David Brock started out life as a liberal. After being exposed to people at Berkeley who'd make Bernie Sanders look like Barry Goldwater, he moved to the right - the extremely hard right. He's the guy who started Troopergate, was the driver behind the attacks on Anita Hill, and sprung Paula Jones on the American people. After he figured out he was being used, he swung about as far to the left as he had been to the right. He runs Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and founded Media Matters for America.

Anyone who'd reply "David Brock Warning" also screams about Hillary having been a Goldwater Girl.
