So those on the right are passing around this graphic as fact:
Just a few major problems. First- the Koch brothers have only become a major force since the “Citizens United” decision.
Second-and more importantly the chart shows donations by Koch industries- and their employees. NOT the donations of the Koch Brothers themselves.
The Koch Brothers, who have spent more then the $12 million shown in the Scott Walker recall election in Wisconsin alone.
They are currently estimated to be spending over $400 in this election to defeat Obama and place republicans in congress.
Again, we see the right creating their narrative- with lies and “facts” that are anything but. And counting on their followers to be too stupid, or too indifferent to bother checking the actual facts.
Reblogged this on The Last Of The Millenniums and commented:
Well the Republicans aren’t going to let fact checkers determine their ads either!
are you a paid troll by the Koch Brothers or just a stupid, ignorant, piece of lying trash
Ummm- did you actually read the post? And more imprtantly understand? Because this post in no way supportive of the Koch brothers- quite the opposite.
But of course- this seems illustrative of the problem in politics today- too many people on both sides not paying attention, not listening, so entrenched in their ideas, and unwilling/unable to hold any real conversation. Nope- just call names at any real or perceived dissent from their worldview…
