I ask myself often the question: "Why do people who hate and disagree with Levin even listen to him"? Why waste 3 hours 5 nights a week listening to someone you don't like? I have never understood that. But there are those people who do somewhat agree with Levin. I do. I don't share his zealot like worship of Reagan, but I do agree with him on other things. But what I witnessed tonight was typical of what makes Levin so reviled by people out here in the listening world. Even I was put off by it. Does Levin give a shit about what I think? Not hardly. He doesn't even know me, so it doesn't matter to him at all. But I can still weigh in on my own personal blog page about what I thought about it.
Being a Fecal Head for Levin consists of two primary points. (1) Levin is straight up. He says what he thinks for the most part and (2) has a sharp legal mind. This makes him engaging and it also makes him interesting to listen to. I, for the most part agree with the majority of what he says.
But tonight was interesting. Let me elaborate on what took place.
Levin is going along, ranting and raving about the government. He intersperses his rantings with fond memories of his time serving under the immortal god Reagan. The man who was incapable of having a bad thought or of even being human. Reagan was so great that even God himself would have to bow to him. Or so Levin would have us all think. Levin goes on and on ad nauseum about Reagan. But there are those moments where some of the things that Reagan said was relevant to our society. The man had good speech writers. So whoever was writing his scripts, I'm sorry I meant to say speeches is probably the one we need to be worshipping. But don't tell Levin that, we don't want to rain on his Reagan parade.
Anyway, this poor schmuck calls in around 8:30 or so and makes the critical mistake of attacking saint Reagan. I knew the minute he started that it was going to get ugly. I figure everyone in Levin's life has to endure about Reagan, so God forbid if someone makes the mistake of criticizing Reagan. The man was doomed from the time he opened his mouth.
The guy was talking about all the scandals that took place under Reagan's watch. For those of us who were alive back then and had some age on us, we remember quite well.
The guy was talking about the first inital enemy attacks on or against this country and that other things could have been done. Well Mark went ape shit at that point because the guy defiled Reagan. He tried to talk about other scandals but Mark cornered him and nailed him to the cross and cut him off and said he was not making his point. Well, yeah Mark he was.....your big mouth over rode the guy. Just because you scream louder doesn't make you right. That is so Jewish. Ever notice how the Jews will scream when they are threatened by someone? It's silly.
So I am going to come to that guy's rescue indirectly. I am going to remind those of you out there who haven't drank the Reagan KOOL-AID and mention that Cap Wineberger was no saint. He was no angel. The State Department did know what to do and who to do it to. Our State Dept is so corrupt and so black that anything that they say cannot be trusted. The State Department INSTALLS leaders in other countries. The State Department, in concert with the NSA, DOD and the CIA is so vile and corrupt that there is nothing that can be said other than that. So don't sit there Levin and tell me that the State Department didn't know who to go after. That is pure bullshit. This country knows more about what is going on in other countries than the other countries themselves do. If you were going by what you were told you were lied to. And yes, that is more than possible. Who were you to Reagan? You were so low on the totem pole that what you thought and how you felt was incidental to the whole program. You were one of the little people in the regime. You weren't on the "Need to Know" list.
Here's one for you.
Iran Contra Affair. That dreadful Oliver North. That scank Fawn Hall. But it was that engaging and wonderful entertainer George Schultz that brought things into a much sharper focus. Reagan's 2nd SOS. Obviously Reagan was so damn wonderful that it was just too much for Al Haig to stay. Tell me if you can why it was that in Reagan's cabinet that the average number of people to serve in any particular cabinet position was 3. If Reagan was so fantastically wonderful you would think that these people would have considered it a small miracle to be working for him or with him. Why the revolving door in positions? Hmmmm......
At the end of the Iran Contra hearings Reagan bellies up to the bar to tell the little people of America that he didn't know nothing. Plausible Deniability I believe is what it is called. The evidence was there that he did know things. But he lied. He did come very close to being impeached because of that. I remember those hearings well. I saw and read. I understood based on what evidence was presented.
Hang up on people, scream louder than the callers, stamp your feet, throw your petulant temper tantrums, curse the callers, DENY the facts, but do what you will and it changes nothing at all. The facts are still at the end of the day the FACTS. I'm sorry to have to tell you that, but as an attorney you shouldn't have to be reminded of this point.
Reagan isn't all that. He, like I stated in another post is just a man. He was an actor. He read a script and did what he was told. He was a figure head. He was a face for the people. When he did try to go off script he was "persuaded" to get back on script. He shut up and went away. The system in DC swallowed him up and spit him out. He accomplished nothing because where are we today? What he did made no difference, no one cares. All the people care about is that they get what they want when they want it and they will thank everyone else to get out of their face. You are just like the other people.
On your show you bask in the warm squishiness of the adulation that is heaped on you by your followers. You love the kudo's and the graveling and the sucking up that they do. Sometimes it is downright nauseating to hear it. You can hear it and you sit there and lap it up. Shameless.
The best part of your show is the first hour and a half. After that it goes downhill. You start taking calls and it is over at that first call for the most part. What you should do is stop taking calls and just talk. The callers actually degrade the show. But I figure that you run out of steam and need that fix that only adulation can fulfill. It's like a drug isn't it? To be honest I would rather hear you sucking on a bong and getting stoned instead of you doing the drug of "needing to be told you are the Great One". My question is great how? How are you great? Are you great because you have a radio show? Is that it? What qualifies you to have that show and give your opinion? What makes your opinion so special? Are you an authority on what you speak about? Or are you just giving your opinion?
You should just never have taken that guy's call tonight. Stop taking calls. Just talk. Try to stay away from Reagan and talk about what is relevant. Can you do that? Or are you so enamored of Reagan that you can't stop. You remind me of a girl who has a crush on some guy and no matter where the conversation goes she manages to work that guy's name into the conversation. Quite silly actually. Do you have a crush on Reagan, Mark? Do you have a shrine dedicated to him at home that you worship at everyday 4-5 times a day? It sounds like it sometimes.
I'm going to give you a piece of advice that you might do well to consider.
No matter who votes come November, it's over for the people. No matter who votes. The reason being that no matter who votes and who gets elected it won't matter in January. Because in November there is going to be an avalanche of laws and god knows what else passed. In those 60-80 days after the election it is going to be a tsunami of bill passing going on. There will be NOTHING that anyone can do about it once they get into office. It will be a done deal. The Dems know this and are vacationing now so that when they get back they will be able to get down to business and do the heavy lifting of bill passing. It's all over. You are wasting your time. We are all wasting our time unless we are being about our own personal survival after January. Those people who are sitting back waiting for November and not preparing for their own future are going to be the ones hurt the worst. You are doing more harm than good at this point. This is why you are allowed to remain on the air because of what you are doing. You are actually helping the Dems. Keep up the good work. What would they do without you?
