Wanna know who put the TP in Tea Party? These two shithead oligarchs.

From Nation of Change posting today entitled "The 1% Have a Stranglehold on Politics."

"Al Jazeera released a new mini-documentary yesterday on the Koch Brothers — the multi-billionare energy tycoons who have spent over $50 million on campaigns to tear down the science of climate change and clean energy policy.

The documentary features a lengthy interview with our colleague Lee Fang, an investigative reporter with Think Progress, who has played a major role in uncovering the strong “web of influence” of the Koch Brothers on state and federal politicians. The film touches on the Koch role in everything from health care to energy policy."

The KOCH Bros. are just the tip of the Oligarchic pyramid that runs this country and most of the planet. A recent survey found that just 750 or so inter-connected Corp. orgs. own something like 80% of the Planets resources. The curtain has been ripped asunder and we now see who these wizards are and its to no ones surprise a tiny tiny group of billionaires and their army of hired hands.

When killing snakes, always stomp on the head.

The Oligarchs are a leaderless group. In fact they fight among themselves quite a bit.

koch = soros? OK- so they both "finance" movements. we know how the t p lemmings FINANCIALLY help koch.

How does the soros financing help soros? It does let him breathe cleaner air.

The koch story - we all know - but the lemmings dont - or wont believe it. Publicizing this story is much more important than attacking the joke called fox.

PLEASE take a quick look at this graph - guaranteed to raise your blood pressure

I wonder how many of their employees could be persuaded to go on strike?

This is an emergency Notice to all members of occupy James Damiano the very person who's been for over twelve years fighting the law firm that represents goldman sachs has been banned from this forum. Mr. Damiano is probably one of the most knowledgeable members and has contributed a wealth of information pertaining to the issues at hand in the Occupy forum

oh crap, Glen Beck is right. You people are all connected. Al Jazeera, mini documentary? George Soros, Adbusters, Tied foundation.....

I couldn't wait to hear from you (or one of you're equally frightened brethren) about al Jazeera. Oooooh, scary!!! The Muzlims are comin' ta get us, ma! GO GIT MAH GUN!

Laughable. Just like Fox: don't address the facts, try to undermine the argument through innuendo. AdBusters is such a trilateral commission type entity--quick! Everyone! AdBusters is the new threat to fear! Let's all fear together!! Amen.

Yes lets all "Fear together", don't worry about that little slogan on our website, "The Only Solution Is World Revolution" don't mind that it means nothing we just want to revolve around......um......well never mind, we are nice, trust us.

Please I have been watching this movement closely, I have been getting my information from your own website dumb ass, I have been watching the live streams of OWS. I have watched and read and listened.

And if you really want a revolution in this country, you will find out what percentage of the population you are really in. and yeah, MAH.....GET THE GUN

"and yeah, MAH.....GET THE GUN"

Violence is the last resort of the incompetent. You know, the folks who use "dumb ass" (btw, it's one word, dumbass) to make their points. Those folks.

Folks like you....

[-] -1 points by The1capitalist (87) 13 years ago

actually smart ass dumbass is not even a word just like smartass isn't a word, and considering that i was typing quickly, i'll let myself off the hook.

I love how you lefties always go for the race card, redneck, or any other name calling you seem to find handy. Oh, and fear mongering, God I want to throw up every time I hear someone say fear or war or anything mongering. Christ.

What you want is violence, you want to instigate it, you want to beam it across the world.

Now, next time you want to talk to me, make it an intelligent thought provoking post. If all you have is the normal lefty crap, than you can keep it to yourself.
