This is going to be one of the more popular political books during the next year IMO.

It's already #5 on the NYT best seller list:

5. DU is meaningless, but they don't want to know this

It's been no secret that the right wing has mounted a huge attack on Hillary and part of that strategy involves sock puppets pretending to be liberals posting on internet sites to sow as much dissension as possible.

It's reminiscent of their huge push in the early days of this technique where logical arguments are put forth that "Both Parties are the same, why bother voting?", a meme which had its best success in voter suppression in 2014.

Often the internet conceals what really is going on, just like things before the internet.

14. I agree

And DU has it's share of those sock puppets. Sadly there are some gullible people here who join in and spread the BS also.

17. Why would anyone buy a book from this disgusting pos after what he did to Anita Hill?

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.

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

[energy_model]

19. Because he founded a website that debunks right wing misinformation

Media Matters. Ever heard of it?
What year did he smear Anita Hill by the way? Last year? 3 years ago?

[leftofcool]

20. But, if he had written a book supporting bernie he would be a hero.

[Shankapotomus]

21. This should be made a scandal

as much as the GOP made lying under oath about sex a scandal.

Noise should be made. McCarthy shamed in public on camera. People should be impeached.
