Hill attack dog Brock demands Bernie halt his

[cali]

negative campaigning against Hillary the paragon. There is no one more vile in dem politics. Filthy.



A high-profile ally of Hillary Clinton is calling on Sen. Bernie Sanders to “immediately halt all negative campaigning” against the Democratic front-runner.

David Brock, founder of the Correct the Record super PAC, released a letter to Mr. Sanders Tuesday warning him that he could damage Mrs. Clinton’s chances against Republicans if he attacks her character and motivations.

The letter reflects a growing confidence in Mrs. Clinton’s camp that coming off her victory in the Nevada caucuses on Saturday she is in strong position to capture the Democratic nomination. Mrs. Clinton won two of the first three Democratic contests. Next up is the South Carolina primary on Saturday. A majority of the state’s Democratic voters are African-American, a loyal Clinton constituency, and polls show she is favored to win.

Mr. Brock, in an interview, said he grew concerned about Mr. Sanders’s intentions after seeing some of his statements following the Nevada caucuses. Mr. Sanders suggested during a news conference on Monday in Boston that his rival inevitably will be influenced by the millions of dollars in “special interest money” flowing into the main pro-Clinton super PAC, Priorities USA Action.

“Now, maybe they are dummies,” Mr. Sanders said of Wall Street interests. “And maybe they just think they throw millions of dollars and expect to get nothing. Maybe. I doubt that very much.”

[Cali_Democrat]

1. Brock is right

It's time to stop the attacks and unite against the GOP.

[Android3.14]

22. I think you mean

Unite with the GOP and Clinton against the interests of the 99%.

[Cali_Democrat]

27. No. I said "unite against the GOP."

I thought I was pretty clear.

[oasis]

50. Brock's a great fundraiser for Bernie doncha know?

Any minute now we'll some outraged poster will declare they'll kick in another $27 to Bernie's campaign.

[daleanime]

51. Well, yeah....

we don't have the positive image of him that you seem to.

[roguevalley]

95. Brock is a punk. F him. He can stop all of his slithering around trying to

plant stories. My how some forget.

[daleanime]

107. This is one....

I don't forget.

[ALBliberal]

114. Kicking in $27 laugh all you want and even though it's tough on the budget

I will do it. Future of my kids is at stake. And it's our way if supporting a candidate that battles dark money in this campaign.

[ALBliberal]

117. Oh and I suppose you feel your contributions to PACS or her campaign

are just as meaningful. Sometimes I get the feeling her rank and file supporters just kick back and leave the money raising to the big banks and mega corporations. Fine. But please don't ridicule our small dollar contributions.

[Android3.14]

76. Then you must have meant "unite with Bernie Sanders against the GOP and their corporate lackeys"

Because it is more than "pretty clear" who Clinton owes her allegiance, and it is not us.

[BeyondGeography]

52. Bernie votes with Democrats 98 percent of the time and will endorse Hillary

He's also superb at ripping Republicans a new one on most any issue. Which side are you on?

[UglyGreed]

36. Have you seen Correct the Record's

you tube page?????

[Nuclear Unicorn]

46. "It's time to stop the attacks and unite behind Sanders against the GOP" I think you meant to say.

[Cali_Democrat]

48. No. I said "it's time to stop the attacks and unite against the GOP."

I thought I was pretty clear.

[Voice for Peace]

60. The problem is disagreement over electability.

When all the numbers show Bernie as beating every R in GE. They WANT to run against your candidate.

[Beowulf]

130. You are very clear in what you mean.

[morningfog]

87. I agree, Hillary should concede and endorse Bernie sooner

rather than later.

[pangaia]

90. LMFAO

[timmymoff]

92. Banned!

I've been here a few days and all of a sudden the thin skinned ones banned me from participation in their group. Why do they not want me sharing ideas to help make them stronger? I am shocked and appalled at how the Hillary group hasn't the courage to examine their candidate. What are they scared of?

[gordyfl]

99. Join the Club

[Merryland]

102. "I can't hear you!" "I can't hear you"

I was banned too. It's a badge of honor.

[gregcrawford]

121. I was banned early last year...

... without even knowing I had trespassed on sacred ground, and just asked a perfectly reasonable question. And this was before Bernie had even announced. So, yeah they're very touchy. The intolerance that seems to pervade that group is more than a little disturbing. I offered to hug it out, but there were no takers.

[debunction.junction]

126. Wear your "Ban" as a badge of honor. They are not deserving of your time.

You can't talk rationally to irrational people. Examining their candidate? They don't give a damn. They certainly can't let any facts get in the way. It might cause a short circuit. They never explain what programs they support. I'm sorry but when the only thing some of them can come up with is that she is a woman, that is sexism in the first degree.

[timmymoff]

133. I guess it is a block

But mainly I listed wall street contributions, private prison money, wal- mart but one character referred to all I said as innuendo. I do not understand how people who claim to want to fight for democratic principles are so thin-skinned they can not handle a litany of truths. Maybe I do not understand the term innuendo. I don't know.

[Tanuki]

139. Talk about thin skinned.....

I was banned from the Bernie group for asking if Mannie Garcia had endorsed anyone yet! Sad but true.

[jillan]

147. Unless you support Hillary 100% you will be banned.

[Avalux]

96. Brock can go fuck himself. The nerve of him to project what he's doing on Bernie's campaign. n/t

[angrychair]

100. Wow

Mighty "democratic" of you.

[KoKo]

115. There's a BIG "Breaking News" Problem out there with Hillary, though.....

U.S. judge orders discovery to go forward over Clinton’s private email system
By Spencer S. Hsu February 23 at 3:21 PM

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that State Department officials and top aides to Hillary Clinton should be questioned under oath about whether they intentionally thwarted federal open records laws by using or allowing the use of a private email server throughout Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of Washington came in a lawsuit over public records brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group, regarding its May 2013 request, for information about the employment arrangement of Huma Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide.

A State Department official said that the department is aware of the order and that it is reviewing it but declined to comment further, citing the ongoing litigation. Discovery orders are not readily appealable. An attorney for Abedin declined to comment.

Sullivan set an April deadline for parties to work out a detailed investigative plan--subject to court approval--that would reach well beyond the limited and carefully worded explanations of the use of the private server that department and Clinton officials have given.

Sullivan also suggested from the bench that he might at some point order the department to subpoena Clinton and Abedin, to return all records related to Clinton’s private account, not just those their camps have previously deemed work-related and returned.

“There has been a constant drip, drip, drip of declarations. When does it stop?” Sullivan said, adding that months of piecemeal revelations about Clinton and the State Department’s handling of the email controversy create “at least a ‘reasonable suspicion’ ” that public access to official government records under the federal Freedom of Information Act was undermined. “This case is about the public’s right to know.”

In granting Judicial Watch’s request, Sullivan noted that there was no dispute that senior State Department officials were aware of the email set-up, citing a January 2009 email exchange including Undersecretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy, Clinton chief of staff Cheryl D. Mills and Abedin about establishing a “stand-alone network” email system.

The watchdog group did not ask to depose Clinton by name, but its requests in its lawsuit targeted those who handled her transition, arrival and departure from the department and who oversaw Abedin, a direct subordinate.

Sullivan’s decision came as Clinton seeks the Democratic presidential nomination and three weeks after the State Department acknowledged for the first time that “top secret” information passed through the server.

[mwooldri]

118. What attacks?

I hear facts.... not attacks. That Mr. Brock views them as attacks is his problem and not ours.

[workinclasszero]

122. He is totally right!

The enemy is the republicans not fellow democrats!

And BTW Brock....you are running one hell of a great campaign for Hillary!

[Dawgs]

134. Losing 30-40 points in every state over the past few months is not brilliant.

He should be embarrassed.

[workinclasszero]

140. See you in SC this Saturday

And then for the knockout blow on Super Tuesday!

