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

I cut my 'conservative radio teeth" on Hannity, pre-FOX days. He's a good man, but he whines & harps on the same thing too much. He becomes annoying, almost "cry-babyish" at times. I appreciate what he's done & doing, but I don't listen to him much anymore. Laura, too. I lost her when she kept going off the air for weeks at a time, supposedly due to contract disputes...and then with her bizzare adoption of an hispanic child, w/o the beneift of proving "the dad" first. Yet she's so into promoting conservative Christian values? And she has a gay brother....something just doesn't add up in the Laura Ingraham universe. Burt I can see why she hasn't been able to get hitched yet. She needs an attitude & feminity check. She's far too abrasive and "manly" in her dialogue, IMO. Used to LOVE her though.

Rush, Mark & Beck transcend the both of them. And I only have so much time, so thpse three get it all now.

When was the last time Mark broke a huge story and got a Czar fired? Never! Mark is jealous and a whiner.

Levin seemed to get in a snit when Beck’s book knocked him off the best seller list

What do you mean? One book is hard-cover the other is paperback -- they are not competing and there is no way to compare them to each other.

Sometimes Beck does ok, but presently he is only on this band wagon for his own agrandisement. He is way short of being a conservative, and I find it rather insulting when someone calls him one.

He’s definitely not in Rush’s league.

Glenn Beck's 912 Project:

Check it.

Limbaugh’s concern for the GOP is very moving, especially when you consider that he never bothered to vote until he was 37. Meaning that he never cast even one vote for Ronald Reagan.

Rodguy, I’ll have to give this one to gargoyle. Activists don’t sit on the sidelines only to become involved when it’s in their career interest in middle age. Activists start young because politics consume them like sports do Joe Sixpack. Rush is a golfer and a football fan, not an activist.

Mark’s rise to power on radio is stunning! he’s only been around for a few years. He’s knocking down new affiliates like dominos! The fastest growing radio talk show in the nation.

"So Levin is afraid Beck is cutting into HIS book sales?"

Not likely, Mark's books don't have pictures, and Glen's won't have many words.

"Do I sense a little paranoia here?"

Its called indignation.

They’re not going to put their egos aside. The characters who seek to be talk radio hosts have a good dose of narcissism in their personalities.

Beck isn’t “on the right;” he’s in the squishy middle.

Laura failed twice to get her own show on TV twice. She was veying for the spot Beck has now on the Fox News lineup, but the channel was unhappy with her test run of the show for a week. She is stuck filling in for Bill O. nowdays. Monica Crowley herself failed at MSNBC. That was a mistake so she crawled back to Fox news, but only after getting her daily radio show.

Laura lost her New York affiliate and some other cities. Plus she has Tammy Bruce, an ex-Democrat turned Independent fill in for her on the radio.

I know that lots of Laura’s listeners dislike Tammy. That and Laura likes to debate liberals which gets annoying at times. She has her regular lineup of liberals who go on to debate her.

He started making snide remarks about Beck and his book... it was very immature.. there was threads here at the time and how Hannity was trying to downplay it beause of their friendship and his job on Fox.

I don’t know about Glenn Beck being on the Right or not.
I just know he’s right.

“Beck ‘ain’t no Rush Limbaugh,’ says Mark Levin”

Thank god, we need all three of them.

[Pelham]

I agree with 100% on Barry Farber. But I was never a fan of Tony Snow. Tony was a nice guy, but he also had a liberal streak in him a mile wide. He was more than willing to sacrifice other’s interests for the purpose of his moral posturing. He was anathema to those of us in California who have been inundated with massive illegal immigration for the last 20 years.

[counterpunch]

He’s a jackass.

Burt I can see why she hasn't been able to get hitched yet.

Laura was about a month from the altar when her cancer was discovered. The guy dropped her. When she recovered she realized she was unlikely to find someone, get married, and have kids at her age, so she adopted rather than be childless. What does her brother's homosexuality have to do with anything? Did you want her to denounce him and cut him off?

[whatisthetruth]

Barry Farber is an excellent talent

Barry Farber was a bore, think he's been relegated to weekend radio.

One can’t underestimate the new power of the VIDEO in this era of YouTube. This is an EXTREMELY effective tool that Beck has, but Rush & Levin don’t! Rush should SERIUOSLY consider getting back into the TV/Cable biz. For, IMHO, VIDEO is the most important single tool that will purge this nation of it’s fraudulent & corrupt King Odumbo.

[Ted Grant]

That latest test week of Laura’s show for Fox News was painful. It would open with very bad, forced comedy about the news of the day. Watching unfunny people trying very hard to be funny just doesn’t cut it. It was a horrible show.
