Charles Koch has launched a brilliant video on his YouTube channel and is soon to kick off EconomicFreedom.org. Check out this video and pass it along:

UPDATE: While the Democrats and their ardent supporters take such perverse joy in demonizing the Koch Bros., it turns out DSCC Chair Senator Patty Murray had no problem asking them for a substantial campaign donation…
Senator Patty Murray, Chair
Democratic Senatorial Campaign CommitteeDear Senator Murray:
For many months now, your colleagues in the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee leadership have engaged in a series of disparagements and ad hominem attacks about us, apparently as part of a concerted political and fundraising strategy. Just recently, Senator Reid wrote in a DSCC fundraising letter that Republicans are trying to “force through their extreme agenda faster than you can say ‘Koch Brothers.’”
So you can imagine my chagrin when I got a letter from you on June 17 asking us to make five-figure contributions to the DSCC. You followed that up with a voicemail* indicating that, if we contributed heavily enough, we would garner an invitation to join you and other Democratic leaders at a retreat in Kiawah Island this September.
I’m hoping you can help me understand the intent of your request because it’s hard not to conclude that DSCC politics have become so cynical that you actually expect people whom you routinely denounce to give DSCC money.
It is troubling that private citizens taking part in the discourse have become the targets of White House and DSCC fundraising missives, and we would certainly encourage you to rethink that approach. Ultimately, I expect voters will see through that and will weigh the issues on the merits alone. But in the meantime, if you could provide me some insight on what exactly you are asking of us and why, I would be most grateful.
Sincerely,
Philip Ellender

And as if that wasn’t funny enough, the woman had the gall to place a follow-up call when she didn’t hear back from them! Listen to Senator Murray’s voicemail here.

Liberal: “We don’t have any rational basis to believe the Kochs are evil… but Think Progress and Huffington Post say so, so we’re going to endlessly repeat that they are!” </i<
Not only do I like boys, but I am a bona-fide Koch-sucker…
And that, my friends, was built from scratch, and is the essence of the American dream.
Let them demonize those good men all they wish. Doesn’t change the fact that Koch Industries represents the very ideal of American Exceptionalism.
Nick, good one! I just fb-liked it.

Patty Murray is a Koch sucker.
