"The Great One"
In defense of Mark Levin, having fans like his must do strange things to a man’s ability to perceive reality. Check out this update on his Facebook page, where he simply says, “Frank Rich is a putz.” The comments that follow are about as weirdly sycophantic as you can imagine. “Yes he is Mark!” one man writes. “That is why you are known as the ‘great one’.” Lots of folks wrote LOL, as if his status update was a successful joke.
And my favorite comment by far? “LOL I had a dog named ‘Putz’ and always think of him when I hear that term,” a woman named Jennifer writes. “It’s hard for me to think of it as an insult since I loved that dog so much. However, I take it as intended and agree that Frank Rich is a putz.”
You can’t say he doesn’t change people’s minds!
I agree with you Conor. Again.

Mark Levin is like your Moby Dick, isn’t he, Conor?

Your a Great American Conor Friedersdorf!

Mark Levin = A big dick? Sounds about right.

I just marvel at the magical thinking of Levin and Co.
Like I said, either Palin makes her own party and conservatives lose two election cycles, or she runs as a republican and conservatives lose two election cycles.
And Levin thinks calling Frank Rich highschool names invalidates his argument?
incroyable

I came to praise you, but have been preempted by others who recognized your subtle genius. Nevertheless, I must say America owes you a debt of gratitude that Mark “un-LEVINed by wisdom” will never understand. LOL.

Tread carefully: the irony is about to collapse under its own weight.

Are you trying to bate Mark Levin again or what? Its just a stupid facebook status and people are light heartedly commenting. Who cares? You make WAY too much of dumb little things. In fact, why am I even commenting on THIS? I have no idea.

I guess the chances of someone confusing his page with Wayne Gretzy’s are pretty slim.

LOL. whatabuncha heels. I guess if you shovel BS you will attract fly-brains (i.e. 94% of all conservatives).
o’course, I spose TAS has matoko, so I gots some sympathy for the bellower.

I agree with everyone above—Conor’s post destroyed Levin. And that Frank Rich is a treasure!

Statistic du jour, and a much bigger problem than Palin IMHO.
94% of conservatives are “fly-brains” and I mean that in the non-ghetto vernacular, and 94% of scientists are NOT-republicans.
This has been the astonishing public service announcement of the day.
Feeling lonely, Dr. Riddick?

Easy, now. Mark is sensitive. And, in view of his limitations, with good reason

LOL I had a dog named Mark Levin so I always think of him when I hear that name. His barking was SO annoying, but my grandparents really loved to listen to him yapping.

My favorite comment by far was “True words were never spoken.” I believe the little Levin fan meant “Truer words were never spoken,” but he had a little Freudian slip there. :)
