Hi Nana! It’s been a LONG time!

Rush went on Beck’s show a few months back, and it was very amiable. Rush stays above this sort of thing, as I mentioned earlier.

restornu, at the risk of offending-because I don’t know you, not here and certainly not in real life...don’t let it get to you. You’re a Mormon and proud of it-great-ignore the flamers and be confident in your faith; don’t worry about what others will say. Kinda like being a conservative these days, hm?

Finished wood, I hope-ow! Hate to think about that!

I intended no offense. And the proper spelling is Mormonism, but that’s irrelevent.

I meant to point out that we’re being watched here. Not paranoia, just a fact. Why give them ammo?

In some cases, not being leftists or Marxists is only a good start. Ed Schultz used to be a ‘conservative’, as I recall. Google the name if you don’t know it.

In any case, I have no problem with you.

I know. I’ve been out of the loop for a while. Nice to be back! Passion is good, which is why I like Mark, but I’m hardly a ‘worshipper’ as someone said earlier; in a way I would prefer that he tone it down a bit at times-but it’s not my radio show, and it doesn’t turn me off one little bit. Because he’s GENUINE-he doesn’t keep one eye on that windsock and the other on the damn polls-he shoots from hip.

Well-jumped off topic myself! Or did I? Thanks, reaganaut-and I like that handle.

I get you, and I didn’t mean to attack you or anything. Obviously you have an insight most of us don’t-but isn’t this a pointless distraction? What was that original topic again? What’s next-discussing Jewish rituals because of Mark? That’s really all I’m saying here.

Do you really imagine that any national talker does all of his own show-prep research? Just wondering...

Well said. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that there’s a conservative in him who will awaken.

The sooner the better, under the circumstances.

Well...I was trying to be nice. To make up for my FB post last night.

“Egad...’Suggestions’: Become a fan of John McCain! 544,717 other people can’t be wrong! Ditto Glenn Beck, 676,355. Put em together, get John Glenn, send him on a one-way trip into orbit, and at least 1,221,072 people won’t know what to do for the next week or so. I’d rather see the ads about hot Asian women looking for a guy just like me! I won’t click on it, but I’ll sure look at it!”

A trifle mean, perhaps...

Yes. I’m not Mormon and have no particular interest in becoming one, but this is going low. I’m a Christian, period-what denomination I am is none of anyone’s damn business unless I choose to share it. As it happens, I am of NO denomination. NONE-not Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, whatever; I don’t care for ‘organized’ religion. But that’s just me. Feel free to navigate your religious freedoms...as long as you still can.

Thank you. And indeed (to address this straw-man BS argument here and now) I haven’t heard ANYONE right of the line suggest shutting down and silencing Glenn Beck. That’s all on the left. I choose not to listen to the guy, and if my perception of him is correct, he’s liable to shoot himself in the foot bigtime sooner or later. We’ll see.

Bringing his faith into it is counter-productive to say the least, IMHO.

PNSN, I’m commenting here because it’s the most recent.

How the hell has it come to this? PLEASE! It’s ridiculous, and the only thing it’s good for is troll food! I mean DAYUM!

Yes, but he’s above doing direct hits on anyone (allegedly) right of the line, like Weiner and the Beckster. Partly because he doesn’t need to-he’s in zero danger-but if he wanted to, he sure as hell COULD.

///The whole Levin thing with GB is dumb. From what I know the root complaint is rather petty - and Levin just won’t let it go.

And it is too bad - because there’s plenty of room. I like them both and I believe they carry important messages, each in their own way.///

Maybe. As a writer and blogger, it would annoy me to no end if someone ‘borrowed’ my stuff and forgot to mention where he borrowed it from. Is that not somewhat understandable?

I think it’s because Rush stays above it, whatever he may think of Beck. If Beck started blatantly cribbing Rush’s material without attribution, that might be a game-changer. Rush and Mark are good friends, you know.

Beautifully put!

He’s getting to the point that he runs his mouth more than Obama himself, and I would’ve thought that impossible.

That’s being charitable. In my opinion, Beck has one eye on the windsock and the other on the media pukes.

Perfectly said!

Thank you for pointing that out so early, Tim-I’m late to the party and haven’t the time to read through 356+ comments, but that is absolutely correct; Fred was Mark’s clear favorite.

Another home-run by Mark Levin! Some of these comments (just among the first 50) have been somewhat annoying...is it so difficult to understand that it’s WRONG to use the intellectual product of another person and not properly attribute it? It’s not plagiarism in the legal sense, but does anyone here believe that it’s ethical? Does anyone believe that if Mark wasn’t absolutely certain that Glenn Beck is cribbing his material he’d be in a twist about it? That it’s merely a rivalry? Mark’s place is secure regardless of what happens to Beck. I admit that I wouldn’t mind seeing some definitive examples of such cribbing on Beck’s part, but I have no doubt that Mark has good reason to believe it’s happened/is happening. He is often passionate, but never irrational.

I have zero interest in Beck, especially since that video of the Time cover shoot. From what I’ve observed, he’s not unlike a RINO...goes with the wind, jumps on whatever popular bandwagon that’s rolling and claims he bought the wheels. I don’t trust him-period.

And screw the Birchers.
