Is the Mediocre One still on the air? Last I checked he was busy hawking books on article V.

Neither Rush nor Levin will turn against Trump.   If they did, they'd lose a big share of their audience.

Each of these guys is best at certain issues:

  • Levin takes the lead on court and Constitution issues.
  • Coulter and Savage love the borders issue.
  • Rush excels at blasting the MSM.

Rush's transcripts are so beautifully clear and on-point that it reads as good as if he painstakingly reworked the text.

Now Savage is different from all of them because he diverges off of politics sometimes -- which is much appreciated.

One thing I don't like is the over-the-top commercials we often hear these guys speak.   Why can't these guys talk straight to their audiences about the products they sell?   How do they know "Gold Line" is the best place to buy gold?!

They probably hate doing these phony commercials themselves.   And maybe that's why Rush is promoting his own books instead.   Good idea.

I’ve not listened to Levin for long, but your analysis meets what I’ve heard. He seems to be the thinking man’s Michael Savage, and that’s not much of a compliment.

The cool thing is they have a “record” button. Most stations will record songs by individual song and label them. Just record to a “music” file and there you go. Pretty cool. On the talk stations you can record the host for listening later.

Levin is a thorough, wise, deep, well considered conservative. Levin makes great radio.

Savage is a mean, bipolar, loud mouthed bully. Savage makes great radio on the rare days he’s on his meds.

While I think your headline is too provactive, you did well to lay out some tough issues.

Anyone who questions the wisdom of conservative sacred cows is going to get tough feedback.

Even still, you pleased the ghost of H. L. Mencken:

    The liberation of the human mind has never been furthered by dunderheads; it has been furthered by gay fellows who heaved dead cats into sanctuaries and then went roistering down the highways of the world, proving to all men that doubt, after all, was safe — that the god in the sanctuary was finite in his power and hence a fraud.

    One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms.   It is not only more effective; it is also vastly more intelligent.

This article is an insane rant!

Levin can be a bit cranky, but he sees things as they are, and tells it like it is.

He is the diametric opposite of Michael Savage, who spends an entire afternoon every day extolling his own imaginary virtues.

Levin, Rush, Hannity all owe their unwarranted incomes to the MSM Big Dogs.

Hannity is OK with that, he has no real direction but personal wealth and power.

Rush and Levin try to ride the edge, but do have to offer up tidbits to the MSM, thus they have had to puff trump at times, against their better judgement.

Not their audience, their income.

Their audience mostly realize that Trump is a passing MSM tool to take down conservatism in general.

We are presently at the crux of the event, and it is for the goal now. Conservatives can no longer puff Trump without harming their own domains.

I liked Beck’s show when he started out, exposing the commies and connecting the dots on their associations. But then he started preaching and crying and I quit watching.

Bramps, ease off on the attack against libbylu.

She didn’t call you a Trumpee, and nothing she has posted is childish.

The Trumpees are not all of Trump’s support here, just the insane ones. The ones that constantly spam FR with foolish false attacks against the man that ultimately has to be our candidate if we are to win anything worth winning.

If Reagan was alive today, you would be writing similar backhanded criticism of him as well.

Where was Levin when questions about Obama's qualifications for the office of the Presidency were brought up? Conveniently hiding under his bed!

If Levin accepted that Obama was born in Hawaii, then in Levin's mind, there was no issue. Consistently applying what he believes the legal standard to be, if Obama was born in Hawaii, Ann Durham's citizenship and the place of his birth made Obama a natural born citizens as a consequence of his birth. Given his audience, it wouldn't be wise to argue this way, even if that's what he believes.

He would not allow any discussion of Obama's qualifications to be discussed on his show and when people complained on his website about his censorship he repeatedly wiped all criticisms off the site as well as from his social media accounts.

As stated above, Levin might not have seen this as a legitimate issue. Second, such a debate would probably be a ratings killer. Every talk show host knows that there are certain topics which although some might be passionate about, many don't care and will change stations if the topic is discussed. Try to raise those issues and you'll be quickly cut off.

Absolute nonsense!

Trump has little to no conservative support.

The only conservatives that won’t gladly embrace Cruz are the God haters. They fear the conservative judges that Cruz is going to appoint, and love the mushy chamber of commerce types that Trump would appoint.

That sure as hell wasn’t from me if that’s what you’re insinuating. I’m not surprised that someone who ‘knew’ Mitt sent that to you. Mitt’s family and the few assorted Mormons who supported him were probably tickled pink that you and the rest of your Slime Squad spent the amounts of time you did smearing every other candidate in the race with lies and innuendo while excusing the outrageous and inexcusable record of your fraud of a candidate.
