Charles and David Koch of Koch Industries MIT-trained brothers turned family oil refining firm into America’s second largest private company. Koch Industries has stakes in pipelines, refineries, fertilizer, fibers and polymers, forest and consumer products, chemical technology. Sales in 2008: $110 billion. Brothers each own 42% of company. Employs 80,000 people and operates in 60 countries.
The New Yorker does a hit piece against these billionaire titans of business and industry. Their company, Koch Industries, website is here.
As if earning and spending your OWN money in order to influence public opinion is a crime or something.
And, the title is extremely misleading because the Kochs’ opposition to the Far Left Anti-Capitalism Agenda of the Democrats and specifically President Barack Obama is widely known.
Oh yeah and the writer had to mention that their father was a founding member of the John Birch Society. Well, Non-Reagan, I mean Ron Reagan’s father was a Republican President, too.

Cindy Sheehan, Jodie Evans, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Medea Benjamin, January 28, 2006
Well, Jodie Evans of Code Pink infamy is associating herself with another FAR LEFT radical and this time it is California Attorney General and former Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown.
You might call him Governor Moonbeam, but I prefer Governor Double Dip, and there’s nothing harmlessly moonbeamy and charmingly hippie dippie about his doing business with Jode Evans, co-founder of the obnoxious anti-American group Code Pink and someone with a well-documented history of supporting terrorists and those countries that would do America harm.
You remember Jodie Evans and how she was booted out of the 2004 Republican National Committee. Here is the photo:

Yes, the Code PINKOS have been an egregious bunch and frankly I don’t know why Jerry Brown would want to be so visibly associated with them. But, associated he is.
The Code Pink Marxists taunted wounded soldiers at Walter Reed, they traveled to Iraq to support Saddam Hussein before the war, they sent thousands of dollars to support Al-Qaeda in Fallujah, they’ve traveled to Afghanistan to meet with the Taliban, they’ve met the leaders of the Iranian regime…
They’ve met with Chavez at socialist conferences.
And, telling a Gold Star Mom that her son deserved to die In Iraq is about the icing on the cake.
I still clearly remember the day that I was summoned home by my oldest son Kristofer to find the Navy officers and chaplain waiting inside my home to tell me the most painful and agonizing words I would ever hear, “We are sorry to inform you that your son Marc Alan Lee was killed in action.”
August 2nd, 2006 forever changed my life. I don’t breathe the same, I don’t think the same, I don’t act the same, I don’t live the same. Everything I do since that day is much deeper and with greater passion. I cherish every moment that I breath, every person in my life, every hug and the precious gift of life. Since that day I have dedicated my life to honoring and supporting our troops, their families and especially the families of the fallen.
I have always been a patriot and understood that our men and women serving have paid for my freedoms but since the day Marc willingly sacrificed his life, I understand in a much deeper way the cost and sacrifice that our brave warriors and their families make. “Freedom isn’t free” is a reality not just a patriotic slogan…
In 2008 they barricaded the recruiting office in Berkeley with the blessing of the Berkeley City Council. We at Move America Forward had all we could stomach when we heard them tell the Marines they were unwelcome, unwanted intruders, not in Iraq or Afghanistan but on American soil in Berkeley, California. Americans from across the nation joined us in Berkeley to counter-protest these anti-war hippies. Numerous times they told me they support the troops but not the war, yet over and over when I asked if they had sent care packages, phone cards, written letters, or helped the families left behind in anyway, they conveniently couldn’t remember anything they had done. Yet they had a successful fundraiser to send $600,000.00 to our enemies in Iraq? Yet Jodie Evans and her Code Pink degenerates taunted me and made light of my son’s sacrifice telling me, “Your son deserved to die in Iraq if he was stupid enough to go over there.” It took every ounce of reserve in my body to not level these idiots to the ground. These same people who call terrorists “freedom fighters” says that my son, who gave up his life for their freedoms, deserved death.
Now Jodie Evans is at her fundraising efforts again, this time to support Jerry Brown for Governor of California. California is at the top of the list for military bases and boasts one of the largest populations of Veterans, yet Jerry Brown a past governor of the state and candidate for the office again, is willing to take thousands of dollars from one of the largest anti-war groups in America. What a slap in the face to all of our brave warriors who have fought and sacrificed so much for our freedoms.
Yep, there will be a protest over at Jodie Evan’s house during the fundraiser which is going on now at the time of the posting. I doubt it will make the nightly local news but sure there will be some clips on YouTube by tomorrow.
Now, Jerry Brown is a FAR LEFT POL, always has been and always will be. He associates himself with radical LEFTYS who associate with the enemies of America.
California voters should remember this in November.
Somehow, I do not think Republican Meg Whitman will be letting this go.

