Koch "His father was a hard core economic socialist in Kenya..."

Bonus Quote of the Day
"His father was a hard core economic socialist in Kenya... So he had sort of antibusiness, anti-free enterprise influences affecting him almost all his life. It just shows you what a person with a silver tongue can achieve."

-- Conservative activist David Koch, in an interview with the Weekly Standard, on President Obama.

These bastards will say anything, and it never gets challenged.

I am sure you've noticed.

the father's politics.

They have untold riches, and they are using them against decent people in this nation. These guys want to own us. An extraordinary article; thanks for posting.

I'm keeping this picture:

being a founding member of the John Birch society. They can tell you how great that is. They are oh so pro-America and Christian and the original intention of the U.S. Constitution (as they declare it to be). Gee the only reason it's against civil rights and regulation and unions and the UN and social programs and all that is because they are socialist, communist, oh and so against the 10th amendment.

Obama sr failed to offer any such legacy.

It is wild that a Koch would dare to diss someone else for what they feel is the dad's values.
They must think Obama was a super intelligent infant and toddler to have absorbed all of his dad's ideas before dad left when he was two years old.

disabled and the senior citizens.

I'll take that hardcore socialist from Kenya over you anyday, you fascist pig.

The kock money was made with the Nazis and the communists.
Sp any money the kock boys have is tainted.
The teabaggers are financed from this money
Teabaggers are backed from Nazi and communist money
Light that up and see how the teabaggers like those facts

That they think "hard core economic socialist" are an inheritable trait.

Have they been sniffing Koch?

And be sure to keep the pool boy job open for him next year at this time.

how could a poor person possibly know anything but... socialism?

These people are PIGS

Well known, thought everybody realized that. Koch inherited the "I'm rich, so fuck you" gene, also from his father. Thought everybody knew that too.

"His father was a hard core right wing capitalist working for Stalin... So he had sort of antidemocracy, anti-government/worker influences affecting him almost all his life. It just shows you what a person with a silver tongue can achieve."

1. How do you know this?

2. Even if it's true, what does that have to do with Barack Obama himself? He barely knew his father.

Do they put these talking points in a can and ship them to the repukes?

Anyone else tired of hearing the same crap from the wingnuts?

He's not looking into the crimes committed by your company or your quasi-legal funding of anti-government organizations.

So you'd best not be dissing him now.

Barack Obama's father left his son and eventually divorced his mother all before the age of four. The president saw his biological father only once after that in 1971. For Koch to say this is not only delusional but insulting to the parent that actually influenced Barack - his mother Stanley Ann.

EDIT ADD: As well, his maternal grandparents Madelyn and Stanley were strong influences on the future president.

In other words, he wasn't raised by Obama SR.
