Listen: Levin says Trump Took a Baseball Bat to Carson Before Defending Him Now

Tonight, on his nationally syndicated radio program, Mark Levin went through the "controversy" surrounding the Cruz campaign and a tweet about CNN.  Donald Trump is calling for Iowa to vote again because of Fraud.  It makes it look as if Trump is defending Carson.

In addition to going through the absurdity of Trump's current attacks, Levin reminded his listeners of how Trump took a "baseball bat to Carson" back in November. 

Listen:

LISTEN

Levin reminded the audience that Trump likened Carson to a "child molester" among many other things.  Trump questioned Carson's faith.  It was all in all very nasty. 

As for the CNN report that started all of this take a look at the actual report, as it appeared 16 minutes before the caucuses started.  Note what CNN host Dana Bash says about Carson and the seriousness of his campaign.  Bash said, "if you want to be President of the United States, you don't go home to Florida."

That's what started all of this that has consumed the media for 48 hours.  This is what is driving the coverage, not what really matters, the issues. 

To learn more about where the candidates stand on the issues.  Take a look at the Conservative Review Presidential Profiles.

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams " Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

Trump really hit Carson but he used Carson’s own words. He didn’t cheat Carson out of his votes.

[Iron Munro]

One man’s Big Stick is another man’s Baseball Bat.

[HopeSprings]

Wow, you will defend Trump no matter what. Sad.

[NKP_Vet]

To hell with anything squealing Levin has to say. He nauseates me with all his “I worked for Reagan, I knew Reagan”.

[heights]

Well, maybe the Shyster can defend Carson in court.

[odawg]

I didn’t read all of that. But, for the sake of argument, even if it were true, does that cleanse Cruz from what he did to Carson. Making comments is one thing, robbing him of his votes is another.

Cruz was correct by CNN, acknowledged it, then turned around and lied again.

[dforest]

Yes , Cruzsters always try to jusify what Ted does by pointing the finger art someone else. Trump doesn’t do the sly behind the curtain attack. He is the only one out of the top three in Iowa who didn’t resort to dirty tricks to win.

[bray]

Cruz could shoot someone in front of Levin and he would report what a great shot he was. Two secular lawyers doing what lawyers do.

Pray America wakes

Cruz was correct by CNN, acknowledged it, then turned around and lied again.

When did CNN say Dr. Carson had suspended his Campaign?

I saw CNN destroyed lying Mark Meadows yesterday on the Issue

[Brilliant]

The tweet about Carson no doubt hurt Rubio more than Trump because Trump would have picked up more of Carson’s support than Rubio. But for the tweet Trump might have come in third.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

The damn media loves this...It takes away from the real issue...GETTING THE DOUCHE BAG SOCIALISTS OUT!!!

Carson likened himself to a pedophile? Perhaps you have a link to that self report.

[Jim W N]

Levin appears to be confusing fair play in a competitive campaign with pulling dirty tricks. I mean there is a difference.

[Dana1960]

Good grief, what difference does it make what what said at a rally, when DJT was quoting stuff from the man’s own book...the one he wrote. That’s child’s play, politically. The good Doc had months to respond, however he wanted to.

It’s a far different matter when an opposing campaign deliberately LIES (and the evidence is in, on this, btw) about the intentions of another candidate in REAL TIME, to snatch their votes....while the caucuses are going on. If there were ONE ethical human being on the Cruz staff, they would have contacted the Carson campaign to confirm, before they did this. But no.....

This so much reminds me of the dirty tricks stuff that Axelrod pulled on behalf of Obama in order to get him elected to the Senate that it turns my stomach.

[SoConPubbie]

The damn media loves this...It takes away from the real issue...GETTING THE DOUCHE BAG SOCIALISTS OUT!!!

I'd bet my last dollar if Trump were to stick to talking about policy positions, instead of his normal insult and run, blame everyone else routine, that this would simmer down real quick.

But TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) does not want to have that discussion. That's not who TRUMP is.

[A CA Guy]

Trump did not do what Cruz did to rig votes though.
Cruz just shot himself in the head no matter what people here may think.
He’s gone and probably strengthened gang of 8 Rubio.

_________________________________________________
Levin wants his listeners to believe that the two actions by Trump are hypocritical when he knows better, but he is trying to throw up a red hearing at Trump. The two Trump positions on Carson are not irrational, inconsistent, or hypocritical. it is a smoke screen by Levin and he knows it and I am smart enough to know that he knows it so that makes him a deceiver on par with his favorite son, Cruz. Levin is a rabid supporter of Cruz. He knows that what Cruz or his staff did was a cheap, dirty trick and it likely affected the final vote tally to some extent. Levin also implied that if the trickery was insufficient to change the result, no foul. He knows that is not the test and I know he knows that is not the test in Iowa, so there. I have had it with Levin. His show has become a never ending infomercial for Cruz.

[Electric Graffiti]

Levin you committed career and radio suicide by hysterically backing an ineligible canadian cuban creep

Besides, you should love Trump for delivering a win to your ineligible candidate in Iowa. The disaffected Carson voters went to Cruz because they were butt hurt and blamed Trump for their heroes fall.

Cruz was in single digits in Iowa before the Carson voters propped him up.

Can talk radio survive this election?
