There's something initially angering that becomes very sad when a fraud is revealed. Tonight on his radio show Mark Levin was forced to admit the son of his fiancee is a full time staffer for Senator Ted Cruz.
After spending weeks attacking anyone who critiques candidate Ted Cruz, the motives of Mark Levin now take full sunlight. He should be ashamed, VERY ashamed.
No, Mr. crony-constitutionalist, lying by omission is not the least bit funny. Nor is deception toward your audience when you do not disclose your own conflicts. Especially when we consider the hours Levin spends railing against the internecine family associations like George Will and his wife working for Scott Walker.
Crony politics is apparently alive and well amid the Mark Levin radio show. Perhaps he will tell the audience how much advertising money he takes from political campaigns? Or more specifically entities with a vested interest in political campaigns?
Think he'll fess up now that he's busted?
Nah, me neither.
He's got another book to sell...
Wow. Just Wow.
The campaign of Donald Trump continues to expose the "Decepticons".
Not true. It's all in the spin. Levin is lucky to have discovered it rather than being blind-sided. A matter of offense v. defense.
I find this to be a tempest in a teapot. I would not be surprised to find out that Levin's family would be participatory in the TEA Party, which he has defended loudly and publicly. So why would I be surprised that he has connection to Cruz (albeit tangential)? Conservative supporting Conservatives. Go figger.
Actually, Mark and Rush have repeatedly recognized the Birther crap as the bushwah that it is and always has been.
From that perspective perhaps not, yet Mark is a lawyer and a careful and wordsmith, his books are a joy to read, so it surprised me.
The whole incident among others proves that this election is a knife fight to the finish.
Does it make any difference to you whether he was a campaign staffer or a Senate Staffer?
Must we destroy Levin in order to promote THE ONE?
Not really. Same difference.
Precisely!
It makes no difference to me. It is irrelevant other than it’s possible use to destroy not only Cruz and Levin, but the entire Tea Party movement by dividing and conquering us.
When this is all over, who is going to be speaking for the conservative movement. We will have destroyed Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. I guess Mike Savage can be the torchbearer for whatever remnant there is of our Tea Party Army. But he’d better not come out and support anyone other than “THE ONE”.
I’m confident God already knows the one person who is the “chosen one”. Who that person turns out to be will signal us as to the future existence (or not) of the USA. I expect that God has had enough of the country’s anti-Christian antics the past few decades. We’ll see...

Yes, God willing, DONALD TRUMP (BLESSED IS HIS NAME) will ascend to the throne ...ahh...I mean presidency and will lead us into the LIGHT.
Fair disclosure: I’ve never been a Levin fan. I’ve always grouped him in with Michael Savage. Does that make a difference in this conversation?
That’s honest, too, and not just for debate purposes. I don’t care much for Levin. I’d rather listen to Lone Ranger reruns.
No, we spit on the anal retentive Birther nonsense which is the weapon du jour of the Trumpettes with those that fall for it. SCOTUS is certainly a disgrace and a lot of us who you charge with “subversion” are just not eager to depend on a crapshoot of The Donald as to future SCOTUS nominations, although a crapshoot of The Donald at least gives some possibility of a constitutionalist nominee or two and Comrades Hillary and Bernie won’t. Don’t push it, though. The Donald’s history, personality and manners mean he is on a short leash.
Senate Staffer is a far cry from working on a campaign.
And yes, not just anyone can get those jobs. Would love to know if he got it before mother got involved with Levin.
Yeah, didn’t think so.

Well, you do know that some people get jobs based upon their merit. Perhaps you haven’t so don’t understand that principle. LET US PRAISE DONALD TRUMP (PEACE BE UPON HIM).
Fair Disclosure: Levin is a smart smart lawyer and I am an attorney. I listen to him for his constitutional analysis and frankly I have learned a lot from him. He is in the trenches fighting for the Conservative causes. A lot of people here probably have no clue about the work he does with Landmark legal foundation to preserve our rights and liberties, taking cases for no fees to the supreme court.
But since he hasn’t built any hotels, he hasn’t done anything. That seems to be the general consensus around here. You can fight for liberty and individual rights 24/7 and unless you have built a Hotel then you haven’t accomplished anything in your life.
Heard a rumor that Chris Christie’s third cousin twice-removed’s second wife’s grandson is a “gay rights” activist. I never knew Christie starred in La Cage aux Folles (or however it is spelled). Talk about Fat Lib!
With all due respect, your mother sounds easily confused by irrelevant trivia.
Not being a lawyer, does any state bar that licenses one to call them self a lawyer require an oath to defend and protect the Constitution?
Cruz sure did take an oath to defend and protect the Constitution... Did his oath come with a personal exemption... Cruz could be a national hero if he would expose how Congress subverted the Constitution by giving Obama an unconstitutional exemption...
The rest of this is deflection. There is a reason why the bed ridden bulls of the GOP decided to school Cruz specifically over calling McConnel a ‘liar’... Cruz could expose their hypocrisy. Why doesn't he?
That is "just your thoughts". We don't agree. As an attorney I know how the courts would handle this and they would determine that Cruz, Jindal, Rubio and Obama were all natural born citizens since they are the children of citizens.
I think you are kicking against the pricks on this (See KJV Dictionary). You can rant and you can rave, but yours is a minority opinion and an opinion that will never be the majority opinion of the Supreme Court or any other legitimate court.
The fact of the matter is that at this point Cruz is probably not going to get the Republican Nomination anyway. It is either going to be Trump or it is going to end up being decided at the convention. So your ranting and raving is just a waste of bandwidth.
So with that, let us agree to disagree agreeably.
See tagline.
It doesn’t matter. It should be disclosed. It’s a conflict of interest.
The standards of the profession call for fair disclosure if one is to broadcast opposition opinions against a person.
Then you would be a secularist...Cruz is coming in the name of Jesus... Jesus warned about mass deception... Credibility lost, rarely is ever regained.
It’s his schtick that turns me off. The same with Savage.
I think his constitutional analysis is helpful. I, for example, think he’s right about Cruz’s legal ability to run for president.
That’s why Trump might still eventually pick Cruz for VP.
Which reminds me of an article I received on the subject that I have to read.
