Do you know Brock's history? He used to be one of them. He used to
be a lying right-wing hit man:

''Timeline of Brock's Career

1986: Brock comes to Washington to write for Insight, a conservative
weekly magazine published by the Washington Times' parent company

October 1991: Professor Anita Hill testifies at the confirmation
hearing for Supreme Court justice nominee Clarence Thomas. Brock later
recalls watching the hearings from his office at the Washington Times,
where he was an editor; and that at first, he "believed that what
(Hill) was saying was quite possibly true." About a month later, Brock
gets an assignment to write about Hill for the American Spectator, a
conservative journal based in Arlington, Va.

March 1992: The Spectator publishes Brock's sharply critical piece on
Hill, whom he describes as "a bit nutty and a bit slutty."

April 1993: Brock's book, The Real Anita Hill: The Untold Story, is
published. In an interview on C-SPAN, Brock says the book's key
message is that, "when you look at the evidence, the battle of
credibility is settled hands down in favor of Clarence Thomas. Anita
Hill's testimony is really shot through with false, incorrect and
misleading statements."

December 1993: In the January 1994 Spectator, Brock, now on the
magazine's staff, writes about what would come to be called
"Troopergate": allegations by Arkansas state troops that they helped
procure women for Clinton when he was Arkansas governor.

October 1996: Brock's much-awaited biography of Hillary Rodham
Clinton, The Seduction of Hillary Rodham, is an unexpectedly
sympathetic portrait that startles and angers many of his conservative
supporters.

July 1997: In an Esquire magazine article titled "I Was A Right- Wing
Hit Man," Brock writes that because of the way conservatives
dispossessed him over the Hillary Clinton biography, "I want out.
David Brock the Road Warrior of the Right is dead."

November 1997: Brock is fired from the staff of the Spectator.

April 1998: In an open letter to President Clinton published in
Esquire, Brock apologizes for his "Troopergate" expose, which he says
was written not "in the interest of good government or serious
journalism," but as part of an anti-Clinton crusade.

June 2001: The August issue of Talk magazine publishes an adaptation
from Brock's forthcoming book, Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of
an Ex-Conservative. In it, Brock says he "lost his soul" by knowingly
writing things about Hill that he knew were not true, and became "a
witting cog in the Republican sleaze machine."

Based on that copy/paste operation, it *is* apparently safe to
presume that your response to my former question (...Would you
agree that those who rely upon and place faith in blatantly
biased websites like mediamatters.org are not equally (to
borrow your phrase) "mentally deficient"?...) is a resounding
YES!