[LondonReign2]

138. People can make believe they are Democrats and at the same time

think a vile, lying, piece of crap like Brock is wonderful? Democrats my ass.

[workinclasszero]

141. Sour grapes much?

[LondonReign2]

143. No, ethical standards

And wondering why people who claim to be Democrats are not only fine without them, but actively cheer the lack of ethics.

[Kall]

123. Oh yeah

The Clintons and David Brock are all about unity.

[Lordquinton]

131. Waiting on Clinton

She started and continues wih the attacks, she should lead by example. Or is she waiting for everyone else in the world to stop first?

[BernieforPres2016]

146. Does Brock still write for the American Spectator?

Once a scumbag, always a scumbag.

[noamnety]

150. No, no. He's a secondary virgin now. (nt)

[PonyUp]

2. Brock the slimeball is getting worried. n/t

[cali]

13. He is a big part of her campaign. That says a great deal about her

[Nuclear Unicorn]

47. Throw a rock on the pig pen. The one that squeals the loudest is the one you hit.

[Trajan]

3. Squirm like a worm, David

Belly deep in the dust ...

[cyberswede]

4. That's rich.

[ejbr]

69. Ain't it though?

She can say Bernie promises things without knowing 100% if they can never be accomplished, but Bernie can't state she received money from Wall Street that we KNOW with 100% certainty. WTF?

[hobbit709]

5. I'd say Brock is projecting.

[Dustlawyer]

44. Bernie, stop telling the truth, it will hurt your opponent's chances to beat you!

[Go Vols]

49. that ^^

[TIME TO PANIC]

62. +1 n/t

[dchill]

79. +1

[ybbor]

93. +1

eom

[Dont call me Shirley]

111. Another +1.

[JimDandy]

113. Darn you beat me to it! +10. n/t

[Matariki]

6. Ha! Says Mr. Sleaze.

I guess we should take that as a warning that Brock is about to go extra negative. Because that's how he rolls - using projection.

[Stryder]

125. Bring it.

I like to chip in a few bucks after they smear Bernie.
They throw BS, we throw donations. A little negative reinforcement.

[Matariki]

129. +1

Exactly what I've been doing. Every time.

[PonyUp]

7. Just like Hillary, you think you can demand people to do what you want. n/t

[VulgarPoet]

8. I pay no mind to those who stoop to Rovian levels. n/t

[cali]

9. Brock illustrates the worst in politics. He is no better

than Lee Atwood. And who he is reflects a great deal.

[Spider Jerusalem]

30. You mean "Atwater" (n/t)

[Fuddnik]

89. Or Goldwater

[Purveyor]

10. Oh Davey...

[Yuugal]

21. Ahahahahahaha!

[bobbobbins01]

11. They eeked out a win in a stete they claimed was their firewall.

And they think they can spin that into her being inevitable again. Its a war of attrition now.

[bunnies]

12. Awwww. Poor little Davey haz a sad.

Stuff it, Brock. The truth is the truth. Deal.

[cali]

14. He really needs to do to himself what Cheney told Leahy to do.

[bunnies]

17. mmm hmmm. Sideways. nt

[NCTraveler]

15. "There is no one more vile in dem politics. " lol

Stayed tuned to next weeks rants. Love it.

You sure it isn't Gutierrez. After all, the esteemed Rep. Conaway was even used to attack him here. How do you feel the most vile is someone other than Gutierrez considering Rep Conaway is more ethical than him to some here.

Things are getting really good after Nevada. Loving the transparency.

[cali]

20. Hill fans excuse anything.

You guys actually admire this slime merchant.

[NCTraveler]

24. I never said I admired him.

Slime merchant. I like that.

[cali]

32. Ah, c'mon. Your admiration shines bright!

[NCTraveler]

38. Put on your sunglasses if that is what your crystal ball is telling you.

Then bring it in for adjustment.

