An Interesting Question: The “Character of History”

The Enemy of American Exceptionalism posted this remarkable video [below] as an apology to Eric Wittenberg over the recent debate (which predictably became personal!) they had concerning John Latschar. Eric accepted Kevin’s apology, sorta.

Anyway, what is remarkable to me is Levin’s meandering video that I include below. Does the word narcissist come to mind? My God, this guy thinks the world revolves around him so much that we care to listen to a 9-minute bumbling so-called apology by him. I did and had a good laugh. But then again, what happen to his radio show? Let’s see, he interviewed his brother and then his wife, nice. I really want to spend 30 minutes listening to Levin interview his family. What’s next, Ma and Pa? No, maybe the family pets? If this strikes as a bit too personal and passionate post, well I’m just returning the favor to Levin. [Click Here to understand]. So go grab some popcorn and pay attention, professor Levin is in the house:

Now, most of this post is tongue and cheek. I actually think the video apology was a good idea as there are some things that get lost in translation on the Internet. And Blog Talk Radio is a pretty cool website that I use a lot and listen to some amateur shows that are very good. I wish Kevin could have got his show going, but as a fellow teacher I understand how time becomes an issue. Kevin and I have exchanged some unfortunate personal posts. In the spirit of Kevin’s apology which I thought was very passionate, I want to apologize for my part in all of out disputes last month. I am too a passionate blogger and I regret what I wrote and implied in my posting.

PS – I do admit that the above post, though not serious, was fun to write… Maybe I should have posted a video of me crying?

    Is this for real? Thanks for sharing a good laugh.

    I consider Eric an historian and a man with common sense. This goofball… well those who can DO, those who can’t teach.

  2. Chris,

    It was sorta an apology, so I sorta accepted it.

    The whole thing was ugly and I felt it better to just move on from it. I know what information I had, and I know the implications of it.

    Eric, I got that and you’re a bigger person than I. I hope you’re doing well and that we don’t lose you out here. I know you have been contemplative about continuing with your blog.

    Tara thanks for posting!

    Chris

  4. Thanks, Chris. I appreciate that.

    I will be back, probably around Turkey Day. I just needed a break and some down time, and I’m slowly but surely getting my mojo back. I really appreciate your concern.

    Eric

    You know I have followed Kevin L. for some time and this video above is bullshit. He says he would never pile on or intentionally try to embarrass someone!? Hello, do you read his blog? He makes fun of people all the time, those who see things different than he! He intentionally tries to belittle and embarrass. This is such a hypocritical video. Embarrassing! Notice he is not even acknowledging this site and Chris’ brilliant calling out of Kevin L. who is such an intellectual moron.

  6. Chris says:

    Eric, you’re welcome and I hope to read you soon. Mike, uh, er, umm, you might have nailed it!!
    Peace out.

    I’m jealous. I never got an apology video all those years I was a target.
