While I totally agree with the concept, how do you make psycho/sociopaths answer any question honestly?

On top of Old Smokey. Here is a partial list of the corporate charitable giving of tobacco companies in the US. While the largess is appreciated by the recipients, and admired by many, regardless of motivations, nonetheless, pointing out this generosity is not a very strong argument to throw in the faces of those concerned about and critical of the health hazards attributable to profiting from the promotion of cigarette smoking. Likewise the charitable giving by the Koch brothers is not likely to deflect critics of their plans to defy and dismantle environmental regulation and to buy elections and destroy labor and the middle class in this country.
AIDS. Tobacco companies provided funding to at least 42 different AIDS service organizations. The centerpiece of tobacco industry support for AIDS patients is Philip Morris with its sponsorship of the Positive Helpings program — support which provides money to aid the nutritional needs of people living with HIV.
Charities/Causes. Tobacco companies have supported a wide variety of general charities including: humanitarian organizations (Christian Relief Services), health and human services (including the American Red Cross of Louisville and Hospice groups) and disaster relief (Hurricane Floyd) — as well as legal services (Association of the Bar of the City of New York Fund).
Domestic Violence. Through the Doors of Hope initiative, Philip Morris provided grants totaling $2 million to 180 organizations across the country to support food and meals, emergency shelter, counseling and other aid to victims of domestic violence.
Education. The industry supported programs at colleges and universities across the country, including the Universities of Central Florida, Louisville, Kentucky, Rochester and Virginia, as well as Duke, MIT and North Carolina State University among others. The largest contribution identified was $3 million to the University of Louisville in 1996 for completion of a football stadium.
Environment. The industry supported organizations that promote the protection and restoration of water and land resources — and supported many environmental conferences, including the Drinking Water/Pollution Prevention Forum and the Keep America Beautiful national conference.
Festivals. The industry supported a multitude of festivals including the Kentucky Derby Festival and the Wisconsin Sesquicentennial.
Hunger. Tobacco companies made contributions to the efforts to fight hunger in the United States with donations to more than l00 local organizations, including the Helping the Helpers program, which provides donations under emergency circumstances to food pantry programs, soup kitchens and the elderly.
Minorities. The industry is a major giver to minority groups, particularly African-American groups, including the National Convention of the National Black Chamber of Commerce and art exhibits featuring African-American artists.
Performing Arts. Tobacco donations went to the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts and the New York City Opera among many others.
Politics and Government. Dr. Siegel identified 12 events or organizations in this category, including sponsorship of trips to conferences and seminars paid for by tobacco companies. The tobacco companies also sponsored the Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates in 1996 and the annual meetings of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in l998 and 1999.
Sports. Tobacco companies sponsored a variety of sports events, including the Senior PGA Tour Vantage Championship. - 1 year ago

HEY, LEFT-WINGERS! READ THIS:
"Mr. Koch, a billionaire who is perhaps best known for his family’s contributions to conservative causes, got a standing ovation from scientists, Nobel laureates and politicians of various political stripes as he opened the new David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he gave $100 million to help build."

Koch brothers have a vested interest in the pipeline project. But getting them to testify before Congress is impossible.

How about we get Soros in front of Congress. He invested billions in Petrobras and then Obummer took several billion from us to invest with them also so that Brazil could ink a deal with China to send the oil there.

They're more than insidious -- they are all-out, total FUCKS that need to be stopped however necessary! I'm thinking drones -- if Obama can use them at will to kill OTHER terrorists then he needs to send them into the koch[sucker]s compound!

NOw, now. We can't use the drones unless they get off U.S. soil. Then we can claim them as the terrorists they are and use a drone strike.

Belt fed are automatic weapons that feed from a belt, either disintegrating links or the older cloth type. Not sub guns, these are rifle calibers usually 8mm, 7.62x59mm or cal .30 M2.
Just a question since you advocate the use of drone attacks to do away with the Kochs I was wondering if you are open mined enough to apply your own reasoning to others trying to destroy us. I think it is more than a little overboard but you seem to be bent on killing people for their political position and support. Thankfully not all of us here share your views. Me, I prefer the ballot box. - 1 year ago

The koch[suckers] are truly evil people -- if they had simply gone on living their very wealthy lives without doing everything in their power to force their John Birch beliefs on everyone in this country, and if they weren't getting richer at the expense of everyone around them (see the Glen Greenwald films) I wouldn't care one way or the other what they think or do, but they forced me to think about them with their FASCIST drivel designed to destroy democracy and true capitalism. And I fully realize that you do not, and will probably never, see them this way and that is your prerogative, but if I allow you to have your mistaken opinions then you are required to RESPECT mine as well.

YOu can think whatever you want. It does not insulate you from the fact that you are wrong and I don't agree with you. I guess in your world if you support something you don't agree with that makes them evil. Liberal thinking provides for the extermination of those you don't agree with. THAT is fascism along with the 99%
