(44,173 posts)I'd rather not sit through a 7 minute video about the Kochs.
And is it a real threat or just political rhetoric and chest thumping?

(8,514 posts)I used to have dial-up and never could watch videos without a long load time. Never bothered unless the summary described a can't miss video.
Just telling me it's can't miss isn't enough.
Now that I have high-speed, I don't have a sound card, so loading a video is a waste of time. So, once again, a summary would be nice.
Edited to add that I watch Rachel regularly, so I don't need to load this video to know what's in it. I'm just supporting the concept of a short description.

(2,354 posts)as much as I like Rachel -- and this seemed to be a
pretty good clip -- I'm with you. I lacked the patience
needed to sit through 7 minutes of video, while I
could be clicking through text links & other browser
tabs.
My attention wandered, while I pursued other topics,
from other tabs.
Here's a decent summary, though:

Best fact uncovered by Rachel:
David Koch once minted (golden?) dimes with his
own head on them.
(Whether or not he passed them out to passing
street urchins and shoe shine boys, like John D.
Rockefeller, back in the day, was not disclosed.)

(793 posts)...its worth the seven minutes to watch Rachel undress their cowardice and narcissism. Remember, folks, the Koch Bros. are building their big, bad database "THEMIS, or SHAMUS" or whatever its called. And if your names not in it when they pull their little fascist coup in November, well no porridge for you!
