On the heels of their new-found fame as the "Motch Brothers" in the movie, "Campaign," see This Will Ferrell Movie Pisses Off the Koch Brothers, the Koch Brothers have now bought themselves a little more notoriety.
A Super-Pac associated with majority leader Harry Reid is up with a half million dollar ad buy on cable TV:
"Billionaire oil tycoons Charles and David Koch and their special interest friends are $400 million to buy this year's elections and advance their agenda. What's their payback? Politicians who will pass laws that benefit special interests but hurt the middle class," a narrator in the minute-long spot says.
The ad claims the Koch brothers' donations to politicians are prompted by a desire for policies that would help them financially, including lowering tax rates for the wealthy and changing Medicare to allow private insurers to compete with the government-funded health program on an exchange.
The ad says those policies would hurt the middle class while lining wealthy people's pockets.
"Don't let the Kochs use their billions to buy this election," the narrator in the ad concludes.

We need to make the Koch Brothers as known as their wholly owned candidate, Mitt Romney, and the political party they own, the Republican Party.
Thank you, Harry Reid.
The ad ends as follows:
