John Hawkings tells David Frum “Get Bent!”

Now before I report on this one. I have to make the following disclosure; I am in the following Advertising Hives on BlogAds:

BlogAds is a great way to advertise and besides, it helps one of the most important people on this blog… ME! 😉 😀 😛 So, if you’re looking to promote a group, an event or anything else for that matter. I high recommend that you give BlogAds a whirl…

Okay, now that I got that all out of the way. It seems that John Hawkins over at Right Wing News basically told David Frum where to get off and to take short bus to get there:

Ah, I’ve been waiting for this.

You see, I don’t work for Blogads (or Google. Not sure where that came from), but I do indeed run the Blogads Conservative Hive (It’s a great place to buy conservative ads).

In May, someone representing Frum’s blog wrote me (I don’t see the point of dragging his name into it), noted that FrumForum had joined Blogads, and asked to be included in the Hive.

Now, as a general rule, I try to be very open minded about who gets into the Blogads Conservative Hive. If they’re generally friendly to conservatives and seem to have a mostly conservative audience, I don’t mind having them on board. So, aside from conservative blogs, there are Libertarian blogs in the Hive and there are blogs I’d call center-right. It goes without saying that there are plenty of issues where members of the Hive, myself included, don’t see eye-to-eye.

I ca attest to that; I am in the Conservative Hive myself. I do not agree with Hawkings all of the time either. Hell, I was one of the first people that told Hawkings that Chuckie Johnson needed to get the heave ho. But, at the time, he said he wasn’t going to do that. I am quite glad that he reconsidered. But I do still see Chuck Johnson’s Blog Entries in the RSS Feed Ad; for whatever that’s worth.

Hawkings goes to explain the situation and ends with this:

There’s an easy answer to that question: the 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!”

This is what David Frum does for a living — and don’t think he doesn’t know it. Even the people who write for him know it. I ran into someone who writes for his blog at an event once. He was extremely defensive about writing for them. I must have heard him tell at least three people, myself included, something akin to, “I write for FrumForum, but please don’t hold that against me.”

Long story short, everybody has to make a living. But, I’m not interested in helping people like Frum play this little game where they try to cripple conservatives publicly while coming around on the back end to milk us for money. If Frum wants to be a dancing monkey for the Left, let them come up with the money to pay for the tune.

Countdown to Frum accusing Hawkings of being an Anti-Semite and this being some sort of plot against the Jooooos by the Conservative right; You know, Debbie Schlussel style…. in 5…..4…..3….2……

Mr. Hawkings. I know Peons; and you sir, nor your website are peons. I, on the other hand, am a Peon.

That is all… 😛
