Listen to Mark Levin Throw a Tantrum When Atheist Caller Corrects His Grammar

by Andrew Kirell | 10:51 am, March 18th, 2014

Another day, another ill-tempered talk radio host.

On his radio show Monday evening, Mark Levin fielded a call from an atheist who agreed with him on 95% of everything. That 5% of disagreement? Whether faith in God is a prerequisite for being a good president with limited government values.

The caller’s only point was that it “drives him crazy” when people like Levin exclude the possibility that an atheist conservative or libertarian could be just as effective a leader as a God-fearing one, so long as the foundational belief in limited government is there. And it’s not just atheist Levin listeners who feel that way: National Review scribe Charles C.W. Cooke wrote an excellent piece on how conservatism and atheism are quite compatible.

But never ye mind. Levin was not interested in having that conversation. The Founders all believed in God, he said, so nah-nee-nah-nee-poo-poo.

Always fun to hear him caught out by someone who isn't as utterly stupid as he is.

Curious about this 'conservative' atheist though. Rare creature.

Levin's stupidity on parade again, normal. But the caller didn't express much of a conservative viewpoint to consider, aside from opposing incorporation.

A stupid position for an atheist to take. There are states in which we couldn't hold office, be lawyers and such, if not for incorporation.

I can't believe anybody would listen to that, and I especially don't understand why that caller would bother calling in.
