An Indictment Against Conservative Media
RedState ^ | January 31, 2016 | Susan Wright

Posted on 01/31/2016 9:32:24 AM PST by EveningStar

...At this very critical juncture in our history, while our nation and our liberties have been ravaged by the Obama years, and life as we know it in this nation hangs precariously by a thread, Fox News, Limbaugh, Levin, and Hannity have gambled with our future, knowing we have no collateral to back up the game. For months, these fair weather friends of conservatism have heaped slovenly, starry-eyed adoration on Donald Trump. Trump - that gilded toad, who's conservative history began at about the time he decided to run as a Republican has been shoved in our faces from the day he announced, garnering twice as much attention as any actual, proven conservative candidate by Fox News...

Mark Levin's fans are voicing feeble defenses of the man these days, pointing out how harsh he's being with Trump. GEE... Welcome to the party, Mark! For months, Levin couldn't stop talking of Trump's brilliant strategy, how he was tapping into conservative angst. He wasn't PC and the so-called establishment couldn't stand it! Oddly enough, in 2011, Levin said of Trump, "Trump is NOT the real deal. He will get Obama re-elected. This is not a game. This is not a circus. He is not a conservative... We should not encourage this," But a mere 4 years later, Levin was one more clown under the Big Top. His recent return to his senses is too little, too late...

So, back in 2011 when he called Donnie a shyster and a charlatan, was he wrong then?

Were you ashamed of him then?

I think you have replied to the wrong person, as I have no idea what you’re talking about.

To do that, we need to change the mind-set of individual Americans. That is a tall order with the current generation.

What should be worrying freepers is not Trump's crowds, but Bernies', that is a movement that is harder to fix considering they have spent the last 30 years changing the heart of America, making it fit to join GHWB's New World Order.

I honestly don’t think Sanders’ followers are salvageable.

“But in this case, I think it is because Trump has become a GOPe candidate”

Well I don’t see Trump as a GOPe candidate but I do agree with your take on Hewitt.

Hugh’s show is live on 960 AM out of Phoenix. If I’m home I listen to it online. Never thought I’d miss the weasel, but it’s like the NY Yankees, I enjoy booing them.

Donald Trump is a johnny come lately who threatens to take down the conservative movement and make alliance (deals) with the left as he reverts to his lifelong commitment to big government and crony capitalism.

Mark Levine is beyond conservative/liberal analysis, he builds from the ground up with a thorough commitment to the founders/framers understanding of political philosophy as expressed in the Constitution. Limited by his responsibility to maintain listenership, he spends much time educating listeners about the Constitution and he will really get into the weeds if necessary to bring the folks up to speed.

“I honestly don’t think Sanders’ followers are salvageable.”

They’re salvageable if they’re young and dumb with heads full of leftist drivel that they imbibed in college. Then there’s hope that they will grow up and wise up.

I apologize. I was on another thread and mistakenly replied in that vein. It was on a completely different topic.

I never heard him say that. But I do remember that he was happy when DJT appeared at Tea Party rallies, as I’m sure you do.

You’re free to produce the audio that proves he said that, and I will gladly listen to it.

More than anything else, I am ashamed that he continues to hang on to his veneer of impartiality. He is MAD. He is MAD that Trump may, and I stress “may,” have outsmarted The Smartest Man In The Senate. He is MAD that DJT has outed his guy as flat out dishonest, over the Canadian birth thing; enough so that Levin is twisted in pretzels over it, saying some of the dumbest things that ever came out of his mouth. Cruz never mentioned this to the voters of TX, and you can expect him to have an opponent next time, because of it. There’s more but I have to go to bed. I work at night.

Levin is just flat-out mad. And if you think I’m the only one who has noticed it, go over to Alexa and see what is going on with his ratings and show position.

I remember McGovern voters who went on to become rabid Reagan partisans. College kids are often driven by passion more than good sense. People can get wiser with age and experience.

You must be referring to Yeshua, and not Hey Zeus.

Susan Wright talks like a liberal elite... an elite who looks down on 'the people' and thinks only elites should make the important decisions.

That so insulting.

Even fellow elites like Hannity (in her mind) must take responsibility for feeding the masses the wrong information.

It never occurs to GOPe elite women like Susan Wright - that our system of government works BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE - NOT IN SPITE OF THEM...

And if she thinks differently I'd like her to share with us a sane country - ANY sane country - that is run by 'elites'. South American hellholes are run by elites... so are most totalitarian thug countries. Why? Because after a time elites start making laws for their own benefit - and to assuage their guilt they give money to the criminal classes.

Not a lot of 'middle class' in countries run by elites.

The exception is 'royalty'... because those people govern not because they want to but because it's a responsibility they accept.

So please Susan Wright, give me a list of countries run by 'elites' that aren't hellholes.

"Salem Radio that broadcasts Mark Levin...."

Salem Radio does not syndicate "The Mark Levin Show" - Westwood ONE is the syndicator for "The Mark Levin Show", as well as "The Savage Nation" and other shows. Some Salem owned stations air Levin's show and other non-Salem shows.
