Seriously, what does it say about a party who finds Glen Beck "amusing" and ostracizes David Frum for this column ...

Seriously, all of you republicans who keep talking cheerfully about November and how great it is going to be need to take a very careful look at what your party is becoming - because it is dang scary. It is becoming a party that ejects moderates and makes excuses for the worst excesses of its extreme wing; that actually goes on witch hunts for moderates and targets them.
Three days after calling health-care reform a debacle for the Republicans, David Frum was forced out of his job at the American Enterprise Institute on Wednesday.
The ouster also came one day after a harsh Wall Street Journal editorial about the former speech writer for President George W. Bush, which said that he "now makes his living as the media's go-to basher of fellow Republicans" and accused him of "peddling bad revisionist history."
Frum made clear in a letter to AEI President Arthur Brooks that his departure after seven years at the conservative think tank was not voluntary. "I have had many fruitful years at the American Enterprise Institute," he wrote, "and I do regret this abrupt and unexpected conclusion of our relationship." AEI did not comment immediately.
