"THE NEW YORK TIMES FORGETS ITS OWN SMEAR CAMPAIGN
Yesterday’s New York Times headlined: “New Democratic Strategy Goes After Koch Brothers.” Anyone who follows the political scene can only respond to that headline with hollow laughter. The Democrats’ “new strategy”? Most of the emails that I have received from the Democrats in recent years have used the Koch brothers as a fundraising foil. But the Times tells us that the anti-Koch campaign has just now been inaugurated by Harry Reid, on the floor of the Senate:

Democrats are embarking on a broad effort that aims to unmask the press-shy siblings and portray them, instead, as a pair of villains bent on wrecking progressive politics. …

Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, foreshadowed the campaign by taking to the Senate floor on Tuesday….

What is funny about this is not only that the Democrats’ hysterical anti-Koch campaign is nothing new, but that the New York Times itself has been a prime participant in the effort to smear the brothers. This has been true recently, as in January, when the paper’s editorial board fulminated, in its usual over-the-top style, against “the Koch Party.” But the editorial board has been ranting against the Kochs for years. In fact, the paper had to issue a retraction of a lie the editorial board told about the brothers in early 2011. (I like to think that my exposure of the lie precipitated the retraction.)"...

The Koch Brothers have poured BILLIONS of dollars into GOP coffers.

Legally poured their money.

If you disagree with what the Koch brothers do, you can always do what LJ does and boycott their companies.
Personally I think it is great that these guys put their own money up for political causes instead of most Americans who just whine about government.

Koch Brother Donates Money to Hospital, Liberals Protest
(Not a Parody)

The Koch brothers are at it again. Their right-wing political Panzer Division descended on a New York City hospital over the weekend to protest (!) the addition of a new ambulatory care center. What the hell, Koch bros? Why not pro-America?

Sorry. That’s not quite right. In fact, it was the New York State Nurses’ Association, the NAACP New York State Conference, and SEIU Local 1199, among others, who marched on the soon-to-be-built David H. Koch Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, which was funded in part by a $100 million donation from the man one prominent liberal recently predicted would go down in history as a “famously evil person.”...

lol The Dems must have meant that now they really are going to go after the Koch Brothers. Everything prior was just pretend.
