Frum's approach is to try to throw as much dirt as he can and hope it sticks. He's exploiting the highly emotion state of public opinion now to deliver what he takes to be the final blow to those who disagree with him. And of course those he works with back him up. They would. Other people won't.

There's an interesting critique of Frum's article at Rockwell's site. It starts with the basic fact that those Frum lumps together as paleocons represent very different points of view from libertarians and anarchocapitalists to nationalists, traditionalists and religious conservatives. Right-wing critics of President Bush's policies certainly don't all agree on immigration, race or foreign trade, though it's in Frum's interest to pretend that a few well placed shots will take out the whole pack. The author goes on to show how Frum reshapes actual circumstances to fit his argument.

Thanks for the link; solid refutation of the boy-wonder. Frum is a David Brock of the new century only he's Canadian rather than 'confused.'
