Okay, I must be out of the loop. When did all of this Koch stuff start up? Just grew out of the Wisc. ordeal, or has this been mentioned before? Really, I am so in the dark on this.
Good question. I think the date can be pinpointed. If you do a Wikipedia search on the Koch Brothers, they have a whole lot of boring information about them back in the 80s and 90s — the political stuff is all very recent. The cited sources show an article from August 25, 2010, from the NY Times IIRC,and if you do a google search, you find almost nothing prior to that date.
That seems to be when the herd of independent minds all were struck with the revelation that the Koch Brothers, who have been around for decades, are the root of all evil.
They’ve bubbled to the surface only recently, I hadn’t heard of them either until earlier this month.
They’re really just a scapegoat for liberals.
