Looking for a good link... or ten

[Tesha]

A libertarian yesterday said that the Koch brothers just put their money toward issues
they believe in. Everyone who heard his statement laughed themselves sick... but
since we didn't have any proof with us the issue went no further.

So what I'm looking for is a website or current articles on just what they actually fund.
And what those groups fund, and what those groups fund, and on and on...


TIA

1. Check out the New Yorker

They published a very good story on the Kochs last year.

5. excellent list...

A nice printable list I can take to protests like yesterday - and hand it over to the gullible, ignorant, arrogant, uninformed...

maybe I can enhance it with a few images and have a nice little handout.


Thanks for the great link!

9. The third one is my fave. ....

...hope you took it lightly, as intended.

As for the first two, I just googled "koch evil"... there's lots of hits

10. You made a good point...

and I appreciated it - because evil is the best search word to use.

They make me think of Mr. Potter in Its a Wonderful Life - if George Bailey had never been born

NH is becoming Pottersville :grr:

is this the one that upset the poor dears so?

No wonder!
But it makes you wonder if there's more.

11. Yes, I believe this article was the first to expose their slimy lives.

They were NOT happy about this, as I understand.
