TRUMP, LEVIN RIGHT ABOUT ROVE

[Chuck58]

Someone mentioned not knowing Dr Ben Carson's position on gun control.

When asked by Glenn Beck if people should be allowed to own semi-automatic weapons, Dr. Benjamin Carson said: "It depends on where you live. I think if you live in the midst of a lot of people, and I’m afraid that that semi-automatic weapon is going to fall into the hands of a crazy person, I would rather you not have it."

Dr. Carson added that if you live “out in the country somewhere by yourself” and want to own a semi-automatic weapon, “I’ve no problem with that.”(Glenn Beck Show, March 1, 2013)

So basically, it's what he said - It depends on where you live.

What gets me upset is Hannity having Rove on so much. I used to enjoy watching Hannity, but tend to avoid his program more. Dennis Miller on O'Reilly is great---and O'Reilly is more tolerable since he seems to be veering away from his sucking up to Obama. I guess he finally saw the light.

Rove is desperately trying to keep the limelight. His day is over, and as his recent jibes at the Tea Party, and his allegiance to the failed Republicans show, wont help him in the long run. His career is dead, what we are seeing is a last ditch attempt to keep it on life support.

Rove is part of the problem.

SLW, Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, et al, are all whores. They are on the right side for the most part, but their own popularity and the paycheck it brings is more important to them than anything, and everything they do is geared to promote that popularity. As such, they tend to get behind whomever they perceive to be winning the day. They will change allegiance if the facts on the ground change. For example, Hannity currently is doing a careful dance between being "supportive" of the Tea Party and being chummy with the old guard (e.g. Rove, McCain, Graham, et al). He will wait to see who seems to be prevailing before choosing sides. Most of the others I mentioned do much the same.

The only exception that I am familiar with is Mark Levin. He marches to his own drummer and is highly principled, IMHO. He has no problem vilifying the dead wood in the GOP and calling them on their failure to uphold conservative values. I am sure there are others out there, but I think the big three are just in business.

Please. Rush invented the business.

No...not really. It was around long before him. He's just the one that saved if from the likes of Larry King Sally Jessee Raphael Dr. Toni Grant and Dr. Dean Edell.

His was one of the first programs that brought it to the daytime and didn't relegate talk radio to latenight AM crap that you only listened to to keep you awake on a long drive.

And in reality...the first person to do the kind of talk that Rush et al are doing was Bob Grant.

You don't get O'Reilly then. He may have conservative leanings but he is critical of Republicans often. He's certainly no echo chamber. Also, if you want a good, young conservative radio guy, Andrew Wilkow is great. He's the reason I have sirius.

The guy is awesome.
