Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion

If you ever wondered what kind of person eagerly awaited subsequent episodes of Happy Days after Fonzie jumped the shark, look no further than the good people at Thunk Progress and HuffPo. People on the right can't write parody nearly as fast as people on the left can perform it. Bravo, lefties!

Koch Industries in Wisconsin = Georgia Pacific = 3000 jobs.

Wisconsin Employee's pension has investments in GP corporate bonds.

This is a flyspeck in contrast to the union manipulation of contracts to steer health insurance money to their own insurance company.

Complaints about competitive bids through non-political cafeteria managers for styrofoam cups? That's what the Left is reduced to?

The real reason for all this Koch horse exhaust is because leftists find it easier to spell than "Halliburton."

This could be trouble. I think that "styrofoam-cup-gate" has some serious legs. Heh.

But then again, if the Valerie Plame case, Grand Prize Winner of the 'All-Time Stupidest "Scandal" in Political History' award, has legs, who's to say?

Obviously, the styrofoam cups are specially treated to release certain chemicals into the contents, allowing for the control of Congressmembers

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stock up on distilled water and grain alcohol , and find my copy of Dr. Strangelove.

They've lost their freakin' minds.
No further comment or analysis needed.

The end.

To the leftards, Koch bros are bad b/c they allegedly buy politicians who give them sweet deals with taxpayer dollars.

To the leftards, public employee unions are good even though they actually buy politicians who give them sweet deals with taxpayer dollars.

To tell you the truth, I follow business and finance and I had never heard of the Koch Bros. until a few months ago. I get the impression there is a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy going on where some manipulative d**ks (possibly the whole Democrat Party) think up schemes to deflect attention from the mess they are making of everything and then program attack dogs (Stink Progress, the Daily Kosa Nostra, Huffing and Puffing Post, etc) by throwing some raw meat to them and giving commands like "Destroy Koch" or "Scream Racism" (these commands tend to be short because the dogs are not able to process much information.)

I DARE anybody to prove me wrong! (Heh, heh.)

Will these right wingers stop at NOTHING?!?

Former Koch Industries executive George Wurtz owns WinCup, which supplies the styrofoam cups now littering the building following the House GOP's decision to phase out biodegradable cups from a Capitol lunchroom.

Off the main point, but you gotta love the inferences:

1) The styrofoam cups just didn't litter themselves, someone had to supply them.

2) Cups are now littering the grounds because some Republican elected officials (false- it was cafeteria management- but even so) decided styrofoam costs less and is more convenient for a lunchroom.

3) Eco-aware Democratic protesters were forced not only to use these styrofoam abominations, as opposed to bringing their own SmartWater in leaching plastic or corporate and overpriced but trendy Starbucks drinks, but to drop them about the grounds.

4) Had these cups been bio-degradable, the hard-working protesters could've trashed them around the Capitol expecting them to disintegrate and disappear from view within a year or so.

The Think Progess assault on the Koch's is very odd. The Koch's are true libertarians, not conservativse. That means they support both economic freedom, in the form of laissez-faire capitalism, and maximum individual freedom, in the form of strong civil liberties. Regarding economic freedom, they want to eliminate all forms of corporate welfare that favor Big Business and crony capitalism such as subsidies, tarrifs, excessive regulations, etc. All of which inhibit competition and restrict entrepreneurship. By opposing the Koch's, does Think Progress supoort a less competitive marketplace which favors crony capitalism and Big Business? Strange position to take.

As true libertarians, the Koch's also place a higher value on personal freedom and civil liberties than conervatives often do. For example, the Koch's teamed up with George Soros, a major contributor to the Center for American Progress which owns Think Progress, to donate $10 million to the ACLU to try to overturn the Patriot Act when it was initially enacated several years ago. Since Soros is Lee Fang's Sugar Daddy, I'm sure Fang and Think Progress are fully aware of this Koch/Soros arrangement. When the Patriot Act was enacted, all we heard from the Left was that Bush was trampling our Constitutional rights and creating a police state. By opposing the Koch's, does that mean Think Progress now supports the police state that the Koch's have lobbied to dimantle by trying to overturn the Patriot Act?

The Koch's are a strange target for an entity like Think Progress to demonize.

yeah, i characterize that kind of story as being an assertion that a certain person has "cooties." somehow mere contact with something makes you take on all the aspects of it.

You saw that with the attacks on judge feldman who issued the injunction ending the drilling moratorium. they said, "well, once he owned oil stock." not that he did at the time of his decision, but apparently the judge had "oil cooties" in the mind of the left.

Koch cooties sounds worse, but i wonder why no one on the left ever thinks Obama has Rev. Wright cooties, or Ayers cooties?

Ha! They really have lost it. Worst conspiracy theory evah.

Even better, if you read the Powerline post about it that links here, the dude in question left GP right after Koch bought it.

So either he didn't like their ownership or they didn't see a need to keep him employed there.

Thus plainly he must be in their pocket. I mean, it follows plain as day...
