This is like a month old, but I don't care because it's just too awesome. I've never heard of Mark Levin or David Frum before. I guess they're both conservative radio hosts. But there's a problem. And Mark Levin WILL. NOT. HAVE IT. David Frum seems to have developed -- brace yourself -- a mind of his own. He actually has the audacity to question the collective. His programming is malfunctioning, and he's become self-aware. Here's an excerpt from an article he wrote on March 2.
"On the one side, the president of the United States: soft-spoken and conciliatory, never angry, always invoking the recession and its victims. This president invokes the language of “responsibility,” and in his own life seems to epitomize that ideal: He is physically honed and disciplined, his worst vice an occasional cigarette. He is at the same time an apparently devoted husband and father. Unsurprisingly, women voters trust and admire him.

And for the leader of the Republicans? A man who is aggressive and bombastic, cutting and sarcastic, who dismisses the concerned citizens in network news focus groups as “losers.” With his private plane and his cigars, his history of drug dependency and his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history, Rush is a walking stereotype of self-indulgence – exactly the image that Barack Obama most wants to affix to our philosophy and our party. And we’re cooperating! Those images of crowds of CPACers cheering Rush’s every rancorous word – we’ll be seeing them rebroadcast for a long time."
And here's where it gets good. On Mark Levin's radio show, he and David Frum have a spirited discussion on the article.



DAVID FRUM, YOU COMMIE SHITBAG, STEP THE FUCK BACK IN LINE.

I listened to Rush Limbaugh on the drive to Macomb a couple weeks ago to clean out my apartment. I do this because I'm a masochist. And I had no CD player. He said that Barack Obama is trying to buy out and control all the minority radio stations so he can spread his message and brainwash us. Obama's also Hugo Chavez. And black.

They really can't get over that black thing. They're obsessed with it. When Hannity interviewed Rush a couple months ago, I couldn't stop laughing at the way Rush said the following sentence, and this is paraphrased from memory: "The only reason the media loves Barack Obama is because he's black." This statement is hilariously retarded by itself, but it was doubly funny because Rush lowered his voice when he said "because he's black." Good thing the blacks don't watch national television, or they might have heard him!

Conservatives on television and radio always love reminding their audiences about their high ratings. And by high ratings, I mean big penises. They have bigger penises higher ratings than deh libruls, you know. This isn't because they actually speak truth, it's because they know what entertains. It isn't even about the message. They know what keeps people listening, and so they do it. For crying out loud, they got me listening. They've trapped me! But I don't feel guilty about listening to Rush, because I zone out when the commercials come on, and commercials are his only source of revenue. Seriously, does anyone even pay attention to commercials? Ever? It's always been a wonder to me how advertising is actually effective. I don't understand it.

"The formula for making you, the viewer, the listener, mad hasn't changed a bit, yet people keep falling for it."



I just can't understand why he's gone through three divorces. He sure does appreciate the sanctity of marriage.

  1. Hey Jason, we are lucky to have a progressive radio station in Madison, and one of the things they point out is when you look at head to head between conservitive and librul radio, progressive radio holds it's own or is beating the conservitives in markets where all things are equal (signal strenght).
    One of the things Rush did when he started out is that he gave his show away for free. That's right, stations payed nothing to air his show. Rush made money on the national advertising. Also Mark Levin is rumored to be the writer of all of Sean Hannities books, and to supply Hannity with all of his talking points.

  2. Well that's no surprise to me, you're up there in Madison with all those east coast librul New York Times elitists. Just sip your wine cooler and move on.
