Koch Derangement Syndrome

You might have seen the news last month, "'Evil' Koch Brothers Rank #59 in Political Donations Behind 18 Different Unions."

The facts simply don't matter to the idiot Democrats. They're so intellectually bankrupt they simply must demonize the billionaire Koch brothers, who not only rank way down the list of political giving, but are some of the biggest philanthropists in the country, contributing to artistic ventures like the New York City Ballet.

In any case, see the New York Times, "New Democratic Strategy Goes After Koch Brothers."

And see Noah Rothman, at Mediaite, "The Democrats’ Crusade Against ‘Un-American’ Activities":

The moral righteousness of resistance to Sen. Joe McCarthy’s (R-WI) and the House Un-American Activities Committee remains vibrant in the imaginations of modern progressives. McCarthy and his congressional compatriot’s myopic campaign to expose communists in high-profile areas of American life was opposed by liberal dissenters who viewed his investigation as an infringement on their rights of free association, speech, and even thought.

The modern progressive movement admires their predecessors’ stand against McCarthy so deeply that references to that inauspicious period of American history are regularly deployed in liberal publications and media outlets.

Those noble principles apparently go right out the window when Democrats face what increasingly appears to be a catastrophic political landscape heading into the 2014 midterm election cycle. Political handicappers beginning to suggest Republicans have better than even odds of recapturing the upper chamber of Congress in November as Democratic officeholders struggle to defend the political millstone that has become of the Affordable Care Act. Rather than surrender to their fates, Democrats have taken to identifying their own shadowy boogeyman wrecking America from within: the libertarian billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.

“The base of the Democratic party, which provides the lion’s share of campaign contributions and activist hours to the party’s cause in midterm elections, loathes the Kochs,” The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza noted in February when he identified the anti-Koch campaign as a cornerstone of the Democratic Party’s election efforts. “ The base views the duo as everything wrong with the American political system where a handful of individuals are able to exert vast influence over elections simply because of their wealth.”

“The message is clear: The Koch brothers are the real enemy, not the Republican party in November,” he added.
