Short Diary: I am asking that if you are on Facebook, please "like" my recently created community page - The Koch Brothers Hate America I created it just yesterday and already the page has 22 likes. I am hoping to get that number much higher so as to be another place to discuss the Kochs, their right wing allies (like Sheldon Adelson), the politicians that they own (like Scott Walker and most of the GOP in Congress) and the dirty tricks that they have up their sleeves.
While I've despise the Kochs since first learning about them over the past few years, what motivated me to take to Facebook so as to create this page was stopping at a local Starbucks yesterday afternoon and glimpsing in a NY Times an article called Romney Donors Out in Force in Hamptons Just the image of the unspeakably wealthy 1% hiding behind the gates of their beachfront mansions and behind the Citizens United decision and the mention of David Koch being one of these plutocrats got my blood boiling.
Of course, I was also heartened by this. While this was not necessarily a large protest, it was certainly a spirited one. While I was not able to attend, I am heartened knowing that anti-plutocracy protesters such as these are taking their protests directly to those, like the Kochs, who are trying to buy our democracy out from underneath us.
If you join me and this group on Facebook, allow me here to thank you in advance.
