From what I understand, Conor was the editor or something like that of Culture11.com. I never heard of Culture11 until it went under. So you can see how influential he was there. Well done, Jimmie.

Levin's goal is to stop Obama's reorganization of the USA. Freidersdorf's goal is to carve out a niche in the newly-reorganized USA. At the root of it is a disagreement in goals.

I don't get to listen to Levin a lot - wrong time slot on the radio - and sometimes I find him obnoxious...especially his "Get outta here, you big dummy" line he uses with some callers. On the other hand, he's usually right. He gets callers who are bound and determined to twist what he says and who won't respond openly - because they know to do so will allow him to destroy their argument - so they persist in their one line. They're time wasters, so he dumps them. If I were to criticize him at all, it would be that sometimes he picks up on them too fast - faster than the audience - and it would benefit him to give them a few minutes more so that we all could see that he's completely justified. If Conor doesn't see what Levin sees, then Conor hasn't read the sources Levin has read. Conor may have been - like I have been - a good American citizen of the Republic. He may have read all the appropriate American history books. Levin - I think - is a convert from early days as a communist. His "history" reading has been "Das Kapital", Alinsky, - I don't know them all. I'm learning more all the time about these sources, but I'm no expert. I'm also Catholic, and until the Iraq war, didn't really know much about islam. I'm learning about that as well, and finding out that just because someone _says_ they belong to the "Religion of Peace" doesn't mean they want the same kind of "Peace" I think of when _I_ say "Peace". Conor has much to learn - whoever he is. Thanks for saving me some time - too much to read out there already! I don't know Conor, but if he thinks Mark is wrong, he has a lot to learn.
