DSCC (Dem Sen Campaign Committee) asking Koch Brothers for Cash (Murray, leader)

[sanrene]

Hilarious! The Koch Bros, who are the new bogey men for the Left/dems, getting hit up for funds from the people who have been demonizing them, unsuccessfully btw.

The Kochs have become a major target of Democratic ire recently -- but that hasn't stopped the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from asking their company for money.

What's even better? The response from Koch.

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.

Golden!

Wow! You are easily amused. They got a form letter and a robo call.

Do you think Patty Murray was calling a "past supporter" by actually calling the Koch's??????


What's your address....I'll mail you my next GOP fundraising letter....you can post it here...LOL

I saw this on the news last night. I think they should have mailed her Monopoly money.

Surprised they had this on the news.

Look at the pathetic response;

Ummmm...yeah. Read the link.

The Koch Brothers are major Republican donors and have become a political target of the left in recent months, but they have actually donated to Democrats and the DSCC before. The Kochs donated almost $200,000 to the Democratic organizations in 2010 and $30,000 to DSCC in the same cycle.

Aww....now they say it was all just a "staff error".

Hilarious!

I imagine the Koch Bros are like an unlanced boil to the Left - they have beaten them at every turn.
