I have big disagreements with Mark Levin about all kinds of stuff, but I’ll at least give him props for being one of the few conservative pundits to take a stand against the John Birch Society.

I was invited to be the opening speaker at Saturday’s CPAC session. I had accepted but then, to my amazement, I learned that the John Birch Society would be one of many co-sponsors. This takes the big-tent idea many steps too far for me. So, I withdrew. Apparently, others were not so moved. That’s fine. But it wasn’t for me. Bill Buckley and Barry Goldwater, among others, chased the Birchers from the movement decades ago. And they’re not a part of the movement. So, to give them a booth at CPAC was boneheaded.

In his Facebook post, Levin also takes a few swings at Glenn Beck’s “incoherent” politics (which he’s done before).
