2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhy is NoHope Hillary coordinating with a racist/sexist who put a sex molester on the supreme court?
As we all know, David Brock, the guy NoHope Hillary is coordinating with to smear Bearnie Sanders with stories of sexism, racism, communism, and every other ism out there, worked very hard to smear Anita Hill when she stood up against Clarence Thomas in his confirmation hearings.
For those who may not remember the details, Anita Hill accused Thomas of sexually harassing and molesting her (who can forget leaving one of his pubic hairs on her can of coca-cola?). Instead of using facts to discredit her, Brock later admitted that he knowingly lied in order to destroy her credibility (sound familiar?). One of his 'clever' quotes was that she was "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty."
Today, David Brock is NoHope Hillary Clinton's closest ally in smearing Bernie Sanders with lies and distortions. Why aren't her supporters condemning his presence on her campaign? Why are they not pushing for her to denounce his superPAC and demand that he stop raising dark money from mega-banks and multinational corporations in her name?
Why are so many willing to ignore the works of David "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty" Brock?

(646 posts)I did not know of the Anita Hill connection. This should get broader coverage. I wonder if his view is that Clinton is the weaker candidate in general...

(14,524 posts)... David "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty" Brock?
Anything and I mean ANY-GAWDDAMN-THING to win. It defines Hillary Clinton. There is no lie too wrong. There is no trick too dirty. There is no smear too vile. No character assassination too low.
It's how she and apparently her supporters roll.

I mean, I wouldn't be able to cast a vote for someone I truly believed these things of, would you?

(11,709 posts)And you know how disgusting and unforgivable it was to destroy a respected law professor in order to place a sex molester on the Supreme Court.
And that is exactly what you're supporting when you try to dismiss his actions.

(37,549 posts)Here seem to be fairly ignorant about the relationship between David Brock, his partner, and HRC.

(44,977 posts)husband and her from that slime sucking pig and his attacks on them. When that fucker asks me for forgiveness for that and for what he did to Anita Hill I will be more than happy to tell him to fuck off. I wasted my fucking time defending her and I'm not about to defend her again. From anything.

And Brock apologized in 2001 for bashing without first checking the facts. Think about it.

(11,709 posts)He's still the racist/sexist sex molester enabler he always was. His kind is what's destroying the Democratic Party.

He Made money from smearing a black woman

Did he public apologies to her
