KING: Hillary Clinton camp now paying online trolls to attack anyone who disparages her online

Many moons ago, David Brock, now the head of a Hillary Clinton Super PAC, used every resource available to ruin the life of Anita Hill and anyone who supported her. He would lie, cheat, and blatantly misrepresent facts if it meant getting Clarence Thomas through the Supreme Court nomination process.

Brock openly admitted it.

Now, it appears Brock, who is no doubt great at what he does, is using his same old tools, but for a new cause in a new technological era.

As head of the Correct The Record Super PAC for Hillary Clinton, David Brock has launched something called Barrier Breakers — an online mob of paid trolls designed to attack any and every person who says one cross word about Hillary Clinton on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, or elsewhere.

For those in the Hillary group if they aren't already on the payroll. Wonder how KARMA will respond to these people. Beneath pond scum, utterly disgusting!

Even Bernie's Twitter page has exploded with rude, vile and disgusting comments. There, at times is a common verbiage and there is something weirdly common about a lot of user names.
