David Frum Debunks An "Important" New Conservative Book (can a book be bunked?)

This is a link to part 1 of a 4-part article by David Frum in The Daily Beast entitled Is the White Working Class Coming Apart?

Frum and Murray have had some mutual animosity in the past, as Frum explains. But unfortunately, I think Murray's book, Coming Apart - The State of White America, 1960-2010, is going to be a conservative touchstone in years to come. David Brooks has written a column hailing it as the most important book of 2012 -- in early February. You may not have heard of Coming Apart before, but I think you will, from Randite conservatives deploring the liberals' destruction of "American values."