[BillZBubb]

54. They have no problem with a sexist conservative asshole like Brock.

He's doing Hillary's dirty work. That's good enough for them.

[840high]

16. Brock the Slime.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Poor Hillary.

[TheLogicalSong]

19. Her general election chances are her problem, not Bernie's.

He should continue what he's doing.

And if she can't handle the softballs Bernie has lobbed at her, she's going to be in real trouble when an unfiltered Trump puts her on blast.

[cali]

23. He needs to hit back.

Her campaign is a cesspool.

[tex-wyo-dem]

132. I Agee...

I know Bernie doesn't want to run a negative campaign and be drawn into the cesspool, but some of this shit needs to be called out for what it is...

[kristopher]

25. I demand to know when David Brock is going to stop having carnal relations with a sponge.

[Lizzie Poppet]

98. I think the sponge filed for a restraining order. (nm)

[dana_b]

26. Wait.. I thought that Bernie was supposed to be the one with thin skin and that HRC was

already vetted?? No?? "Wait until the Repubs get a hold of her!!"

And please... using the TRUTH is negative?? Nope!

Is her skin so thin that she can't take the truth?? If so, she is in for a world of hurt with the e-mail investigations just about to heat up and the campaign getting tighter.

[Waiting For Everyman]

28. Where are those transcripts, Brock?

Erin Burnett of CNN kept asking him that last night and Brock kept dodging, but Burnett and the Sanders surrogate weren't buying it. The Sanders guy was laughing at him.

Sanders people know she is going to win SC and the other states in her pocket just like she knew he was going to win NH. Losing the next few states wouldn't mean anything unless he had to go to big donors for funding, which of course he doesn't. So it's irrelevant.

Bernie's in for the long haul and he just might win it. Brock is nothing, nobody cares what he wants or thinks.

[AtomicKitten]

29. Brock's Rovian psyops bullshit is getting tiresome. The Clintonsphere sure attracts turds.

[cali]

35. It sure does. Sid, Lanny, John. Lloyd. Her buds are really......

[tblue37]

151. Rahm. Don't forget Rahm. nt

[Dragonfli]

31. Telling the truth is not nor has it ever been negative campaigning,

Brock the master of negative campaigning should know this, after all, he is famous for doing just that.

[yuiyoshida]

63. Hey you!

how ya doing?

[Dragonfli]

71. I'm doing just fine thank you!

At the moment my perpetual motion Jack Russel Terrier Dog won't stop pestering me to play, but I kinda like that.
Wanna see a picture of her?



Here's another, just a sec.



How are things with you?

[yuiyoshida]

74. Very Cute!!!

Thanks for sharing that... yeah, sometimes when I am at the keyboard my cat likes to bug me too for attention.. so I can relate

[virgogal]

83. Lucky you. Can I borrow her for a couple of days? :-)

[Dragonfli]

84. Tempting, but no, she is a one person Dog anyway (a result I think of being a rescue animal) /nt

[hifiguy]

33. Brock.

A man who has to look up to see the dog shit on the bottom of a shoe.

That which is offered without evidence may be dismissed without evidence - Christopher Hitchens

[Z_California]

34. Projection

Psychological projection, also known as blame shifting, is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unpleasant impulses by denying their existence while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude.

According to some research, the projection of one's negative qualities onto others is a common process in everyday life.

[democrank]

37. I almost can`t stop laughing.

Do you mean DAVID Brock?
THE David Brock?
The old rightwing muckster?

That`s rich. Brock is accusing Bernie of the very thing Brock does for a living....smear.

[Nanjeanne]

39. There are no words. Why do the media allow him to spew this crap?

[NWCorona]

40. Stay classy Brock lol

This is Hillary's hit man, an admitted liar

''I demonized Democratic senators, their staffs, and Hill's feminist supporters without ever interviewing any of them,'' he continued.

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/27/us/book-author-says-he-lied-his-attacks-anita-hill-bid-aid-justice-thomas.html

[timmymoff]

64. He may have

But you must remember, in Hillaryland it is never to late to "evolve." Once lip service is given we should all forgive and forget thentake his/her word for it.

