Hawkins
runs the conservative blogads hive. When FrumForum applied for entry,
Hawkins refused. He gives an explanation here of his reasons.
[T]he
mainstream media loves “conservatives” and “Republicans” who will trash
whomever the Left hates most. So, if you’re willing to talk about how
Sarah Palin is a hick, Glenn Beck is a crank, Rush Limbaugh is bad for
the country, and the Tea Party is bad for democracy, the mainstream
media will reward you – and because conservatives pride themselves on
being open minded, they’ll all too often give you a pass for your
atrocious behavior — especially since the MSM doesn’t insist you play
their game all the time. As long as you’re willing to say what they
want about the people they hate the most, they’ll reward you with a
cover story at Newsweek and then in your off time, you can churn out a
few articles to point gullible conservatives towards while you’re
trying to guilt them into taking you seriously by crying “epistemic
closure!”

| Frum has a too cute by half response. I don't know what happened to David Frum. He was tapped to serve in Dubya's White House
as Special Assistant to the U.S. President for Economic Speechwriting.
I forget the details, but it seems to me his wife let slip some
indiscretion that embarrassed Bush, and Frum went into the dog house.
In any event it seems David came down with a case of David Brock disease. Going here and simply scrolling through the headlines pretty much makes Hawkin's case. I rule in favor of the defendant.
