This article pretty much encapsulates all the essentials regarding Frum.

The Canadian Conservative wing of FR won't like this.

[Cable225]

The lone wolves Frum presumes to exile – serious, flinty, sometimes wrongheaded and mostly crotchety, unclubbable thinkers such as Peter Brimelow, Lew Rockwell, Paul Gottfried, Sam Francis, Pat Buchanan, and Justin Raimondo – have each added far more to the stock of interesting arguments on the Right than Frum ever will.

I don't know that interesting is the word I'd use to describe the argument presented by that group.

Incoherent
Insipid
Incomplete

Those are better words.

[Akron Al]

Idiots like Frum and Goldberg make it very difficult for me to support the war.

[dwswager]

Actually, Frum has been both a social and economic conservative all his adult life. He lit up Novak and Buchanon not for being anti-war, but for using arguments against the war that are patently anti-semetic. I have to say, I have to agree with Frum. I read Buchanon and Novak regularly and in the last 18 months or so they have to some extent become unhinged.

Thanks for he bump. I see you are a Nam Vet. Did not get sent to Nam but was drafted in '68. Dumb luck saved me I guess.

Regards.

[The Irishman]

Don't agree but thanks for the reply.

Regards.

More bilge from Anti-American Lew. I thought FR was for folks who love America, not hate it like this toad.

To paraphrase Larry Holmes, "Lew couldn't carry Frum's jockstrap."

Do you think there is any chance that they will take him back?

Read Frum's diary today.

I did. I am afraid Frum dodged the charges, even the most specific one about shutting down the Yale conservative student newspaper.

[JohnGalt]

We love America; its Canadian conservatives we could do without.

[Nonstatist]

Whats your beef? Frum's not Buchanan, is that the problem? Too Jew for you?

[JohnGalt]

Krauthamer and Frum for Steyn and Margolis?

I think Steyn's English, but he'll do.

[ggekko]

As a somewhat impartial third-party observer who sympathizes with both the neo-con and paleo-con camps I would like to tender a couple of observations.

Firstly, the Frum piece was written in response to a J'Accuse style article written by Pat Buchanan who implied that neo-conservatives around President Bush were showing more loyalty to Israel than America. This is a highly inflammatory accusation.

Secondly, Frum and Goldberg were very trenchant and effective commentators against the corruption of the Clinton administration. I don't recall people on Free Republic wanting to drum them out of the conservative movement at that time.

Yeah. Ole Justine. He sure is interesting with his encouragement of mutiny among the American military.

I respect you Irishman, but there are many many of these clowns who hate America, and certain Americans.

I just can't get past their obsession with race.
