Am I the only one sick of hearing about Kochs?
We know how the Republicans spend their money. Diapers, Hookers, & Meth.


Their toilet paper money doesn't scare me.

1. Their money may not scare you,
but what they do with it should.

4. Not at all sick of hearing about the uber-wealthy Koch boys --
but very sick of hearing the propaganda being catapulted by their invested billion$.

NPR pointed out this morning that Big Medicine and Big Oil are also supporting the Teabaggers.

Something foul is afoot.

9. Their toilet paper money gave us non stop bullshit distraction during the Clinton years.

Now they have a better shot at crippling this administration. Given the financial collapse. I might not be scared of much but I'd like to shine a light on these disease ridden Kochroaches..... (see what I did there?)

11. Here's one more story...it involves chickenhawkery and public funds...
I have a friend, who, when he was younger and prettier,...uh...uh...worked...the art/philanthropy circuit. He told me that almost 20 years ago, one of the Koch brothers gave him a $10, 000 grant from the NY Arts Commission (public funds) for...uh...uh...an art project. Or at least that's what Koch called it.

12. We need to know the depth of their influence and involvement
these people pray to a God who would allow them to have wage-slaves instead of unionized workers.
they want the ultra rich and the working poor.

You need to hear about every little think these sick bastards have their pinkies into.
remember, your conservative friends actually believe the Koch brothers would give them the time of day if they met them on the street!

16. Yes, because we all know that things go better with Koch.
;-)

Hey, two Wichita oilmen who are putting up big money to screw up this nation -- I'd say that was rather important.

18. It' s not really about being scared.
I've been trying to find out where Breitbart gets money, for example, and no matter how many hours I put in, I often find stuff out at DU first.

So, I guess for me, that would be a "no".

20. Yes...you are the only one tired of hearing about them.
They are very dangerous and the more we know about them the better we can deal with them.

21. we need to hear about them every god-damned day.
Pretending they aren't a very real danger is not a recipe for a healthy future.

22. Being from Texas, I am tired of Boogie Men
Houston homebuilder Bob Perry soured me on scary people once and for all.


When WE fight, we win.
