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.
This is not true. I never said I had no choice. You people that keep setting up straw men and never arguing with me...

It's important to fight back against the liars like him and Limbaugh and Shultz that keep the tyrants in power.

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.
Delusional...
Does anyone actually listen...? evidently, he's on the radio.

so what do you think? I can agree that Boehnor, McCain, and definitly Graham are RINOs. But, what about J. Bush? People say that he hasn't held office in awhile... thats true, but, look at his record as Florida Governor. Any thoughts?

LOL! How can you NOT see my point? "From some MSNBC site..." The "two" party system has convinced you, and most people of your ilk, that there are TWO OPINIONS IN THE WHOLE WORLD. MSNBC/CNN/CBS and FOX/Limbaugh/Levin. Stop. The world is so much more nuanced.

I wish a listener would ask a punk like Mark Levin, how many new American graves he thinks Yemen or any other god forsaken Middle Eastern nation is worth? Is it worth a few hundred or maybe a few thousand or if we have to sit on it for decades maybe a few tens of thousand? and Today manyt of our sodiers come back physically or mentally injured so would a few hundred thousand injured soldiers or former soldiers be worth it? If he doesn't think so I wish he would quit playing that armed forces medly and quit saying he is such a great patriot supporting our troops and providing the GOP cover for sending them in harms way fighting a sham war they can't win unless they start behaving like Hitler's SS.

I forgot no listener can get a word in edgewise for Levin is infamous for handing up the phone if someone doesn't parrot his the crap he promotes on his show or stoke his EGO. .

Okay, so, for example, a nuclear-Iran is an existential threat to Israel and, we should therefore, kowtow to all of Netanyahu's demands. First of all, the Iran nuclear myth has been dispatched with by basically anyone who's traveled to Iran to actually write about it, and frauds like David Albright, who Levin is happy to cite, have been exposed OVER AND OVER for being completely full of ****. But even that aside, if we pretend that the fatwas on nuclear prohibition were never issued, and Khamenei was somehow friendly to the creation of a nuclear weapon, Mossad themselves said it wouldn't be an existential threat to Israel:

*Advertisement

He claims that the U.S. does not "torture" anybody. What he doesn't tell you is that the JD memo sent from Alberto Gonzalez and John Yoo to the president cite some random age-old medical statute about "severe pain" needing to cause organ failure to be severe, and torture requiring severe pain, therefore nobody tortures anybody. He also doesn't admit the rendition program:

Outsourcing Torture - The New Yorker

And denies the statutory anal rape at Abu Ghraib:

US general linked to Abu Ghraib abuse | World news | The Guardian

He claims that, in the Mike Brown shooting, the "credible" eyewitness accounts corroborated the officer's story, and that the officer was a hero. The specific accounts to which he directed his praise have been admitted by McCulloch HIMSELF as a lie:

St. Louis prosecutor McCulloch says he knew ‘Witness 40′ lied to Ferguson grand jury

I can go on and on and on and on...

Because you said, in your own words (paraphrased), that disagreeing with Levin implied I was parroting MSNBC. There is a certain paradigm in which this mindset operates, to which you clearly belong, or you would not have said it.
