Get out of my tent! Fruming over the Tea Party movement

Frum frames the Tea Party activists as radical and angry people, which makes me believe that he most likely has never attended these events and never met the people who come to show their support for America. There is also a major disconnect in Frum’s reality of the liberal media and this movement. Contrary to Frum’s belief, the Tea Party has never been portrayed by the media as an unstoppable force. Actually, if anything, these gatherings that take place all over the country have been downplayed in every possible way.

David Frum - Pillow Biter

[Clint N. Suhks]

Frum has never been to a Tea Party event in his life I suspect. I’m sure he gets his info from the DUmp, Daily Kooks or PMSNBC.

David Frum= Canadian liberal who thinks US conservatives care about his nonsense.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Yet he gets to go on the Sunday talk shows and represent Conservatives.

He, David Brooks, Peggy Nooner can go jump in a lake.

This article sums up why I will not send one dime to the national or state GOP. Unfortunately, the move to the kinder, more gentle GOP has left me in a position to have to determine where on the spectrum each candidate falls. The GOP label is no (and has not been for awhile) a reliable indicator for support. How many times have loser RINOs

taken conservative money,

lost in a primary,

and then publically endorse the RAT candidate?

Once is too many times.

On the other hand the RAT label is a guarantee that I will oppose the candidate wearing it.

Last time in 08 when super-rino Gilchrest lost and endorsed the RAT who won.

Well, yes, I am angry. But radical? I wouldn’t have ever thought to label myself as such.

But if it’s radical to want to return to the basic principles on which this nation was founded, if it’s radical to want a smaller, more limited government that isn’t interested in dictating every aspect of my life, then go ahead and call me radical!

Even worse. Newsweek.

[Funee Kat]

You’re a radical!

“he most likely has never attended these events and never met the people who come to show their support for America”

Of course he hasn’t. That would require him to get out of his office and/or stop pontificating on MSM talking heads shows. I would be astonished if David Frum even did his own grocery shopping: after all, why would an elitist like him risk having an encounter with the “little people?”

[Zionist Conspirator]

Dang. I thought the headline referred to the Tea Party people becoming frum.

Imagine my disappointment!

[DGHoodini]

Hey Frum.......?

We don’t need your money.
We don’t need your “connections”.
We don’t need your opinions.
And we don’t need you.

If you died tonight, we’ll have forgotten you ever existed by the Monday morning pressers.

That's cause he went to Haaaaaaaaaavard.

He's one of those annoying people who thinks everyone who didnt should shut up and let the elites like him do the talking.
