Lynching The Koch Brothers: The Dems’ Strategy For 2014

The Left’s big gamble to distract from ObamaCare

By Arnold Ahlert (Bio and Archives) Wednesday, March 12, 2014

As George Orwell envisioned in “1984,” statists need an enemy to distract people from the failures of their corrosive ideology. In that seminal novel, the enemy was Emmanuel Goldstein, and a period of “Two Minutes Hate” was staged by the ruling party to keep the public sufficiently distracted.

Democrats and their media allies, well aware they too must keep the public distracted from their failed policies heading into the 2014 elections, have created two Emmanuel Goldsteins of their very own: billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.

screed published Monday by the New York Times editorial board sets the tone. “Democrats have for too long been passive in the face of the vast amounts of corporate money, most of it secret, that are being spent to evict them from office and dismantle their policies,” the paper breathlessly states. “By far the largest voice in many of this year’s political races, for example, has been that of the Koch brothers, who have spent tens of millions of dollars peddling phony stories about the impact of health care reform, all in order to put Republicans in control of the Senate after the November elections.”

As the Times reveals, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is leading the charge, noting that in a recent speech, Reid “pointed out that the fundamental purpose of the Kochs’ spending is to rig the economic system for their benefit and for that of other oligarchs.” The insinuation is obvious: it is the “evil rich” Koch brothers and their small cabal of equally evil and powerful allies against the rest of us. The paper further notes that the Democrat National Committee (DNC) has set up a website,www.kochaddiction.com, dedicated solely to promoting that proposition, and “to remind voters of just what the Kochs stand for, and why they raised $407 million in the 2012 election.”

After reading all that, one might be tempted to conclude that the Koch brothers are among the heaviest hitters in American politics. This, of course, is false. As the websiteOpenSecrets.org reveals, among the top all-time donors from the years 1989-2014, the Koch brothers come in at—wait for it—number 59. The same website further reveals that 6 of the top 10 political donors are unions, who overwhelmingly favor Democrats with their campaign contributions by margins of 91 precent or greater, compared to what they give Republicans.

  • Perhaps they have ulterior motives. The gang in malaysia that assisted them to pass the transactions they robbed from all the brokers worldwide by hacking into them and putting them on their servers to better rob them, it was time for assassination of the witnesses.

    What better way. They did not throw them off buildings, they did not bomb their twin towers, they did not kill them then say they committed suicide, no even better they made them disappear from planet earth.

    Maybe they have a hidden place on the moon with dead corpses.

    When will you rid us of the rats.

    TIME TO CALL THE EXTERMINATOR

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

    AND US BROKERS HAD ENOUGH OF NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE A LIVING BECAUSE THEY STEAL THE GOLD WE HAVE FOR SALE, THE DIAMONDS, BONDS, BANK GUARANTEES, MEDIUM TERM NOTES, THE ONES WE AVE FOR TRADES, THE CASH FOR TRADES, THE COMMODITY TRANSACTIONS AND ALL THAT WE KNOW TO WORK TO SUPPORT OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES.

    WE HAD ENOUGH, REALLY ENOUGH

    THIS WORLD HAS TURNED INTO DISGUSTING DARKNESS
