If you listen to this guy, why? I don't mean that to be an insult framed as a rhetorical question, either. I really want to know, why? Do you not realize how full of lies almost EVERYTHING this guy says is?

And before you smear me and try to assassinate my character and call me a lefty and a liberal or a commie... I'm AS far from liberal as you could be. Liberals are just as bad as conservatives and their pundits lie just as much, they just lie differently. So don't accuse me of that, because you'd be totally wrong. The full spectrum of world opinion does not fall along the right-left divide, and neither do I.

I hope politics is the correct forum to put this in.

hmm... I would like to expore this a bit further, would you mind providing one of his statments that you claim is a lie so we can kick the tires a bit?

I have listend to Mark from time to time. but not often. He is a bit more angry than I am so......


but I dont remember him saying something that struck me as a lie.

happy to agree with you if you can find some actual statement he made that was in fact a lie.

Mark Levin has 2 issues.

1. Foreign policy is black and white. There is no grey no other solution then to continue to be involved in everything these countries believe. Now I don't believe the WEST and the the Middle east have much in common as far as the ideals of life and religion. Because of this we are in the middle of culture and economic battle over what kinda of relationships we have with them. Now if we continue to be a self dependent oil nation and work with western countries we will continue to have a good economic future.

2. Mark confuses constitutional defense of the nation with defense of our nation and has spent to much time thinking as many neocons that we must remake the middle east in some military peace thru strength.


A level headed conservative would do this. trade with them, remove all sanctions, all foreign aid and all military support and funding for them. Leaving one warning, attack us and we will level your entire nation. Tell them to fix your extremist who are FUNDED by rich extremist within your countries of they can not continue to fight a holy war without money and a support system. The united states should not continue to fund terrorist nations in any form and the richest Islamist should be monitored and then be attacked on the day we are attacked.

Who funds ISIS?
Who provides the propaganda for ISIS who in the us government is providing intel to ISIS.

Here, listen to these guy's:

Executive Summary

You'll be tuning back to Mark afterwards. Have you read any of his books?

My dad listens to him ALL THE TIME. I'm in CO Springs too (So I don't know anything according to one poster ).

Mark is annoying in that he yells all the time.

I haven't caught him outright lying, but I don't follow the boring political stuff he talks about too much. What annoys me most about him is that he beats the same issues into the ground, divides everyone among everyone, makes everything a hill to die on, and sacrifices baby kitties to the founding fathers. He shoots at irrelevant points, like eliminating the national debt or living how the founding fathers did, while ignoring issues today and ignoring any sort of criticism, but I think every talk show host does these things.
