Frum's response to Morning Joe apologizing for him

He said here: 

"It is a very ominous thing if our leading forums for discussion of public affairs are already feeling the chill of intimidation and responding with efforts to appease. [...] I do not write to scold anyone; I write because fear is infectious. Let it spread, and it will paralyze us all. The only antidote is courage. And that’s infectious, too."

Yes, the fear of retribution is real. But appease the threat and fascism grows. Fight it and you very well could end up losing your job or in jail. But if enough have the courage we just might beat it back, for a while at least.
