Anyone remember the “General BETRAY-US” ad on in the NYTimes?

The perfect example of the keen moderation of the Left.

Not to argue for Frum, but remember that his key point was that this should be someone “central to the left, as Rush is the right”, and I presume he would say that MoveOn.putz is just a bunch of Soros-funded losers in Mom’s basement and not “central” to anything but the most recent EarthFirst attack on the animal research lab at Wash U.

Frum really is a waste of time and space.

He is a non-entity, garnering what little notoriety he has by attacking other Republicans and getting played up in places like HotAir. Go to his own ill-advised blog — which is the intended beneficiary of his delirious ranting — and you’ll find his two stupid Quit Whining posts with 18 and 17 comments, respectively.

Yawn.

If this is supposed to be The New Conservative Movement, or even an “Outrageous Outrage!”, then he’s a total bozo. Mostly, he’s just unpersuasive.

Wendy Sullivan scored a major coup this week: she got “columnist to the world” Mark Steyn (as Hugh Hewitt calls him) to host the first anniversary episode of her podcast Brass Balls Radio. For an hour, Steyn spun esoteric records……

Frum has made a pretty pathetic spectacle of himself. I don’t pay attention to him anymore.

It is one thing to not agree 100% with someone. It is quite another to construct your career by being a Republican attack dog against other Republicans. Frum is one of those of those Republicans who only gets noticed by the mainstream by ripping apart people in his own party. It is self-serving and false.

Right now the real danger to this country is a President in the process of ruining our economy and our industry, and Frum virtually ignores this to endear himself with the mainstream media by attacking conservative talkshow hosts.

Are you really that intellectually dishonest?

i didn’t mean to make you cry. just pointed out that the “rebuttal” makes no sense.

Dr. Evil

I’ve seen the video in question. It wasn’t just Gore who warned about the threat posed by Saddam. It was all of them, including Kennedy.

I’m talking about the claims over the last 6 years that Bush lied about intelligence, manufactured it and turned a blind eye to anything that pointed the other way.

And my recollection is that each and every prominent Democrat, with the exception of Lieberman, has made these serious allegations against Bush.

Frum has either been asleep, is a liar or has lost his mind.

You’re funny!

So David Frum is either a tech-newbie, or he’s immune to evidence that contradicts his hyperbole.

Another possibility is that frum is a scumbag liberal. Not that being a scumbag automatically makes someone a liberal or vice versa. Being a liberal automatically identifies someone as emotionally dysfunctional and being a scumbag identifies someone as not worthy of respect.

Why do some people think to be a real Republican or Real Conservative that you have to agree 100% on everything. Like Dennis Prager says the only way you will find a candidate you agree with 100% is to run yourself.

Keep supporting people like Mitt and you had better get used to the libs and dems running things for a while.

Just because Steele, Powell, and Frum don’t agree with Rush and Sean, doesn’t mean we all have to be kool aid drinkers.

are you guys really that dim?

Are you really that intellectually dishonest?

I already posted this it is Al Gore criticizing President George H W Bush #41 for ignoring Saddam Hussien’s terror ties. “1992″ Al Gore has been criticizing the two Bush Presidents for decades either for NOT addressing Saddam’s terror ties or for addressing Saddam’s terror ties. For some reason the Mainstream Media has this real short memory even when there is video to “Show” him doing what Frum claims he doesn’t. The MSM lets Al Gore get away with this, and then people like Frum for some reason- I am guessing NO critical thinking on his part, believes the perception the MSM sells.

Surely someone here has the time to post the links to each and every prominent Democrat accusing Bush of lying about intelligence on Iraq or manipulating it.

The perfect example of the keen moderation of the Left.
