My mother sometimes criticizes my writing for the fact that I talk above a lot of people. Instead of talking above other people, David Frum talks down at them. I found it hard to listen to David Frum during his interview with Mark Levin. David kept talking even when Mark would turn the microphone down, and he avoided answering questions. His behavior seemed more like a liberal than a conservative.
When he did answer, his answers resembled that of Elizabeth Swan in Pirates of the Caribbean. I head a ton of words but no meaning whatsoever…them’s a lot of long words, and we’re not but ‘umble pirates… Using a lot of big words and complicated phraseology is a tactic undertaken by intellectuals with MDs and PhDs who want others to know how insufferably smart they are. Many of these people grow very frustrated when I understand the nothing they spout and follow up on their mealy-mouthed montage. Circles around the issue to make people think like he has a plan and is making a difference, but he still neither gives ideas nor substantive contributions. Mark kept having to lower the volume on him because he wouldn’t shut up, and even when the volume came back up you could tell he had not ceased to pontificate despite having lost access to the audience.
David’s incessant talking in circles demonstrated his true purpose in coming on Mark’s show. He’s not interested in a discussion, he used his appearance on Mark’s show as a platform to protract his ill-advised and poorly grounded assaults on Limbaugh’s character. At every attempt, he tried hijacking the discussion and attempting to hijack the party not on principles but on perception.
Finally, David went down the talking points list, as if reading from Moveon.org or Media Matters for America. Like Obama, he says absolutely nothing but uses large words that make an impression on people who say, “big words, this guy must be smart. We should listen to him.” In the end, he resulted to personal attacks on Mark and on Rush. Unable to attack the ideas, he attacked the person, calling them losers, dragging skeletons out of the closet of which I was not aware and which bear no relevance whatsoever on the topic.
Self-proclaimed conservative thinkers like this tell us that we have to stop being what we are, that the only thing wrong with us is us. They are entitled to their opinion, but indemnification and slander of character is a crime, not a debate, and it just went to show how inconsequential this man really is except in his own mind.
