[Celerity]

16. That guy's voice makes my skin crawl. I can't see how he could be

a happy person with the way he rages all the time - just like trump.

[Comfortably_Numb]

22. He sounds like Raymond Reddington's fixer that works at the DMV.

[Celerity]

6. his shitty book

[GenThePerservering]

29. That advance review

is such marketing horseshit - people get paid by the line to crap that stuff out. Look for it in the remainder pile in less than a year, along with Cryin' Kari's book.

[The Grand Illuminist]

7. Political affiliation is not a protected class.

2 can play the discrimination game. I hope businesses demand proof of party to get service and deny the right.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

8. Awwww! Ain't that just too bad!

[AllaN01Bear]

9. oh boo hoo. well whah

[Orrex]

10. Does this person exist?

Never heard of him.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

11. yes indeed.. on radio every weekday talking RW nonsense. highest score for "outrage" talk.

A 2016 study which sought to measure incendiary discourse on talk radio and TV found that Levin scored highest on its measure of "outrage". The study looked at 10 prominent radio and television programs, known for incendiary discourse on political matters, and scored content on the basis of whether it used "emotional display", "misrepresentative exaggeration", "mockery", "conflagration", "slippery slope", "insulting" or "obscene language", and other factors, finding that Levin was the radio host who engaged in the most outrage.

The study found that he utilized "outrage speech or behavior at a rate of more than one instance per minute."[2] In How Democracies Die, Harvard University political scientists Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky write that Mark Levin was among the popular right-wing talk radio hosts who "helped to legitimate the use of uncivil discourse" in American politics, and contribute to the erosion of democratic norms.[67] According to Politico, Levin has a "penchant for hysteria."[68]

was Chief of staff for Edwin Meese

[Orrex]

13. Ah. Ick.

It would be a real shame if he fell in an open manhole and drowned in hot raw sewage.

[dgauss]

15. Understandable, but he does exist as far as I can tell.

Seems like a crude AI version of an outraged Republican pundit but he was around before that technology so he's more like a prototype or template.

[Skittles]

20. and a repuke saying DEMOCRATIC!

makes me suspicious!

[Maraya1969]

14. That is what we need to do. Hand that book banning shit right back to them

[Runningdawg]

18. 100% Does anyone know if any Bibles have been removed from libraries so far?

[BOSSHOG]

19. Good Clean Hard Core Christian Porn

Is Moms for Liberty Approved.

17. r/LeopardsAteMyFace

FAFO

[Hugh_Lebowski]

21. My bet is ... they cave. So enjoy this small victory while it lasts

Target will probably agree to put up some display that says something like "the new book by Mark Levin is available upon request, please see a Sales Associate" or perhaps put a wrapper on covers saying "New Bestselling Mark Levin Book" or something.

I mean honestly I don't give a shit if they want to sell his book, in the open. I'm not a snowflake who's going to have breakdown over it, not like some whiny RWNJ who comes unglued because ZOMG PRIDE!!!?!

[moniss]

23. A few years back I called in to

a radio show hosted by progressives when they were talking about Levin. When they picked up my call I began talking to them while holding my fingers tight and closing off my nose. Several of them picked up on it and we were having a good time talking back and forth and laughing.

[ZonkerHarris]

24. If I see that book in any store I'll throw a shit fit there. See y'all on Youtube...

[NBachers]

25. That's funny, Target is carrying my book "Mark Levin Eats Shit" and it's selling quite well.

[Hassler]

26. Snowflake Levin still waiting for his balls to drop

[Artcatt]

27. Whiney-a$$ man baby

[kimbutgar]

28. Every time I go to Target the book department has shrunk.

The kind of people who read Levin books aren’t shopping at Target and reading books with so many big words.

[Norbert]

30. This has little to do with the SC Court decision

and more to do with what is sellable. The title alone suggests a significant number of Target Shoppers will have no interest in buying the book. Target may be better off selling buggy whips.

[onenote]

36. Or more to the point: It has nothing to do with the SC decision.

There is no legal principle that compels a bookseller to sell a book it doesn't want to sell.

[AdamGG]

31. I had an Uber driver that was cranking Mark Levin's radio show

I'd been having an ok conversation with him while it was in commercials and then it opened with the national anthem and I figured that it would be something right wing and then there was some of the insanest ranting I've heard about how the January 6th people were Patriots and that it's the Democrats in Congress who are traitors.

My ride was over and I didn't feel like investing the energy to tell him that it was inappropriate to have paying passengers listen to that. He probably would have gotten off on thinking he'd owned a lib.

I'm in Kansas City and have had some bizarre right wing Uber drivers. One with InfoWars stickers, another one in early 2021 who was telling me that only 300 people have actually had COVID and that it's all a corporate conspiracy. To be fair, I've also had plenty of normal people who played NPR or decent music.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

34. I had an Uber driver (older woman) playing Rush Limbaugh show

Mark Levine is almost at the crazy level of that infowar guy...not stop invented conspiracy nonsense disguised as patriotism.

[hibbing]

32. Corporatist leftwing, kind of like jumbo shrimp

We all know how radically left wing huge corporations are.

Peace

[aggiesal]

33. Never heard of the book ...

Probably not selling very well so he has to create this dust up to get some publicity.

[Xolodno]

35. Corporations are left wing now?

Well, damn.

They are now chasing off their biggest donors with their crazy. Guess no one told them, corporations are their for profit and alienating a larger customer base for a smaller and shrinking one isn't good for business.

[Oneironaut]

37. Most right wingers are ok with restricting other peoples' rights. When it's them,

it’s totally different / the exception.

[Wounded Bear]

38. He should obviously write a book about it. Oh, wait...

[brooklynite]

39. No relevance to the SC ruling...

...stores have never been obliged to sell every book published.

[Demsrule86]

41. Nor have web designers ever been obliged to create websites a certain way. But the courts

created a fake case so they were able to rule in order to hurt LGBTQ. They hate them. That is the truth. Well. Colorado has told SCOTUS they may keep their anti-discrimination laws, and SCOTUS can go pound sand or if you prefer. "Make me"! This is bad for the country and distresses me but the most corrupt, out-of-step court in our history brought it on themselves

Alexander Hamilton once described the judiciary as the least dangerous branch of government, since it controlled no armies and lacked spending power. We give SCOTUS the power because we respect the institution.

42. I know... just highlighting hypocrisy

[Demsrule86]

40. Hey Levine...remember that SCOTUS did this.
