Michele Bachmann: ‘Thank God’ for putting the Koch brothers ‘on our side’

[kpete]

- Koch maintained his and his brother’s political efforts are not for their own benefit, but for the country’s greater good. “All the other large companies, or the great majority of them, are promoting some kind of special cronyism where they’re undermining economic freedom.” Although he deems low-wage workers part of a “culture of dependency” on the government, Koch Industries is on the receiving end of oil subsidies, government contracts, and bailouts.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) recently suggested that God had sent billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch to help the Republican Party.

“I just thank God that there’s a billionaire or two on our side,” Bachmann told conservative radio host Lars Larson during an interview at the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference. “All the billionaires seem to be on the radical left, so I’m glad that we have a couple on ours.”

The Minnesota Republican asserted that Democrats were part of “an intimidation movement” to stop billionaires from supporting conservative causes.


“I’m sure that the donors on our side don’t like to have their names vilified and that’s what this is about, intimidating people from giving money to our cause, that’s it,” she opined, adding that Democrats should be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for their intimidation of billionaires.

1. Michele has confused God with Satan.

3. Beat me to it

Although I am loath to ascribe human greed to dubious deities of any stripe, a cursory glance at any so-called holy writ in comparison to the goals of the execrable Kochs reveals nothing but evil intent.

2. "our side". I thought our side was supposed

to be the citizens of the USA, not a single warped economic philosophy.

4. Why is this corrupt bat shit crazy woman still given so much airplay

She can't run again because of campaign finance issues and her party refuses to run her out of the House. How are so many corrupt and vile ReTHUGs never called out on their deeds.
