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.

How does FOX get such high ratings? Are they that comical or are there 1000s of them keying their remote to FOX every second? What a joke network, remember they gave us Bush.

[BambooHarvester]

Some should look into the veracity of fox "news" ratings ?

[DonTrolleone]

Because they cater to the lowest common denominator which is fear. If people really stopped to think about what they were actually seeing, no one would watch fox.

[ladyv]

Because the 21% only watches FOX and the remaining 79% is split over 3-5 other networks, plus a lot of the 79% gets their news online, not on television.

[BambooHarvester]

TV / network "news" is not a reliable and is mostly obsolete.

the majority may decide that healthcare, family time and "a living wage" are beneficial to society as a whole, but they are not rights.

[skatscan]

Ahhh, a better society. Why fight for that? It's just socialism. CEOs can't get by on a mere seven figure salary.

[BambooHarvester]

Wilburrr..­. I'd be will to bet a wheelbarrow full of dung ...
that the degrees of separation between mark levin and bernie madoff are
significantly fewer ... than that of President Obama and madoff.

"Obama's ultimate goal is to "destroy the middle class.""

'cos that's how you get re-elected­... by destroying the middle class... that would be such a brilliant strategy by Obama.... what a joke these people are... don't they think before they speak?

More nonsense from FAUX

Hats off to anyone who read that entire link at the end. I think I fell into a coma 3 scrolls down.

[Zengeist]

Fear mongering for the dunce cap crowd. I mean, you really have to be utterly manipulable.

[denicci1977]

If Obama is Madoff, then where does that put big spender Bush ?

[jonmonbuckeye]

I know, peddling democracy and respect for the rule of law is such a foreign concept... freakin Republicans.

[Coltrane1234]

Bush wasn't an imperial president, but Obama is.

[tothcarp]

alternate universe

[juanjo]

I hope you are trying to say something tongue in cheek. If not them you really need to explain your reasoning.

[NSeagle78]

tongue in cheek

[Coltrane1234]

So Obama should get 150,000 years in prison?

[coolmessanger]

Come on people!
Who cares for what fox news barks?
indigent little network vomiting its own hatred over ding dong brains...
