Mark Levin complained about this report, saying the reporter came with the template in his head, refused to read any of the books in question but just lumped them altogether. Levin pointed out that he signed the contract for this book in April 2007 and it was not about Obama at all, save for some add-ons in final editing, since Obama is such a perfect example of a statist. Mark Levin thinks that more than conservative angst over Obama, the sales of his book (800,000 and still going strong) have inspired imitators. Bit of both, I should imagine.

h/t: Glenn Reynolds:: Anti-Obamacare Protesters Take the Streets, Democrats Panic July 18th, 2009 \| By: Michael van der Galien poligazette.com Donald Douglas reports at American Power: Today was another big day for the national tea party movement. Turnout was robust around the country, although some protesters were met with harrassment and profanity. Michelle Malkin and Glenn Reynolds have reports. Plus, at Pajamas Media TV, Amy Kremer of TeaPartyPatriots.org (see, “Nationwide Protests Target ObamaCare: The People Say No to Gov’t Run Healthcare”). Also via Instapundit, “Bureaucrash at the Healthcare Freedom Tea Party Protest” (YouTube). For the Democratic pushback, see Gateway Pundit, “McCaskill’s Office Locks Doors, Pulls Blinds, Calls Cops & Forces Obamacare Protesters Off Public Property.” And The Rhetorican, “The Great Tea Offensive.” I attended a protest rally at Democratic Representative Loretta Sanchez’s office in Garden Grove. That’s me with the House GOP’s “Organizational Chart of the House Democrats’ Health Plan.” Megan Barth is with me in the second photo. She organized the event and created the awesome protest signs. Go to Donald’s place for more links, pics, etc. The tea party-movement is really catching on. And it has succeeded in changing the dynamics in America already. Obama’s approval ratings are dropping fast, for instance. Only 52% of voters say they approve somewhat. This was much higher only a few months ago. The reason? Well, Obama has proved to be a true liberal. A hardcore leftist, this even though he campaigned as a moderate. Furthermore, and the tea party movement deserves a lot of respect for that, fiscal conservatives have wasted little time pointing out the rather obvious to their fellow countrymen. If it was up to the media, Obama would have gotten away with every single far-left plan he can think of. The tea party protesters - and others of course - did what the media should have done, namely to educate (other) voters about the downsides of every single one of Obama’s plans. Respect.
