It's almost like REALITY for people like Shrum doesn't even exist. Whatever they "FEEL" about a person is in essence the reality. Forget actual facts, they do not jive with antagonist feelings, therefore I can justify this outright deception and this unfair degrading I'm spewing about Beck. I don't even watch Beck, and I know this is pure B.S.

I believe this game for liberals has come to an end in this political cycle. Enough people do care about truth and facts and know at the end of the day reality is what really matters.

Personal feelings and facts are far cry from reality in Shrums case.

“Beck is working for himself “

Frum is working for the DNC.

Glenn Beck is not the first to make a pleasant living for himself by reckless defamation.

Reckless defamation = Truth....So far Beck has exposed ACORN and several of Obama's czars, plus the web of dubious organizations that are an integral part of the white house. Where is the recklessness in that????

Is Frum lying or is Beck lying? I don’t know the facts.

Do video tapes, resignations, cutoff of funding by Democrats lie? What more evidence do you need?

Beck is working for himself – and he chooses his targets according to his own scheme of priorities....

This is a false argument. There is absolutely nothing sinister about it.

Every single person who believes in individualism is working for him or her self.

The best way to do this is to choose your targets carefully according to your own priorities thus ensuring that you will benefit the most number of *other* people you wish to serve which will then make you, yourself, successful.

Failing to understand this fundamentally conservative world view makes me wonder just what your world view actually is....

Beck may have let half truths fly, Sunstein is not the wacko he claims - imo. But Frum is behing dishonest by trying to blame Beck for Sunsteins unpopularity. He was confirmed, so Frum got what he wanted, but still whines like a jealous competitor.

DNC ENDORSES Obama’s Socialist Agenda, to undermine the Constitution, American business, and America’s ability to defend itself.

Is that because Frum himself was making a very nice living peddling reckless defamation of Sarah Palin long before Glenn Beck even appeared on the national scene ?
If Frum annoyed because his Sarah Palin defamation peddling business is going down the toilet?

As I understand it...

Glenn has 7 TV staff, Fox loans him 20 (plus?) and then whatever they are researching, Glenn then has vetted via two Colleges that he hires to do so.

If so where does Frum come off going against those headwinds?

Yes I read his piece.

Dollars to Donuts, Glenn will bring it up, maybe even invite Frum on to debate it.

My guess Frum is to much of a "Girleeman" to do so, perhaps if we perfect cloning he can get a spine from Sarah Palin.....

I agree. Who is Frum??

He is a former speech writer for George Bush who couldn't think of a single thing to say against 0bama and the Dems trashing his boss.

And he STILL can't think of a thing to say about them STILL trashing his former boss.

But he can trash Glen Beck?

Yeah, let’s listen to latte-sipping RINOs like Frum. They’ve just been great for conservatism!

Hey Frum, was that you putting your hand on David Brooks’ leg at dinner????

The other side did as bad, or nearly.

If Frum doesn't think that Rachel Maddow and Keith Oberman are FAR BEYOND anything he thinks about Beck's "stretching of the truth", Frum is stupid.
