Profile of Koch brothers misguided
The author of the article obviously doesn t like the Kochs and, more importantly, doesn t like their politics, their privacy or their philanthropy.

Their funding is devoted to promoting free-market capitalism, not crony capitalism.

Boycott Koch Products
This will be short but sweet. It has been well-documented as to the creepy and anti-progressive policies that the Koch brothers support.
