A lot of people attack "the Koch Brothers"; many of them are
fundamentalists in the usual sense of the term. One easy way to tell a
fundy here: they haven't read anything or heard them speak at any
length. The easiest way: When the Kochs are labeled "right-wing". (Hint:
they're Libertarians.) "The
Kochs" can also give you a quick read on someone's approach to
politics. If a person calls them "right wing", then you're probably
dealing with someone who's a rube or a demagogue on this topic.
A bunch of cool stuff in this Freakanomics interview with Charles-- on life,
business and politics. My favorite factoid: the Kochs' activism started
with their profound disappointment with Bush II, including the Harriet
Myers cronyistic appointment attempt.
