146. he seems as comfortable in the slime as every other Hillary surrogate...

Sep 2015

he is not an outlier....he is so very compatible with the likes of Sidney Blumenthal and Lanny Davis.

I'm sure that Dick Morris, Bill Clinton's 1996 Campaign manager
would probably still be in the Clinton fold if his scandal hadn't led to his downfall.

(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

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

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

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
