Freedom Works is a non-profit group based in Washington D.C. attempting to advance conservative and libertarian principles, or so they say. According to FreedomWorks, they train volunteers, assists in campaigns, and encourages them to mobilize, interacting with both fellow citizens and their political representatives. This is a non-profit group which relies on donations from conservatives.
Mark Levin is a prominent lawyer who has dedicated his entire life to the conservative movement. This is a person who has fought for our country in the legal arena for almost four decades. He was in the Reagan administration, he is the President of The Landmark Legal Foundation. He is one of the reasons we know about the IRS scandal. Landmark is a watchdog going after the NEA the EPA and other big government organizations. Last January, A federal appeals court ruled that President Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on the National Labor Relations Board. Landmark argued in its brief that the President’s use of the Constitution’s “recess appointments” clause violated the restrictions placed by the Constitution on that power. The Court adopted Landmark Legal Foundation’s argument in full. Most conservatives love the country but Levin walks the walk.
On Freedom works website it says “Kristina Ribali is the Director of New Media at FreedomWorks. She officially joined the FreedomWorks team early in 2011. She now manages FreedomWorks’ online social media presence, and is a writer, editor and manager of our growing blogger network and the host of our twice weekly podcast.”
He’s an angry elf… RT @LeonHWolf: In other words, I think it is important to be as little like Mark Levin as possible.

Apparently “angry elf” is a humorous phrase from a Will Ferrell movie called “Elf.” This must be one of those low information voter jokes. Why would a conservative watch Will Ferrell movies or put money in his pocket? Ugh, hello, he hates us.
It appears Freedom Works’ new media director is not a fan https://t.co/0VKQ8PYgYD http://t.co/8BsL4gSRPJ

Mark Levin tweeted about this Monday night. If I was him, it would probably hurt my feelings that so many who he paved the way for treat him with such utter disrespect. After Levin’s post on FB and twitter, many of his listeners voiced their own opinion on the matter to Ribali in a civilized way.
@marklevinshow Proudly an Angry Elf and a Wacko Bird! MT: @KristinaRibali He’s an angry elf…

@KristinaRibali Who ARE you? I would be 100% honored to be like Mark Levin! He IS the great one–a Great American. Again, who are you?
— MaryAnn Herbert (@msmoxeyUSA) June 18, 2013
@KristinaRibali is one of those keyboard patriots. Doesn’t know when not to attack fellow conservatives. You do more harm than good.
— Shawn W (@shawndw1975) June 18, 2013
This guy nailed it ^ Kristina’s profile claims she is the front line of freedom. No, Mark Levin has actually been in the field for decades. As for Kristina, keyboard patriot fits the bill.
personally I don’t know what my take is on @marklevinshow. Half the time I think he’s Too Angry, half the time I’m right there with him.

That said, we used to be permitted to express our likes and dislikes without sparking a Crusade.

Where was this “crusade?”
Did you know that @marklevinshow's beard hides meth scabs?! Why do you think he flies off the handle so much?
— S. R. Mann (@sevenlayercake) June 18, 2013
I think I"m going to donate $20 bucks/month to FreedomWorks…until Levin admits that he has a vagina.

@LeonHWolf I would follow him into the gates of hell and back, and so would his millions. Your mischaracterization is hollow.

If you’re trying to show how we’re different from the left by calling for head of a conserv over a movie reference, you’re doing it wrong.

Some like to stir the pot as a form of ass-kissing, too.

