Frum is the son of the late Barbara Frum, a very respected anchor on the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), who died in the early 90's to leukemia.
Man, she mush be rolling in her grave.

I always thought David Frum was a little maggot.

verysad that was a great video you linked to.
Anyone see his punk ass on The Daily Show night before last? I just turned it off right away. I mean, cmon Jon stewart! People like Bill Kristol, David Frum, and Ari Fleischer? Don't give these bastards a platform...
I understand how you must have felt about it when u saw him as guest at Jon Stewarts show BUT everything is not that easy.

You see imo Jon Stewart actualy did an awesome job! In 30 seconds he totaly destroyed this guys image and credibility. So sometimes talking to these scum and exposing them and their tactics is worth far more then simply not talking to them.

PS: Jon Stewart is anyway the master in ripping images and falsehoods apart. Have you seen his interview in which he destroyed Tucker?

Stuff like that makes it seem like it's all joke & not really people being killed by the millions.

Tucker Carlson? Hmmm. I like Carlson. Anyway, I think there's a thread about Stewart somewhere around here....

Well, can't find it but all I have to say is that Jon is generally a fantastic interviewer. However, I disagree with his liberal leanings. But I see your point if they're being exposed in these interviews. Of course, Like dave pointed out, it is a comedy show and that takes away from the seriousness of the situation...

Well since you asked, here is the video with Tucker.

*agree

I do think though that he is hiding alot of the truth in his jokes. Just look at this (I saw this clip like more then 20 times and it is still brilliant.):

Oh, that. I thought you were talking about something more recent. Jon didn't just own Tucker, but Crossfire as a whole. I never watched that show, mainly because of the problems cited by Jon.

Furthermore, I think the 2nd vid you linked to could quite possibly be THE BEST daily show clip ever. I'm not even kidding. Finest hour, for sure.
