David Brock suffered a heart attack yesterday, per spokesman
Too bad
We read about famous liberals and their everyday scum having weight gain, insomnia, nightmares, ED, not wanting sex, severe depression, and now MIs. There is a new DSM diagnosis category for these problems.
The syndrome that has stricken liberals across America and world, which Grampa Dave has often referred to has been reclassified and re-acronymed in the latest version of the DSM V(b) [That’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (of Psychiatric Disorders) for you non-practitioners.]
The old name for Trump Un-acceptance & Resistance Disorders is now:
Trump Resistance Unacceptance and Malicious Political Disorder, which can be used in polite company, is: TRUMPD.
We thank FredZarguna for the above.
Damn you, Obamacare!
Nah. It was the 5 point exploding heart technique.
Well. That’s all I’ll say.
He was a raging liberal, then his college wouldn’t publish his article, so he “became a conservative.” He was briefly popular with the right for publishing an expose in the National Review of Clinton’s affairs and his involvement of the Arkansas State Troopers in covering up and enabling said affairs. Then, he turned his attention towards exposing Hillary in a much-anticipated book, and . . . he turned in a puff piece. In investigating her, he fell in love with some dude who worked for her. His readers were angry. His book was savaged. And he went back to being the raging liberal he always was. He then founded Media Matters, which solely existed to try to take down Rush Limbaugh. The standard MO has been to take something he says wildly out of context in an attempt to peel off listeners and advertisers. He has also adopted the Larry Flynt method of offering money for any dirt on a Republican candidate or public figure.
Oh, and he’s accused of being part of the PizzaGate scandal.
So, yeah, a nasty, nasty piece of work.
I don't think he was a secret liberal all along, and it wasn't just pique over a rejected article that turned him against the left for a time.
A lot of people drifted rightward in the Carter years and then recoiled leftwards later on. Berkeley in particular had that effect on many.
Brock was particularly obnoxious because he was building a career on investigating and let his readers down after he got in good with Team Clinton.
You could argue that at some deep level, David Brock (like the guy he gets confused with, David Brooks) wasn't "really" or "truly" a conservative, but there's no evidence his conservative phase was just a scam.
Put a bonnet on him and he’d look a little bit like Martha Washington.
He’s the one who said the reason he originally flipped was their refusal to publish his article. He said that when he was still “one of us,” so you could take it to mean having his eyes opened to the intolerance of the left. But, I’m not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt or psychoanalyze him.
Besides, I’m just giving a rough overview of who Brock is.
“I presume he isn’t dead”
I guess that CIA heart attack gun needs to head back to the lab for an upgrade. Probably just needs a bit more kick for heartless Leftist operatives.
The only good rat is a dead rat.
The headline made me smile.
Is that wrong?
You must deal with your conscience the way you see fit. But if it helps, I absolve you of the sin of smiling!
in our prayers.
I have removed the obvious Snide remarks from this post
Thank you very much.
I’d done a Wiki search of him, and yes, “a nasty, nasty piece of work.”
Well now....it does occur to me that the Demorats lost it all pretty much and soooooo.....the bigger boys are not happy.....pressure is on for them all.... it’s payback time for all the comforts they’ve had throughout Obama’s terms.....including the press...they have no choice but to do what they are told, when they are told to do it...and that includes the press and all these think tanks that called the whole election wrong.
You could say all the markers are being called....Brock may not be the only one feeling the pressures ....