Now here is where it gets good. Instead of Ribali just saying “sorry, I was just joking.” which would have ended it simply. She adds insult to injury, lies, and calls Mark Levin’s ten million fans “THE FREAK HIVE”
Tell those calling me a bitch, stupid, idiot, etc. RT @adamsbaldwin: @KristinaRibali “angry elf” ≠ “disagreeing”.
— Kristina Ribali (@KristinaRibali) June 18, 2013
Baldwin is right. Most people have never even heard of Ribali and Levin has done more for our movement that most people ever will. The respectful way to disagree or debate someone on your own team is to quote them and explain why you disagree or bring up a political policy in which you don’t see eye to eye. You don’t insult the actual person especially if that person helps your cause. This was one of the reasons people were angry with the vague insult S.E. Cupp made about Rush. With Cupp it was worse since it was in a liberal rag of course. Anybody who listens to more than one of Mark Levin’s radio shows can see that he is a happy, funny, sometimes silly person,and a really nice guy.(Disagree?, click here) If you are a conservative, how can you not be angry with the left? How can you not be angry with the moderate Republican establishment? Aren’t we all? If you search Ribali’s mentions, one person called her an idiot. Nobody called her a bitch. She should retweet these horrid tweets if they actually happened.
I made a joke about someone being angry and not a happy warrior. You respond with hate and evil. Point made.
— Kristina Ribali (@KristinaRibali) June 18, 2013
Where is this anger and hate??? I didn’t see it
Nope. RT @amyvrwc: So, am I allowed to say what I think about talk radio hosts, or will that rattle the freak hive? Asking for a friend.
— Kristina Ribali (@KristinaRibali) June 18, 2013
Now, the ten million conservatives who listen to Levin are “The Freak Hive”
If these were two equally matched people, one might blow this off as a first amendment issue.
I stand with @KristinaRibali #1stAmendmentTweet

