Beck 'ain't no Rush Limbaugh,' says Mark Levin

[Sergeant Tim]

Mark Levin was asked in an email today by Politico.com who has more influence, Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. Mark's answer was clear (hear the brief audio at the jump).

The only thing missing when Mark said it was this music playing in the background...

Opinions vary.

So, *I* think you should be ashamed of YOURSELF for suggesting a “self-imposed” single family household as an appropriate place to raise a child, be they third-world or otherwise. So there....now what?

Use your logic. The choice, for this child, was between a single mother home and a third-world orphanage. I know what Christ would recommend. I think you do too.

***There are only two VIABLE political parties.***

You might wish to read some of what the founding fathers wrote about the danger of political parties:
http://www.foundingfathers.info/federalistpapers/

Here is an excerpt of Federalist Papers #1:

Ambition, avarice, personal animosity, party opposition, and many other motives not more laudable than these, are apt to operate as well upon those who support as those who oppose the right side of a question. Were there not even these inducements to moderation, nothing could be more ill-judged than that intolerant spirit which has, at all times, characterized political parties.

...some food for thought. As to two parties ... well ... what happened to the Whigs?

As time goes on I am liking Hannity and Levin less and less.

Two shouters and screamers that only repeat what has already been said on the previous 9 hours of radio (Bennet, Beck, Limbaugh)

[Auntie Dem]

he is preturnaturally loyal

To himself, it appears.

[Drill Thrawl]

No, no, no. Beck works for the CIA. I heard that jones freak say that is why Beck debunked the FEMA death camps.

[Drill Thrawl]

You are correct. Levin went back in time and wrote the Federalist papers, therefore anyone who speaks to Federalist or constitutional ideas is ripping off Levin.

[dragonblustar]

I don’t think thats the case at all. I think if anything, he might be worried about Beck leading people into voting for a third party which could let Obama have another term. I think both Rush and Levin are about taking back the republican party from the liberals in the party.

Limbaugh won’t get involved in helping grass roots Republicans over come the establishment Republican candidates

Limbaugh advocates conservatism, not individual candidates. He's not going to devote radio time going district by district telling people who he endorses. It's a pointless exercise.

Grassroots movements can pick their own candidates without Limbaugh dictating it, and he knows it.

[Terpfen]

Levin is smart and has his moments, but I can't pick him up here.

You can download his show every evening around 9 PM in iTunes.

[Terpfen]

Beck could well be the air apparent to Rush.

Waaaaay too early to start talking about things like that. Besides, intellectually, Levin is Rush's heir. Beck can generate ratings and has a disarming style, though. Once he settles down intellectually--he needs to stop calling himself a conservative one day and a libertarian the next day--then he can start laying claim to the upper tier of conservative talk radio. Until then, Beck is still second string, albeit a very good second stringer.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah Alex Jones has lots of room to call Beck a Nut. LOL

[Melchior]

Auntie Dem: I am not going to call you uninformed; however, you really do need to do your homework. Check back with me in ten years.

[krb]

Beck is like a Limbaugh who doesn’t scare women. Hence Beck’s success on TV, where Limbaugh failed.

[3D-JOY]

Have you now realized that it is going to happen in some way...limited or not?

[Nephi]

Right, like the grassroots picked John McCain.

[Terpfen]

Are you saying Limbaugh is the reason why McCain won the nomination?

[Auntie Dem]

Check back with me in ten years.

Will you be out of high school then?

I know what preternaturally means. I think Levin is an egotistical jerk, and I'm entitled to my opinion. I bet Beck has sold more books than Levin (1 one million seller notwithstanding). Maybe that's why he's jealous.

[editor-surveyor]

I have no crystal ball, but if it happens, it’ll just make the dems losses in congress that much greater. It’ll also make it easier to oust the RINOs in the primaries.

I have tried to reason out a way to not have immigration reform make all of them legal citizens. How do you make them go back? Some have been here so long they have nothing to return to. Some are our neighbors and we do not know it.

Can you imagine the buses rounding them all up and heading for the borders? Buses border to border? It would be a fiasco!

We have done little to stop the continual flow of illegals...how can it work to remove them now?

Only by stopping their employment, health care, and education can they be expected to leave.

NOT going to happen...so what do you suggest?

5 years and no criminal record and they get a green card and start the process...if they have voted illegally and show lack of respect for our laws they are ineligible?

Where would it end?
