So few even know who the Koch bros are. And yes, they are evil. I predict that men like those will bring the world to it's knees before they are finally defeated. It won't be pretty, nor will it be in my lifetime.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it one of the Koch brothers who bought Jackie Onassis's apartment, the one she had lived in since she moved to NYC a little after the assasination until her death.

I've no idea if one of the Koch brothers bought Jackie Onassis' apartment. I do know though that they are both buying our democracy.

They donate a lot to PBS.

mistah charley, say it aint so! I have to say I was so angry at NPR's finding a historian who defended Sarah Palin's Paul Revere story, that I don't even listen to it the same way. They had been my prime news source!

Indeed, David Koch is the brother who bought Jackie O's apartment on Fifth Avenue. He has given a lot of money to the Met and to MIT.

NPR? MIT? Jackie O's apartment? I had always imagined the Kochs as Walmart rubes. It's worse than I thought. What the hell is wrong with my generation? David Mamet is the new Republican spokesperson. . .

Laura, why they are so devoted to "right-wing passions"?? …because tax-cutting and de-regulating and off-shoring and getting rid of environmental laws puts more money in their pockets. It gives them more power to enjoy the finer things in life, including the power to distribute kingly largess. They're not rubes, they're regents.

Someone told me Koch funds stem-cell research when I was complaining about him. Lidia17 -- I agree: regents.

The corporate billionaire Koch brothers do give. It's called a public relations.

Wiki says $100M to right-wing causes. The two wiki pieces are a good read (K family; K industries).

The Kochs are the puppeteers behind many of the "Pro-business" factions such as anti-union and anti-regulatory PACs. Comments are closed.
