Why Do You Believe the Koch Brothers?

[Howey]

It's a fair question. They've got their grubby little hands in every aspect of American business, politics, and life. Riding on the coattails of Citizens United, their PAC, Americans For Prosperity, spent $45 million dollars on the 2012 elections - supporting Tea Party candidates and producing a slew of commercials.

Their influence, therefore, is wide. But is it honest?

PolitiFact recently took a look at the claims made by the Kochs in their most recent ads. The best they could get was two "Half True's". The rest? Scary.

At PolitiFact, we’ve tracked various ads from Americans for Prosperity since the 2010 midterms. With the renewed focus on the organization and its financial backers, we decided to review the group’s history on our Truth-O-Meter and explore more recent trends of their ad messaging leading up to the 2014 elections.

While Americans for Prosperity has weighed in on a variety of issues throughout the years, its most frequent targets are President Barack Obama’s health care law and environmental and energy regulations. Considering the Koch brothers’ holdings and stated positions, that’s no surprise. The organization often cuts an ad and tweaks it slightly so it can run in multiple districts or states.

In 13 fact checks, Americans for Prosperity has never received higher than a Half True from the PolitiFact national team. The majority of their claims have registered as False or Mostly False. (A state chapter of the group did receive a Mostly True for a claim about Georgia’s civil forfeiture laws.)

And...it's getting worse, not better.

Why do you fucking stupid turds never ask questions like this about George Soros?

Enough said.

Because Soros doesn't have a multimillion dollar PAC that spreads disinformation and lies like AFP.

His total contributions since 1979 are around 8 million dollars. The Koch's spend that each election cycle.

PolitiFact Bias


It's a hack site.

site a reliable source then ask

Was it a hack site when it awarded the lie of the year to Obama?

Yes. It was trying to look credible. If they had said it was true, they would have been laughed off the internet.

What the FUCK?

Well, you had no credibility anyway....

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Not incredibly, we've seen many of these talking points parrotted on this forum multiple times.

Which begs the question:

Why does the right wing believe these two goons, their ads, and the candidates they support?

The Tea Party runs on a platform of limited government, they are the only party that doesn't ASK for money from the government. The Republicans and Democrats want bigger government whether it be in the form of defense contracts or doubling the size the E.P.A.

People in government are out for power, pure and simple.

I don't have anyone I really admire in government, the person closest to my ideal may be Ron Paul, he doesn't admit lobbyists to his office.

Ron Paul is a typical politician. He'll say one thing and do another.

I'll give you an example:

He claims and rightly so that he has never voted for bill that contained pork. But what he doesn't mention is that he slips in his own pork on bills he knows will pass without his support. So he'll inject a bill, vote no on the bill and the bill still passes, he brings the pork back to Texas.

What this country needs is term limits, no more career politicians. You serve your country then go back home and resume the career you had.

According to Open Secrets, Soros has spent almost 13 million since 1998. That does not include his other liberal activities, such as Media Matters and other liberal voices.

Of all the dimwits on this forum who would fall for the Koch's bullshit, I'm not surprised you are one of them.

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/winter/10-myths

The myth that the Nazis condoned homosexuality sprang up in the 1930s, started by socialist opponents of the Nazis as a slander against Nazi leaders. Credible historians believe that only one of the half-dozen leaders in Hitler's inner circle, Ernst Röhm, was gay. (Röhm was murdered on Hitler's orders in 1934.) The Nazis considered homosexuality one aspect of the "degeneracy" they were trying to eradicate.

When the National Socialist Party came to power in 1933, it quickly strengthened Germany's existing penalties against homosexuality. Heinrich Himmler, Hitler's security chief, announced that homosexuality was to be "eliminated" in Germany, along with miscegenation among the races. Historians estimate that between 50,000 and 100,000 men were arrested for homosexuality (or suspicion of it) under the Nazi regime. These men were routinely sent to concentration camps and many thousands died there.

In 1942, the Nazis instituted the death penalty for gay men. Offenders in the German military were routinely shot. Himmler put it like this: "We must exterminate these people root and branch. ... We can't permit such danger to the country; the homosexual must be completely eliminated."

As far as Soros, I've already debunked that. And do you really think that a 13 year old would be "IN CHARGE OF CONFISCATING THE LAND OF THE JEWS IN HUNGARY"?

Look. Soros' father arranged to give him a new identity as a Christian. He had to in order to save his life. There were millions of Jews in Poland and Germany at the time, rich and poor, who weren't so lucky.

Thank God I don't let morons like you on my forum.

yep, the Kochs & Rove made up a lot of the dark money spent on those *cough* "social interest" (AKA- "front") groups. The conservative puppetmasters are spending like crazy to get people who will vote for business interests over the people's interests. Kind of like ALEC.

Why does the radical left encourage nut cases like the Kansas shooter to murder Jews? He told the world he did it because a Media Matters blog suggested that Jews are trying to buy the US political system.

yep, the Kochs & Rove made up a lot of the dark money spent on those *cough* "social interest" (AKA- "front") groups. The conservative puppetmasters are spending like crazy to get people who will vote for business interests over the people's interests. Kind of like ALEC.

I Love dupes like you. You want the govt to controll your life, but you worried about businesses, why?

the gov't doesn't have to lower environmental standards or worker rights to make an extra buck. Glad to help.

Where in the Constitution does it require the government to invoke more rights for one kind of workers than others and impose rapacious environmental standards. Pray, do tell.
