I just got an email that might mean that things are swinging in our direction.
Some time ago, through no fault of my own, I ended up on the email list of a Nevada right-winger, religious fanatic. For a while, I would send polite responses about why Sharon Angle could not be trusted to hold elected office, or why her fear of Obama was irrational, but then I just gave up.
I haven't received anything from her in about 6 months, and then in the last half hour the following from the same sender landed in my inbox:
Brothers Charles and David Koch, with a combined worth around $35 billion dollars, are waging a war against President Obama. The Koch brothers are the majority owners in Koch Industries, America's second-largest private company with revenues of $100 billion in 2009, and 80,000 employees in 60 countries. Koch Industries main source of revenue is from the manufacturing, refining, and distribution of petroleum. They are major financiers of the Tea Party. They also are providing money to run anti-democratic ads. Do not allow your money to be used to sponsor the Tea Party. Please don't buy these products if at all possible! Products by Koch:
1. All Georgia-Pacific Products:
2. Angel Soft toilet paper
3. Brawny paper towels
4. Dixie plates, bowls, napkins and cups
5. Mardi Gras napkins and towels
6. Quilted Northern toilet paper
7. Soft 'an Gentle toilet paper
8. Sparkle napkins
9. Vanity fair napkins
10. Zee napkins
Please pass it on!!!
I can't begin to explain all the weird stuff I used to get from this same sender; but receiving this one tells me that maybe some of the Tea Party populists are beginning to understand that they've been played. No really, if this person is sending out this kind of stuff now, the Koch brothers are in trouble.
Anybody else seeing anti-Koch sentiments coming from unlikely sources?
