In 1st Statement Since "Prank" Call, Defiant Koch Bros Vow to 'Continue the Fight' in Wisconsin

[Fuzz]

In their first published remarks since a prank caller tricked Gov. Scott Walker into thinking he was speaking with big-bucks backer David Koch himself, Koch executives said that that hoax and nearly two weeks of Madison protests have only strengthened the Koch brothers' determination to continue to use their billions to promote a national agenda that includes gutting the power of unions and deregulating industry.

Their statements in a Thursday night story by Robert Costa of the National Review Online, itself a bastion of conservatism, were defiant.

"With the Left trying to intimidate the Koch brothers to back off of their support for freedom and signaling to others that this is what happens if you oppose the administration and its allies, we have no choice but to continue to fight," says Richard Fink, the executive vice president of Koch Industries. "We will not step back at all."

1. Famous last words...

See you in the unemployment line, jinky!

[arbusto_baboso]

2. Arbusto to Koch Brothers: Bring it, Fuckos.

You've got a helluva lot more to lose than I do.

[PA Democrat]

3. Note the wording: "CONTINUE the fight" confirming what we all knew...

Scott Walker is their puppet. Walker is doing the work of the union-busting, climate-change-denying, polluting, universal-health-care-blocking Koch brothers.

5. But they're too damned cowardly to leave their names on their lobbyists doors in Madison.

What does that tell you?

[drm604]

4. This is becoming a fight about more than just collective bargaining rights.

It's also about not being subservient to assclowns who happened to win the birth lottery and think that somehow gives them the right to determine government policy regardless of the wishes of the rest of us.

[RKP5637]

7. They are trying to take over the US. They have decreed themselves kings and

want the rest of us as subjects. Money talks and has lots of power, the rest of us just talk.

[Kennah]

6. Bring a bat, Koch bitches

[RufusTFirefly]

8. Wait a minute. The Koch brothers say they "support freedom"?

And all this time I just thought they were greedy, power-hungry rich bastards with ice water in their veins.

Stop the presses. That changes everything!

Who knew?

:wtf:

[joanbarnes]

9. BOYCOTT

Boycott Koch Industry Products, because, they are not good enough to wipe our a***es with.

[Critters2]

10. Nice! Welcome to DU!

:hi:

11. Denial and Anger are BULLY TRAITS

GOPers Sucking the Energy outta the Middle Class...tent cites on the RISE

[Buddyblazon]

12. Seriously?

"With the Left trying to intimidate the Koch brothers to back off of their support for freedom..."

"Freedom"? If by freedom you mean shitting in a box, wrapping it up all nice, putting a bow on the top and handing it to the American workers and trying to convince them it has value...

then sure...you're supporting "freedom".
