WATCH: Harry Reid Goes Off on MSNBC for Being Nice to the Koch Brothers.
Fortunately, as a wise community organizer would say, MSNBC Joe Scarborough gets in Reid’s (mysteriously disfigured) face and punches back twice as hard: Scarborough to Reid: You’re right — you’re a much better Joe McCarthy than me.
As Reason’s Nick Gillespie wrote in early 2011, “If you’re interested in complicating dumb media narratives and blowing the minds of some of your leftard friends, here’s a spirited posting at Reddit by someone with the handle epistemicfail:”
The KOCH brothers must be stopped. They gave $40K to Scott Walker, the MAX allowed by state law. That’s small potatoes compared to the $100+ million they give to other organizations. These organizations will terrify you. If the anti-union thing weren’t enough, here are bigger and better reasons to stop the evil Kochs. They are trying to:
- decriminalize drugs,
- legalize gay marriage,
- repeal the Patriot Act,
- end the police state,
- cut defense spending.
Who hates the police? Only the criminals using drugs, amirite? We need the Patriot Act to allow government to go through our emails and tap our phones to catch people who smoke marijuana and put them in prison. Oh, it’s also good for terrorists.
Wikipedia shows Koch Family Foundations supporting causes like:
- CATO Institute
- Reason Foundation
- cancer research
- ballet (because seriously: F***. THAT. S***.) …
If there’s one thing I know about billionaires, it’s that they only care about money. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and George Soros. They aren’t fooling me. Bill Gates isn’t fooling me with his vaccination campaign in Africa. He’s just trying to make African children live longer so they will buy more copies of Windows. Wow. Not even trying to hide it.
Now, I don’t know why the KOCH brothers want gay people to have the right to marry. Everybody knows marriage is for a man and a woman. Even Obama said that. Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve amirite? I haven’t figured out the angle. Maybe it’s like this:
- legalize drugs
- legalize gay marriage
- sell drugs and oil to gays
- ????
- PROFIT$$$
I don’t know exactly how it would work, but we can all agree that they’re evil.
If only a hidebound reactionary like Harry Reid shared as Progressive a worldview as the Koch brothers, the world would be a much better place.
