So, apparently, Correct the Record people are trailing Bernie in Iowa.

[Fawke Em]

So says a Buzzfeed reporter:



Didn't their first foray into trying to attack the senator cause his supporters to raise $1.2 million on his behalf?



In any case, I doubt they found much of anything. Sanders has been mostly consistent for 30 years.

[zappaman]

1. Sorry, but what's Correct The Record?

[daleanime]

2. A Hillary PAC

[Fawke Em]

7. Here's a story on them.

[zappaman]

9. Thanks!

[leftofcool]

19. Last line of the article says it all. Nancy Pelosi is right on.

[roguevalley]

20. Pelosi told him in general:

"One thing Nancy Pelosi has said to me is, 'Burns, in politics, if you take a swing at somebody you can rest assured of one thing: They're going to swing back. So why not prepare in advance?'"

Let me see ... he has not and will continue to not 'swing' at her so they're preparing for something he won't do .. yeah, that makes people want to vote for you. I hope this makes ten million for him.

[leftofcool]

22. You do understand that this is about the GOP right?

paranoid much?

[jeff47]

27. Sure! That's why they're following a Republican!

Oh wait...they aren't.

[tomm2thumbs]

31. B I N G O

[cui bono]

36. Is your new talking point that Bernie is a Republican?

Or did you just not bother to read the OP?

If you're going to throw snarky retorts like that out there you should at least know what you're talking about. Otherwise it makes you look pretty silly. Why on earth did you ever think you were on moral ground to call Sanders supporters childish and call for Hillary supporters to email his campaign with link to DUer's posts?

EDITED

[madfloridian]

33. David Brock left Media Matters to run that pac.

[portlander23]

3. They probably didn't get the memo

That Mrs. Clinton won't be attacking Mr. Sanders

WaPo: Clinton’s hands-off policy toward Sanders is a long bet — with risks

I'm sure it's all a big misunderstanding...

[Fawke Em]

5. I guess since she's not David Brock, then she

can say that out of the other side of her mouth.

[portlander23]

14. ... or is she??

[Fawke Em]

17. I love dramatic prairie dog.

LOL.

I think he was billed as dramatic chipmunk, but he's definitely a prairie dog.

[RiverLover]

45. Just like how she's stressing now it was her lawyers who separated her personal from business emails

So when the FBI finds business/federal emails among those she deleted as personal, she will have an "out."

[Trajan]

4. Remind me again ... Who is Correct the Record representing?

Thanks

[jfern]

6. It's pretty clear that "Correct the Record" means lie about Sanders

And they are coordinating with the Hillary campaign, so basically this is a way for her campaign to get around the $2700 donation limit.

[brooklynite]

18. I'm not supporting CTR, but I need no evidence of them lying...

The fact that Sanders supports Corbyn and that Corbyn has been positive about Hamas and Chaves are true. The dispute is over whether that is in any way relevant to the campaign, and I agree that it isn't. However, "lying" is a stretch.

[roguevalley]

21. :D Keep going. :D Corbyn is now labor leader of his country's labor party.

You must be sucking conservative party fumes again.

[brooklynite]

25. "Corbyn suffers blow as Trident vote is rejected at party conference"

Jeremy Corbyn has suffered a major blow to his authority after a bid by the Labour leadership to press for a vote on the renewal of the Trident nuclear programme was overwhelmingly rejected at the party’s conference.

Hours after the opening of the event in Brighton, Britain’s largest trade unions and the party membership spurned a call for the conference to hold a debate and a vote on Wednesday about whether Britain should renew Trident.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/sep/27/corbyn-trident-vote-rejected-labour-party-conference

Corbyn is indeed the leader of the Labour Party, but the Party is seen as being fractured by the choice, and there are significant questions being raised about his ability to win in the next Parliamentary election.

[jkbRN]

29. He won

[brooklynite]

41. I said: win the PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION (in five years)

[jkbRN]

46. Hm

Well his chances to win this last time were 250:1

I would suggest that you not try to predict the future. It looks pathetic.

[jfern]

23. Their trying to tie Sanders to things Corbyn said were lies

And I think they fed that $18 trillion lie story to the WSJ.

[onecaliberal]

8. Good luck with that. It's their candidate who changes her "positions"

Like she changes her undies.
She's projecting now.

[Fawke Em]

10. He had a great meeting with a youth group today.

Creative Visions - and it was primarily a group of people of color. He interacted, took questions and was well received.

Camp Weathervane is getting scared.

[onecaliberal]

11. Good. They should be. We're coming for her owners.

[Volaris]

30. OMG THIS.

[99th_Monkey]

12. Can't wait for Brock's next "expose" of Bernie

the last one netted Team Bernie $1.2 million in donations.

