TYT: Koch Brother Minions Booed At Montana Medicaid Townhall



"Dozens of voters shouted down paid staffers from a Koch brothers advocacy group that targeted a Montana Republican lawmaker who is open to expanding Medicaid in his state.

State Rep. Frank Garner has refused to sign a blanket pledge against expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, and Americans for Prosperity-Montana is campaigning against him and two other lawmakers — state Reps. Jeff Welborn and Tom Berry — who have done the same.

The Koch-sponsored group is blanketing their House districts with mailers that show each lawmaker’s face superimposed over a photograph of President Barack Obama.

The Koch Party is using money to Attack even staunch Republicans who do not tow their line...it is legalized corruption in front of our eyes, the hijacking of democracy by the monied and the theocrats.

TYT is the media the other media used to be before they too were corrupted and made to tow the line.
