Hot off the pages of Mother Jones, Think Progress and AlterNet:
As the nation focuses on the efforts of Governor Scott Walker to take away collective bargaining rights from public employees in Wisconsin, new information is coming to light that reveals what is truly going on here.
Mother Jones is reporting that much of the funding behind the Walker for Governor campaign came from none other than uber-conservatives, the infamous Koch Brothers.

Yeah, they are now a stand-in for “Bushitler” among the lefties.
Charles and David Koch are conservative titans of industry who have infamously used their vast wealth to undermine President Obama and fight legislation they detest, such as the cap-and-trade climate bill, the health care reform act, and the economic stimulus package.I think I love these Koch brothers and I don't even know who they are.
Remember when W ran and they were sure that the evil Richard Mellon Scaiffe was behind a plot to take over the USA? Of course, they aren’t worried a whit about the real malevolent schemer who wants to bring down the country...George Soros.
Doesn’t change a thing. Unions are still thugs.
Its painfully obvious to any objective observer that the communist in the White House is hardly an American.
This is a guy who said the US is comprised of 57 states, who's father, stepfather, and brothers are all muhammadans, and is in league with fellow marxists, sex perverts, domestic terrorists, and thieves.
IT IS AN INDICTMENT ON THE USA THAT THIS MUSLIM COMMUNIST SERVES AS POTUS.
In more civilized times, like in 1787, this shifty son of a whore and his comrades would be run out of town on a rail.
An electorate that puts Clinton in the WH twice, gives the insane al gore the popular vote, elects a not natural born muslim communist POTUS at least once, and then elects bushes three times and Reagan twice is an electorate that is mentally retarded.
The Republic is in great jeopardy AND IS IN DECLINE.
DRASTIC MEASURES ARE IN ORDER.
If he thinks people hate him now, wait until he and his comrades try to steal the WH in 2012.
This is going to be a SERIOUS fight.
The GOP may not survive if MYTH ROMNEY or some other crook gets the nomination, and for sure the unions will be going for broke to put more marxists in office, especially Hussein.
The next GOP POTUS needs to declare a Zero tolerance policy for marxists in US government.
Investigate and arrest members of the “Congressional Progressive Caucus”and Declare all States "Right to Work" states, no more forced compulsory union dues in order to keep your job.
Defund the marxist trade and government worker unions.
No one will pay union dues voluntarily.
Let the union workers give themselves a raise by not having to pay any more dues.
The next POTUS must cripple the corrupt and degenerate marxist public and private sector unions by declaring all States of this union to be "Right to Work States"
lol I don’t remember Forbes warning us about soros and if Koch has a hand in that group I would like to thank them.
In the teeny tiny Democrat brain: Soros good, Koch bad.
I think Willie must have been run over by one of his choo-choos!

Ya beat me to it!!

I remember that sad old bag.
“Let the union workers give themselves a raise by not having to pay any more dues.”
Amen!
Me too-Go Koch Brothers
It's not within the President's power to do that.
Via the Taft-Hartley Act, Congress has given each state the right to declare itself a "right-to-work" state. So, the union issue is up to the individual states.
Public employee unionization, though, is a whole 'nother problem. And every state should recognize that allowing unionization of public employees was a bad, baaaad idea -- and should be reversed ASAP.
Because everyone who attends a tea party is just an ignorant yokel with a half dozen teeth and can only sign their names with an X.
Maybe the tea parties are using the Koch brothers for their money. Maybe both the tea parties and the Koch brothers have similar aims without anyone being used.

*** Maybe both the tea parties and the Koch brothers have similar aims without anyone being used. ***
The way Obama thinks, he will probably want Holder to prosecute anyone who agrees with the Koch brothers under the RICO act:)
How about The Wisconsin Voters?
They are pretty wealthy gents; they are involved in a number of industries.
“The Koch Brothers seem to be the current designated Bogieman for the left.”
Emmanuel Goldstein squared.
