Host vs. Host: Limbaugh, Levin Pummel Beck
The Atlantic Wire ^ | 02/24/10 | Jake Simpson

Posted on 02/24/2010 12:59:45 PM PST by writer33

Virtually unknown a year ago, Glenn Beck has rapidly risen to the top of the right-wing punditocracy. Witness his keynote address at CPAC, where the Fox News titan assailed Republicans and Democrats alike and called for a return to bedrock conservative values. Though conservatives bloggers were nonplussed by Beck's attacks on the right, most praised at least some elements of his speech.

Horse poop. People are more motivated than ever to get rid of the democrats. This stuff is treating us voters like we are stupid. That does not help the republican party.

The GOP has never had it so good. All the talk show guys can take credit.

This infighting is going to make a 3rd party, so they need to cut it out.

Rush was, ?mocking? (not really mocking but cannot find a better word right now) Beck by explaining what NJ Gov Christie is doing with spending. And Rush kept saying ...The R and the D are the same, yea, uh-huh... type of thing.

This whole thing is getting upsetting. I have been listening to Rush for more than a decade and love his show. Same with Mark, listening since the beginning. I know Mark has a problem with Beck, but it seems like Rush might have a problem with how Beck goes about things... nothing good is going to come from this.

Rush was definently taking underhanded pot shots at Beck today.

You want to play "he said, she said" and that's EXACTLY why the MSM is using people like you to foment dividing and conquering conservatives.

They have been doing it a lot the past few weeks and some people step right into the trap.

Hold off on our friends until you've dealt with the real enemy: Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Schumer, Waxman, etc. and when you have finished, you will be qualified to come back and judge other conservatives.

Forming a circular firing squad among us is not useful.

* By the way, it's spelled 'definitely'.

This is a great post regarding the TEA movement not the establishment of a PARTY.

It's funny, Beck says that maybe the Republicans should work harder at not sucking and all of a sudden the other talkers take umbrage.

Beck has said nothing against them.

Yes he did. Beck said they were no better than Democrats.

Ahhh, so we should be spending time touting McCain, Snowe, Graham, Collins, et al?

Wrong names!

Should be attacking Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Schumer, Waxman...they are the real enemies.

The MSM is trying to divide us and start arguments and some of us are acting as Accomplices!

I have never heard any one of them be anything other than gracious to FRIEND or FOE in the political arena.

Then you skipped a few of Levin's shows. Levin doesn't refer to Beck by name, but he surely dislikes Beck's message, mostly because he fears a third party formation attempt is coming. He mentions Savage mostly by using his Jewish name, and he clearly has no love for him.

I wish he would just concentrate on who the real enemy is, and leave these guys alone, unless they openly proclaim they are a third party, and I see no evidence that, that will be the case.

I have all of Levin's shows archived as well as Rush, for the last year, just in case our FCC diversity Czar figures out a way to silence these guys.

Rush was right on today.

Rush sees that Beck is doing damage to the conservative cause by blasting Republicans into one group. Beck is too stupid to see that there are RINOs and then there are conservative republicans.

Beck is doing nothing of the sort. He is encouraging people to get involved and to vote. He did not push for a third party in any way on Saturday at CPAC, and the RNC and party bigwigs are still making stupid decisions daily to fight the conservative movement within the party. Charlie Crist comes to mind as exhibit A. No one, including Beck, is saying Pence and Pelosi are the same. That doesn’t mean that many of us are still suspect of the party apparatus. It is fairly clear the party is positioning Romney for 2012, for example, which can’t make too many people around here real happy, including the big man in charge at FR.

Hah, Rush is also twitting Beck for that "progressive" label crap that Beck is always stuffing down our throats.

We've invested decades of hard work into turning the word "liberal" into a "trigger word" (a word that arouse a negative reaction or emotion upon being heard....for those of you in Rio Linda).

Everytime I hear Beck say "progressive" I want to stuff an eraser into his luscious lips. There's nothing progressive about liberals.....and they WANT to be called progressive, so why is Glenn playing their game?

Hmmmm?

I did not take it that Rush was blaming Obama, he was implying Beck was splitting the conservatives. And I think he is right.....

It appears this Friday Beck is going to make a push for the Libertarians on his TV show.

Rush’s message: Get with the program, Beck.

You have a big imagination and tend to make up your own facts. No such thing happened...I tape Rush every day...it was easy to check.

You're falling for the MSM divide and conquer shot aimed at conservatives. They want us playing "he said, she said" and arguing with each other.

You have just become their accomplice...way to go!

You don’t piss off the big dog when you’re an ankle-biter. I am not making anything up, but Beck drew first blood with Levin and now Limbaugh’s going to finish it.

He’s giving him his time to get off that schtick or he’ll make Beck the laughing stock.

He didn’t say that about Rush or Levin. In fact he qualified his statements, said he wasn’t talking about folks like Demint or Pence, but about Congresscritters who act just like Dems and spend, spend, and spend some more.
