Ablogination

We all know that the Teabaggers…Tea Party…whatever you want to call them, are nothing but corporate AstroTurf. But just saying that they get their money from “corporations” is far too vague to be credible.

No problem, the exact source of funding is no longer a secret….

The Koch Brothers.
They are among the richest 2%. Modern day Robber Barons who’s daddy gave them a fortune they otherwise never would have obtained.
I have always said that Libertarians are just Republicans without the sexual perversion. Now I’m convinced I’m right.
Two new members of the Radical Right have ascended to a level of treason previously occupied by only the Bush Administration and the Jonathan Pollards of the world.
They are David and Charles Koch. The source of Tea Party funding…

David H. Koch is a traitor. A spoiled, impetuous, narcissistic Billionaire daddy’s-boy who paid a hundred million dollars to modernize Lincoln Center’s New York State Theater building in order to have it named after him.
This egomaniac even paid twenty million to the American Museum of Natural History to name a Dinosaur exhibit after him.

Odd, even after all that wealth Koch, age 71, still fears being forgotten when he croaks.
Sad. Not to worry, Mr. Koch. You will always be remembered for your support of hatred, racism and treason. That much I assure you.

The Brothers Koch

Koch Industries/Georgia Pacific are glad to tell you about all the things they do and all the products they produce at their website, but one thing they just don’t mention there is that they are the largest funding source for extreme Right-Wing groups in this nation. One of which is the Teabaggers.

All the slander and bold-faced lies that are directed at President Obama originate at Koch. That is what makes them traitors both to country and people. Happily, they, through the Teabaggers, are losing. But their power is not to be taken lightly nor are their anti-American intentions.

The New Yorker has the rest. Read and understand what we’re dealing with…

The Kochs operate oil refineries in Alaska, Texas, and Minnesota, and control some four thousand miles of pipeline. Koch Industries owns Brawny paper towels, Dixie cups, Georgia-Pacific lumber, Stainmaster carpet, and Lycra, among other products. Forbes ranks it as the second-largest private company in the country, after Cargill, and its consistent profitability has made David and Charles Koch—who, years ago, bought out two other brothers—among the richest men in America. Their combined fortune of thirty-five billion dollars is exceeded only by those of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation.
These views dovetail with the brothers’ corporate interests. In a study released this spring, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States. And Greenpeace issued a report identifying the company as a “kingpin of climate science denial.” The report showed that, from 2005 to 2008, the Kochs vastly outdid ExxonMobil in giving money to organizations fighting legislation related to climate change, underwriting a huge network of foundations, think tanks, and political front groups. Indeed, the brothers have funded opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies—from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program—that, in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus.
