(email) David Brock Struggles With Questions About Correct The Record Attacking Sen. Sanders [View all] virtualobserver Sep 2015 OP

David is such a schmuck... No wonder he is Hillarys pet attach dog. peacebird Sep 2015 #1

He wasn't expecting HuffPost to ID him on the slime dump virtualobserver Sep 2015 #3

You are 100% right. Apparently, when Brock sent the email, he requested it be off the record Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #61

Off the record? What a weasel. AtomicKitten Sep 2015 #108

Brock founded the most importantly liberal website in the nation Eriteo Sep 2015 #4

and now he is slinging slime for Hillary against Bernie virtualobserver Sep 2015 #7

Yeah, fuck that guy. frylock Sep 2015 #8

Ok, I do not understand what you just posted. Perhaps because english appears not to be your 1 st peacebird Sep 2015 #9

fair.org is better though. nt Cheese Sandwich Sep 2015 #12

I agree. Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #23

yep, much much better. FAIR isn't beholden to a political party. nt m-lekktor Sep 2015 #41

You didn't explain how it's better Eriteo Sep 2015 #48

Jeff Cohen >>>> David Brock. n/t Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #136

Totally. I love fair.org jkbRN Sep 2015 #58

Exactly. nt SusanCalvin Sep 2015 #100

Now the attack is on Brock personally and not Clinton? Or "her" SuperPac"? Funny stuff...and Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #13

you have your proof now, so now you shift YOUR attack virtualobserver Sep 2015 #22

You shifted YOUR attack to personal attack on Brock! It is crystal clear to all! Media Matters! Ever Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #25

I'm not attacking Brock virtualobserver Sep 2015 #27

No one "demanded proof" the email was real....the issue was there was no email to read ever posted! Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #31

and you were dismissing it because of that virtualobserver Sep 2015 #39

And you are misrepresenting mine and many others requests for the email as something else. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #42

fine, so you believe that Hillary's coordinated SuperPAC slimed Bernie virtualobserver Sep 2015 #57

But Fred still wants to see that long-form birth certificate errr.. email. frylock Sep 2015 #64

The goal posts are on wheels now n/t arcane1 Sep 2015 #73

Yep, but don't let up. Boot to the neck.. frylock Sep 2015 #76

First we lied about the email, now we're condemning Media Matters. Anything to stay off-topic. arcane1 Sep 2015 #83

I'll personally attack this "former" Republican piece of shit, not a problem at all. DisgustipatedinCA Sep 2015 #66

I appreciate the honesty on your opinion of the founder of Media Matters, Fox's arch-enemy. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #68

Thanks. I make no bones about it. DisgustipatedinCA Sep 2015 #70

Funny thing is, the GOP hasnt said anything like this against Sanders yet. 7962 Sep 2015 #103

Well, they are using Hillary, hoping she can slime Bernie and drive him out of the race. PatrickforO Sep 2015 #128

Hey, if he is going to play a slimy political game, I don't want him in my tent. Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #72

Marist poll just released has Clinton leading all GOP main candidates by mostly double digits, Bush by 4. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #75

for now. 160 days or so to watch her fall and flail. and she will. roguevalley Sep 2015 #95

That should be of some comfort to you after Hillary loses the primary. frylock Sep 2015 #107

Hillary is engaged. Quit saying otherwise. morningfog Sep 2015 #131

Leading in sleaze or votes? n/t Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #137

And when the enemy of your enemy becomes the enemy of your friend what do you call that? zeemike Sep 2015 #112

Media Matters does nothing for the Left. I left it years ago. It was a sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #133

And so it came to pass, even the arch-enemy of Fox gets attacked by the extreme LW. Crazy days. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #134

I have been impressed by Brock's work since he turned left. madfloridian Sep 2015 #35

It was not "his group" it was him responding to a request for comment by one Huff Post blogger. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #37

Ryan Grim at WP is one of the authors of the article. madfloridian Sep 2015 #47

Yea its really disappointing. I remember him on Al Franken's AA show every week... phleshdef Sep 2015 #78

you mean he spun for the far right wing, then the establishment DEMS m-lekktor Sep 2015 #43

yes, The website is terrific. riversedge Sep 2015 #14

Brock is a liberal media superhero....these distorted attacks on him are....revealing. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #17

Correct the Record is Brock's Super Pac. That is why he was questioned about Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #34

Is there evidence the email was "released by the SuperPac"? Has anyone read the email? Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #38

In the video, he called the info that he sent "opposition research" virtualobserver Sep 2015 #44

WHAT INFO! Show me the info!! Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #45

it is all in the Huffington Post article...... virtualobserver Sep 2015 #49

You are seriously in denial Fred passiveporcupine Sep 2015 #92

What would it take for you to be embarrassed? n/t Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #138

You have GOT to be dizzy from all the spinning LondonReign2 Sep 2015 #46

they can't bear for the "Hillary isn't attacking Bernie" bubble to burst...but it has. virtualobserver Sep 2015 #50

Yep. Because it follows that if she is attacking him. morningfog Sep 2015 #94

In a big way. For me, the worst part of this hit piece is slamming Bernie for negotiating to keep people Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #105

