I guess Harry Reid struck a nerve. Also all the liberal and progressive have been hammering away at the Kochs on the internet in blogs and articles. They can't hide anymore. More and more people are starting to learn who they are. Here is a little of the WSJ rant that Charles Koch wrote. It is more self serving and justifying then anything else.
I have devoted most of my life to understanding the principles that enable people to improve their lives. It is those principles—the principles of a free society—that have shaped my life, my family, our company and America itself.
Unfortunately, the fundamental concepts of dignity, respect, equality before the law and personal freedom are under attack by the nation's own government. That's why, if we want to restore a free society and create greater well-being and opportunity for all Americans, we have no choice but to fight for those principles. I have been doing so for more than 50 years, primarily through educational efforts. It was only in the past decade that I realized the need to also engage in the political process.
Comments
He is also a lying. He has been involved since the 1970's in the political process. I hope everyone reads this and remembers how this trust fund baby of one of the founders of the John Burch Society thinks he has all the right answers. He is in his 70's and he wants to see his daddy's dream come true before he dies. A corporate utopia for the USA.
"Collectivists?" Good grief...why don't he just come out and call all of us communists. LOL

The principle is cutting his taxes. I could say taxing the rich is like the Holocaust but I won't.
Taxing the rich for stuff like health care is like jamming 562 slaves below a slave ship deck in a 3 foot high hold, and then throwing the sick or dead ones overboard. Those were days of true freedom for job creators.

David and Charles Koch never created anything useful, their dad did. They are just selfish, power hungry, trust fund babies. Their corporation only exists because we let it through our collective laws. They are not used to anyone standing up to them and telling them they are full of crap.

There is hardly anyone in America who advocates "government control of the means of production". Even some of the fifty or so remaining socialists are in favor of market socialism, as jollyroger is.
It amazes me when people like Koch say that poverty is caused by government intervention. There wasn't any poverty before the New Deal or the SEC?

They live in a vacuum and have no idea what you and I think. They are cold war radicals afraid of something that doesn't exist with too much money. They are an example of why we need strong inheritance tax on the uber wealthy. There activities have been unamerican and against society on a whole.
If they cared about poverty they would be using that money to help lift the poor up.

What is wrong, or right. with this picture?

LOL they are using the Daily Kos Flag. I don't know the story behind the painting but it don't match the rant. LOL Also all the side bar titles about ACA and SCOTUS ruling to allow even more money into the political process.
Edited: Kos does explain the history behind the flag picture and their logo here:

And of coarse that crowd over there is having a lot of fun over it. LOL

Shorter Koch rant--I'm feeling the heat.
This is an excellent sign--these guys spent the last 30 years keeping their heads as far down as could be done.

He must not have a very good PR person or no one ever says no to him. There is going to be some very good quotes from this in ad campaigns from the Democrats. Many people don't even know who they are, but they will learn about them now.
I haven't read the term "collectivists" in a long time. Ayn Rand was a cult in the early 1950's. Her movie "Fountainhead" was shown in art theaters late at night for the college students. Much like the "Rocky Horror Show" in a later generation. They even had an "Objectivists Society." Allen Greenspan was a member. Rand wrote about collectivists verses individualist in all her books. It was part of the cold war panic.

We were truly free when GW Bush was invading Iraq to get Saddma's bio-weapons which he didn't have, and meanwhile Bush et al were starting on anti-anthrax CIPRO a week before the first (US Army manufactured) weaponized letter was mailed.
Those were halcyon days that Koch seeks to reutrn us to. At a minimum.
