"Rachel Maddow: Koch Brothers 'Pop Up In Every Scummy Political Scandal'
The Kochs are everywhere, says Maddow, chronicling the brothers' recent efforts to push the conservative agenda.
March 8, 2011 |
Monday, Think Progress released a video that showed Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown slavishly fawning over David Koch and begging him for money. "Your support during the election, it meant a ton. It made a difference and I can certainly use it again," said Brown on the tape.
Brown's gross display of subservience is only the latest reminder of the right-wing billionaire brothers' shockingly outsized influence on our politics. Over the past year, progressive journalists, including AlterNet's Adele Stan , have documented the Koch brothers' role in promoting the conservative agenda, from helping fund the Tea Party movement to supporting Gov. Walker's union-busting efforts in Wisconsin. Thanks to a prank in which blogger Ian Murphy posed as David Koch in a phone call to Governor Walker, the Koch brothers have become more visible than ever. Signs calling Walker a "Koch-conspirator" and, more bluntly, a "Koch-whore" have proliferated at pro-labor rallies in Wisconsin and throughout the country.
(In a comically tone-deaf response in a NY Times interview, David Koch lamented that the prank may have hindered his ability to get immediate access to any politician he wants to in the future:"
"Maddow: Already banging away. Think Progress posted that clip of Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown my senator telling the real David Koch how important that Koch brothers money was to him, and how he could really, really, really, use some more, please. And the Koch brothers have in fact been very good to Scott Brown. In November 2009 when Scott Browns race was really the only impending Republican Senate race, David Koch gave just over $30,000 to the Republican Party Senate Campaign Committee, the NRSC. The brothers' Koch industries PAC gave the committee another $15,000 at that time, and they gave Mr. Browns campaign $5,000 directly. The Koch Industries PAC has also given tens of thousands of dollars to another Republican Scott -- this guy, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, which is probably why impersonating David Koch was able to get Governor Walker on the phone last month for 20 minutes in the middle of what was supposedly a very engrossing state budget crisis."http://www.alternet.org/story/150167/rachel_maddow:_koch_brothers_'pop_up_in_every_scummy_political_scandal'?page=2

It is absolutely outrageous that after the millions spent of endless campaigning, and with control of the end result going to the highest bidder, essentially, that any American can still believe this is a democracy. The SCOTUS has been bought & paid for, and the machines are not secure. Let's call our country the Citizens United states, one plutocracy under God & to the corporations for which they stand.
To have any doubts at this point is to believe in the tooth fairy.
Welcome to the age of entertainment, via the (s)elections, who wants to be an American pResident?

(10,494 posts)he has been the expert testifying in the Ohio 2004 vote machine election rigging. You may recall Republicans already rigged Ohio in 2004 and it was tracked to a company in Tn. The Bush/Rove IT guy died a couple of days before he was to give his deposition. Presumably, he was to testify his part in the crime and link the Bush Whitehouse and you know who. If they are willing to spend a billion dollars to get Rmoney elected, and do the following: voter ID laws; voter purges; voter intimidation employer/employee threats; racial pandering; voter registration fraud; fake polling... Don't think think they don't plan to fix the votes! As Samuel L. Jackson says, WAKE THE FUCK UP!

(10,494 posts)of Rush Limberger, who I would still put 2nd to Rove! I believe it is within that morally bankrupt Mr. Potatoe Head to have had the IT guy killed! He had Gov. Don Seigleman wrongfully convicted and imprisoned and would do anything for power and money. I think he derives pleasure for causing other people pain, usually a sign of low self esteem. He feels the need to exercise power over others and cause them pain, to convince himself that he must not be that weak.
