A tale of 2 political hitmen: The similarities of David Brock and Roger Stone

One takes a pint sized dog named Toby almost everywhere, smokes electronic cigarettes and wears his silver hair in a sweeping pompadour.

The other has a portrait of Richard M. Nixon tattooed on his back, boasts that he owns more shoes than Imelda Marcos and traffics in conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination.

I think they're both despicable but they may be useful to us in taking down Trump this fall.

Brock heads an org whose sole mission is to hire out trolls to infiltrate forums, blogs etc to spread disinformation. God knows what other rat fucking he's involved in. I don't think you can show that Weaver is involved in that.

I never have and never will accede to peer pressure regarding politics, or anything else for that matter,on this site or any place else. Your response illustrates your lack of response to what I said about Weaver.

but David Brock he ain't.

As for the boxer thing, that was stupid. I don't know that it was a lie, but it's dumb to go there. She looked anything but scared to me.

In any case, that was opinion, not a lie and it in no way compares to what Brock has said and done. Do you know Hillary's pal was responsible for Paula Jones using Clinton?

The other did not.

Let's compare quotes!

Brock called Anita Hill "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty".

About Hillary he said: .....“not just surprisingly poor judgment on her part but character flaws of a particularly dangerous and self-destructive sort.”



<snip>

His remarkable metamorphosis to ardent acolyte from sworn enemy of Bill and Hillary Clinton (his voicemail greeting during the first Clinton term informed callers, “I’m out trying to bring down the president”) was the subject of his best-selling 2002 memoir, Blinded By The Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative.

Weavers love for self is well known.

Would you like for me to link to a poster here by the name of cali stating just that?

Weaverfuck!!!!!

Guy is as shady as they come and you know it.

Happy Thursday. I'm really just mocking Brockfuck. It made me laugh.

I don't think he is as bad as Kissinger. That's why you won't find a quote of me saying so. I love your flailing.

Love that cutting edge commentary. You taught me something new. Just add fuck after the name.

I knew you had no quote of me equating Sanders to Kissinger.

The word I used was spot on.

We never see Brock. He stays in his hole and gets paid with dark money. With posts like this, I'll write Bernie's name in. Get Hillary elected that way. You can't even address your own OP.
