Here's a brief introduction:
The wealth of the Brothers COMBINED is more than Bill Gates' or Warren Buffet's.... Here's a liberal ad showing it:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) on Wednesday criticized a Koch Industries subsidiary for allegedly circumventing sanctions on Iran even though Reid has accepted tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from companies that have done exactly that.
Reid also claimed that the Kochs support the recently introduced House Republican budget proposal. Neither the company nor its owners has taken a position on the legislation.
Reid’s claims were part of an ongoing offensive against libertarian philanthropists Charles and David Koch. Reid has accused them of being “un-American” for donating to groups that oppose the Democratic Party’s agenda.
A page on Reid’s Senate website is devoted entirely to attacking the Kochs. It initially cited former White House economist Austan Goolsbee, who falsely claimed in 2010 that Koch Industries does not pay any corporate taxes.
That claim remains on the website, with its text crossed out. Below is an “update” that claims the Kochs “have supported the Ryan budget, which provides tax cuts for the wealthy and protects taxpayer subsidies for big businesses and oil companies.”
The page links to a website from a left-wing nonprofit on the budget introduced by Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) this week, on which the Kochs have not taken a position.
Reid’s website goes on to quote from a heavily criticized Bloomberg article that accused Koch Industries of “sidestep[ping]” economic sanctions against Iran.
“The Kochs made improper payments to win contracts in Africa, India and the Middle East,” Reid claims. “And they sold millions of dollars of equipment to Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism.”
After evidence of the said improper payments came to light, Koch Industries commissioned an internal investigation and fired the responsible employees, according to Bloomberg.
Reid has accepted campaign contributions from companies that engage in even more widespread corruption abroad.
According to the Washington Examiner, Reid has accepted more than half a million dollars in contributions since 2009 from employees and political action committees of companies under investigation for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Reid has also taken tens of thousands of dollars from companies that, like Koch, have done business in Iran through foreign subsidiaries, including General Electric ($25,500 in PAC contributions), Hewlett-Packard ($14,500 in PAC contributions), and Sony ($14,500 in PAC contributions).
Reid has also taken $26,000 from Boeing’s PAC. The company is currently trying to reestablish its presence in Iran even though the country remains on the State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Plenty of room.
The EXEMPT have made themselves also EXEMPT from
libel and slander.
The EXEMPT are truly our Masters
with an earned Doctorate of Fraud.
Harry Reid is obsessed with Koch, pass it on...
They must really have nothing when they start attacking private individuals
Reid is such a liar. The media should be ashamed for not calling out this bas****
And demanding his resignation. He’s a national disgrace.
Dafuq is wrong with this guy?
Someone with photoshop skills really needs to gen up a picture of Kirk from Wrath of Kahn but screaming “KOOOOOCH!!!!! (bros.)”
OH BOY I think Harry need to retired it is sad I think he suffer from Demetria or alzhemir disease
Seriously no joke Fellow Freeper
Maybe just me I feel sorry for Dirty Harry
I’m so ignorant of the Kochs, I didn’t even know to pronounce it ‘coke’ until a couple months ago.
But if they wanna spend their $ unseating RATS, that’s mighty fine by me.
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.) — Saul Alinski (Rules for Radicals)
Dirty Harry is not insane, though he might appear it, he is following the DNC party line.
Ads with a simple read down of the top 10 donors going to democrats ought to contradict the old sob. But the gop wouldn’t ant to offend their soul mate.
Sharron Angle made the comments during her radio show on April 3. She is a co-host of the radio show “Conservative Commandos” which broadcasts on WNJC 1360 AM in Philadelphia and is streamed live over the internet.

“...Maybe just me I feel sorry for Dirty Harry...”

It’s just you.
Sharon Angle, victim of countless attacks by Democrats since she lost to Dingy Harry in his last campaign, may be painted as “stupid,’ in the Democrats’ war on this woman. However, she is intelligent enough to question whether Reid is rapidly sinking into dementia. His tirades seem to confirm her suspicions.
Shake down sharptonreid.
I agree with her. Reid is a nutcase.
I feel anger and sorrow for the dimwhits in Nevada that reelected this doddering old fool
