Koch brothers launching ad campaign to improve public image

Koch Industries, which produces goods ranging from Angel Soft toilet paper to iPhone parts, is adopting a more visible strategy to neutralize critics on the left and promote a warm, patriotic image of its multinational empire.

The best thing they could do would be to crawl down a hole and never come back out.

launched his attempt to take over the world.

I think people would have figured it out soon enough.

Was this the brain child of that Goebbels disciple they hired to run their propaganda campaign to convince Americans fascism is not such the bad thing that the liberals make it out to be?

As it all goes south in the face of the surreal calm and supreme intelligence of Twice elected and Thrice more popular than Congress President Obama, the best advice this hired hound of hell can come up with is throw even more money at demonizing democracy and the President, AND toss more green at making yourselves angels.

Throw more money at the media by buying ads in such massive cash buckets they will be obligated to go along with the charade just for a while more is the sub plot.

I would have given you that advice at half the price, cheap advice because that it is all you got or ever had.
