Think the Koch Brothers Are Among the Top 10 All-Time Political Donors?

[1776]

Oh look, the shitstain is doing its monkey trained diversion tactics.

A scumbag Democrap like you was on FOXNews last week downplaying the IRS scandal but was slammed when the host pointed out around 200 conservative groups out of 7 liberal groups got "extra reviews" by the IRS, and the liberal groups got their issues worked out quicker while some conservative groups never got approved.

Shut the fuck up, monkey.

Liberals are allowed to do whatever they like, even violate the law to go after conservatives.

If a conservative speaks up, spends money, etc to counter them...then liberals send the IRS, FBI, EPA, etc after them to throw them in jail or scare them into stopping their campaign against liberalism.

Just this week we see liberal scum in the Senate demanding the IRS go after conservative groups AGAIN over political ads exposing the obamacare lies. We are dealing with evil criminals....

Under George W. Bush, the IRS went after the NAACP, Greenpeace and even a liberal church

Darrell Issa requested IRS scrutiny of liberal groups not be released, to "focus on tea party organizations"

Between 1989 and 2014....The Kochs only gave $18 million in donations. Yeah.

Does anyone have trouble believing that?

Note: Percentages may not add up to 100% as money can be given to third party
candidates or outside spending groups and PACs not affiliated with either party.

ROFL....the data doesn't include PACs....what a joke...the Kochs give almost ALL their money to PACs, it doesn't include anything from them hardly

Wow! The Kochs give almost ALL their money to PACs? I wonder what soup kitchen they eat at.

Nope the highest donors are UNIONS which give most money to Dems so the next time you say something about the Koch brothers you might want to say the same thing about the UNIONS !!

Consider not only how much they donate, but why and who benefits. I know, that requires thinking and not simply acceptance of a stand alone statistic. One reason Mark Twain has been attributed to this comment: "There are liars, damn liars and statistics".

Applies to BOTH sides, right Fly Snatcher?

 

[The T]

Is this like saying

2

20,000,000

Consider not only how much they donate, but why and who benefits. I know, that requires thinking and not simply acceptance of a stand alone statistic. One reason Mark Twain has been attributed to this comment: "There are liars, damn liars and statistics".

Wry your right....but how are those guys any different than the big rich donors on the other side?......why and who benefits with them?.....either way you know the regular people are being fucked over somewhere....

Skipped right over the facts, eh, dupe. 400 MILLION DOLLARS ON THE DL, MAINLY TO DUPE YOU- worked like a charm...

and by that I mean LIES, not the good Dem stuff...

 

[Chris]

The Koch brothers combined contribute as much as the unions.

Those nasty unions representing the working man instead of the extraction companies.

What are they thinking?

 

[francoHFW]

ie- a tidal wave of lies for polution and pandering to the greedy rich, and there are no Dem donors or funders ANYWHERE near as big as the Kochs, Adison, or the Moonies- the guys who run the Examiner, the DC Times, or Fox, Rush etc etc...

 

[R.D.]

Cut-n-Paste Lovebear strikes again!

Didn't happen.

Youre so comfy with bs it's kinda creepy

 

[blackhawk]

The left is only upset with big money being donated to Republicans.

 

[francoHFW]

So much under the table secret money to spread lies, pander to the greedy rich, and misinform the country, actually- a disgrace.

OP- AVOIDS ALL THE ACTUAL PROBLEMS- FOR DUPES ONLY...

 

[eagle7_31]

Not nearly as clueless as the likes of you and your ilk.

Soros, Buffet for starters sure are. Then again you are only concerned about GOP big donors.

 

[francoHFW]

Campaign donations are a tiny part of what the Kochs and other Pub billionnaires are up to, and their motives suq...FOR pollution, screwing workers, misinformation, cutting their own taxes- the opposite of Buffett and Soros, hater dupes.

 

[OKTexas]

Yep the commies complain that the GOP is in the pockets of corporations, guess what commies, unions are corporations also and your folks are bought a paid for just as much as any other.

 

[francoHFW]

Unions don't fight for pollution or screwing the workers...chump of the greedy idiot rich...

 

[francoHFW]

The GOP IS IN THE POCKET OF THE GREEDY, THIEVING, CHEATING, POLLUTING CORPORATIONS...
