Clearance did. After being sexually harassed at every job. She should have not gone to ant job Clarence was at. That was a mistake on her part.

13. We are still living with the consequences of his fuckup

Brock pretty much single handedly insured the Thomas nomination with his smear campaign that he knew was unethical at the time. In addition to lying about Hill he extorted the witness, Kaye Savage, by threatening to release sealed documents about her and her children from her divorce.

Brock is a first degree asshole. And yeah he's apologized before and now he's doing it again because he knows his assholery ultimately gets shit stains on the Clintons.

Fuck Brock and the horse he rode in on. He can go back to being a GOP hack for all I care. Unless he can unfuck Thomas and all the fucked up decisions he's been a 5-4 party to, his apologies are worthless. The fact that the Clintons have anything to do with him speaks volumes.

10. He ran Media Matters for years

Years and years. A site that I could swear I've seen quoted here approvingly. But fuck him! Now that we're back in the "everyone who supports a Democrat who's not my Democrat is irredeemably evil" season of hysteria (just like 2004, and 2008 ....), he's a cockroach in need of extermination.

8. In fairness, he's regretted it and acted on that regret for a long time now

from his Wikipedia page:

"Brock directly addressed the right-wing "machine" in his 2004 book, The Republican Noise Machine, in which he detailed an alleged interconnected, concerted effort to raise the profile of conservative opinions in the press through false accusations of liberal media bias, dishonest and highly partisan columnists, partisan news organizations and academic studies, and other methods. Also in 2004, he featured briefly in the BBC series The Power of Nightmares, where he stated that the Arkansas Project engaged in political terrorism.

About the same time he founded Media Matters for America, an Internet-based progressive media group "dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."

Brock's book "Blinded by the Right" came out, in which he detailed his activities with the likes of Ann Coulter and others in the Arkansas Project. I'm not sure why folks are just now catching on to things from 13 years ago. I think Brock has done his penance for the sins of his past.

MR. Brock profited from smearing a black woman, because he had an awakening and become liberal"run media matters all should be forgotten?

Did he give money he made off his book about Ms.hill to her ?

Breaking news this is not. The book: The Republican Noise Machine.

Eleven years and many anti rw noise machines crusades later...

Look I stay out of the fray these days - but this is silly.