The Meg Whitman for Governor Campaign launched a new statewide ad today titled, “The Real Story.” This is the launch of the Campaign’s focus on Jerry Brown’s long, failed history in California politics: “A Lifetime in Politics, A Legacy of Failure.”
This ad is especially for all of the younger California voters who do not remember Governor Jerry Moonbeam Brown.
Brown was a horrid Governor and I don’t think Californians will give him another bite of the apple.

2010 California Gubernatorial General Election: Meg Whitman (R) vs Jerry Brown (D)
2010 Governor from Rasmussen:
- 43% Brown (D), 39% Whitman (R)
- 45% Brown (D), 35% Poizner (R)
- 43% Feinstein (D), 42% Whitman (R)
- 43% Feinstein (D), 39% Poizner (R)
In the latest Rasmussen poll ol’ crusty Democrat Jerry Brown barely leads former e-Bay CEO Meg Whitman. Brown does better against California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner. But, the latest California Field Poll has Whitman far ahead of Poizner for the Republican nomination.
With the California economy in the dumper, I doubt that voters will be too happy electing a retread 70 year old whose lack of leadership was paramount during his first tenure as Governor decades ago. When Whitman cranks up the advertising, Brown’s numbers will fall like a rock.
By the way, Feinstein is comfy in the U.S. Senate and will stay there.

All Registered Voters:
2010 Governor: General Election (all match-ups)
- Brown 50%, Whitman 29%
- Brown 48%, Campbell 27%
- Brown 50%, Poizner 25%
- Whitman 31%, Newsom 40%
- Newsom 38%, Campbell 33%
- Newsom 39%, Poizner 30%
Meg Whitman looked at one time as a very viable candidate but her lack of candor about her voting record has damaged her credibility. It will be difficult for her to crawl back into the race.
California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner has the ability to self-fund a big media campaign but has failed to catch-on voterwise. He may be the front-runner at the present time – despite the current polling because of his potential.
Former Congressman Tom Campbell is a moderte Republican but charismatically he is no Pete Wilson and will not motivate the GOP base of donors.
The REAL race may be between “Any Two-some” Newsom and Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin “Whether You Like it or Not” Newsom
Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner must be dancing this morning.
Former President Bill Clinton is backing San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom for California governor over state Attorney Gen. Jerry Brown, potentially upending next year’s Democratic race to succeed Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Clinton’s decision to appear on Oct. 5 alongside one of his wife’s top backers in her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination comes at a critical time for the San Franciso mayor: Although Newsom has built a substantial Facebook and Twitter following among younger voters, Brown, a former two-term governor, has raised more than twice as much money as he has.
Clinton’s trip to California next month is expected to include an event in predominantly Latino East Los Angeles as well as a high-dollar fundraiser.
While the endorsement of a former president is big news in any state, the former chairman of the California Democratic Party thinks it could be especially significant in California, a state where Clinton has had a strong following ever since he beat Brown in the state’s 1992 presidential primary.
These are delusions of grandeur on the part of Newsom and the California Far Left. Jerry Brown has the support of mainstream labor and will pillage Newsom with television ads next Spring before the June 2010 Democrat Primary election.
California voters are disgruntled in any event(tired of decades of Democrat control of the Legislature) and the REAL race for California Governor is between the two Republicans, Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner. Californians will not vote for an old man retread pol or a young morally challenged San Francisco Mayor.
Flap looks forward to the divisive Democrat primary though.

Comedian / actress Wanda Sykes and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), right, arrive at the Human Rights Campaign’s 2009 Los Angeles Gala and Hero Awards, Saturday, March 14, 2009, in Los Angeles
She is 75 years old – for the most important of a few reasons.
Looking at California Attorney General and former Governor Jerry Brown at a news conference announcing prosecution of the Anna Nicole Smith miscreants this past week, how can you spell old?
And, Brown is not quite 71.
The Democrat nomination race will be between two much younger candidates: Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Brown will run and split the vote, though.
