10. Eh? Did that really need posting twice in the same thread? I can scroll, you know.

I'm pointing out what I see as lazy journalism and concern trolling by that journalist. Now, with your "some on this thread," you're in danger of sounding like him!

Unless it's too long for you, try actually reading what I wrote and quoted above, including my mention of a "warts-and-all" profile of Brock by Goldberg.

It's going to be a long two years till the election. If, so far, all that can be leveled against Brock in terms of malfeasance (I can only assume that's what's behind your urgency here, as otherwise I can't understand your reaction) is that he's defending somebody he sees as the Democratic frontrunner, and someone he has a long history of sympathy with (writing his Hillary Clinton book was by all accounts a key part of Brock's turning point away from Republicanism), then that's pretty weak sauce.

I'm no Hillary fan, but if she does eventually throw her hat in the ring, if she can fight the primaries with a less inept and inflammatory team than last time round, I'll be glad to see it. It might even mean the issues get clarified more effectively than in '08, and who knows, an as yet unannounced challenger to the as yet unannounced candidate may even win.

But yeah, let's fall for the media's need to sow division on already fertile ground and chuck David Brock under a bus. That'll help. Let's start having at just about the only effective counter to the Republican noise machine, and spread suspicion.
