The widespread vilification of the Koch Brothers has always had a phoney-baloney feel to it. If you remember, the Kochs became a household word after a big, widely-publicized protest against them in Seattle... which came just days after Glenn Beck’s big expose of George Soros on his Fox show. It was like someone decided that the right-wing needed a Soros to balance out the script, so they picked the Kochs to play the evil arch-conservative supervillian (something they never were previous to that time) in the political reality-show.
It’s the same kind of phoney as the “war” between Zero and the Chamber of Commerce back in 2010. Which we now know was 100% fake due to the fact that the Chamber is wholly committed to advancing Zero’s three biggest, most destructive initiatives (health care, immigration, eduction).
These people are big on theatrics. And they’re liars to the core. It’s a safe bet that everything we think we know about them is part of a well-crafted illusion.
