Banned Again


Tsk... tsk... tsk...

Little Davy Frum has banned me from his website.

(*SIGH*)

I hate weasels.

Listen. I could provide link after link after link highlighting the kind of guy Frum is, but the fact that he banned me from posting on NewMajority.com really tells you all you need to know.

I shot Frum an email the other day asking if he had personally banned me or if it had been one of his minions. So far no response.

(*SHRUG*)

Figures.

David Frum - 3111 Foxhall Road NW, Washington DC 20016 - is not a stand up guy.

David Frum - 202-363-3111 - is a coward and a hypocrite.

David Frum - owner of website 216.246.43.6 - has annoyed yours truly.

Oh, David.... tsk-tsk-tsk... not a good move on your part.

Why do you insist on arguing with moderates? Mind you, I'm not referring to middle-of-the-road undecided independents, I'm talking conservatives who think there is some kind of "middle ground" to be negotiated with the liberals/socialists. You and I both know there isn't. Concessions to the Left are just first steps (or second or third steps as we stand now) towards the Left's positions.

What can I tell you, Ed...???

I have principles. (*SHRUG*)

Far too many other folks... don't.

It's not a question of arguing with moderates; it's a question of free and fair debate and either "fighting fair" or... playing dirty.

Anyway, Frum's all about the money - the spotlight. He's a "D-lister" who desperately wants to move up and sees attacking his betters (folks like Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, et al) as his niche of choice towards moving up.

Hey... it's not just me:

* I especially enjoyed this quote from the above referenced link:

"Posting an oblique advertisement on his NRO blog for help with a new enterprise, Frum found his managing editor in Meghashyam Mali, a recent University of Chicago law school graduate. These days, Mali runs New­Majority.com from a converted carriage house in Frum’s backyard. It’s a humble start, but Frum is willing to press on despite the odds. I too am willing to press on, despite not having a converted carriage house in my backyard, or even a backyard -- OR even so much as a "recent University of Chicago law school graduate" to play "Raj" with. Or a famous last name and lots of money, or a hundred big shot friends, or..."

(*GRIN*)

Bill, you can't have a debate with someone who has already made up their mind. Frum is what he is. His number one principle is to find that middle ground where he will seem the most intellectually "reasonable". In fact, he comes off as the most intellectually vanilla.

Bill, if you think arguing with moderates is rough at Newmajority, try being one of only a couple of conservatives trying to set them straight at Republicansforobama.org.

Hiya Brian!

Thanks for stopping by.

It's not so much the policy differences that get me. Nope. It's the basic lack of integrity and trustworthiness you get from folks like Frum that just puts me into a funk.

It is a bit of an ego boost however to have it demonstrated that "name" pundits like Frum and Bruce Bartlett are so incapable of dealing with "little 'ol me" mano o mano using fact and wit as "weapons" that they must resort to simply gagging me as far as their sites are concerned.

Pathetic.
