Sen. Bernie Sanders Exposes the KOCH BROS.
Video a third of the way down ...

http://www.commondreams.org/further/2011/06/22-3



Keep in mind also --

The Rightwing Koch Bros. Funded the DLC --

http://www.democrats.com/node/7789

http://upload.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x498414


This occurred over a 20 year period while the Koch Bros DLC was harbored within

the Democratic Party, infiltrating the party and influencing it's agenda, its selection

of candidates and even its presidential candidates.

9. I could give you a reasonable guess of who it was, but
that would probably be breaking DU rules.

4. Koch ran for pres way back in the 80's. While doing it he figured out
where the real decisions are made. No need to run for office anymore, you just put money in the right places.

31. Congress members are agents for the wealthy. Nothing more. Some throw us crumbs but
Edited on Thu Jun-23-11 11:24 AM by valerief
only if the wealthy benefit. Bernie Sanders, though, is a big crumb tosser. He's the guy that will feed the pigeons in the park every day, because he cares about the pigeons. However, his main job isn't as pigeonkeeper. He's also an agent for the wealthy. No one is perfect. That said, I still wish every member of Congress was like Bernie Sanders.

14. Koch Bros. FUNDED the DLC ......
When Clinton won the nomination, he knew that the unions didn't have enough

money to fund the kind of campaign he wanted to run -- he brought in DLC

which was funded by the Koch Bros --


Do you recall any Democrats ever mentioning that they were harboring the

Koch Bros DLC organization within the party?

Needless to say, this was infiltration of the party --

influence over the party --


The Rightwing Koch Bros. Funded the DLC --

32. Thank you --
Sad to say that this info has been available here at DU via other posters

and kept getting buried -- back to 2006, at least -- or earlier --

8. brilliant. see if talk shows pick it up and discuss it as an important bit of
knowledge that should be discussed!!

If not, moveon or others should pay for a commercial run in prime time. What could be more important?

10. I guess the Kochroach brothers deserve to win
they sure outsmarted our side, we were left in the dust. Working on this for at least 20 years :wow: the rest of us went on with our lives but that was THEIR LIFE. The progressives need to come up with at least a 10-20 year plan. Of course it would be too late for some of us but until our side has a long range plan we will be defeated again and again and again. :-(

You can't post the Koch Brothers' DLC connection information enough, imho. People need to see WHY we're faced with the major political party's same non-choices each election cycle.

Thank you, Bernie!
As mentioned above, this cannot be talked about enough. This is essential infirmation to understand how the Democratic Party got to it's current incarnation.
