I know most here are familiar with them, but I have to believe all this national attention on the Koch brothers and their organizations is not sitting well with them at all. Put that in the "win" column.

1. Unless, of course, they felt this was the time to step up and be crowned
I've wondered about this for a week and one-half.

Why do something that would so clearly expose themselves, unless they had showered, shaved, and dressed for the occassion?

5. They didn't "clearly expose themselves" ,Walker exposed
them by taking a prank call seriously.

7. Well, even before the phone call the public power plant--Walker donations
was as obvious as a fertile baboons red butt during estrus.

This wasn't subtle. The roll out of advertising supporting legislation that had NOT YET BEEN READ IN COMMITEE was pretty bloody obvious.

Why? The Kochs haven't been so stupid before this time.

8. I have always felt that when these peoples names
become household words, they lost some of their effectiveness. Rove would have been better off if people had remained unaware of him. He still got away with dirty tricks, but many people were wary who would not have been otherwise. And don't be fooled - negative publicity hurts them.

Atwater was better off working behind the scenes. And we have Madigan in Illinois. I do think he is one of the most powerful Democrats in the country. Many people, even in Illinois, do not know who he is. He is the speaker of the house in Illinois, and the head of our party. No one does anything without his approval. Even Rove would not come here to pull dirty tricks during the 2004 election. He knew they would not work here. I think Madigan is a big part of the reason for that.

6. Yeah if you had any doubts before this should clear it up for you
But the sad part is that the Teabaggers\Teahadist still won't get it. Like Scottie said to the person he was talking to.

Koch: Well, I tell you what, Scott: once you crush these bastards I’ll fly you out to Cali and really show you a good time.

Walker: "All right, that would be outstanding. Thanks for all the support…it’s all about getting our freedoms back…"

And the right wing morons will lap it up hook, line, and sinker.

10. The right wing morons don't matter. The middle who watch
an hour of news every night matter.

14. Here's one of the freedoms they want back:
Ranney: Repealing child labor laws in Missouri has benefits for GOP

At last the Missouri Republican General Assembly has come up with a great idea -- repeal the child labor laws.

This proposal not only allows the Republican Party to finally fly its true colors in all their gory (Oops, that should have been glory. Sorry.), but gives the GOP several ways to crow about it. I can hear them now in the campaigns of 2012.

11. We are making progress
a few years back, NO ONE even knew who they were. Well, maybe a few did, but now look.

Rushbo had to mention them today and tried to defend them. "Cream of the crop of conservative philanthropist" Philanderers is more accurate~

That's what taking to the streets can do for you.

18. Even the NBC evening news mentioned them (because of the crank call)
Of course, I don't expect any kind of in-depth investigation beyond that, but it's something.
