Top Conservatives Livid Over Budget Deal: 'A Historic Scam!
[There's a 6.5-minute video here of Neil Cavuto from Fox interviewing radical right-wing radio host Mark Levin.]
It's No Deal, It's a Sellout
"John Boehner has just given away the Republican victory of 2010 at the bargaining table. Like the proverbial Uncle Sam who always wins the war but loses the peace, he has unilaterally disarmed the Republican Party by showing that he will not shut down the government and will, instead, willingly give way on even the most modest of cuts in order to avoid it.

[Actually, unlike RedState, DickMorris and FoxNation, I think thehill.com is pretty widely respected as being more or less centrist. Its site lists as current contributors, for example, both Dick Morris and Markos Moulitsas (of Daily Kos, sometimes referred to in conservative circles as "the Great Orange Satan".]