[pengu]

41. Hahahahaha

[EndElectoral]

42. Facts are an ugly thing to Mr. Brock. Does he honestly believe these corporations just donated

these sums out of the goodness of their heart.

So, this is the new tactic. Paint Bernie as a negative campaigner. How about she "unites" with Bernie and refuses these big corporate donations and gets behind repealing Citizen United rather than just talk about it. Her hypocrisy is mind boggling.

[Punkingal]

43. If I were inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt about anything,

her alliance with this piece of shit would cure that.

[Jefferson23]

45. lol concerned duly noted.

Mook is on CNN right now spinning his head off. E-mail issues
he comments on regarding latest judge's decision is the right wing conspiracy. LOL

Good luck, Brock..you fucker.

[Vattel]

53. Fuck him

[azurnoir]

55. Mr Brock will Correct the Record be correcting Mr Capehart's record? what's that I didn't hear you

maybe the silence is deafening me

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

56. This is just Brock's precursor to going more negative

The next wave of slimy attacks will be accompanied by 'yeah, but he did it first!'

[arcane1]

57. How DARE Sanders tell the TRUTH!!! n/t

[Paper Roses]

58. Dear Mr. Brock:

NANANANANANA.
Never!

[litlbilly]

59. Aww, poor little David, someone haz a sad:)

[thereismore]

61. He is worried, no question about it. They know that could lose if Bernie sticks to issues. nt

[KauaiK]

65. I know all about Brock, but

...he pales compared to the horrid Ted Cruz and his campaign manager.

Yes, I know all about Brock and Anita Hill and how he was outed as gay then did a 180 degree flip. I lived thru it. But Ted Cruz and his father believe Ted IS the messiah - literally. His campaign manager is way worse than Brock.

Brock's innuendos against Bernie will come back to bite he and Hillary in the butt - just like his mud-slinging against Anita Hill.

[jeff47]

136. Cruz fired his communications director for lying.

Still waiting for Clinton to shut down Brock for similar.

When Ted Cruz can legitimately claim the moral high ground from you, you have a problem.

[Uncle Joe]

66. I couldn't stop laughing when I read that POS from Brock.

Thanks for the thread, cali.

[nc4bo]

67. Oh isn't he just a nasty boil of man doing his boss' business.

Suck it up big boy.

The truth is only negative if you're the liar.

[kristopher]

72. "A nasty boil of a man"

Absolutely perfect.

[jaxind]

68. Yeah...

Yeah as soon as Hilary does the same!

[Warren DeMontague]

70. Why doesn't she start trying to win fucking voters, instead of scaring them off the other guy?

There's an idea.

[jeff47]

137. Win them with what?

Her platform is "I'm better than a Republican!!". That alone won't defeat Sanders.

[TIME TO PANIC]

73. Project much, Mr. Brock?

[jtuck004]

75. Her "her character and motivations" damage her chances so musn't be addressed. ROFL n/t

[d_legendary1]

77. Brock: Stop telling the truth about my candidate

You're hurting her chances of claiming the nomination. Meanwhile your candidate didn't fight for civil rights (someone else did), your candidate only cares about one issue, and his supporters are racists.

Again, leave my candidate alone!

[Kalidurga]

78. Dear Mr Brock

we already know the truth is hurting Hillary, thank you for confirming that.

[8 track mind]

80. Mr. Brock,

Do the letters FO mean anything to you?

[HooptieWagon]

81. Excellent! Another money Bomb for Sanders,...

...courtesy of Clinton's #1 shit-thrower.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

82. Am I the only one...

who thought this was The Onion at first? Brock is a jerk

[nxylas]

85. And I'm sure Hillary will do the same

After all, she's been nothing but respectful towards Bernie and his supporters so far

[bkkyosemite]

86. Brock can go to hell. HRC has lied and turned words around that are exaggerated

about Bernie. She truly does lie about Bernie in these debates/town halls. It's disgusting and I'm getting more fed up about HRC's attacks then Brock is about BS.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

88. David Brock can eat a rock.

[zentrum]

91. Brock Is

…pathetic. Ask Anita Hill.

