1. Judicious, or at least copious, use of that Democrat wholly owned subsidiary, the main stream media, has allowed the Left to take the spotlight off the main purchaser of the political process, George Soros, and try to train the public's attention on relatively tiny political investments by the Brothers Koch, David and Charles.

2. The few hundred million the Koch's have donated compares marginally to over $8 billion by George Soros.
"Soros is a well-known supporter of progressive-liberal political causes. Between 1979 and 2011, Soros gave away over $8 billion..." George Soros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3. ""New Democratic Strategy Goes After Koch Brothers," announced a New York Times.... Democrats are embarking on a broad effort that aims to unmask the press-shy siblings and portray them, instead, as a pair of villains bent on wrecking progressive politics.
a. The Kochs are so obscure, even to Times readers, that the reporter felt obliged to identify them right off the bat, necessitating a yawner of a lead paragraph.
4. Back inFebruary 2011 we noted an anti-Koch rally in California where various "progressives" were captured on video calling for the assassination of Supreme Court justices who voted to uphold the right to free speech.
a. .... Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid .... are joining in the demonization of private citizens, following Saul Alinsky's 13th rule: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. "
[When you want to know what Democrats are doing, note what they accuse the other side of doing. Here, Reid claims for the Koch Brothers exactly what Soros has repeatedly done: ""Mr. President, these two brothers are trying to buy America. They not only funnel money through their Americans for Prosperity, they funnel money into all kinds of organizations to do the same thing that they're doing. They're trying to buy America."]
5. Alinskyite tactics were meant to be applied against the powerful by the powerless. When applied by powerful men, like Reid, who are supposed to be public servants, they take on the character of tyranny rather than rebellion.
6.... an anti-Koch protest over the weekend staged by a pair of unions, the New York State Nurses Association and the Service Employees International Union Local 1199, along with the state chapter of the NAACP. They were protesting a new hospital wing.
Yes, you read that right. They objected to "the soon-to-be-built David H. Koch Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital," for which the eponymous donor gave $100 million.
7. The Democrats are not quite as outmatched as all that. Along with the "political pulpits" afforded by the White House and the Senate majority, they also have a $2.5 billion corporation [the NYTimes] that is happy to disseminate their propaganda free of charge."

Again, as always, the desire of the Left is to shut down any and all opposition voices in any way possible.
Any way.
