Tim Dickinson's fantastic expose of the Koch brothers in the latest issue of Rolling Stone has gotten plenty of attention. For very good reason: it's a well-sourced, deep dive into the very toxic—literally toxic—business that earned the Kochs enough money to buy up an entire political party. That and the wrongful death judgement, six felony and numerous misdemeanor convictions, the tens of millions of dollars in fines, and the trading with Iran are all included in the story, well worth your time.
No one has given it more attention, it seems, than the notoriously thin-skinned Kochs. In typical Koch fashion, they don't argue the facts of Dickinson's story. They attack Dickinson, who responds here. Here's the nut of his detailed response.
when attacked in your mind wrongly don't you normally deny instead of making a seemingly guilty move of" I ou are but what am I"?

 Dickinson then provides an exhaustive, 14-point taken down of each of the Kochs' complaints about his story, including every instance in which the Kochs do not actually dispute the facts that he has reported, but attempt to obfuscate them and whine about that fact that he reported them. They also don't acknowledge that Dickinson attempted to give them the opportunity to talk to him about his story while reporting, but they refused.
The Kochs clearly do not stand up well to close scrutiny, and clearly are not prepared for it. For some reason, probably because they're richer than god, they seem to assume that they should be able to swoop into our political system and attempt to buy it without being subject to close examination.

silence can be understood as confirmation or fear of exposure or that old "i'm not going to dignify that with an answer" well you would first have your accusation one of dignity not deception and skullduggery.  it's clear that they and others in their financial strata that right wing audacity of arrogance and entitlement is why they think they can dance in make a bid buy the republican party than on to the entire gov't tomorrow the nation,

voting for republican furthers the Koch agenda and stall your advancement Nov. 4th put a sock in their smoke stacks and eliminate those they have purchased to do their bidding, it's your life and we are responsible for our brothers especially when those you vote for to do so refuse and still take your paycheck, how much longer do we get punk'd?
