[Hoot Gibson]

I agree with you in much you state here, and, in fact, in an earlier post expressed the dubious nature of Soros' "financial wrangling." However, I cannot concur that the Koch brothers are simply benevolent do gooders any more than I can ignore the philanthropy of Soros. Were both weighed in some sort of morality scale, I am not prepared to state what the metre might register. You are prepared to state. In this, we disagree.

Can you give a single example where the Koch brothers did anything comparable to destablizing a nation's currency for personal gain? IMO, there is no amount of philanthropy that can make up for such a deed.

Also, you speak exclusively about Soros's philanthropy as though the Koch family is filled with clones of Ebenezer Scrooge.

Beyond the Boogeyman

Admittedly, my political philosophy is much closer to the Koch brothers than to Soros, but politics aside, the Koch brothers have done nothing to warrant the demonization of the liberal media. The same media rarely explains how Soros became so wealthy. Nor do they detail the personal suffering that Soros has caused in accumulating his fortune.
