Question - since the Koch Bros have ties to Stalin, & their followers call our President a Socialist

Why isn't this message getting out there?

It's just like when I get into an argument with a repug and they start calling the Dems the party of Alinsky, or heaven-forbid being funded by Soros, and I bring up the Koch Bros, they have no idea what I am talking about.

Fake News keeps repeating the meme that the Democrats are a socialist, Marxist party - when in FACT (those pesky facts again)
it is the Republicans that should have that label.

The Koch Bros are even tied to the extremists on the Supreme Court - the Supreme Court that will most likely dismantle that socialist takeover called Obamacare.


Yes, I know that the Koch Brothers now have a Libertarian view, but their family has ties to Stalin.
If they can say President Obama pals around with terrorists, we can definitely push them back with their own shit sandwich.

Curious to hear others thoughts on this.
I'll check back later.
