The joker ‘organizing’ this is a ‘Campaign Director’ for Media Matters!

This was a planned assault from the get go.
Of course it was pre-planned. That is the nature of leftwing political warfare.
Nobody should be surprised.
Blumenthal provided Brock the kind of media play only good liberals get. In the respected hipster pages of Esquire, back when print media still mattered, not only did Blumethal’s liberal writer and editor friends provide Brock a platform to provide a stream of convenient lies about the VRWC, he granted the then early 30-something a venue for a “coming out party” in a way R. Emmett Tyrell of the American Spectator would never have imagined or allowed.
And Brock took advantage with gusto. Even though everyone in DC knew Brock was gay, the Esquire piece was as much a political outing as it was a lavish “coming out” extravaganza. Brock was not a household name and certainly didn’t warrant the photo placement and sizing that he was granted. But when an otherwise boring political subject is happy to take off his clothes and tie himself to a tree in the name of fighting the VRWC–well, all bets are off.
As I recall, with the piece hitting newsstands, the talk of Washington was not the tell-all, but the photo. What narcissism! What delusions of grandeur! What showmanship. Sidney Blumenthal had helped birth a star. And the Esquire photo helped to define Brock as both martyr and hero.
Fifteen years later, Blumenthal’s crafty strategy, fueled by Brock’s apparent paranoia, would become the basis and mindset for Brock’s livelihood. Now the anti-VRWC is a thriving multimillion dollar business, conveniently wrapped as a non-political 501(c)3, complete with the benefits of a tax write-off.

When are they going to realize that as it is today, media (as they define it) Doesn’t matter. These people are flakes, flukes, whatever. They’ve been at this game fr decades because they can’t compete in the market, ala Air America. Sniveling, craveen, spoiled little brats. They use every tool (and I do mean Tool) the stifle opposition. It hasn’t worked thus far and it won’t work now.
So he’s a Soro’s Slut?
Yeah, I figured it was a Media Matters operation. Well, I’ve never believed that the Left was anything but an enemy. Don’t forget to listen to Rush tomorrow.
