Hardcore neocons are suddenly questioning Beck's loyalty because he had tried to go after an Obama czar who may be a neocon's man:
Whose Side is Glenn Beck On?

I have a lot of time for David Horowitz. He has written important books and a fine memoir. His organizational work on college campuses commands respect.
For those reasons, I am grieved to see that his attempted rebuttal of my post below on Glenn Beck conforms exactly to the pattern I described in my original piece.
My original piece observed:
When Glenn Beck made his Fox debut, some shrewd conservatives responded with a wink. Maybe the show was paranoid and hysterical. Maybe Beck was none too scrupulous about facts and truth. But why be squeamish? The other side did as bad, or nearly. And see how usefully he mobilized the base!
....
Three thoughts in reply.
First, even in Leninist terms, Beck’s attack on Sunstein was stupid and counter-productive. Every legal conservative who cares about the issues of regulation and deregulation agrees that Cass Sunstein is the very best choice for the OIRA job to be hoped from a Democratic president. Had conservative opposition somehow derailed the Sunstein nomination, President Obama’s next appointment would almost certainly have been worse – very possibly, a lot worse.

Notorious neocon "axis of evil" Frum not happy with Glenn suddenly. Neocons loved Glenn as long as he was pushing their agenda and now suddenly turn on him as soon as he tries to expose next Obama czar Cass after Van Jones.
This almost wante me to support Beck if he has the guts to keep going after the next Obama czar and did not cower in to these remnants of a repugnant cabal.
Looks like the term "conservatives" was used quite loosely here.
