The Koch Brothers -- more info

[JDPriestly]

Here is the website of the two guys (Yasha Levine is the author of the article linked below) who originally discovered the facts about the Koch Brothers.

Interesting. How reliable? I don't know. These two men appeared on the Dylan Ratigan Show. There are other threads on this.

I am posting this link separately in order to draw attention to the website telling a full story.

3. This excerpt from your link sounds like all the Republicans

6. What i don't get

Is why these guys have also given to democrats/organizations. What's the connection or motivation?

8. DLC. That is part of destroying any really liberal movement.

I don't want to mention any names, but we have a number of DLC-types in high places. Not all of them received Koch money, but I'll bet you a fair number of the "moderates" take it.

7. when I found out they had direct ties to Nazis, probably still using Nazi money

that is when I started freaking out.
