Conservative scholar David Frum fired from American Enterprise Institute for criticizing GOP all-or-nothing health vote strategy

In this minor shocker from the right, we find out just how much liberty and freedom of speech really mean to the people who fund conservative institutions like the once respected American Enterprise Institute -- which has reportedly forbidden Institute staffers like former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum from discussing the health care reform debate -- because too many of the  staffers reportedly agree with too much of the Obama health care initiative.

The   American Enterprise Institute apparently  fired conservative blogger and analyst David Frum -- who had held a resident fellowship at the AEI for seven years --   in the wake of criticism from  conservative political forces like the Wall Street Journal  and, crucially, large donors to the Institute, reportedly furious with an article on Frum's  blog site suggesting the GOP's all-or-nothing strategy of trying to stonewall health care reform had resulted in the most significant conservative GOP legislative loss since the 1960s.

Although Frum says no mention of the hailstorm of right wing criticism was made during his sacking,  fellow conservative commentator, Bruce Bartlett (who has also been under fire from the big money right for truth-talking) wrote that Frum had told him that American Enterprise Institute had forbidden Frum and other AEI staffers from discussing healthcare reform in the media -- because, Frum indicated, the Institute staffers agreed with too much of Obama's health care agenda.
