“Pay no attention to that Soros behind the curtain!!”

[Armaggedon]

The dark Lord George Soros turns the wheels of the Marxist revolution. Nothing stops this spooky dude.

[Jim Robinson]

Monbiot, idiot extraordinaire.

[Marty62]

He calls himself a writer? He used evey jingoistic slime he could find in the Dummies playbook.

Pathetic.

Ah, the Guardian never disappoints to disappoint. I’m pleased to see the hard left fully decloak and openly speak its hatred to that “democracy” thing.

The left sees conspiracies in everything it doesn’t like- Except its own very real conspiracy against liberty.

The Tea Party is the most encouraging thing I’ve seen in my life.

“The Kochs have lavished money on more than 30 other advocacy groups, including the Heritage Foundation, the Manhattan Institute, the George C Marshall Institute, the Reason Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute. These bodies have been instrumental in turning politicians away from environmental laws, social spending, taxing the rich and distributing wealth. They have shaped the widespread demand for small government. The Kochs ensure that their money works for them. “If we're going to give a lot of money,’ David Koch explained to a libertarian journalist, ‘we'll make darn sure they spend it in a way that goes along with our intent. And if they make a wrong turn and start doing things we don't agree with, we withdraw funding.’”

Gosh, he writes as though he thinks this is somehow a bad thing. Seems reasonable to me. That's kind’ve the way we've always done it. And I've always thought highly of The Heritage Foundation not to mention the smaller government idea. Hm...m...odd. I guess it's only a good thing if you say it for Tides Foundation and big government. (Slaps forehead) By George! That's it! It's only a good thing if it's for your side. Geez — so simple.

[Incorrigible]

Where’s my check? Don’t we get paid for being patriots?

[CPT Clay]

Anybody got the Koch brothers phone #? I haven’t been paid.

[TexasPatriot1]

...one of the biggest exercises in false consciousness...

Thought that was the green party?

[a fool in paradise]

As if George Soros, billionaire’s, ties to MoveOn.org meant nothing.

Tell the limey to pay attention . Europe is in the beginning to collapse . This fool has more than the tea party to worry about .

The Guardian is concerned about "genuine" support for rallies in the streets in America?

Then maybe they could spend a few dinar to find out who's funding the Islamic terrorists in their midst in jolly old England.

"... the mega-rich Koch brothers have duped millions into supporting big business."

What has big business ever done for us little people besides CREATING GOOD PAYING JOBS!!!

Morons Moonbats!

I was just thinking how lucky conservatives are if it is true that the Koch brothers are funding these resources. Some framework/organization is what conservatives needed. It’s for sure they were never going to get it from the Republican Party. These guys are the Miracle Gro for the grass roots.

Monbiot wouldn’t know Astroturf if it bit him on the ass. I suppose dozens of SEIU and Acorn sponsored buses bringing Paid Protesters to “protests” against whatever Bammy doesn’t like, isn’t covered under his Astroturf definition.

[Robbin]

I want to see his article on NOV 3rd…. Right after all the Astroturf VOTES…..
