On his radio broadcast last night, Mark Levin noted that Ron Paul and his followers seem to be teaming up with Mitt Romney to attack and weaken every other conservatitive candite - in succession; Bachman, Perry Gingrich, and now Santorum.

Levein then launched into an attack upon the late Dr. Murray Rothbard -- an early-on free market advocate and very popular during the late 1960's when the libertarian movement broke away rrom the conservative mainsteream, with the traditionalist conservatives' social adgenda the principal point of contention.

Levin cited the late William Buckley's short and cool dismissal of Rothbard in the customary RIP in National Review, a publication normally noted for spreading a large tent for departed conservatives. Levin also dug up some references to Rotbard's apparent embrace of leftist radicalism way back in the early 1960's, when a lot of us were on the other side of the fence, or at least, at a much-diifferent angle to it.

So it would appear that the split between the traditionalist and libertarian wings of the conservative movement continues to intensify. For a lot of us, the prospact of Obama's re-election doesn't mean that much unless he has long "coattails" and pulls large numbers of the Radial-Democratic Axis into Congress, but this is an area in which conservative unity is not likely to falter, or at least, one where the Tea Party isn't going to help out Barry-O and his gang.

And when it's all over, Obama still has to pick up the ticking time bomb of an economy he has been laboring to weaken for the past four years. He can only blame George Bush and the Republicans for so long.

Levin is the most arrogant boneheaded right wing radio talking head of them all. Even more foaming at the mouth than Hannity. And he actually sounds more annoying than Hannity.

Mark Levin knows nothing about small government. He only wants certain parts of government small. He is every bit a Repube, even though he constantly pretends that he is not.

There is only a small fraction of Ron Paul supporters who would vote for Romney if he wins the nomination. An even smaller fraction would begrudgingly support Santorum.

I will vote for Ron Paul or I will vote 3rd party. The current GOP establishment wouldn't know what freedom was if it walked up and slapped them in the face.

Levin is still sour grapes over being fired (or actually his contract expired and wasn't renewed) in a major market where the station management didn't like his lying about Ron Paul on the air.

Paul campaign ads have hammered Mitt in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and Maine, along with hammering Rick & Newt.

This and the past two Presidential election cycles, have really woken me up to what is really happening, not only in this nation, but the world, with the push to a one world order, with the USA making a move to be the ruler, not the leader.

More media garbage the uninformed will gobble up and yammer about without looking into the truth.

This. Levin is definitely one of the worst "conservative" talking heads.
