2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDo we know who David Brock is really working for?
He was a died in the wool Republican until he hooked up with the Clintons to start defending them.
All the "apparent" errors being made in the Clinton campaign's political tricks are driving voters to Bernie. Especially young voters and young women. She is losing ground in all categories.
So......maybe Brock is really still a Republican, pushing this tainted candidate on Democrats in a way that will split the party if she is the nominee.
Heck, DWS was a Republican too, wasn't she? IIRC.
And..............well.............

(3,660 posts)The "admitted liar" is because he admitted in interviews about lying about Anita Hill and the Clintons.
Now he runs Correct the Record, a Hillary super-PAC dedicated to obfuscating the record which now owns Blue Nation Review previously a progressive media site. BNR fired previous staff and serves as the Pravda-style propaganda arm for Goebbel's style propaganda by Brock and Peter Daou.
Nixon thought it was ok if the president did it. Hillary followers seem to think it's ok as long as it's Hillary and her campaign...

But now he's riding with Clinton so it's all good!

(45,319 posts)Book Author Says He Lied in His Attacks on Anita Hill in Bid to Aid Justice Thomas
By ALEX KUCZYNSKI and WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: June 27, 2001
The author of a best-selling book that attacked the credibility of Anita F. Hill has disavowed its premise, and now says that he lied in print to protect the reputation of Justice Clarence Thomas.
David Brock, the author of the book, ''The Real Anita Hill'' (Free Press, 1993), has also suggested, in a magazine article to be published this week, that Justice Thomas used an intermediary to provide Mr. Brock with damaging information about a woman who had come forward to provide support for Ms. Hill's accusations of harassment by Justice Thomas. Ms. Hill's accusations became the focus of Senate hearings into Justice Thomas's nomination to the Supreme Court in 1991.
Mr. Brock reported that he then used the information to force the woman to retract her statements about Justice Thomas.

You should read the entire thing and understand who it is you are defending and what he did to Anita Hill.

(38,613 posts)On Tuesday, Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton rapid-response operation, announced it was splitting off from its parent American Bridge and will work in coordination with the Clinton campaign as a stand-alone super PAC. The groups move was first reported by the New York Times.
That befuddled many campaign finance experts, who noted that super PACs, by definition, are political committees that solely do independent expenditures, which cannot be coordinated with a candidate or political party. Several said the relationship between the campaign and the super PAC would test the legal limits.
But Correct the Record believes it can avoid the coordination ban by relying on a 2006 Federal Election Commission regulation that declared that content posted online for free, such as blogs, is off limits from regulation. The Internet exemption said that such free postings do not constitute campaign expenditures, allowing independent groups to consult with candidates about the content they post on their sites. By adopting the measure, the FEC limited its online jurisdiction to regulating paid political ads.
