Social Security- a "ponzi scheme?"

[Tupac Shakur]

I love how you're too stupid to recognize the difference between polemicists and objective reporters.

[Dinner]

No, I said I don't always agree with his opinions but he is excellent about collecting facts. Facts which wing nuts, such as yourself, don't like and try to dismiss and pretend are not real. That said those facts are still entirely true even though you don't like them. It's not a complicated point, draky-poo, so please stop being deliberately obtuse.

[Tupac Shakur]

You still don't seem to understand what a polemicist is or how they operate.

[Dinner]

Oh, I do. I also completely understand how you usually try to dismiss inconvenient facts with glib one liners which completely miss the point, deliberately no doubt.

[Tupac Shakur]

Please tell us more about the incontrovertible "facts" behind the Koch Brothers conspiracy theory.

[Dinner]

That they fund the majority of the budget of their astroturf groups, that if anyone in those groups doesn't toe the party line they're fired, and even if the data points that their position is wrong they insist it all be spun to support their preconceived conclusion. This is called bad science and ideological nonsense. It's not complicated, you drooling idiot.

[Tupac Shakur]

No links? Where the evidence for all these "facts"?

Well, I'll be nice and provide everyone a link to the beginning of the Koch Brothers conspiracy theory so they can see just how serious and reality-based it is.*

Spoiler:

* Don't get me wrong; I love reading The Exile. That being said, I'm not a ****ing mouth-breathing moron like Oerdin who would actually take their polemics at face value.

[Dinner]

Oh, yes. You are most certainly a mouth breathing moron. A decade of posting here has proved that if nothing else.

[Tupac Shakur]

Wrong again, as usual. I haven't even been on the site a year yet.

[Dinner]

Sure you haven't, Drake. You ****ing liar. As usual.

[Tupac Shakur]

Here's a link to a whole bunch of articles on the Koch Brothers conspiracy theory, in case anyone is interested.

It's not a conspiracy theory, it is simply a fact. I know you don't like facts but they're real all the same.

Don't worry, Oerdin. I sympathize with you. I still believe in Santa Claus and think that fluoridated water is a communist conspiracy.

In total, the Koch brothers have given more than 196 million dollars to dozens of free-market and advocacy organizations,

200 million? They really have nothing better to do with that money than donate it to ********* at the Cato Institute?

[Hauldren Collider]

Cato institute does pretty good studies, actually. They're certainly more clued into reality than Obama's economic team*. You just disagree with them politically.

*based on Drake's data

Also there's the wonderful fact that as Sharon Angle and Carly Fiorina showed, at the end of the day, dumping money on an election isn't enough to throw it. The voters have to actually agree with your message.
