WATCH Mark Levin: Obama's Policies Are "Bernie Madoff Times A Thousand"

Right-wing talk radio firebrand Mark Levin was a guest on Sean Hannity's self-titled Fox News show and unleashed a diatribe against President Obama.

Responding to Hannity's question of why his book "Liberty and Tyranny" is doing so well, Levin lit into Obama, calling his policies "Bernie Madoff times a thousand;" Obama "is taking a wrecking ball to this;" and that Obama's ultimate goal is to "destroy the middle class."

Hannity cheers him on the whole way through (his favorite way of referring to Levin is as "The Great One"), although it's questionable if the Republican party wants Levin out there as the face of their ideology considering the man has a history of embarrassing himself and conservatism.

WATCH

Mark Levin to Hannity:

Because I think the American people are fundamentally liberty-loving people. And what's going on in this country is really anti-liberty. The President, you know, they just put Bernie Madoff away for life; the President's policies are Bernie Madoff times a thousand. He is taking a wrecking ball to this society. The American people love this country. They love its institutions; they revere the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. What the President is peddling is something utterly foreign. He's dragging us into what de Toqueville called a 'soft tyranny.' And really I don't know what the limits are on the power of the presidency anymore. They used to call Bush an imperial president, which was ridiculous, this is a real, live imperial president, who wants to dictate light bulbs to what medicines you get, to student loans and credit card interest rates. He doesn't have the constitutional authority to be doing all these things.

[...]

He lied. Matter of fact he's taken his page right out of Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals. Saul Alinsky essentially said, look, you gotta sound like you're for the middle class. You gotta sound like you're from the middle class. And then you destroy the middle class.

st...st...­st...straw man.

C'mon Mr. Unibrow, you can do better than that.

[Firestarterfive]

There goes FOXSPEWS and their guests, dancing and skipping around what they 'really' want to say:

"There's a n****r in the White House."

[SimianNation]

Agreed!

[Joeinloth]

Maybe they can change the name of the show to "Blazing A-holes"!

[oncethere]

When nuts like these speak of freedom and liberty, they mean freedom to take and steal as much as possible without govt regulation. Listen to their show for five minutes and it is clear they don't have a show that encourages freedom of speech, differing opinions and such.

[pfc1369]

These twirps won't be happy until they break every toy in sight.

[audatious]

I think its the democrates fault to allow these clowns to keep talking and spreading lies and fear without response where are the liperal radio talk shows? there are few liperals but they are not loud enough to respond. I think only KO has to guts to respond and respond loudly. what should happen is to have equal voices to counterattack these clowns. It’s time to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine.

[BambooHarvester]

The Radio Market is OWNED lock stock and barrel by repubican corps
and have locked out progressive talk under the lie that it's unprofitable.

[superbowl3]

That’s right. Liberals only agree with free speech as long as you agree with their opinion. Can the fairness doctrine keep an eye on MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, AP, and PBS too? Let me guess. You only want the fairness doctrine to be enforced for Fox News and talk radio. Do I see a hypocrite over there?

[skatscan]

waaaaaa,

[BlackJAC]

Two words: "Dixie Chicks." Now sit back down.

[LeftLeanWing]

that's right
we want you to pay a fee for talking

only conservatives are talking about the fairness doctrine.

would have come in handy when you conservatives were gripping about obama's abc health care 'infomercial'
huh ?

plus
as much as your guys talk - you conservatives still have no control over anything

BUT THE RADIO !

you are free to speak now ...

[levelshot]

HP please ignore the cluster%*&$ of clowns at Fake News. The more attention you give the crazier they act and sound.

[lcdbsez]

The scariest part of all this is . . .

The sheeple out there really believe this crap.

And, having it repeated over and over again, is the key to making it stick -- just one of the many little gimmicks of Josseph Goebbel's that Karl Rove et al, are so fond of.

It's the subliminal (and otherwise) message, stupid!: overthrow the government so a new "city on the hill" can be built on its ashes . . . or whateverrrrr bullcrap jibberish they pull out of their asses.

[sandals]

Hurry everybody run for cover, Obama is turning us into a SOCIALIST NATION!
What a bunch of fear mongering fools!
They don't every take responsibility for anything they say, but tell people that they need to take responsibility for their own actions, HYPOCRISY, that is what they do best!

[DubyaGump]

Sean your gray is showing, time for a touch up!

[Dynalisia]

I just wonder what kind of person these people think Obama is. What possible reason would he have for wanting to 'destroy' the middle class. No really? Say that Obama sucks, say that he's messing stuff up, that he doesn't know what he's doing and creating a huge problem. But don't say that he's somehow a supervillain, it's just childish.

[takeyourballandgohome]

Also, along with the languae that Obama is "peddling"­....that's a catchy word for the middle class to grab on to. Door to door salesman mentality? Bring it up a notch.

[LORISNJ]

I'm still waiting for Bill O's taxes to go up - he said he would quit if they did. Sean & Mark are appealing to their base of 22% - to them our President is the worst ever and even if they end up prospering during his tenure, they will not change their view - SO "F" EM!

[kasinca]

Wingnuttery at it finest. Project much? Destroy the middle class from a wingnut who served under Ed Meese and Ronnie Raygun the great destroyer and then the great community college dropout, Inssannity. Who watches this crap

[Drdemocrat]

Whom ever watches Hannity doesn't like Obama any ways so it really doesn't matter.

[tnduffin]

"You gotta sound like you're from the middle class. And then you destroy the middle class." Isn't that the mantra of the GOP? While I am not particularly happy with how Obama has done so far, I'm not really sure he is worse than the last eight years. Plus, I understand that he has to fight against a political party that stands for the complete opposite of whatever it is he is trying to accomplish. So, Obama is dragging us into tyranny? You mean he is doing things like illegal wiretapping, detaining without due process, invading a sovereign nation, and throwing us into great debt? I'm sorry... I thought that was the result of some other president.

[takeyourballandgohome]

Many times the toneand choice of vocabulary is all it takes to click to another channel from Hannity. A person of integrity and honor does not refer to our President as "peddling". Water seeks it's own level and the guests on this Hannity program, although usually are just their own hacks, Rove, Coulter, and how I love seeing toe-sucking with honor Morris!

Palin just might be their 'sweetie' (Rush's term for her), the level of intellectual curiosity and dull observation seems to fit these guests.

Too bad they are only accustomed to their President doing diddley squat, that they're in a panic about Obama's agenda...t­hey just can't keep up to chewing gum and riding a bicycle at the same time.
