I think it’s pretty clear that Mark Levin doesn’t like Beck and some of the other conservative talk show hosts. Maybe if Mark Levin was a little less nasty, he’d get further because I think he’s a lot smarter than Hannity, who he does seem to like.
That's because they are both from NY. Anyone not from NY is, well, beneath them.
I can't stand Hannity anymore.
I am a huge fan of Levin. I saw this coming several weeks ago when he made asides about “writers that don’t write their own books,” and wondered (without actually criticizing him) how Beck has time for everything he does: books, radio, tv, appearances, etc..
It’s extremely unfortunate. Both are very good at what they do. Levin is smarter, but what I like about Beck - and what makes him so powerful - is that he manages to be both a populist and a liberarian/conservative at the same time. Unlike say, O’Reilly or Savage who are populists but NOT ideological conservatives, or Limbaugh who is great, but pretty much a purely ideological guy.
I also agree that ALL of these guys are smarter than Hannity. I watch him, but he is a poor debater and very, very repetitive. If there’s a conservative about whom the accusation of spouting “talking points” might have some validity, it’s Sean. Useful, and a class act, but reeks of “C-Student.”
I hope Levin doesn’t pursue Beck with the same ferocity he does Savage/Weiner. Weiner deserves it....Beck doesn’t.
