GOP Establishment Money Funding Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Erick Erickson To Attack Trump
Daily Caller ^ | 04/08/2016 | Roger Stone

Posted on 04/08/2016 12:46:22 PM PDT by SpaceBar

The next time you hear Mark Levin on the radio, or watch Glenn Beck on TV, or read Erick Erickson, RedState.com on the Internet, you might just ask yourself who is paying for the message? And why is it so stridently anti-Trump?

Don’t fool yourself. They’re doing it for the money.
...

Follow the Money

The Conservative Tree House blog exposed the financial nexus supporting prominent “conservative” pundits to promote in their media outlets Ted Cruz as the last, best hope to block Trump in Wisconsin, a state considered by the Washington-based GOP establishment as perhaps the last establishment firewall to block Trump from the GOP presidential nomination.

“These financial/media relationships have largely and historically, remained hidden,” a blogger identified simply as “sundance” noted in an article posted on TheConservativeTreeHouse.com on Wednesday. “They have sure never been publicly, clearly, and regularly stated so the consuming audience would know the presentation was fraught with financial conflict.”

$400k for Mark Levin books... (more at link)

But Levin’s a best selling author!!!!! No way the GOP is the ones buying his books! My bookstore can’t keep them on the shelf (oh wait I’ve never seen his books in my bookstore).

well... GET OFF THE PHONE YA BIG JERK!

Same with O’Reilly, I’ve heard many groups buy large amounts of his books to get preferential treatment. No facts to base this on, but I would imagine some truth to the rumors.

It is a common practice with politicians and those who can court favor.

I know. I really am heartbroke about Rush.

Not that he supports Cruz.

But that he played games for so long. At least his brother just came out and said it.

Rush was worried about audience share and tried (still tries) to butter his bread on both sides.

The Conservative Treehouse in detail also exposed how Ted Cruz got TPA and TPP passed for Obama, using senate rules cleverly (cloture votes, for example---things Cruz could count on that no regular citizen would catch on to). Days after Cruz got TPA passed and completed his groundwork, only then was Obama able to sign TPP. Most Cruzers on FR don't have a clue what that is, of course, and don't care.

Cruz also gave China cover so that they can JOIN TPP after it's passed (TPA would not have passed with China in the TPP).

Go look it up. TPP screws the USA and is the final coffin in losing our jobs to foreign nations, and our jobs in the US to immigrants. There is no way a patriot could go along with this. Cruz led the traitorous Republicans in this gift to Globalism, unlimited immigration, open borders, and most of all crony capitalism.

Yes, it boggles the mind what folks will let slip by.

I don’t claim Trump is perfect, but then he never claimed to be.

Ted did, and then the things start oozing out.

Ted simply isn’t who he said he was.

Did you view the FEC documents which provide all the links proving the assertions of The Conservative Treehouse? The links have been posted at threads on FR in the last day or two, to make it easy.

Don’t know if, for instance, there’s an exact correlation between buying some of Mark Levin’s books & Mark endorsing a conservative...

Here is a list of why I think Limbaugh has lost his objectivity and gone all in for Dirty Teddy.

1.Advertising money

2.His Brother,likely prodding.

3.Levin same as above.

4.Rush has exhibited a penchant for copying much of what Beck does these days.

5.Jealousy.I think Rush is very jealous of the Donald,this could be the biggest motivator.

Add it all up and it makes perfect sense.

If a wife is a principal in an organization that her husband believes is a "den of vipers"---something's wrong. That marriage simply wouldn't have happened and can't continue. Those stated opinions represent a thousand more guiding principles and beliefs of each person, it is a metaphor of what each of them is in their values, beliefs and character. The two things cannot coexist in the same space.

ONE of them was lying, either in words or deeds: Mrs. Cruz, member of the Council on Foreign Affairs, wrote THE document to create what Globalists plan to be the North American Union and ending the sovereignty of the USA.

So, who is real and who is false in word or deed? The wife? Or the husband?

What really made me suspicious was Levins over the top reaction to the above. Just let your listeners know about the staffer. But instead he was offering 5 thousand dollar reward to anyone who could point out the whistleblower. Who does that? There was obviously something else going on because this staffer was really no big deal. When he found out it was Sundance, he started saying that Sundance was antisemitic. That he was a nobody who managed a grocery store. Really over the top stuff.

I followed that trainwreck too, with mouth agape. Mark Levin is a Class A douchebag. No wonder his wife dumped him, and his kids reportedly won't speak to him. One wonders what he did to her.

I am not talking at all about the books, rather the chain of FEC documents that reveal the shadow superpacs created by Cruz to funnel money to Erick Ericson, Beck, Ben Shapiro and all of so-called "conservative" media. Not about books at all. This is a campaign secretly paying payola to buy the hours of radio time of Levin etc each day to support their candidate and trash their opponent.

If you would LOOK at the FEC documents, you'd understand. Amazing thing about this, something the gov did right: requires these people to put into the public record their chicanery, though they use every sleight of hand and LAWYER trick in the book to obfuscate it, it still can be revealed, and is---to those who look. And care.
