I find Michael Savage the most vile, but I would say Limbaugh is actually the worst. As someone who has actually listened to his show, the quality of his show is actually incredibly low, I don't know how he has so many listeners when he goes on these ramblings of alternate realities that make absolutely no sense. . Sean Hannity is the most annoying, though not the worst. Beck and Levin are tolerable to me but still nutjob insane on many things.

Inspired by my parents who listen to Levin on a nightly basis.

The only two I can properly judge are Savage (used to be on one of the AM stations at night on my way to work, replaced with .....Dean something...or maybe something Dean) and Rush.  Both are horrible, obviously, but at least Savage was entertaining in his schtick.  Rush is a bore, always was.

Hannity.

I listen to Levin sometimes on Youtube just for his hyperbole and overreaction.

Anyone want to take bets on how long talk radio survives as a medium?

I have it gone by the 2040s, my own self.

Levin, though Savage is a close second. Hannity is very, very annoying, but Rush and Beck are listenable (though annoying as well).

I thought you would like Levin (or at least dislike him less than the others)-he's more libertarian and less concerned with social issues compared to everybody except Beck.

Toss-up between the insane (Michael Savage) and the pompous, morally degenerate, disgusting hypocrite (Rush Limbaugh).

No, Levin is a huge hawk, more so than the others (besides Savage).

Savage is funny if you realize what he's doing, not that its worth listening to even then. Talk radio is so grating; even if I happened to agree with a host I wouldn't find it tolerable.

Limbaugh is the worst in my opinion, but most of the talk-show hosts can be rude and excessively combative.

It seems that the low quality of talk radio in general seems to have a great deal to do with the shows running for several hours. We see the same thing with morning news programs on every television network.

Levin is a neocon and hates Ron Paul supporters.

Levin, with Limbaugh and Savage not far behind. 

Levin supports term limits on the Supreme Court (despite the fact that it was the only institution that the Constitution SPECIFICALLY states serves for life.)  Plus, he also supports a bunch of other constitutional amendments based on his distorted concept of "liberty."  He's basically anarchist lite.

Rush and Savage may be awful, but at least they don't support insane proposals like that.

Levin is a neocon and hates Ron Paul supporters.
How in the world is he a neocon?  He constantly attacks neocons and "moderate" Republicans on his show.

Sean Hannity is the only one that would fail the Turing Test.

I used to have a dog (RIP). A big Yellow Labrador, so you can imagine the size of his turds. Now, each turd may have been uniquely sized and shaped, but at the end of the day, they're all still dog turds.

Oh...what were we talking about, again?

Levin and Savage tie, but Levins voice puts him overboard. Beck is obviously the favorite, though Neil Boortz was okay when he was on (minus the race stuff).

If you listen to his show, you'll realize that there is nothing remotely libertarian or "anarchist" about him. His is 100% arch-right conservative dressed up to 'save the constitutional republic against tyranny'.

Hannity. Produces nothing but conservative talking points.

Savage, though a deranged nationalist, is actually one of the better political radio hosts. He has no double standards when it comes to calling out the right, and actually makes well reasoned arguments.

Hannity is crazy. He's very repetitive and lies somewhat. The other would be Levin; whose voice is very loud and insufferable.

I like Levin. I think Rush is overrated, and never listened to Savage, Ingraham or Beck on the radio. I can't stand Hannity though, and I can't figure out why out of all of them, he is the only one with a TV show.

Levin, though all of them are of course awful. Beck is the only one who still seems to have a grasp on reality, and it isn't much of one.

Really?  That's the only good part.  I always imagine him as Timon without the Hakuna Matata.
