Very seldom listen to Rush, but I’m glad to hear he’s not joining the jealousy.

I don’t have cable, so I only see Beck when on business trips. The few times I’ve seen him the show was full of energy and information.

Frum is Canadian.

So is Mark Steyn. All told, that means Canada has contributed a lot more to our side.

Ha! And of course almost as you know is not always. They are all almost always correct or they would not be in our views conservative.

So of this worry is that our colleagues here have not yet weaned themselves from the MSM. Mainstream mediots always report Dim/liberal internal disagreements as spiritted discussions, if they mention them, and describe any GOP/conservative disagreements as the party and the movement fracturing.

People need to learn to ignor the MSM.

For whatever reason Horowitz has never struck a chord with the general public. It’s nice to see that he apparently doesn’t resent Beck’s success at popularizing his agenda.

That's because it is truly about what is best for the country and not about whatever glorifies David Horowitz. It's not about him...it is about America. That is the attitude of a patriot.

Sorry, I should have pinged you to my prior post too. The GOP is a big tent because you must swear fealty to the various single issue of the groups in the Dim coalition. Many people are not willing to do that.

How would you like to have to accept Pelosi as a member of your party, particularly after the way that Cashill eviscerated her in the WND post down the board ?

I’ve always regarded Hannity as a lightweight, and my opinion really hasn’t changed with recent developments.

CA....

Frum:

He filed for naturalization and took the oath for citizenship on September 11, 2007.

Beck’s exposes are doing more harm to the O administration than any of the other talkshow hosts.

He has the documentation right there for people to see and understand.

He’s the new guy on the block so of course, the others are annoyed that he’s getting all the attention.

Bah! Childish and counterproductive.

Levin is wrong on this one. He fails to grasp that the sooner things fail the better. Most Conservatives have figured out that you can’t change mind numbed loser lefty robots. They have to die. Better by their own undoing and the sooner the better.

Given that Rush despises McCain it would hardly hurt Beck to have trashed McC.

“It’s nice to see that he apparently doesn’t resent Beck’s success at popularizing his agenda.”

Couldn’t agree more. David Horowitz hasn’t gotten his proper due as a hero for fighting liberalism, especially in academia.

Frum is a loser, and he always has been.

As for the rest of it, I happen to think that Beck is wrong that McCain would be worse than Obama.

But it’s not as if he is shilling for Obama. It’s not as if he thinks Obama is a good guy.

I think most of us here agree that McCain would be a really LOUSY president, and that he would be all the more damaging because he would wreck the Republican party even more than its current leaders have managed to do. Those of us who supported him and voted for him did so with few illusions, in the realization that we would have to drag him into the White House kicking and screaming and then fight him every day for the next four years. Because we knew Obama would be EVEN WORSE.

Obama is an agent from Hell. He is a Communist-Muslim-America-hater, determined to destroy our country and the entire West.

So, bad as McCain would have been, Obama is worse. So I think Beck was wrong to say that. Big deal. we can agree to disagree. And maybe he was just exaggerating to make a valid point—that McCain is really, really lousy. So, why waste time attacking Beck? How about focusing on the real problem, our country’s enemy, Obama?

I didn't see any difference beyond the designer label.

Just finished rereading Destructive Generation by Horowitz, written long before anyone heard of Obama.

Two major stars are Ayers and Dohrn. How anybody can read about what these people did and still think of them as glamorous revolutionaries is beyond my comprehension. Sick twisted people. Since they have never repudiated their actions of the time, I must assume they are still sick and twisted.

The Grate One lost a lot of listeners this week. He has a face for radio but not the voice.

Hannity is a whore for the GOP, 100% bought and apparently enjoying it. He also has a list of a half-dozen countries for America to invade in the 9/11 inspired reincarnation of White Man’s Burden. A right-wing movement devoid of this element of foreign policy - or even one giving such a policy a remote backseat to a domestic agenda - is anathema to Hannity and his ilk.

Pelosi is an excellent example. And it underlines that the Dims leadership in Congress has been captured by the far far left wing. That does not help them in election.