If I worked for a Tea Party group, @KristinaRibali, I wouldn’t go around offending millions of Tea Partiers, even though it’s my right.
— Ben Kusnetz (@AgitpropNJ) June 18, 2013
Of course, Ribali has the right to say whatever she wants but Levin’s ten million listeners in The Freak Hive also have the right to NEVER donate to FreedomWorks. My family and I have donated to them in the past. Unless they apologize, I won’t donate to them again. I will also spread the word at all the Tea Party and conservative meetings I attend. Mark Levin’s contributions to this country are tremendous and his listeners don’t deserve to be treated badly either. Ribali acted like David Frum yesterday. The left doesn’t donate to FreedomWorks. The moderates don’t donate to FreedomWorks. Levin’s audience is FreedomWorks target market. When FreedomWorks implies that Mark Levin’s audience of ten million are a “Freak Hive,” that is an extremely bad business move.
This post is fucking ridiculous
Kristina Ribali is unprofessional. The angry elf tweet was unintelligent. Then she tweeted a dozen tweets today acting like she had been victimized. Most of the tweets were either supporters of Mark Levin or haters of Mark Levin. There weren’t many negative tweets towards Kristina Ribali. It was a bad move by FreedomWorks. TeaPartyPatriots is better. Keep up the good work Queen Of Liberty!
Thanks for your comment Stephany. I agree. The person hired to make FW look good on social media failed. Keep in touch.
Stephany, I’m going to tread lightly here and just say that I think you’re the biggest idiot agreeing with the most idiotic blogpost on the internet.
Sincerely,
@mesobland
The remarks from the Ribali fans are evil.
Yes, Levin listeners are much classier.
I will not give another dime to FreedomWorks!
Ditto!
FreedomWorks is in cahoots with Glenn Beck. This is the reason they are going after Mark Levin.
Thanks for your opinion. Stop by more often.
Its weird to think of Mark as an elf since he is over six feet tall and has football player type broad shoulders. Haha. Welp, Mark is a sincere patriot who knows his constitution. The tweets against him were wrong and the crusade towards Kristina is pure fabrication.
LOL, Pat, I thought the elf part was odd also. God bless you.
Typical of a silver spoon-fed “conservative” to attempt to make a name for themselves by attacking other conservatives of stature. Of course it is her right to say whatever she wants. So does that mean decency goes out of the window? I never really cared for her anyway – UNFOLLOW! (it was a courtesy follow-back anyway)
Richard, you are one of my favorite new Internet friends! Thanks for your comment. God bless.
Lol. The feeling is very mutual Queen!
Thanks for the article. I totally missed this “angry elf…freak hive” thing. She, basically, peed in her Cheerios. You would think in her position she’d be a little smarter than that.
As a proud member of the “freak hive”, I will direct Ms. Rabili to ‘The Great One’s’ interview with Paul Ryan last night. That’s how to disagree with a friend.
As one tweeter said, I’d go to hell and back with Mark Levin. He is the Conservative movement and should be listened to!
Sorry, Ms. Ribali….I misspelled her name…
Oh, and hello Diane(@SurferDi), glad to see you made it in the article…. 🙂
I’m so late responding to comments, sorry. That Ryan interview was excellent. I’m fed up with Ryan and Rubio…done with FreedomWorks too. Sick of the Zimmerman trial. Hating summer humidity. There are my complaints for today. See ya around the freak hive! 🙂
I unfollowed Kristina, Matt Kibbe and all the others affiliated with Freedomworks on twitter and facebook. I want nothing to do with them! My husband and I use to send donations to them but I am with the rest of you. I stand with Mark Levin and I too will not give my money to an organization calling us names and belittling us. FreedomWorks needs to issue an apology today! The longer they wait the more tarnished their reputation becomes!
Great comment! I concur completely! Please stop by more often and talk about politics with us!
Who knew some broad named Kristina Ribali nobody ever heard of before yesterday had so many vulgar angry fans. More people idolize her than Barack Obama. The only angry elves in the situation are on Kristina’s side
Heck Yeah! 🙂
I love you Alexis!
I love you guys too!
Going to complain to freedomworks this chick needs to apologize. And stop being over melodramatic. LOVE YOU MARK LEVIN gonna buy your fathers book!
Jack Levin’s book is great! You will love it! Check out the review I wrote about it. I can’t wait for Mark Levin’s new book too. I new he would come up with some ideas and solutions to help get our country out of this mess it is in.
I am very excited at the pathway back to Liberty that Mark has outlined. I love my country, and treasure freedom above all else. Who knew there was a way to get it back? Rolling up my sleeves…
I am rolling up my sleeves and am right there with you Foxy Wizard. (Cute name)
Article V baby!
Anybody who dislikes Mark Levin must be a jerk and how can everyone not appreciate his lifetime of work for conservatism?
Ribali will never achieve the things Mark Levin has achieved for conservatives. Freedomworks isn’t much compared to Landmark Legal Foundation either. I’ll never donate to FreedomWorks. Those tweets were disrespectful and unprofessional.
Kristina Ribali is a large Amazon woman with Incredible Hulk shoulders every NFL linebacker would envy and she smiles strangely with her creepy looking veneers.
Ribaldi and others such as her are proof that the moderates totally need to go. That goes for Ryan as well whom I will not forgive until he apologizes to the veterans he stabbed in the back. In all the time I have listened to Mark he’s never said half the things that these haters have said.
He is passionate and he does get mad, that passion’s born of a desire to protect a country that he loves and spent years serving and fighting for. First when he fought establishment candidates and won an election for school board, then later on when he served Regan twice. I doubt Rubaldi and those ‘standing with her’ would ever have the courage to fight the courts as Mark’s Landmark Legal Foundation has done not to mention won against entitites such as the IRS and the EPA.
And then there is Mark’s continued support for conservatives, his deep love for the country is shown every second of every day. You can hear it in his voice the sadness at seeing the destruction wrought by someone who cares little for anyone but himself and his ideology (Obama), and to see a battle being fought again (he was there when Regan fought the establishment remember) very likely breaks his heart yet he still fights because Mark is a man of courage and more honor than someone who watches movies with Will Ferrall or whatever that actor from elf is named. (I stopped watching anything with him in it after learning how much of a liberal rat he is).
Alexis thank you for these articles and for helping to shine (as Rush would say) the ‘light of truth’ on these people
