    Occupy DC: Corporate-funded, corporate-controlled, corporate-aimed.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  November 8th at 12:00 PM  | 

    This ABC News article is correct enough, as it goes: On the surface, the “Occupy the Koches: Guerilla Drive-In” event looked like any other “Occupy” movement protest against the proverbial 1 percent of the population who hold the nation’s wealth. But a confederation of long-established progressive political advocacy groups — the Campaign for America’s Future, Campaign for Community Change, Common Cause, Health Care for America | Read More »

    Today’s Bloomberg’s Two-Minute Hate: The Koch Brothers!

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  October 5th at 11:00 AM  | 

    To give you an idea of just how laughably bad this Bloomberg hit piece (short version: the Koch Brothers are icky small-government people who have this big corporation that doesn’t give money to causes that the authors like is a evil lobbying corporation and here’s a list of bad things that they’ve done, including selling stuff to IranIranIranIRANIRANIRAN) was: not only did the notoriously neoconservative* | Read More »

    DSCC chair Patty Murray tries to get her some Koch campaign cash.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  July 7th at 09:30 PM  | 

    I can almost understand why DSCC chair Sen. Patty Murray would try to hit up the Koch Companies for ‘five figures’ (read: the maximum allowed by federal election campaign finance law).  First off, Sen. Murray is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer (she’d almost have to be, given that Murray actually left a voice message as well as sent a letter*).  Second, what’s | Read More »

    The Inevitable Koch Brothers Soviet Disco Madness! Open Thread.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  May 18th at 06:00 PM  | 

    Not much to say about this one, except: yup, this is exactly how all those duckspeakers freaking out over the Koch Brothers sound.  And look.  And act, except that the people in the video are at least happy. Tells you a lot of about 1970s-era Soviet society, huh?  Disco looked good to those poor people. Open thread. Moe Lane (crosspost) Moe Lane

    Politico: Conservatives are pro-cancer!

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  April 30th at 08:40 PM  | 

    Either that, or Politico hires some pretty sloppy writers.  Personally, I’m voting for the latter. The background: Politico decided to write an article that attempts to answer the eternal question, For just how long will George Soros keep throwing money down the rathole which is the Activist Left*? It’s an interesting question in its own right – the article suggests that Soros is getting pretty | Read More »

    The Left’s Common Cause: “Lynch Clarence Thomas!”

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  February 3rd at 11:00 AM  | 

    Normally, there would be a temptation to get into the guts of this Big Government video showing Lefty and Democratic protesters at an anti-Koch brothers rally.  For those who aren’t aware, the Koch brothers are the latest Two-Minute Hate object of choice among the netroots, who hate them for… giving money to conservative causes, apparently.  Actually, I’m being kind: the netroots hate because the alternative | Read More »
