Here's a part of his post at CNN, where he is apparently a regular contributor, which makes the point:
"Ben Smith in Politico reports that the trip was booked through a Christian tour operator. But the real news is who did not book the trip: the Republican Jewish Coalition, the group that brought George W. Bush to Israel in 1998, Mitt Romney in 2007, Haley Barbour in 2011, and many other presidential hopefuls beside.
"Very likely you have never heard of the Republican Jewish Coalition. But then again, you probably are not seeking the Republican presidential nomination. If you were seeking the nomination, the RJC is one of the groups whose support you would certainly want.
"Joining an RJC Israel tour is a well-established ritual in gaining the support of the RJC's board and the group's 40,000 activist members."
The rest of Frum's brilliance is here:

By most accounts, Palin's trip was a great success. She stated her emphatic support for Israel. She met with several important Israelis. She was invited by the Prime Minister for a private dinner. And more.
But that's not good enough for Frum. According to him, she didn't use the RJC, of which he is a Board member, to handle the event. As an American, Jew, and conservative, I consider Frum an embarrassment. With rising anti-Semitism throughout the world and support for Israel weakening in the West, including among young people in the United States, he should be praising her visit and her commitment to Israel. He should encourage more such trips and meetings by more opinion-makers and politicians, regardless of the group that handles these events. Instead, Frum focuses on nonsense. This is why Frum is neither taken seriously nor should be by a growing number of thinking conservatives.
As for Ben Smith at Politico, why does it matter if Palin's trip was booked through a Christian tour operator? Indeed, why isn't that a good thing? Do we not want Christian organizations promoting Israel? Smith is another small mind.
But Palin? Clearly, they are terrified of her.
Frum you waspish little gay.
If Palin brought world peace and cured cancer, you’d complain she was wearing the wrong color shoes when she did it.
But Palin? Clearly, they are terrified of her.

If we can survive the worthless moron in the WH right now, we can certainly do OK (and better) with an educated, experienced and patriotic woman of vision and energy as President!!
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
Methinks this is a calculated puke ploy to revamp Palin's image as a tool of the neocons----b/c voters might notice who's pulling her strings.
Just another one of the pukes patented "Good-Cop-Bad-Cop Acts."
BTW, does anyone know what Frum, Billy Kristol and the rest of the pukeneos actually do for a living? None of the pukes have any visible means of support, unless you count:
(1) media prostitution,
(2) editing stupid magazines subsidized by offshore wire transfers,
(3) infiltrating the US government,
(4) endless think-tank pontificating on how nice it is to goad the US military into invading foreign countries of the pukes choosing,
(5) cheerleading <> amnesty,<> National Greatness, <> America as Empire, <> endless war, <> John McCain,
(6) <> squatting in the Repub Party destroying it from within,
(7) <> religious cleansing of the Repub Party, and,
(8) <> kicking so/con Repubs to the curb.
Good one D.
The reality of what Sarah Palin does to liberals, maggot infected gays posing as journalists/writers, lesbians, abortion queens, and of course the kind and gentle Rinos is shown below:

Excellent summary of the DC insiders and NY elites, who pretend to be conservative Republicans.

Sarah is a Christian, not a Jew. Why shouldn’t she use a Christian group to plan her travel?
So glad you liked it.
Indeed, the media is actively promoting Romney, Huckabee, or any RINO they can foist on conservatives in the Republican party.
I’ve been a Christian who loves Israel since 1978. I majored in Political Science, and have followed politics most of my adult life. I’ve been a Republican since 1982. I was in Israel at the time Reagan was shot.
I never heard of the Republican Jewish Coalition.
I’m wondering maybe Sarah Palin hadn’t heard of them either.
The fact remains, she loves Israel and cares enough for what is happening between the current leadership of the US and Israel to go over there herself and speak her mind.
The fact remains, she was welcomed and listened to, and if God should see it that she would one day be in a position to speak for all of America, Israel would once again have America as a true friend.
Right now, we are all but siding with Israel’s enemies and receiving God’s wrath because of it. This RJC should remember that and be singing her praises.
Frum may be an American.
Frum may be Jewish.
But, Frum is in no way, shape or form, a Conservative.
