The entire conservative news complex has a basic theme: conservatives as victims, media bias, outrage of the day, feed it, fuel it.
There is almost nothing from the conservative news complex which seeks to calmly explain, compare & contrast, educate, persuade and convince.
Very shallow, poorly developed cliche of an argument that gets re-gurgitated over and over. Have you even bothered to read one of Levin's books?

Reagan and Milton Friedman educated, compared, convinced and persuaded.
These guys in media line their pockets, because they know how to play "conservatives."
That characterization of Levin is very short-sighted and limited. Levin provides solid fundamental Constitutional education for millions of people everyday.
Sure, he has a lot of PASSION; we'd be much better served if more of our Conservative politicians and pundits had even 10% of the PASSION that Levin brings to the air every day.
He also isn't afraid to call "a spade, a spade" and when he is telling the truth about Vichy Republicans, it tends to get under their skin. He started tonight's show telling how one of these fascist worms (unidentified prominent House Republican) is trying to get his show removed from the air on the station in this vile creature's home district. (And some people wonder why we are fed up with these quislings! )

I've been warnin' ya that this would be the inevitable result of the incessant and dishonest GOP bashing.
Ya just can't keep callin' people names (Vichy, fascist worms, vile creatures) and expect there to be no retaliation.

I'm viewing the situation from a big picture; eg. what has been the result of doing what has been done? We lost 5 of the last 6 popular nation votes, while listening to Rush, and Levin screaming.
Doing the same thing over and over is insanity.
If it was a military battle, and we had a really cool artillery piece, and it sounded really powerful when it was fired, but it failed to kill enemy soldiers or advance the front line, would a rational person go on just firing it to hear the sound?

Or would we reevaluate our overall approach?
IMHO the reason we lost 5 of the last 6 popular nation votes was not Rush or Levin. Part of the problem is that the battle is being run by generals in the GOPe who seriously want replacing.
In addition we have a massive problem with voter fraud.
Electronic voting machines can easily be hacked.
Early voting is open to fraud.
Because of political correctness no one verifies that those who vote are citizens
Military votes are suppressed, i.e. 'lost in the mail'. Hundreds of voting districts and the DoD outsource counting their votes to a company in Spain run by citizens of the world with no accountability.
No one with the power to do anything about it has investigated numerous complaints of fraud which interesting worked in favor of Zero, e.g. machines that automatically changed votes from Romney to Obama.
And . . . there's other results of Cultural Marsim such as the complicity of the media, the dumbing down of the school system
