reilly.

Could never understand why Beck got close to O’Reilly while at Fox, when Hannity would have been more supportive and in some agreement w Beck

Fox News censored Beck more than CNN did...Beck on CNN was a much better show than his Fox News show

One would hope Levin is the lead of this group..

I did hear a mellow Savage say recently,”Sean’s a nice guy but he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. His TV show’s OK but his radio show is boring.” Damning with faint praise maybe...of course Savage and Hannity are on opposite each other in many markets now. But maybe Michael was just being kind that day.

Sean Hannity: “Everyone I knew basically left (Free Republic) because of so much childish immature personal attacks, the propensity there to eat their own.”

http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/sean_hannity_vs_free_republic/

Two messages in my e-mail inbox this morning had very different takes on a controversy over Sean Hannity referring to Free Republic as a “fringe” site on his radio show yesterday. Audio here. (2005)

...He has big numbers on radio, He’s on the most watched – most trusted news channel on cable, He has two very big selling books to his name…but he’s gone and stepped in it big time. [...] He doesn’t feel its necessary to reach out to those conservatives who do take their issues seriously (Freepers). [...] This will not sit well with bloggers…

Levin? I’m never around a radio when he’s on.
Get his podcast, it's free and you can listen anytime. If you want to LEARN, not just sing with the choir, Levin is the one to listen to.

Savage: Vainglorious !

Exactly.

I have to prop up my homeboy Michael Berry, KTRH 740AM. Moved up to 8-11, before Rush here in Houston.
