Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
The Friday Rush: A series of conflicts
Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
And I am sure that a Con publishing company will make a fortune? Regergancy or something like that.
Is it already a Best Seller? Praise Jesus, that Lefty, if He still made the new Bible...
I'm sure he'd be PO'ed about the cons changing the rules this late in the game.
I have read about things Levin said, but never actually heard him speak until now.
I had to do a double-take listening to this clip because I thought I must be hearing a parody of a whiny radio blowhard. It sounded like an over-the-top SNL skit, not a real radio show.

I also like Levin's bristling at the joking about Palin. First, his calling others Beavis & Butthead when he's the only one using a tone close to that derisive "heh heh" commentary, with his name-calling and insults. I've always figured levin for another self-hating closeted GOP gay man, but he's obviously got a crush on Palin.
He's also confused that people can joke about Palin, and it works better than his making fun of the NOW. This is the same roadblock that wingnuts hit when their pointless racist jokes are pointed out, and they can't understand why leftys are allowed to make fun of individuals like Michael Steele.They really seem to be unable to see the difference between specific criticism and broad brush attacks based on stereotypes.
OT, but on the same infighting subject, the Birfers are experiencing some dissension in the ranks.
Yet, look at radical right-wingers like Levin. He served in the Reagan administration in areas like the Department of Education and the Justice Department.
In other words, when Republicans have partisan ideologues in their administration (like Laura Ingraham or Mark Levin), it's just fine and those ideologues are rewarded with radio shows, but when Obama has progressives amongst his advisors, it's a sign of the apocalypse.
It's not just the far right criticizing him for not promoting the right wing ideology that they had the last eight years to almost destroy the country with... that would be crazy enough...they seem to be telling their audience that Obama should be impeached, or certain people or organizations should be prohibited from holding office or being funded, because they're trying to enact some more liberal ideas that they were elected on.
It seems that the more fringy and insignificant the far right GOP base gets, the more frantically they need to convince themselves that they're normal/mainstream/ a majority.
And rather than try to get some coherent ideas together, or rebuild their dilapidated party in order to win some elections, they seem to be content to scream from the sidelines, expecting the majority to bend to their nutty views.

THERE! I SAID IT!!!!!!
I do hope you will get your duff up off the computer, and organize a million moron march on Washington. Levin can speak to the teeming masses that enjoy their ignorance and vindictive personalities...
the difference between the indignant pundits on the left and the indignant pundits on the right is fast disappearing: all that remains are differences in style, and even these are becoming few.
don't fight these people by gnashing your teeth over what they do: work to bring back a free press dedicated to basic journalistic principles: they really do report, and you decide.
