Politico’s puff profile on David Brock misses more than a few basic points (Hillary = birther)

In a Tuesday morning puff profile on Hillary Clinton loyalist and Media Matters founder David Brock, The Politico actually manages to blame conservatives for an anti-Obama attack designed and launched by — wait for it — Mrs. Clinton’s camp.

“For Brock, the attacks on Obama bear some similarities to the types of attacks on the Clinton White House,” the site tells us. “Obama has faced a range of attacks from the right, including the belief, championed in some conservative quarters, that he was not born in the United States.”

Dun-dun-dunnnnnn!

But the funny thing is, if we rewind The Politico just two years, 11 months, we find “That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama’s citizenship.”

So the key example of the evil right-wing misinformation campaign is actually a product of Clintonland.

Dun-dun-dunnnnnn!

And in the fourth paragraph, Mr. Brock — who is more than a little mean, more than a little paranoid — laments “how conservatives upended many of our long-held ways of conducting politics that what they did then fundamentally reshaped how we engage in politics now.”(continued)

Thought you might want to be courteous to David Brock.

Never puff David Brock. You get dirty and Dave enjoys it.

Well, Mr. Brock,

Were you lying then or are you lying now?

Cretin.

In defense of Politico, Media Matters, David Brock, and Hillary Clinton, they are all scumbags.
