Senator Demands Investigation of Latest Koch Brothers Donation
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 6 June 2014 | John Semmens

Posted on 06/09/2014 8:48:51 AM PDT by John Semmens

News that the billionaire Koch brothers have donated $25 million to the United Negro College Fund spurred Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev) to demand an investigation.

"In the midst of a raft of phony scandals the GOP has been trying to cook up on the IRS, Benghazi, and now the terrorists traded for a POW, we see that the two most dangerous men in America are extending their tentacles into yet another sector of society," Reid complained. "I, for one, find this latest development frightening. What sinister plan are they trying to implement?"

Reid contrasted "the very live threat represented by the Koch brothers" with what he characterized as "the dead issue of Benghazi where we see the House Republicans ginning up a completely unnecessary rehash of the events on a night long past. The people who died on that night can't be revived, but the people who's minds will be polluted under the guise of so-called philanthropy by the Kochs can still be saved."

The Senator expressed some frustration with "the lack of support from my colleagues in the Senate" and some envy of President Obama "who can with the stroke of a pen order whatever he wants done to be done."

"You'd think the IRS or the NSA would've already been all over the Kochs," Reid speculated. "With all the data they've been gathering the NSA must by now have come across some errant comment or unseemly behavior by one of these guys. And even if there's nothing concrete the threat of an IRS audit alone could've been used to bring these two into line."

The further out you go with your preposterous satires the more plausible they become!

Well, I notice that it is “semi-satire,” but it very well could be true.

Funny how the closer satire cuts closer to home. The funny it gets.

Even though it is satirical in content, nothing hairy does would surprise me, so if it’s announced that some sort of investigation were to be mounted, it’d be no shock. I think he has a man crush on the brothers.

“Stop posting this semi-satire crap.”

I’m with you——I find it extremely annoying.

It’s all part of their dastardly plan to educate negroes.

African - Americans had better educational opportunities under Jim Crow and had better learning skills than they currently have in the Democrat run urban indoctrination centers that our public school systems have become.

Of the 40% that don't drop out of school and actually graduate, more than half have math and reading skills at the 4th grade level.

If it's not clear... it is true. At least the first part:

And leftists are outraged:

Why? What about free speech do you not subscribe? It is clearly labeled and probably most on this forum greatly enjoy John's semi-satire.
