With One Speech Elizabeth Warren TERRIFIES The Koch Brothers and The Supreme Court



More at Segami's thread...

DLC = Koch Bros?!?


Pros and cons and LOTS of links at unionworks' thread:

Of course they also fund PBS. When you have those kinds of $s, you can afford to play both sides against each other. Who would have imagined that the eternal anti-establishmentarian Infowars was a Bircher front group, which was funded by the Koches?

Or the alleged indenpendent Tea Party claimed to be and still does claim it is, is a fully owned and operated subsidiary of the same cabal, under a dozen different names?.

I could go on, sure you know the story. Found this for you:

I can't find Warren's demand on disclosure, maybe someone can, but she asked it of the Senate or was it a rightwing think tank...

Interesting discussion of the DLC as a problem for Democrats, or maybe not:

DLC - Corporate Moles Destroying Our Party

I would like to say that their time is past and they are no longer needed. But with Citizens United and the Koch brothers and other cranky conservatives' billions, Obama made a PAC this last year - to compete.

Purity is a luxury millions whose lives have been saved by half measures can't afford to indulge themselves. It's a hard fact.

Compromises will be made, just make them the right way and get out to change the Congress and state houses - or ALEC will undo us from the ground up as they have grass roots support as well as national business interest support.

Sorry I could not find the EW quote. Post it if you find it as it would be a nice retort to them.
