For the 1st time, amidst all the teabaggery, I'm afraid.
I was just listening to the Dylan Ratigan show (1st time for that too) and they did a segment on the Koch's. He talked to the two journalists, formally from Russia, who originally broke the story that the Tea Party was funded by the Koch bros. They talked about the family history. The dad was an oil man who went over and worked for Stalin for years. He was also the co-founder of the John Birch Society (who are coincidentally headquartered in my home town, to our great shame).
What scared me was that the Koch's have made known that they alone will pour $88 million into the next election on a state and federal level to take over as much as possible. Their goal is to set up a Russian style oligarchy fronted by a fake democracy. WTF! I think they can do it. How do we fight this? I feel like we have to do something now, but what? Ideas?
