What is a democrat “flack”?

I thought the word was “hack”.

flack is basically the same as flunky. A flack is just someone who could also be a hack, but is basically a person who is a gofer...does all the menial, party tasks no one else wants to do. They become hacks if they display the kind of insanity this gerbil-brained dope displayed in wishing an opponent’s children get murdered.

The term ‘flack’ is usually used for people in the communications arm of an organization. I’m unsure of the origin but it could have to do with their dealing with the ‘flak’ (actual term for antiaircraft fire) that their candidate/organization receives.
