Another Koch Exposed!

The Koch brothers have been busy, busy, busy setting up organizations so that they can secretly funnel money to them for the purpose of lying about Obamacare and defeating any sort of legislation that deals with climate change.  

"The money and reach of this organization are completely unique in American politics. Filings show that the network backed by the Kochs and their donors outspent all other independent conservative groups in 2012, and it even matched the spending of the national coalition of labor unions.

The difference between the Kochs' network and the labor unions, however, is that labor unions aren't nearly this sneaky with the source of their political donations. 

According to an analysis of tax returns by the Post and the Center for Responsive Politics, the 17 conservative groups you see above have pretty deep pockets. In 2012, they raised at least $407 million and funneled it to conservative campaigns across the nation.

 
This surpasses even Karl Rove's super PAC, American Crossroads, which raised a comparatively paltry $325 million. Because the donors are unknown, it's unclear how much money comes directly from the pockets of the Koch brothers and how much comes from outside sources. But we do know where it is going.  

Most of the money flows through two non-profits that essentially function as banks that feed the money to other conservative organizations. The biggest of these faux banks is the Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, which brought in nearly $256 million in its first year alone according to WaPo. 

Because Freedom Partners is structured as a business league, the majority of that money came from "dues" paid by its 200-ish members, and these members only have to disclose their affiliation if they feel like it. Freedom Partners and TC4 Trust — a similar organization that is now defunct — funneled most of their funds to national conservative organizations." 

Here's another one of their anti-Obamacare propaganda scares exposed as a lie:



"Americans for Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group backed by the Koch brothers, is running Obamacare attack ads featuring a cancer patient who claimed her treatments were 'unaffordable' under the new health law. 

On Monday, The Detroit News reported that the patient will actually save more than $1,000 a year.  

Julie Boonstra says in the anti-Obamacare ad that she was diagnosed with leukemia five years ago, and her health care plan was canceled when Obamacare went into effect. 

 'Now, the out-of-pocket costs are so high, it's unaffordable,' she said."

Shameless lie brought to us by the Kochs.

And then we have the half-wit, half-governor saying:

 'Yes We Can' Has Become 'No You Can't' Thanks To Obamacare'

Because that's what the squirrels in her head told her.

Best comment on Palin's clown act at CPAC:

"...to understand what she is saying all you need to do is throw in a series random hate thoughts, mix them with a strong dash of vinegar laced cluelessness, a soupcon of junior high mean girl attitude, some finely shredded 15 year old girl word salad, stir and allow it to fester and decay into an indigestible hot mess of ignorance laced with bigotry. 

She thinks she’s the life of the party as the standup comedian where ever she is paid to screech, while most people around the world who are aware of her existence, see her as the punch line for every joke that starts with what’s wrong with America, be it the stupidity of people held up as leaders on the right or the more ridiculous level of stupidity shown by people who support and pretend to be able to decipher the juvenile gibberish she speaks in."