[Fawke Em]

15. This time they'll show Bernie at some fair or farm show

in Iowa with a sickle in his hands and compare him to Lenin.

[BuelahWitch]

38. Or maybe Marx

Or maybe Marx AND Lennon!

?fb

[bettyellen]

47. Hilarious- but should have used ducks for Groucho....

[AppalachianAmerican]

13. I wouldn't put it past Brock to stoop to James O'Keefe's level.

Truly nasty and unscrupulous guy.

[m-lekktor]

16. me either.nt

[leftofcool]

24. LMAO!

[cui bono]

26. Wait, Correct the Record is running for president too? You have the poll numbers?

[daleanime]

34. It's amazing the surrogates that can be had...

with enough $$$$$$$.

[jkbRN]

28. This is how I feel about

Brock

[tomm2thumbs]

32. You are being cruel to compare him with vomit

what did vomit ever do to you?!!

[jkbRN]

37. Wake me up in the middle of the night

[beam me up scottie]

35. Does anyone remember the book Brock wrote about Anita Hill?

The Real Anita Hill

In March 1992, Brock had authored a sharply critical story about Hill in The American Spectator magazine which became the nucleus of the book, The Real Anita Hill.[1] It was positively reviewed by several people, including George Will in Newsweek, Jonathan Groner, then-associate editor of Legal Times, in The Washington Post ("a serious work of investigative journalism&quot , and by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt of the New York Times ("carefully reasoned and powerful in its logic&quot . Excerpts were also printed in the Wall Street Journal. It was negatively reviewed by Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson in The New Yorker, Anna Quindlen in the New York Times, Dierdre English in The Nation, and Anthony Lewis in the New York Times, as well as Molly Ivins, and Ellen Goodman.[2]
Legacy[edit]

Brock now describes the book as a "character assassination" and has since "disavowed its premise".[3] He has also apologized to Hill. In his subsequent book, Blinded by the Right, Brock characterized himself as having been "a witting cog in the Republican sleaze machine."[4]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Anita_Hill

Really, does anything this man does for money surprise anyone?

[BuelahWitch]

39. Yes, I remember this book

And no surprise there.

40. NYT: Book Author Says He Lied in His Attacks on Anita Hill in Bid to Aid Justice Thomas

Book Author Says He Lied in His Attacks on Anita Hill in Bid to Aid Justice Thomas
By ALEX KUCZYNSKI and WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: June 27, 2001

The author of a best-selling book that attacked the credibility of Anita F. Hill has disavowed its premise, and now says that he lied in print to protect the reputation of Justice Clarence Thomas.

David Brock, the author of the book, ''The Real Anita Hill'' (Free Press, 1993), has also suggested, in a magazine article to be published this week, that Justice Thomas used an intermediary to provide Mr. Brock with damaging information about a woman who had come forward to provide support for Ms. Hill's accusations of harassment by Justice Thomas. Ms. Hill's accusations became the focus of Senate hearings into Justice Thomas's nomination to the Supreme Court in 1991.

Mr. Brock reported that he then used the information to force the woman to retract her statements about Justice Thomas. The article, in the August issue of Talk magazine, is excerpted from Mr. Brock's new book, ''Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex Conservative'' (Crown Publishers), which is scheduled to be published in September.

Describing an article he wrote for The American Spectator, a conservative magazine, in 1992, which became the basis for his book on Ms. Hill, he said he did everything he could to ''ruin Hill's credibility,'' using ''virtually every derogatory and often contradictory allegation I had collected on Hill into the vituperative mix.''

''I demonized Democratic senators, their staffs, and Hill's feminist supporters without ever interviewing any of them,'' he continued.

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/27/us/book-author-says-he-lied-his-attacks-anita-hill-bid-aid-justice-thomas.html

He is a piece of filth, I don't care how much he says he's changed, what he did was unforgivable.

[m-lekktor]

42. yes I remember him from the 90's. he started the Clinton rumors ball rolling.

Whitewater, Paul Jones,etc. He worked for the rightwing rag, American Spectator. He was a total fucking sleazebag!

[azmom]

48. Was?

[R B Garr]

43. Oh no! How dare anyone interfere with Bernie's coronation with some

stupid accountability questions. Oh no!

[sabrina 1]

44. Good, last time David Brock and his gang of corporate funded morons tried to smear Bernie, they

helped raise over $Million Dollars for his campaign.

Some idiots just don't learn. Let's see what lies they come up with this time and how much they make for Bernie with those lies.

I'm guessing another dirty smear will double what they helped him get last time.

Why is Hillary associated with this slime?

[MindfulOne]

49. Maybe that explains this lame attempt to shame him, re pro-wrestling event.

I think it's cute, but it's not posted by a Bernie fan, AFAIK:
