David Koch Refuses to Answer Questions About Citizens United, Secret Right-Wing Meetings
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 07:21 PM by XanaDUer
SNIP - Last week, ThinkProgress conducted an impromptu interview with David Koch — one of the richest men in America, co-owner of the conglomerate Koch Industries, and a top financier of right-wing front groups — after we found him leaving the swearing-in ceremony for Speaker John Boehner (R-OH). In the first part of the interview, Koch said that he “admire (s)” the Tea Party movement, and that “the rank and file are just normal people like us.”

3. There's a strikethrough code
At the end of the quote from Koch, the writer had to change "admire" to "admires" but because Koch didn't say "admires," the "s" had to be inserted in brackets to make the quote grammatically correct. Take out the brackets and the strikethrough will disappear.

5. You can't make this stuff up
"Just like us." Does that mean they all inherited billions and then stole more?
