Levin Hammers ‘Hypocrite’ Krauthammer, ‘Obsessive’ Hume for Attacks on Cruz and Trump
Breitbart ^ | 12/15/15 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 12/16/2015 4:52:14 PM PST by VinL

..Levin first singled out Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer for criticizing Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump for switching his positions. Levin pointed out that Krauthammer was a speechwriter for former Vice President Walter Mondale, who ran against Ronald Reagan as the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 1980 and as the Democratic presidential nominee in 1984.

"I'l tell you something else, I'm sick and tired of his intelligence being questioned by the stupidos on cable TV," Levin said. "He's an incredibly brilliant man, as are many of the people on that stage, incredibly. We got to sit here and listen to former Mondale staffers, a Mondale staffer says, "Well, he changes his view "

"Here's a guy, our friend Charles, who worked for Walter Mondale when Ronald Reagan was president, who supported Carter and Mondale against Reagan and Reagan," he continued. "And he changed his view but apparently only he can change his view. And now he's Mr. Conservative. OK, fine, fine, but you are a bit of a hypocrite."

Later in the segment Levin took aim at Fox News Channel senior political analyst Brit Hume, who he argued had an "obsessive hate" for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97%, also a candidate for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

"By the way, I have to say this and I don't want to say this because I like the man, but he is exposing himself, so be it," Levin said. “I don’t know of anybody that has more obsessive hate for Ted Cruz than Brit Hume at Fox. It’s not personal. I’m just telling you what I observe. Go ahead and read his – look, it’s open. Go ahead and read his Twitter comments. It’s incredible.”

Levin then returned to Krauthammer....

There's a theory on the board that the MSM is trying to elevate Cruz so as to take out Trump-- imo, they hate both of them, and they want both out, in whatever sequence.

We agree on this.

The FOX idiots hate both Trump and Cruz, with a burning, irrational hatred.

>>>There’s a theory on the board that the MSM is trying to elevate Cruz s<<<

Did anyone see the Fox Special report Baier interview with Cruz this evening. Brett was clearly agitated, almost hyperventilating in his questioning. Cruz got tougher questions from Brett than from the CNN crew last night....all highlighting the negatives on NSA and making a case that Cruz supported amnesty 2 years ago.

“Fair and Balanced”? I think not!

Nah, I’m pretty sure the MSM needs the clicks and ratings from a few more Rubio and Cruz fights. Better than WWF wrestling!

I think the MSM and GOPe are just freaking out because they realize they are having very little influence on voters.

Mark Levin is a national treasure.

Not to mention I saw princess Shep call Trump a “carnival huckster” the other day. Al Swearingen said fear smells like cat pee.

“The Five” led off their take on last night’s “debate” by saying Jeb did well. I changed channels at that point.

Fox News has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt they are nothing but a mouthpiece for the GOPe and are doing everything they can to spike Trump and Cruz’ run for the Presidency.

FNC is garbage.

Brit Hume has bit particularly obvious with his dislike for The Donald lately. I used to like Brit. I don’t like Brit any longer.

The GOP and those talking heads want status quo in a candidate. Someone who speaks well, who fits into their club, who they can chat with, have dinner with, be proud of in their circles because he would be just like them.

We don’t need any of the above.. we need a fighter.. someone who is not afraid of those above... and someone who hears the people and will fight for us... and who will turn the damage done, into a great country again... who will pay no mind to the elite club in Washington.. and who LOVES our country enough to leave a successful career and run for the office of the President of the United States because he sees the need for that someone who loves the US more than he cares what the GOP thinks... This is not for the weak and not for the political minded... this is for a strong person.. GO TRUMP!! and Cruz!!

They are having a fit over this man! I smile... but I also get angry at their bias and their uppity attitude over a man who cares for the people and work for the people.

The weak would let isis or anyone.. come in here and kill us... they do not care... the weak would not use the weapons we have to protect our country and HIT THEM before they hit us... it doesn’t matter who is collateral damage... it has to be done.. their children are carrying weapons at the age of 3.. raped before the age of 3.. they don’t care... and if we are the only ones who are kind and thoughtful... we will lose. Someone has to be the man who does the right thing... the one who figures out what is right and wrong... because all I see now days are the chickens who are too touchy feely to be in control.

Mark must have figured out that the Trump supporters in his audience were pissed as hell at him. He was downright complimentary of Trump, saying he was excellent in the debate. Of course he was still over the top for his boy Cruz, but nice to see him acknowledging Trump.

Brit did the same thing to Newt. He shows his dislike/hate... he thinks he’s important enough to persuade voters.. He is condescending and that makes it more ugly than to just not like someone.
He thinks Trump is below his grade. And they don’t like Cruz because he did not become a part of the GOP club. Bret is picking up where Brit half way left off.

George Will’s whole body gets tense with hate when he starts talking about Trump. It is hard for him to vocalize the venom he wants to spit. Watch him next time.

I saw that and agree he was rude and condescending.. he was rougher on Cruz than anyone I’ve heard him interview. Smirking also. He’s joined the club at Fox.. that’s how ya get those jobs..

I haven’t seen him lately. I haven’t been watching fox as much as I used to. I don’t like Will already. They’re as arrogant as the msm, imho.

Will and Karl Rove go into meltdown over Trump.

I want to see Trump/Cruz win just to see the MSM go into absolute meltdown mode.

I love Krauthammer but no talking head will influence my vote.

They must be especially upset that T. Cruz was better than their boy Rubio. Rubio revealed that he is close to B. Obama as to amnesty and other issues.
