Evil Koch Brothers Give $25 Million to United Negro College Fun

Reminder to the brothers:

No good deed goes unpunished.

  1. Name the person who is punishing them for donating this money.
  2. How do you punish someone with $40 Billion?


1. You - well, at least trying in a feeble, Democrat kind of way.

2. By smearing them with made-up bullshit as you do so prettily.

Of course it's meaningless punishment but so long as you believe it hurts them in any way then I'm sure you're cool with it.
 
On the surface, it appeared that a major New York hospital had gratefully accepted a $100 million gift from a philanthropic family with a long history of donating to the arts, higher learning and medicine.

But the new wing at New York-Presbyterian Hospital inspired a bizarre protest last weekend by activist groups including the NAACP New York State Conference, the New York State Nurses’ Association and the hospital-employee union SEIU Local 1199. ...

No, the only thing the liberal interest groups didn’t like about the new hospital wing was its funding source: the philanthropist known as David H. Koch. The new wing was gratefully to be named after Koch, who along with his brother Charles stands as one of today’s great philanthropists.

Among the many David Koch gifts to this city alone are a previous $15 million to New York-Presbyterian’s Weill Cornell Medical Center, $30 million to Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, $25 million to the Hospital for Special Surgery, $20 million to a dinosaur exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History, $65 million to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and $100 million to the Lincoln Center theater that is home to the New York City Ballet and the New York City Opera. ...

The anti-Koch groups held their protest on International Women’s Day to signify that this was a woman’s issue: It turns out a group called the Center to Protect Patient Rights, which also receives some Koch brothers largesse, has given $1 million to Susan B. Anthony’s List, a pro-life group. And the nurses who have made it their calling to protect human life? They don’t like that. ...

Billionaire's role in hiring decisions at Florida State University raises questions

A conservative billionaire who opposes government meddling in business has bought a rare commodity: the right to interfere in faculty hiring at a publicly funded university.

A foundation bankrolled by Libertarian businessman Charles G. Koch has pledged $1.5 million for positions in Florida State University's economics department. In return, his representatives get to screen and sign off on any hires for a new program promoting "political economy and free enterprise."


Traditionally, university donors have little official input into choosing the person who fills a chair they've funded. The power of university faculty and officials to choose professors without outside interference is considered a hallmark of academic freedom.



Under the agreement with the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, however, faculty only retain the illusion of control. The contract specifies that an advisory committee appointed by Koch decides which candidates should be considered. The foundation can also withdraw its funding if it's not happy with the faculty's choice or if the hires don't meet "objectives" set by Koch during annual evaluations.

Building a hospital is far, far different than establishing a university chair.

Grants to universities have been withdrawn by their benefactors due to the funds being used in a manner that was unintended by the grantee.

That's different than leftist ideologues who protest the politics of the benefactor, a benefactor who BTW is a libertarian who supports reproductive rights.

The Kochs are well known philanthropists. Shame on the leftists for injecting politics by elevating their narrow worldview over the well being of others.

oh my...those evil koch brothers

what will the lefties do now?

and?

donald sterling gave the NAACP a lot of money, too.

did that make him any less of a racist?

no.

does the koch brothers donation make their policies any less onerous?

no.

sorry, kiddo.

So do Sterling's parochial beliefs outweigh the hundreds of scholarships he has funded for black kids?

Contrast them.

Bad - One guy thinks blacks are *******

Good - Hundreds of black kids receive an education and go on to lead productive, prosperous lives, many of which may not have had the opportunity had the donation not been made.

Frankly, had I been a poor black kid in the ghetto with little prospects, and an old racist offered to fund my college education, no damn way would I have turned it down.

David Koch has been one of the main benefactors of the New York Opera for years.

So what? Because they donate to worthy causes means we should let them buy our democracy?

Another Yurt-FAIL. :lol:

Sure, as if Democrats outspending Republicans 10 to 1 in every election since 2008 wasn't enough.

It's that Right-Wing Media bubble - facts cannot permeate it.

What do you think you are comparing? You are counting all the money Romney spent while running against other Republicans and saying it is the same as all the money Obama spent while running against Romney. Talking about being a liar, look in a damn mirror.

And your not counting all the media bias from the Clinton News Network, PMSNBC, and other tv shows like Letterman and Oprah all promoting Obama. Plus the Hollywood movies pushing both Hillary and Obama while dishing Republicans.

You are very disingenuous.

So what? It's just a diversionary tactic to help take the heat off some of their bad press. AND, it's a tax write-off. They are still evil.
To you. Their beliefs do represent a portion of the country, just like the unions and Soros does or the Democratic Alliance. Don't hear any complaints from you about them.

Hello. TK? How about it?
 
The Dims hate this grant because the beneficiaries will have to learn something about capitalism. No wonder they are terrified!

RAGE At Koch Brothers $25M United Negro College Fund Gift | The Daily Caller



Now that the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) has accepted a $25 million donation from Charles and David Koch, at least one Ivy League professor is worried sick and a bunch of leftists have taken to Twitter to express their rage.

Marybeth Gasman, a higher education professor at the University of Pennsylvania claimed that the UNCF – a charitable organization dedicated to helping black people get college degrees – is “wrong” to accept this particular $25 million to help black people get college degrees, according to Inside Higher Ed.

Gasman bellowed that Koch organizations have been “deeply affiliated with the Tea Party.” She alleges that Tea Party leaders want to weaken the political interests of black Americans.

Inside Higher Ed suggests that the wrath about the $25 million gift arises because critics worry that the scholarships will favor students who share the largely conservative and libertarian principles of Charles and David Koch.

The plan for the $18.5 million UNCF/Koch Scholars Program is to provide tuition assistance to “exemplary students with demonstrated financial need and an interest in the study of how entrepreneurship, economics, and innovation contribute to well-being for individuals, communities, and society.”
 
link it.

so i guess you obviously don't mind that soros far outspent them previously.

two faced hack
Because they weren't directly contributing back then - because there were still disclosure rules back then. They want to control things anonymously. So they put their money into other things like 'think tanks'.

It was only after wingnuts decimated campaign finance rules that they saw they could contribute huge sums in a shell game.

At least Soros hasn't tried to hide his intentions. Liberals are generally more honorable than conservatives.

Liberals are more honorable? How come they never own up to their misdeeds? How come so many dead people vote for Liberals?
Bengazi, Fast and Furious, Irs picking on conservative groups, etc. When will we see Holders records of who knew what when?

How dare you forget that Obama is a Muslim and born in Kenya??? You did not follow your Fox News script and you won't go to Conservative heaven.

Now to repent for your sins, you must say seven hail Kochs and 3 hail rushes. ;)
