Come on Cactus Carlos, the Koch brothers have been sending out the VRWC checks for years, didn't you notice the signature line?
This from the article sounds like it could have been written by a frothing-at-the-mouth DUmmy:
Now, to the paranoia. These folks would make Richard Nixon’s enemies list look tame. This could be a movie akin to George Clooney’s Michael Clayton.
This past weekend the Koch brothers hosted a conference in Palm Springs that resembled an armed camp. Private Koch security was everywhere—manning every doorway and stairway within range of the conference. Reporters were confronted by private security guards and told to leave or they would be arrested, and a Common Cause official had his lunch reservation canceled and was told to check out of the hotel by Koch’s security detail. Young environmental activists were slapped with $100,000 law suits for demonstrating and engaging in pranks. A Politico reporter describes being thrown out and threatened with “a night in the Riverside County jail.â€
All this while hiring an army of lawyers, PR flacks, political consultants, and pollsters to protect their “empire.†Everywhere there were folks spinning. Even reporters, who had been paid by Koch, attended the conference to “report†on what they “learned.†Well, Lord knows they have the money.
My guess is that anonymity will not be the Koch brothers’ middle name any longer.
