Koch is It

If you had the slightest doubt about the nature of the connection between billionaires--specifically the Koch brothers--and the tea party/Rabid Right, or you thought that even if the Kochs were financing these folks, they weren't directly responsible for their inflammatory talking points: check out these few sentences that a New York Magazine reporter got out of fossil fuel and chemicals billionaire David Koch at a charity fundraiser.

After saying President Obama deserves "zero credit" for getting Osama bin Laden,  David Koch said this:  Obama is "a hardcore socialist," Koch told us, "and he’s marvelous at pretending to be something other than that, but that is what I believe he truly is, a hardcore socialist. He’s scary to me."

That's the Rabid Right mantra on President Obama: socialist, devious, scary. It is Koch.  And  Koch is It.
