“Mr. President, these two brothers are trying to buy America. They not only funnel money through their Americans for Prosperity, they funnel money into all kinds of organizations to do the same thing that they’re doing. They’re trying to buy America. I don’t believe america is for sale. We’ll see, Mr. President.”
Evil’ Koch Brothers Rank #59 in Political Donations Behind 18 Different Unions
Recently I got into an online argument with a flaming liberal. I thought I was finally rid of him when he came back to our message board debate to post a link to a 2012 mother jones article on the koch brothers and how much they were spending on the political process. In turn I posted the above gateway pundit link. I thought I had the last word. But a week later he comes back to tell me that its all propaganda. That list is phony. That the list doesn’t include all their shadowy money, etc. And the koch brothers are number one in political spending.
Sigh. Liberals. What are you going to do?
If it's so "shadowy," how does he know about it? Notice the left loves to accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of? Who got more "shadowy" money than Barack Obama? Besides, if we factor "shadowy" money into the rankings, then chances are most Democratic donors will leap well ahead of the Koch Bros. on that list.
