Brock is tainted
What does Brock say on that subject?


Question - St. Louis, MO : A question from one who refers to himself as left-of-center, not liberal:
So you're saying you were a former conservative and, if I have this right, you admit lying in
previous publications to suit the right wing cause. What makes you think that simply because
you've burned your bridges to the right that we have any use for you? In essence, you lied
on the record. Anything you have to say from here on out will be tainted by that valid accusation.
One thing we left-of-centers learned from the 2000 election is that you have to
take-no-prisoners if you're playing to win. You're a horse with a lame leg. Counterpoint?

David Brock: I understand that what I'm saying now inevitably raises credibility questions,
but I think that what I'm doing is more honorable than concealing my past, sweeping it under
the rug and moving on. This is a voluntary act on my part, and I think if you read the book you'll
be able to see that it is a credible account, just as other reviewers have concluded.


The conservatives are just hoping that they can keep enough war talk in the air that people won't go back and check the facts. They certainly were glossed over at the time.

When you look for profit, look to Ken Starr. His payoffs are just coming to light, especially big legal fees for fighting campaign finance reform. That money is only begun to be traced.