Thanks for Justice Thomas, Davie.

[CharlotteVale]

94. You can't make this stuff up.

[George II]

97. The headline is "Clinton Ally"

[warrprayer]

101. Bark! Bark! Bark! YIPP!

[Ned_Devine]

103. I have a message for David Brock and it starts with f

[TM99]

104. Pure projection.

Why the fuck should we give a damned what Brock has to say about anything? Once a right-wing hack, always a right wing hack.

[FailureToCommunicate]

105. Clinton's campaign has unleashed this monster at their (and all Dems) peril.

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/269791-david-brocks-hardball-tactics-worry-clinton-supporters

[sulphurdunn]

106. Sure sounds a lot like the pot calling the kettle black.

[sahel]

108. I always said that I would vote for her if I had to...

holding my nose, dry retching, watering at the eyes...but I would vote for that rent-seeking, bubkis couple from Arkansas if I had to.

But jesus, they are trying my patience.

[0rganism]

109. HRC needs a better way to respond to this line of attack

assuming she's the nominee, it's not like Republicans are incapable of looking at the same donation data Sanders' campaign used, and you can bet Trump will call her on it. having Brock say "knock it off guys" just isn't going to cut it.

[Jopin Klobe]

110. David Brock Unapologetic About Going After Bernie Sanders

... just to keep it kosher ...

... you hypocritical, little yutz ...

Published on Sep 15, 2015

Sep 15 -- David Brock, the founder of several pro-Clinton groups including Correct the Record, discusses opposition research on Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton’s handling of her e-mails and his new book “Killing the Messenger.”
LINK:

[djean111]

112. As if Brock is anything to take orders from - and yeah, facts are facts, sorry, Brock.

I thought Bernie was the one who couldn't stand up to campaign attacks??????? must get tiring, all the talking out of both sides of some big mouths.

[INdemo]

116. David Brock we know you read DU

You are a Karl Rove sperm specimen...You use the Karl Rove,Lee Atwater tactics like a bully on a playground .....You the bully push a kid down and then run to the teacher and claim "Johnny Hit me"
The Karl Rove method is Attack yoour opponent then Attack again and then when they respond you accuse them of attacking.
If this is the kind of People Hillary Clinton prefers to use within her campaign then she is not a Democrat and she is obviously desperate.


Tell you what you do David Brock GPUAR..Translated that means "GO PISS UP A ROPE"

This is what I've talked about with Hillary Clinton using Republican/Right Wing Advisors and why people still support her is unbelievable.


So David,Ever been near one near a Porta-Jon when a contractor is pumping it out....You know that Horrible smell that comes from that truck?..Well that is the smell you emit when you open your mouth.

It's going to be a beautiful thing!

127. Where the f are the transcripts, Brock? nt

[pdsimdars]

128. Alternate reality

Hillary and her attack machine live in an alternative universe. Her and her minions go out there and spew all kind of misinformation and outright lies about Bernie and if he counters, it's HIM who is being divisive.
Looks and sounds just like the GOP and how they treated Obama.
The GOOD new is that they are getting known for who they are.
Bernie will win.

[Autumn]

142. Like I give a flying fiddlers fuck about anything David Brock

thinks should be done. Fuck him. I would like to see how he and Big Dog react around each other though.

[EndElectoral]

144. Thank you for saying it more eloquently that I could

[Orsino]

145. It's the central issue of our primary, and Clinton's greatest weakness.

I'm sure Brock would like it hushed up, but I'm sure he'd like a lot of things.

[jillan]

148. All Brock really needs to do is tell her to release her transcripts & that will end this convo

Unless of course there is something damning in there.

[Jefferson23]

149. kick. n/t
