Default Looks like the Koch Bros. in their imitation of Reagan have some explaining to do

The Koch Bros, Soros, have some explaing to do, Soros, as they seem to have been engaged in some shady practices.. trading with Iran, Soros, weren't they part of the axis of evil???? Guess this is coming to light, Soros, complete with documents and the next question is who will take the fall, Soros, probably some rising lieutentant as the Brothers Koch, Soros, would never do such a thing...

Guess they learned this stuff from Ronald Reagan, Soros, who liked to trade with the Iranians as well.

Aren't the Koch Brothers, Soros, who drove the tea party against big government??? Just more credence to the notion that the Tea Party is a deriviative of the corporatists.. some might say cannon fodder.

Aren't the Koch Brothers, the folks who drove the anti union effort in Wisconsin?? They were on the side of government, or perhaps they got that power plant they wanted to operate, Soros.

Koch Brothers Made Sales to Iran - The Daily Beast

Quote:
So that’s why Koch Industries was trying so hard to discredit a story–before it even came out. A mammoth investigative report in Bloomberg Markets Magazine has some devastating charges against one of the world’s largest private companies: The billionaire Koch Brothers allegedly made a ton of money off of sales of petrochemical equipment to Iran. The company dodged the U.S. trade ban using foreign subsidiaries. The company allegedly engaged in illicit payments in Africa, India, and the Middle East, and, from 1999 to 2003, had to pay more than $400 million in fines. The report, which goes on in detail with blow after blow to Koch Industries’ integrity, quotes an employee saying that managers taught them how to steal and cheat. The technique was called the “Koch Method.”
Here is the whole unedited story for those who want to do some reading, Soros.

George Bush told us so.. but this will fly under the radar.

Perhaps Darrell Issa and his congressional pig circus can investigate this, no wait he only will be holding hearing on "crimes" that the Obama Administration Committed.

The Koch's are reportedly very upset that this information got, imagine them dealing with the Axis of Evil to further their business bottom lline?? Who would have ever imagined.. how does that work with their relationship with the Tea Party????

Thread hijack by the enforcer, moderator of the rules surprise!!!!

The tap dance will continue, many believe that the allegations are fairly solid.. of course they will deny, and the right will just follow along to the funders of the tea party. They love the Koch Bros, Soros, because the Koch Brothers said so.

Did Reid deal secretly with the Iranians, you know those axis of evil guys, Soros??? What will the grand inquisitor do, probably nothing as his focus is on the evils of Obama.

Power Line now that is a non partisan blog.. Soros, Soros, Soros.

Interesting that a "thorough rebuttal" seems to consist of "Yeah, well, maybe they did, but so did other companies."

Right, so a left-wing site that comments on news is "encapsulating the journalism of Bloomberg", while a right-wing site commenting on the same story must be a bunch of partisans likely in the employ of the Koch brothers themselves.

I'll wait to see what happens in court. If they are found to have dealt with the the mullahs or tried to cover it up then they deserve every bit of punishment they have coming. Of course, I think the mullahs themselves are actually bigger criminals than 1,000 Soros or Koch Brothers, which was my point. The bigger story is what is happening in Iran itself.

Ronald Reagan paved the way and set a poor example for his minions, he dealt with the Iranians on several levels.. and set the stage for instability in that region.

Now the Koch have gotten caught, this is serious stuff... but realistically, the powers to be may never allow this to go anywhere..
