Robert Reich Tells Republican Friend: "The Koch brothers are intent on stealing our democracy.”

[calimary]

18. This canard they try to shove at us all the time - whining and mewling about how unfair it is

that GEORGE SOROS is in there giving money to our side - Oh how awful! How awful!

Oh CRIPES!!!!

Okay, George Soros gives our side a paltry five mill. When he could plunk a whole lot more down because he has it. Okay fine.

The koch brothers on the other hand - spend many times that much on THEIR side. 180 times that much, if you do the math comparing 5 to 900. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TIMES THAT MUCH!!!!!!! So then, how is this somehow "equivalent"?

Please show me HOW 5 is somehow equal to 900. Help me understand how that's so. Show me (I'm from Missouri, okay? SHOW me!)! Get me any average third-grader outta their math class on any random weekday morning and have THEM show me that. SHOW ME HOW 5 IS EQUAL TO 900. I realize you are all going by kkkarl rove's "THE math." But his "THE math" DOES NOT ADD UP in the real world.

This is another one of those lovely false equivalencies that the GOP has embroidered onto the proverbial whole cloth. It's like saying a brick is the exact same thing as a grain of aquarium gravel - just because both happen to be hard.
