Another company to add to the list of the viciously self-interested Exxon, Phillip Morris, and Monsanto: Koch. The article highlights the much more eye-catching anti-Obama move, but much more insightful is later in the article describing millions spent against environmental legislation and funding global warming deniers. Presumably if global warming never comes about, the Kochs will make a lot of money and be lauded as great small government philanthropists and captains of industry. Of course, if they're wrong and the dire predictions about Global Warming are true, the Koch brothers will go down in history as one of the greatest of the selfish, myopic corporate scumbags.
It also unfortunately paints the Tea Party, who they fund, as fundamentally anti-environmental, which doesn't respect the thousands of hunters and fishermen who make up their ranks.

The ignorance, sometimes self-imposed, of the Tea Party members keeps them from understanding that their patriotism is being used to further the monetary interests of people like the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch.
