THE RADIO GASBAGS AREN'T UNANIMOUSLY REVERED IN WINGNUT WORLD

(h/t driftglass)

Andrew Sullivan links to an interview with Jonah "Doughy Pantload" Goldberg and reports that Jonah isn't too upset with flamethrowing freakshows like Mark Levin:

The idea that Mark Levin is doing some profound damage to the country or the conservative movement rests on the idea that there are all these liberals tuning in who would otherwise be persuaded by Bill Buckley, but instead are being turned off by Mark. I don’t buy the logic of it.

Sullivan isn't buying this lame reply:

What bothers me is that talk radio hosts hurt conservatism the political philosophy. They do so by willfully misinforming its natural constituency. Every single day, the people I've mentioned broadcast shows that are rife with factual inaccuracies and poorly reasoned if emotionally resonant arguments.
