Koch Brothers Blast Obama, Talk 2012 Strategy At Secret Fundraising Meeting

Mother Jones:

"We have Saddam Hussein," declared billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, apparently referring to President Barack Obama as he welcomed hundreds of wealthy guests to the latest of the secret fundraising and strategy seminars he and his brother host twice a year. The 2012 elections, he warned, will be "the mother of all wars."

If these upstanding Americans are so righteous in their cause why all the secrecy? Why lie and cover up their their activities? If you have to resort to misinformation, subterfuge and secrecy In order to implement your agenda you should probably be behind bars.

Why are the Kochs so afraid of Obama?

Does the moderate president really warrant a ‘mother of all wars’?

Good to learn that Perry attended a Koch brothers bundt meeting. It would be in the pulic's nteest to know who all of the attendees were. If that. Format inis available it should be published. These people are dangerous to our democracy. It is the money influence n DC that has distorted our values and prevented and real progress from taking place. It is the phenomena of the powerful spending tens of millions of dollars and interfering with the governing of our country that is called fascism.

Disrespecting the office of presidency is an affront to every honorable US citizen, especially to those that gave their lives for our country. But, Koch's honor is only for fellow thieves and villains.

Affirmative on disrespecting the office of the President. Let's just hope that some Hollywood producer doesn't put out a piece of trash movie showing the assassination of a sitting president as they did with President Bush. Maybe you might like to have some facts on the Koch Bros. At least they don't advocate for dissolving US sovereignty and open borders. Everyone wants to work for them...great pay and working conditions. They have excellent relationship with their unionized employees. Get the facts. They are libertarians, believe that the Repub as well as Dems are responsible for deficits and believe in legalization of drugs. That should make Dems happier!

There is no honor among wannabe fascist leaders. They want to run the country and "let" you work for them. The next step will be doing away with the minimum wage. They've already gone after their only real opposition, the unions. In some cases people use union as a dirty word. They've totally and completely forgotten the history of their own country.

If you look at the Koch's past, their father had ties to the John Birch Society, which was shunned by the majority of Americans in the 1960's. Now it's renamed ALEC. The Koch Brothers are a bunch of corporate libertarians that have made billions off of corporate welfare and introducing free-market philosophies in the mainstream. They have their own book of morals. They also want to resegregate schools and destroy public education. These men are dangerous.

The Koch Brothers and others like them are what is wrong with this country. We are a diverse country with many different philosophies and ideas. Until recently, we've managed to co-exist reasonably well. Not anymore - these big money men are determined to make us all abide by their ideas and are willing to spend millions and millions to ensure it happens. They do not represent what America is and are very dangerous to this country.

They have done a good job brainwashing low-information voters into accepting their ideas through sources like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, the Heritage Foundation, the CATO Institute, and Fox News. They are a bunch of social Darwinists.
