Video: Koch Bros Take Their Wisconsin Victory Lap

Americans For Prosperity, the conservative organizing organization funded by the Koch brothers, took a victory lap late Tuesday night after Gov. Scott Walker (R) won the recall battle in Wisconsin. AFP and other conservative groups pumped millions into the recall fight, vastly outspending Democrats and their allies and leading to criticism from Democratic supporters after Walker won. Conservatives cast Walker as a national hero of their movement and videos like this one are part of the effort by conservative groups to claim part of the credit for winning what the right sees as a key victory ahead of the national elections in November.

This is what buying an election looks like.

1. HOLY FUCKING SHIT - How does this not violate election laws?

How much more clear can it be that this was - pure and simple - about campaigning in an election race for Scott Walker???

It's right there in the damn video!

And I really can't say fuck that lily-white bunch at 0:57??? I noticed they threw in one paid non-white in the video, you know, for diversity.

I can damn well tell you that organizing efforts on our side look like a TRUE AMERICAN TAPESTRY, not like these roll back the clockers.

And I can't say fuck you conservative majority on the Court? Mighty fine distinction you've managed to draw here, idiots!

This is what the death of democracy looks like.

3. Holder is going to tear them a new one.

I can feel it in my bones.

[JHB]

5. I'm a little more like a farmer predicting the weather on that...

...I'll feel it in my bones about 10 years after people get put behind bars... if they're still behind them at that time.

7. Oh? Didn't know the Koch brothers sold pot. n/t

[Dr Fate]

2. Paid for with Bush Tax cut extensions?

Darn it! Those Koch brothers fooled us again. They were 'sposed to create jobs with that!

[ProSense]

4. Yeah,

"Paid for with Bush Tax cut extensions?"

...no doubt this is the reason the fuckwad is still Governor.

I hate cheap and irrelevant sarcasm.

6. When elections are bought,

freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

8. I give up

I am tired.
I am demoralized.
I am fed up.
I am so glad I am as old as I am because the way things are going this world will be a wholly corporate-owned hell hole but I will be too old to notice, or hopefully dead.

I hope this feeling passes, but right now I just don't see any hope anywhere. How does one fight this kind of evil?

I think I will just go and hang out with my cats.
