David Brock of the American Spectator

http://www.shwiggie.com/articles/clintons.html

<The troopers said their official duties included facilitating Clinton's cheating on his wife. This meant that, on the state payroll and using state time, vehicles, and resources, they were instructed by Clinton on a regular basis to approach women and to solicit their telephone numbers for the governor; to drive him in state vehicles to rendezvous points and guard him during sexual encounters; to secure hotel rooms and other meeting places for sex; to lend Clinton their state cars so he could slip away and visit women unnoticed; to deliver gifts from Clinton to various women (some of whom, like Flowers, also had state jobs); and to help Clinton cover up his activities by keeping tabs on Hillary's whereabouts and lying to Hillary about her husband's whereabouts.>

I remember when Brock said that, and thought, Jesus, he's worse than the guy who came up with the Willy Horton ad.

you make all kinds of claims about the alleged sexism of others.

No one claimed she forced POS Brock or anyone else to say sexist crap.

As LBJ said of J. Edgar Hoover: "Well, it’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in."

So Brock's access point to the Clintons after trashing with them was a fellow dirty tricks scumbag, Sidney Blumenthal. Game knows game.

The op asked to guess. I took an educated guess and went with Sanders. No surprise. The comment in the op really aligns with some of Sanders writings. That is really clear. Where do you see the desperate slam? Was it Sanders?
