The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...Mark Levin!

Mark Levin is a profile in serial conservafoolery.

When I heard about this incident, I was trying to figure out where I'd heard the name Mark Levin. It turns out he got an entry on the old Conservative Fool Of The Day blog on 2/5/07. He was the right-wing radio loudmouth who nominated Rush Limbaugh for the Nobel Peace Prize. As head of a right-wing legal advocacy group, Levin was also known for filing frivolous complaints against agencies such as the EPA. But just because you already got one entry no longer means you can't get another, Mark.

Mark Levin is one of many conservative media hacks who can't accept any opinion other than their own. Now he's demanding that MSNBC fire or suspend Keith Olbermann. Olbermann, incidentally, is one of few bright spots in the cable TV talk show business - especially MSNBC, which has otherwise become nearly a carbon copy of Faux News. (Instructively, Olbermann has the highest rated show on the channel.)

What ignited Levin's fragile temper? He's mad because Olbermann reportedly accused Bush of creating an America that includes "cold-blooded killers who will kill people to achieve their political objectives."

Uh, Mark? Have you been paying attention the past 8 years?

Levin claims Olbermann said this about American soldiers. However, this is an outright lie. Olbermann was clearly referring to shady Washington operatives, not America's courageous fighting men and women. Levin says Olbermann gave "aid and comfort to the enemy" - which he knows isn't true. (Incidentally, Keith Olbermann's commentary also exposed the fact that Bush lied about giving up golf after the war started.)

If Mark Levin thinks you're being a propagandist for an enemy nation by criticizing Bush, what does he call the conservatives who wanted to overthrow Bill Clinton because he wouldn't adopt Singapore's unfair judicial system?

This is just more proof that talk-shit radio lives in a completely different world from Joe or Jo Sixpack out there. Talk radio doesn't represent you, me, or other hard-working Americans. Instead it represents the 20% crowd that still gives Bush marks that are even average. You have to laugh at talk-shit hosts who think listeners out there will follow an anti-people Republican party line that's antithetical to their interests.

I know you're probably getting some real laughs at Mark Levin's expense, but he's actually not too funny. His campaign to fire Keith Olbermann has already incited commenters in the wingnutosphere to threaten physical violence against Olbermann. Conservafools may be idiots, but they can be dangerous idiots.
