Papantonio: The Alternative Reality of the Koch Brothers

When you’ve got billions of dollars and have been surrounded by “yes men” your entire life, it isn’t difficult to lose touch with reality. And as Mike Papantonio points out on The Ed Schultz Show, that is exactly what has happened to the Koch Brothers.

    Very Interesting!!!

    I really LOVE to hear Mike talk about what makes people tick – and ticked off, for that matter! And it sounds to me, from Mike’s words, like there’s a world of pain underneath the Koch Bros Thin Skin! (It’s Filthy Rich skin, albeit, but it’s still Thin Skin)! And, like Ed, that Intrigues me!

    My goodness, I need to stop myself, almost, from feeling bad for these bastards!

    Of course, it helps to remind myself that the most egregious evil is often committed by people who think that THEY are the victims!!!

    I guess those at the top are so good at getting the minions to do their bidding because they, themselves, are as brain-washed as those they control.

    As Mike said, after a lifetime of being told “you are great” and “you are god” (pretty much), the Kochs don’t know how to deal with anything else.

    Fortunately (for Them) they can cushion the pain with untold amounts of paid for a$$ kissing, such as that silly article that takes their side.

    So, according to the Koch bros. logic, any dissent of them whatsoever is considered dangerous?

    I’m sure we would like to tell them, “sorry Koch bros., but democracy does NOT come without dissent.”

    Dissent is one form of patriotism that the Right always seems to be forgetting.

    Dissent is only acceptable to the Right when only they feel that they are the only ones to dissent not anyone else.

    Need specific information! While Medicare Part A is usually automatic, Parts B and D are voluntary. Have been trying to find out if the Kochs, who hate Medicare and everything about it, have voluntarily signed on for Part B or Part D. Slightly hypocritical if they have. Want to work that into an article I am writing. Have tried asking them. Am currently being given the run-around…
