Mark Levin has been trying to stay out of the conflict between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. He says he likes both men and has both on his show. But as Trump has escalated his birther attacks on Cruz, Levin has spent hours of airtime defending Cruz against these arguments...while studiously not mentioning who is making these arguments.
Well, it looks as though Levin has finally had enough, because ConservativeReview.com, of which he is editor in chief, has published a piece (that Levin has tweeted a link to) that exposes Donald Trump's political inconsistencies, point by point.
Entitled Trump's Questionable Political History, the article talks about how Trump met with illegal alien activists in 2013 and said he was "convinced" to support amnesty. The article also quotes Trump saying he wanted to "expedite" the return of illegal aliens into the country and notes a quote that Trump simply had no opinion either way on the "Gang of 8" amnesty bill that Marco Rubio is being so criticized for.
The article also cites how on September 8 of last year, Trump was for bringing in Syrian refugees, but he changed his mind on the 9th.
Here's what author Daniel Horowitz also wrote:
Conservatives need to know if Donald Trump is really the man who will put Americans first and demolish the "dummies" in Washington or if his lack of a coherent philosophy will lead him to reflexively parrot the very politically correct talking points he so vehemently assails and yet has so often adopted. Is Trump who we think he is on immigration or is he pragmatically trying to tap into a frustration to win the primary with a plan to revert to his original talking points

I’ve had enough of Mark Levin. He can rant and rave all he wants. I’m done listening to him.
The Trumpsters haven’t figured out that he is purposefully destroying the conservative movement. Mark has finally come to terms with it, soon Rush will too. It’s doubtful that the rank and file Trumpsters will figure it out before Iowa.
Yes, Trump is right about many of the issues, especially immigration. But, he doesn’t believe a word he is saying. He is now and has always been a liberal Democrat.
I’m angry at the RINOs in the establishment too, but not to the point of electing a phony.
“The man should not be touched at all”
who’s gonna give em artificial respiration. after he jumps the shark?...
Trump said he likes hitlery and he’s known and liked the clintons for a long time in a past fox news interview
Trump playing to peoples fantasies on the right to get elected as a leftist
About time his leftwing record is exposed
Amen and Amen.
Anyone who criticizes or attacks Cruz is a fake conservative and likely not a christian.... The man should not be touched at all. thatâs the impression I get....from Cruz people on FR.
Why you guys keep trying to act like innocent victims is beyond me.
Why a conservative site puts up with the total invasion by liberals...well, I have my guesses.
Sounds like those Reps who call themselves "conservatives" when running for election or reelection. The Reps control Congress and gave Obama everything he asked for and more. They have controlled the House since 2010 and never used the power of the purse. I submit that most of the Reps in Congress don't believe a word they are saying. Both parties are bought and paid for by the corporate class and special interests.
If Trump delivers on immigration, the defining issue of our time, that is enough for me. I want someone outside the political class.
He was elected to school board or something like that when he was about 19.
RE: Why you guys keep trying to act like innocent victims is beyond me.
Why are you directing the above tirade to me?
I’ve never said that anyone who attacks Cruz is not conservative or Christian...
ATTACK IF YOU MUST, just be sure that the attack is truthful, substantial and fair.
He’s become full of himself like Beck. Not good. No sense in spilling conservative blood. That is when the uniparty wins.
[the article talks about how Trump met with illegal alien activists in 2013 and said he was “convinced” to support amnesty.]
I saw the article. Not only did Trump not say that, but it was a 3rd party’s opinion that Trump was convinced - of something undefined.
What liberal spin.
Lies.
“...he worked in the Bush administration”
That is patently false.
He worked early on in the campaign. C’mon people, get your facts straight.
[Whatâs most interesting to me is that CR hit on Trump yesterday dovetailed exactly with the Cruz campaign talking points of the day. That timing couldnât happen without some coordination between CR & the Cruz campaign. Will Levin be reporting this like & kind donation to the Cruz campaign?]
CR is in bed with Cruz and puts out Trump hit pieces regularly. One of Cruz’s former speechwriters works there - no bias if course. /s
Lately, Mark has sounded like he’s one French fry short of a Happy Meal. Something not tracking there. Too bad.
>>I am convinced liberals have infested this website.
Liberals or Progressives? In the beginning of the Progressive movement, there was a difference. Then, the two merged into one for a long time, but now they have diverged again.
In the same time frame, Conservatism grew out of classical liberalism when the Liberals merged with the Progressives. A few decades ago, conservatism merged with Globalism (which was always aligned with the Progressives and that was the birth of the UniParty). The Conservatives who didn’t believe in Wall-Street-Over-Everything-Else split off to become something like the TEA Party.
These days, there is no such thing as a “liberal”. We have the Ideological Conservative, the Transnational Progressive, the Democratic Socialist, and the Nationalist. There are subsets within each major category and many people that occupy more than one category on different topics.
So, when someone starts accusing everyone at FR that they disagree with of being a “liberal”, I wonder if they are unaware of the complexities of modern politics or merely living in a simpler time (in their head).
Good post, Bry.
And ever since he supported Hatch he has repeatedly said how that was a mistake and Orin is awful.
You should probably understand why conservatives would get testy with people shilling for a liberal on a conservative forum.
