Shit! David Frum 'Republicans Have Been Lied To & Exploited By A Conservative Entertainment Complex'Last edited Sat Nov 10, 2012, 12:34 PM USA/ET - Edit history (3)
The Repugs are starting to eat each other alive!!
Also.... Kpete posted this video link to Frum on Morning Joe, that you can link through du.... says quote a bit: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021783208 ................................................................................... On Friday, author and former Bush speechwriter David Frum joined the Morning Joe panel, where he shared his blunt assessment of the current GOP. When asked who can lead the Republican party now, Frum responded that he believes the Republican party is “a party of followership:” "The problem with the Republican leaders is that they’re cowards, not that they’re fundamentally mistaken. The real locus of the problem is the Republican activist base and the Republican donor base. They went apocalyptic over the past four years, and that was exploited by a lot of people in the conservative world. I won’t soon forget the lupine smile that played over the head of one major conservative institution when he told me that our donors think the apocalypse has arrived, that Republicans have been fleeced and exploited and lied to by a conservative entertainment complex." http://www.mediaite.com/tv/david-frum-republicans-have-been-lied-to-and-exploited-by-a-conservative-entertainment-complex/

You are in a minority here, I suspect.
One of the great changes of "free-marketing" the Internet was the creation of forces which encourage bubble-thinking. Prior to 2007, I was never banned from any site, and now it happens regularly. Or did, I've largely stopped posting now. Now that people "own" websites, they find all kinds of reasons to ban everything they don't like. |

I saw a post on du yesterday that basically took your standard, divisive, hateful rw rant that you all the time from the right wing.. You know the ones that you get from your crazy coworkers? I saw that on du and there were lots of recommendations? I made a couple comments that people, I'm certain will be interpreted as a lack of humor on my part? Problem is, that shit ain't funny? You can't have good humor of you are totally disconnected and in a bubble?
