The Kochs are scared, and they’ve bought the web domains to prove it

Charles and David Koch, and their related businesses, have poured money into politicking across the country. In Wisconsin alone, they were Gov. Scott Walker’s largest out-of-state contributor, and they famously bought all kinds of advertisements and electioneering courtesy of their Tea Party group Americans for Prosperity.

They aren’t done. The folks on the ground fighting back in Wisconsin now discovered another dimension to the Kochs’ dirty tactics.

The brothers are buying up web domain names. The equivalent of facebook.com or google.com, the Kochs’ have bought:

StopKoch.com
StopKochIndustries.com
AntiKoch.com
That’s in addition to their KochFacts.com page, which they’ve used to attack us and journalists who have written about us and the Kochs’ laundry list of dirty deeds and self-serving ideology.http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2011/08/23/the-kochs-are-scared-and-theyve-bought-the-web-domains-to-prove-it/

Edited on Wed Aug-24-11 07:54 AM by SpiralHawk

Which could do double duty as a, um, sexual abstinence site...

There are a Brazillion possibilities.

The Koch boy-Os could blow a big wad trying to, um, nail them all down...

7. They should be scared--scared straight

Alternatively, they could be arrested and charged with treason.

8. What are they offering per domain?

Maybe we can all pitch in and invest in the hundreds of possibilities out there that will attract their interest?

I can't afford to buy any right now, so snap them up quick:

LimpKoch.com

MakeKochLimp.com

KockShrinkage.com

MakeKochShrink.com

MakeKochImpotent.com

ShrinkKoch.com

TinyKoch.com

MakeKochTiny.com

KochShrivel.com

2Kochs1Cup.com (okay, don't use this one)

And for non-penis ones:

KochOnTheRocks.com

MakeKochBroke.com

It just takes a little creativity to get around it.
