On Edit: Here's link to actual ad I saw.
Just saw mind-blowing freeking commercial by and for the Koch Brothers evil corporatocracy.
a freaking shwarmy commercial, warm & fuzzy music, saying how awesome Koch Industries is, making better food, better housing, for all of us ... blah blah blah.
They are not just "coming out" as capitalist fascists, they are stampeding out, to try to turn themselves -- and fascism -- into a fucking BRAND.
Really?
This is totally nuts man.

For example, if you own a computer, cell or smart phone, car or kitchen appliance it most likely contains components made by Molex, a Koch company.
Its hard to avoid them.
