In Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid’s febrile mind, Charles and David Koch are twin volcanoes. They mercilessly belch hot, noxious gases into Earth’s feeble atmosphere. Maybe the evil Koch brothers can’t help it. More likely, though, they pollute heavily — just for laughs.
“Charles and David Koch are waging a war against anything that protects the environment,” Reid bellowed on the Senate floor last May. “While the Koch brothers admit to not being experts on the matter, these billionaire oil tycoons are certainly experts at contributing to climate change. That’s what they do very well. They are one of the main causes of this. Not a cause, one of the main causes.”
Reid’s spokesman, Adam Jentleson, doubled down on his boss’s single-minded disdain for the Koch brothers. As Jentleson told the Washington Post: “The Koch brothers have been very clear that they want free rein to pollute as much as they want and emit as much carbon into our atmosphere as they want while the rest of us suffer the consequences.”
The Post, as luck would have it, gave Nevada’s Reid three out of four Pinocchios for his manifest mendacity.
Thus, Reid and other Kochophobic liberal Democrats will be shocked to learn that, since January 2009, the wicked Koch brothers’ companies have won 792 awards for environmental quality, operational safety, community service, and philanthropy. The Kochs donate hundreds of millions of dollars for — among other things — cancer research, the fine arts, and libertarian groups, such as the Cato Institute and the Institute for Humane Studies, with which I have collaborated for decades.
Even more amazing, a racist, far-right cabal known as the Obama administration has bestowed dozens of these awards upon enterprises controlled by the “un-American” Koch brothers, as Reid so graciously described them.
