Levin Hammers ‘Hypocrite’ Krauthammer, ‘Obsessive’ Hume for Attacks on Cruz and Trump
Breitbart ^ | 12/15/15 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 12/16/2015 4:52:14 PM PST by VinL

..Levin first singled out Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer for criticizing Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump for switching his positions. Levin pointed out that Krauthammer was a speechwriter for former Vice President Walter Mondale, who ran against Ronald Reagan as the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 1980 and as the Democratic presidential nominee in 1984.

"I'l tell you something else, I'm sick and tired of his intelligence being questioned by the stupidos on cable TV," Levin said. "He's an incredibly brilliant man, as are many of the people on that stage, incredibly. We got to sit here and listen to former Mondale staffers, a Mondale staffer says, "Well, he changes his view "

"Here's a guy, our friend Charles, who worked for Walter Mondale when Ronald Reagan was president, who supported Carter and Mondale against Reagan and Reagan," he continued. "And he changed his view but apparently only he can change his view. And now he's Mr. Conservative. OK, fine, fine, but you are a bit of a hypocrite."

Later in the segment Levin took aim at Fox News Channel senior political analyst Brit Hume, who he argued had an "obsessive hate" for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97%, also a candidate for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

"By the way, I have to say this and I don't want to say this because I like the man, but he is exposing himself, so be it," Levin said. “I don’t know of anybody that has more obsessive hate for Ted Cruz than Brit Hume at Fox. It’s not personal. I’m just telling you what I observe. Go ahead and read his – look, it’s open. Go ahead and read his Twitter comments. It’s incredible.”

Levin then returned to Krauthammer....

Cruz has publically stated FOX is supporting Rubio

I was disappointed in Brit the other night. He made comments that came strait from GOP senators that don't like Cruz. Now all the FOX tools are making the same comments.

Trump/Cruz —that’s a winning ticket!

That’s what has RINOs like Perino, The Kraut, and George Will crying in their beer.

Jeb can just go jump out of a plane with his old man.

He is a loser.

I lost what little respect I had for Hume when he called Cruz a Judas for calling McConnell a liar on the senate floor.

Hume was practically shaking with hatred.

GOPee is doing just that!

I read a post, earlier, on another forum...

Trump now owns Cruz, Rush AND Levin.

Maybe that’s what they were referring to ;)

Fox News is owned by The Cheap Labor Express
They want the borders open and the laws unenforced
They have spent millions buying our politicians
Trump can’t be bought
That’s why they hate him

Dr Bennett is morning ( and recent mornings ) has been talking about an inverse phenomenon as I will call it. It is RINO's not voting for the candidate because he is too gosh or whatever, aka Trump and they will vote for Hillary instead.

Who is he talking about? Well he keeps saying they are people he dines with and the are well known names that he can't divulge.

Do your homework, you can probably figure out who they are, he has mentioned who he hangs with before.

It won't be the base who stays home this time, it will be the RINO's...

"And they don't like Cruz because he did not become a part of the GOP club. Bret is picking up where Brit half way left off."

Then at that point how are they not Walter Cronkite Lite. Seriously can they look back in the mirror and see what they have become?

... but nice to see him acknowledging Trump.

Hard to keep ignoring the continuous front runner for the past six months, and still climbing.

Substantively, I thought Cruz answered Brett’s onslaught very well. However, this was the first time I’ve seen Ted a bit flummoxed. In the middle of the relentless questioning, Ted actually stammered at one point like King George. My first thought that his stammer could be used later by Rubio or the Hildabeast in an attack ad questioning Ted’s truthfulness. We’ll see how this all plays out!

I have quit listening to former radio conservatives like Bill Bennett and Hugh Hewitt...both have shown their inside the beltway favoritism and have done more damage to the Republican base with their anti- trump,Cruz etc. Atleast Rush flat out refuses to back any one person until AFTER the primary season.

yesterday, Charles actually said a favorable word towards Trump.

I am awaiting tomorrow and his bet. He seems to have changed his overall position such that he will be betting more on Trump and perhaps nothing on wine women and song
