To name just one:

Based on attack ads on Shaheen that I am seeing on TV these days, my guess is the same Koch money that helped Brown defeat Coakley followed Brown out of Massachusetts and into New Hampshire.

3. Mitch, what did you agree to do for the Koch suckers? What's the Quid Pro Quo?

How much of out tax money did you promise to give? If we had publicly Funded Elections we could outlaw this kind of crap!

With these guys worth $50 BILLION EACH, where are they hiding their $ from the IRS?

Env. violations that come to mind are Crossett, ARK where it appears Koch Indust. is dumping chlorine directly into a waterway below the plant causing a cancer cluster in the neighborhood downstream and piling up petcoke 4 stories high along the Detroit R. Recall when there was an uproar about the latter, the coke was removed, but to where?

I wouldn't doubt they just dumped it in the river. That's what these criminals do to the environment, then you (and they) get cancer. And then they give less than $100 million to some cancer cause to up their philanthropic profile. What's $100 million to a 78 y.o. worth $50 BILLION?

11. I have been to Crosett, Ark., just over the Louisiana border. It's a company town.

We were representing hundreds of former employees that the Koch's knowingly exposed to asbestos and covered it up. They killed hundreds of workers by this exposure over decades!

Needless to say, the cartoon I imagined before clicking on the link was nothing like this.
