Seems like Levin had the desired affect. You'll be back. Fish lips meet hook. LOL.

I listen to him largely to gauge the temperature of the political right, who are just as quick to deprive us of our freedoms as the Left is, so long as it's a republican in office. I can't remember if it was Savage or Levin calling for non-Iraq-war-supporters to be sent to concentration camps back in like '06. I want to say Savage, but God knows...

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.
I'm a Republican, Levin hates Republicans. So, no I don't listen to him. If I wanted to hate on myself, I would just turn on MSNBC or go out in the backyard and flog myself. The only time I hear any of the talking heads is when I'm on a road trip. Then I try and find Dennis Miller or that guy who encourages people to get debt free (forgot his name).

You may not be a liberal, but you are delusional.

There's a reason the radio has a dial. If you don't like what you hear, move the dial. Change the channel. Tune to a different frequency. Turn it off. Good grief, do you really need to complain about something in order to make your life meaningful?

Savage, there is another one that will get you going.

Been awhile since Ive listened to his Red Diaper Doper Babies rants.

I listen to him occasionally and he does present facts and maybe interprets them differently than you. But I put more strength in what he says than someone who claims he lies all the time.

Middle aged mom said
The caller said he was from Nigeria. That would make him 1/715 million people in Nigeria. Most people in Nigeria are more concerned with where their next meal is coming from than spending their meager earnings making a call to a Conservative Entertainer's radio show. The guy could have been calling from 20 feet away or around the corner. Who knows?
I didn't hear what he said today although I did hear the caller from Nigeria. He was not someone in Nigeria now he was someone from Nigeria he has 12 siblings there. He said his father said don't come home to Nigeria now it is dangerous where they live. Although personally I never accept as a fact anything callers to talk shows claim.

What, exactly, did I say that was delusional?

This entire thread is constituted of people who didn't argue a SINGLE ONE of the facts I put forth. All of which I'd be happy to source for you.

Come on, do better.

I listen to him. You say he lies? be specific. I sense that you dislike his attitude and his style of discussion more so than what he actually has to say. We all know that he is coming at us from a conservative angle. So, whats the problem exactly?

I do feel sorry for the OP. He is somehow forced to listen to Levin entirely against his will. He is unable to change the station or turn off the radio or anything to get away from Levin. All he is able to do is helplessly absorb a steady diet of "lies" .

I figured out how to work my radio and as a result, never had to listen to NPR or Scair America. A little knowledge is a wonderfu; thing.

I love listening to Levin, strictly for entertainment....I think he exaggerates and is way too black and white on issues....but I love his outrage and his tone of voice which I often imitate with great success.