He admitted it in the interview. "I'm just putting it out there." And HuffPo Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #51

He apparently is in favor of people freezing to death,... HooptieWagon Sep 2015 #32

Or create them Armstead Sep 2015 #36

And now he's lost all credibility. in_cog_ni_to Sep 2015 #54

And he's throwing it all away n/t arcane1 Sep 2015 #67

Once a right-winger, ALWAYS a right-winger Barky Bark Sep 2015 #90

Yeah, right. They correct a mispronounced word and act like its Watergate. 7962 Sep 2015 #99

David Brock is a schmuck and he was always a schmuck. The ONLY reason sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #102

The problem with the big tent is that sometimes vermin get in under the flaps. frylock Sep 2015 #111

Sometimes it isn't worth letting them in. Dems let him in only because sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #118

I remember those days, Sabrina 1, and Brock's dirty history... KoKo Sep 2015 #130

I haven't been to Media Matters for years. I signed up initially, reluctantly sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #132

Yes, I saw some of what you say... KoKo Sep 2015 #140

And now he is becoming Aerows Sep 2015 #113

Then why is he attacking Sanders FROM THE RIGHT?? AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #127

He answers questions the same way Clinton does passiveporcupine Sep 2015 #84

The exchange repeats itself twice I'm the video Eriteo Sep 2015 #2

couldn't tell you, I didn't create the video virtualobserver Sep 2015 #5

I've noticed that a lot of media videos do that of late magical thyme Sep 2015 #62

That was fucking embarrassing.. frylock Sep 2015 #6

I just can�t believe THAT SHIT just came out of the mouth of the MEDIA MATTERS founder dorkzilla Sep 2015 #10

What an ass. I'm just putting it out there, eh? Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #11

cowardly. zero responsiblity virtualobserver Sep 2015 #15

Had to look that up. madfloridian Sep 2015 #87

Oh, boy, a great new word to learn and quickly forget! But you're right. nt valerief Sep 2015 #96

Ass. SoapBox Sep 2015 #18

Opposition research? Fawke Em Sep 2015 #19

Yep. Hillary favors poor people freezing to death. HooptieWagon Sep 2015 #26

She did not put it out there upaloopa Sep 2015 #52

And where did HuffPo get the 'story'? HooptieWagon Sep 2015 #60

First Officer Spock must be turning over in his grave on Vulcan on reading that. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #69

fred, did you actually watch the video? he admits to sending it, admits it was him and isn't sorry dorkzilla Sep 2015 #85

First Officer Spock is a fictional character, much like President Hillary Clinton. frylock Sep 2015 #114

Doozy! Divernan Sep 2015 #129

No. It came from Huffington Post. David Brock or someone send an email to a Huffington Post upaloopa Sep 2015 #79

So, tech whiz Brock 'accidently' cuts and pastes an attack on Bernie... HooptieWagon Sep 2015 #86

Did you read the story? upaloopa Sep 2015 #97

There is no context to this video. Hit piece on Brock IMHO riversedge Sep 2015 #20

nonsense virtualobserver Sep 2015 #24

No context by Bloomberg Corporate Media means nothing to see...Never have watched or respected anything on Bloomberg. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #29

He didn't deny sending it. He acknoeldged he did Armstead Sep 2015 #40

Hey, this is just very lame and out-moded damage control. Actually funny, how formulaic. djean111 Sep 2015 #53

It's a defense mechanism. I can't imagine how damaging it is to their psyche.. frylock Sep 2015 #115

The context is painfully obvious. They are talking about what Huff Po reported about Brock's PAC... phleshdef Sep 2015 #82

Getting to the depths now, huh? morningfog Sep 2015 #56

Yep. I see that. leftofcool Sep 2015 #142

He should be embarrassed, that was a feeble and lame smear job. HooptieWagon Sep 2015 #21

Brock's ability to engineer smears didn't die. It was just dormant. n/t RufusTFirefly Sep 2015 #30

It looks like he never intended to be identified as the source of the smear Bjorn Against Sep 2015 #28

exactly, this was private slime virtualobserver Sep 2015 #33

Yep. HuffPo revealed that he had requested it be off the record BUT he made the request Luminous Animal Sep 2015 #63

Rookie mistake.. frylock Sep 2015 #65

Reminds me of Bushco feeding stories to the NYT arcane1 Sep 2015 #71

This has the stench of planted story all over it.. frylock Sep 2015 #116

I respect Media Matters but Brock is total "deer in the headlights" here and deserves to be... phleshdef Sep 2015 #74

In full agreement here. It's the good work of MM which makes this so much more annoying. arcane1 Sep 2015 #81

You can change the ideology of the sleazebag, Admiral Loinpresser Sep 2015 #124

Haha Douche Supreme whatchamacallit Sep 2015 #77

Is this Brock creature Thespian2 Sep 2015 #80

he has nice hair! nt dorkzilla Sep 2015 #89

He's been a Clinton hitman for 20+ years. 7962 Sep 2015 #110

That explains Thespian2 Sep 2015 #141

Brock is certainly a weasely fellow in the video. senz Sep 2015 #122
