I think it's on my list to watch right after Michael Moore's and Al Gore's fictional movies. http://www.washingto...o-college-fund/ The billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, known best for shepherding big money to conservative causes and candidates, have given a $25 million grant to the United Negro College Fund, the organization announced Friday. The money will come from Koch Industries Inc. and the Charles Koch Foundation, which are headed by the brothers. Most of the money ($18.5 million) will go toward a scholarship program. The other $6.5 million is provided for general support to historically black colleges and universities and the UNCF, $4 million of which will be set aside for loan assistance. The UNCF is the nation's largest minority education group. Such a highly-publicized gift is unusual for Charles Koch. His foundation routinely gives away lots of money, but typically with little fanfare. "Increasing well-being by helping people improve their lives has long been our focus," Charles Koch said in a statement. Even "The Onion" wouldn't go this far: http://freebeacon.co...t-not-a-parody/ The Koch brothers are at it again. Their right-wing political Panzer Division descended on a New York City hospital over the weekend to protest (!) the addition of a new ambulatory care center. What the hell, Koch bros? Why notpro-America? Sorry. That’s not quite right. In fact, it was the New York State Nurses’ Association, the NAACP New York State Conference, and SEIU Local 1199, among others, who marched on the soon-to-be-built David H. Koch Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, which was funded in part by a $100 million donation from the man one prominent liberal recently predicted would go down in history as a “famously evil person.” The donation was the largest in the hospital’s history, and will presumably create a fair number of new nursing jobs. So why are the usual suspects up in arms? Well, the agitators were apparently agitated because this particular hospital didn’t need all the money. Oh yeah, and because it was International Women’s Day, and the Kochs are the primary funders of the “war on women’s reproductive rights … and many other issues of concern to American women.” They’re also behind “the effort to defeat and repeal healthcare to all Americans,” whatever that means. Ben Kallos, the local New York City Council representative, was on hand to shout compelling applause lines such as........

Being a blind dumbass doesn't work here: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/02/evil-koch-brothers-rank-59-in-political-donations-behind-18-different-unions/ This week Senate Democrats once again asked the IRS to crack down on conservative groups including Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. Democrats want to silence the opposition. So how big of a threat are the Koch Brothers? Over the past twenty five years, from 1989 to 2014, Koch Industries has donated$18,083,948 in political contributions to Republicans. While that seems like a large sum, it only ranks them as number 59 on the list of top all-time political donors – behind 18 different unions. Here is the list of unions that top the Koch Brothers in political donations. Via Open Secrets: 2.) American Fedn of State, County & Municipal Employees $60,667,379 4.) National Education Assn $53,594,488 7.) Intl Brotherhood of Electrical Workers $44,478,789 8.) United Auto Workers $41,667,858 9.) Carpenters & Joiners Union $39,260,371 10.)

Tiberius Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 If you had anything, you would have stated why it was so misleading. I knew you nor any of the other right wing ninnies that infest this board could figure out that: 1: Those are just donations to political parties. If you paid any attention at all to what they were doing you would know they finance right wing "think" tanks, really just propaganda spewing factories that billow out lies people like B-Man cut and paste on here. They also finance attack ads and do not have to disclose who they are, so how much they actually spent is only known to them. 2) These are two friggin guys. You put them against unions which are groups of people. You could not possible see the problem there but intelligent people will. 3) I'm cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
