Regardless of David Brock's "redemption", I have a great personal distaste for the man. Don't get me wrong, I found "Blinded by the Right" to be a very intriguing and eye-opening confession, and scary eye-opening examination of the Right Wing smear machine, but this guy is a whore of the first class, even if he is OUR whore at this point.
I guess my biggest issue with this guy has to do with his excuse, or self-introspection into what motivated him to be lured into being one of the major cogs of the machine that smeared Anita Hill, and caused such a load of bullshit over the Clinton's for all of those years. His coping with his homosexuality, seeking acceptance, desire to fit in, or whatever (read his book for his personal insights, he talks about re-finding the value of family, talking to his father, etc.) was supposedly a driving factor.
You know what, David, you are full of shit. You are a whore of the first class, a typical social-climbing drama queen enamored with notoriety and celebrity, and loved being part of the power-circle.
Pardon the drawing of generalizations, but the D.C. gay scene is typical in rating people with the answers to the following questions:
1) What's your name? 2) How much money do you make? 3) What do you drive? 4) Name the five most influential people in gay society (or any other social power circle) that you know.
This guy blames his overbearing desire for acceptance on his coping with homosexuality yet he plays the sorority house popularity game that is so predominant in D.C. among the homosexual community, except on a national scale. And in doing so, in embracing the Republican party because of the "power" it gave him in social standing, he turns his back on his own "people".
This is crap. A bad person is a bad person, and a person drunk on power and adulation is still a bad guy. Yeah, people change, but this scum-bag played out his demons on a national, hell an international scale, and that is just reprehensible.
