Isn't it about time the public knew more about Hillary's dirty trickster, David Brock?

Those who follow politics closely know who this sleazy individual is, but it's long past time that Joe and Jane Q. Public knew about him, too.

And, more importantly, it's long past time that Joe and Jane Q. Public knew that Hillary employs David Brock.

The end justifies the means mentality was something I once only associated with Republican polticians. No more.

and ask, why does Hillary have David Brock working on her campaign in any capacity? This is the same person who smeared Anita Hill from top to bottom with lies & distortions.

Understand who and what he is, as well as some of the things he has done and is doing now.

If anyone want's to use this or any of it's parts, consider me placing it in public domain with complete free usage, as the author of this short primer and meme:




[center]Rare sighting of a brockpuppet in the wild[/center]

Remember people, because Brock can legally coordinate directly with the Clinton campaign only as long as he just uses the internet to work her campaign, herds of these things have been released into the wild.

Please be cautious when encountering these creatures as they are known to maul Democracy and are very hazardous to the truth
This has been a public service announcement.[/center]



David Brock's SuperPAC Funds these "digital media specialist" Yes That David Brock, who Slut Shamed and victim blamed Anita Hill a victim of sexual harassment (in his capacity as a professional slime merchant) Using among other things the phrase, "She's a little bit Slutty and a little bit nutty". Just to get Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court.

I have zero respect for him and the blatant breaking of campaign laws regarding PACs not being allowed to coordinate directly with campaigns, stretching a loop hole that he interprets as meaning they can break that law as long as he only operates on the internet. I refer to him as "a little bit racist and a little bit salacious" as Anita Hill was a black woman of impeccable character

Exploiting a "loop hole" they've read into it. All while claiming they want to reform finance law. Utter bullshit. She cannot be trusted.

As far as Im concerned, he is the lowest of the low.

It seems obvious to us internet political types who read and research a lot, so it's easy to assume that Clinton supporters just don't care, because her online activists have long known who he is and what he does for her campaign.

But I don't think most Hillary supporters nation-wide are aware of this, and in a presidential election, it's really important that they know who and what they are supporting. Many of them, I think, are just somewhat reflexively supporting two brands, the Clinton brand, and the Democratic brand, without looking closely at what is behind the labels. Some percentage of those voters can be awakened with information such as this.

So I fully agree, it's a great place to put energy, spread the word. Thanks!
