According to Democrats, this is the face of evil......
It's clear that the left is attacking the Koch Brothers not because they're evil, but because they have $18 million dollars to conservative candidates. They didn't even give all that much, but they gave it openly, not hiding their donations like Liberal donors do. Isn't this just the powers that be, meaning liberals in Washington, threatening anyone who even thinks of giving to a conservative candidate?
The threat is simple; Give generously to our opposition and you can expect to be trashed, your life ruined in the process.
The Koch Brothers aren't even Republicans. They're Libertarians. That doesn't stop Democrats and liberals on this site from using stories supplied by ThinkProgress and Media Matters to trash their reputation. Anyone who tries to get involved and attempt to stop the corruption in Washington can expect the same.
Media Matters Collaborated With Obama White House and News
Harry Reid without a shred of proof used the Senate floor to trash them, lumping them in with all of the horror stories that surfaced once the ACA kicked in. Just about everyone knows someone or has heard of someone who has lost their health insurance because of the new ACA regulations. Roughly 6 million people lost their insurance and more are still losing it. Anyone who has purchased their own insurance has already gotten their cancellation letter. Harry Reid claims this was all a lie perpetrated by the Koch Brothers, like that explains why so many people have been finding out they are no longer insured.
Now the NYTimes has decided on a new approach:
After months of wincing in the face of negative ads funded by the industrialists David and Charles Koch, Democrats believe they have finally found a way to fight back: attacking the brothers sprawling business conglomerate as callous and indifferent to the lives of ordinary people while pursuing profit and power.
By drawing public attention to layoffs by subsidiaries of Koch Industries across the country -- a chemical plant in North Carolina, an oil refinery in Alaska, a lumber operation in Arkansas -- Democrats are seeking to make villains of the reclusive billionaires, whose political organizations have spent more than $30 million on ads so far to help Republicans win control of the Senate.
The approach should seem familiar. President Obama and his allies ran against Mitt Romney in 2012 by painting a dark picture of Bain Capital, the firm Mr. Romney founded, as a company that cut jobs and prized the bottom line over the well-being of its employees.
Senator Mark Begich, Democrat of Alaska, has called out the Kochs -- whose combined net worth is estimated to be $100 billion -- in his latest ads. In one, which features a picture of the brothers grinning, one of them wearing a tuxedo, Alaskans look directly into the camera and unload. They come into our town, buy our refinery, says one. Just running it into the ground, says another. A lot of Alaskans are losing jobs, and Im definitely concerned about the drinking water, says a young woman holding a baby.

How much of this is true? Are we seeing a repeat of the kind of BS they pulled on Mitt Romney? When will somebody claim the Koch Brothers killed their wife? I figure the closer we get to the election the worse it will get.
