Kochs Lash Out At 'Dangerous' Critics, 'Radical' Obama

[Purveyor]

By KENNETH P. VOGEL | 3/26/11 12:20 PM EDT

In lengthy interviews with a conservative magazine, the billionaire Koch brothers mounted an aggressive defense of their business and political interests, describing their liberal critics as “very, very extreme” and “very dangerous” and President Barack Obama as a “radical” with “Marxist” ideas whose success is owed largely to his “silver tongue.”

Obama is “the most radical president we’ve ever had as a nation … and has done more damage to the free enterprise system and long-term prosperity than any president we’ve ever had,” David Koch is quoted saying in a story posted late Friday on the website of the Weekly Standard.

In a grudging reference to Obama’s rhetorical skills, he added: “It just shows you what a person with a silver tongue can achieve.”

David’s brother Charles Koch said of Obama: “I’m not saying he’s a Marxist, but he’s internalized some Marxist models — that is, that business tends to be successful by exploiting its customers and workers.”

2. Talk about projection.

They're the ones who are extreme and dangerous.

[PatSeg]

27. Typical right-wing tactic

Accuse your adversary of your own faults. They do it over and over again, and the same idiots keep eating it up. "Fool me once, twice, a hundred times and I'll believe you because I'm such a trusting soul."

[Cali_Democrat]

3. Apparently they didn't appreciate the extension of the Bush tax cuts

[sakabatou]

4. Waiter, I'll take some cheese with the rich guys' whine.

[Botany]

5. Please!

Obama is “the most radical president we’ve ever had as a nation … and has done more damage to the free enterprise ....

Oh is that why corporations are sitting on record profits and >4 trillion + in cash?

[Joe Bacon]

21. ROTFLMFAO!

Yeah, we see how much of a Marxist Obama is. He's so much of a Marxist that he gave a blank check to the pimps who run the health insurance rackets. In fact, Obama is going to make more people pay the pimps to continue denying care to everyone.

Sure sounds like a Marxist to me. :sarcasm:

[Botany]

26. tim geithner & hank paulson

well known socialists helping Obama w/ his marxist agenda .... working for Goldman Sachs & Henry Kissinger were
just fronts for al Qaeda and the American Communist Party.

But sadly unlike DU and other place where people read and think the Koch Brothers can tell lies to their bought
off tea bag followers and they will buy it hook line and sinker.

BTW to Rush Limbaugh, Fox News Producers/Writers, & Freepers .... please check out if what I wrote is true ...
google is your friend.

6. Food for the useful idiot teabaggers

[TheBigotBasher]

7. So say the two brothers

who earn fortunes from the government that they claim they want to abolish.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Business does tend to be successful by exploiting its customers and workers.

That's not Marxism; it's reality, and the Kochs (and the entire Republican Party) are living proof of it.

[msongs]

9. great! the more they come out of the shadows the more ppl can really see what's going on! nt

[Purveyor]

14. My one and only reason for posting this tripe, indeed! Sunshine baby, sunshine... eom

[Faygo Kid]

10. They want to own this nation, and destroy the rest of us. Make no mistake: This is war.

They are not kidding, and are unleashing their untold billions.

Dishonesty is already their modus operandi; just a matter of time until violent measures are taken to eliminate their opponents.

[NEOBuckeye]

16. Aww... the poor rich crybabies... How dare those lowly peasants pick on us!

It seems that the Kochs are actually dangerous cowards who hide behind their riches, using them to inflict harm upon everything and everyone that they hate.

As bullies, they can't stand it when people stand up to them, hence the martyr song and dance they are selling tickets for.

All the more reason for anyone who still gives a damn about the future of civilization to get in their faces with the truth that is their corruption and shout them down.

[DJ13]

11. Obama "has done more damage to the free enterprise system..."

Have those dipshits LOOKED at the stock markets and balance sheets of US corporations since Obama took office?

If he was any more in the pocket of people like the Koch brothers he would have to be put in their wills.

[craigmatic]

12. I'd rather have somebody with a silver tongue run the country from out front rather than

a silver spoon trust fund baby behind the scenes.

[cascadiance]

13. Swallowing their koolaid is MORE dangerous to Amerika!

[Vicar In A Tutu]

17. Ahh, the Cock Brothers.

Born into affluence, never done a real day's work in their lives. The perfect people to be an authority on what is best for the unscrubbed millions.

[Joe Bacon]

23. No, they are KOCHROACHES

Now where's that can of RAID when I really need it?

[Scuba]

18. David Koch speaks his truth...

"business tends to be successful by exploiting its customers and workers.”

The rest is bullshit. These two bastards are pure evil.

[old mark]

19. To David and Charles Koch- FUCK YOU! You are anti-American bastards, and have nothing

worthwhile to say.

[Scuba]

20. What Mark said. n/t

[Arkana]

22. Sorry, guys--it's not our fault you don't like the spotlight.

Also, apparently the "HE'S A MARXIST" thing isn't localized to poor, stupid Republicans either.

[otohara]

24. Wow, He Really Hates POTUS

and his silver tongue....:rofl: :popcorn: :rofl:

[Moostache]

25. Once the revolution starts, these are the first two heads I want to see roll.

The French aristocracy thought pretty much the same thing of the public at large that these two jack-offs think.
They perfectly embody the "born on third base, thought they hit a triple" crowd. What remains STUNNING to me is that so many people are living in their fact fact-free bubble.

In times of record corporate profit hording and record wealth disparity, the sheer gall it takes to say the things these assholes say is amazing.

Hey Chuckie and Dave - I am about 30 years younger than you both and I fully intend to piss on your graves and drink a celebratory toast to karma when you both die - hopefully after very long and extremely painful illnesses. In fact, I hope that you both suffer strokes, followed by a bought with malaria, survive a stretch of Ebola and finally succumb to pancreatic cancer that takes years to consume your black hearts.

I also hope you live in 100% conscious awareness that when you die (hopefully of the above series of maladies), you will be forgotten to history just like me....1,000 years from now, any humans left on this rock will have no more recollection of you than they will of any of the rest of us.

All the money.
All the power.
All the ability to move the political winds.
They are all temporary and transient. That is not true power, its abuse of it.

True power would be using that wealth to alter the planet to benefit ALL.
You have FAILED.

29. Hey David Koch......

Hey I'm not saying your mother is a whore, but she has lots of sex with farm animals in exchange for money

[HughBeaumont]

30. Yes, because most Marxists I know give the rich everything they want and more.

"Most radical and damaging to free enterprise", said the two pee-pee dicks who saw their wealth increase 5.75 billion DURING HIS ADMIN. And how interested are the Koches, or any monopolist, for that matter, in "free enterprise" anyway?

So yeah, these two fascists can fellate some dead bulls. And if I were those two old bitches, I'd be watching my back. Like the song said: "There's nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose."
