Mark Levin compares Obama to Bernie Madoff: 'He is taking a wrecking ball to this society'
Mark Levin is happy now that he's got a bestseller decrying the tyranny certain to descend upon America under liberal rule, which Sean Hannity touted on his Fox News show last night. The appearance produced some plum bon mots fresh from Planet Wingnuttia:
Levin: What's going on in this country is really anti-liberty. The president is -- 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.
Levin evidently seems to have conveniently forgotten that Bernie Madoff was an exemplar of the laissez-faire capitalism practiced by Republicans generally and George W. Bush particularly. This is essentially accusing the person in charge of cleaning up after a demolition with having wielded the wrecking ball in the first place.
Levin also keeps referring throughout to Obama and his policies as "something foreign" and claims that he's undermining the Constitution.
Levin also claims that Obama "wants to destroy the health-care system that most of us like."
Oh really? That must be so, if your definition of "most of us" is "less than 15 percent of the population".
I suspect "us" for Levin and Hannity is their little claque of right-wing pundits and wealthy Republicans, as well as Levin's perfervid readers who've been just as eagerly drinking the Limbaugh/Beck Kool Aid.
He wraps up with this classic bit of wingnuttery:
Levin: This president has some very bizarre and alien viewpoints, ah, that were -- that, that were, you know, he was indoctrinated with, and now that I believe that he really believes in, and advances. He is a -- he is about as left wing and about as radical as anybody ever to be in the Oval Office.
Hoo boy. Talk about bizarre and alien. It must be quite the interesting view, out there on Planet Wingnuttia.
