You mean to say, that corporations get involved in politics in order to help foster conditions conducive to their business interests? Well O to the M to the G. That’s just…not shocking at all, unless you’re a half-wit Sorosbot by the name of Matt Yglesias.
But since Mattie is all in a lather about the eeeevil Koch brothers and their political motivations, let’s turn the beat around and ask: Just what motivates George Soros to pour millions into the likes of Media Matters, the Center for American Progress (parent of Think Progress, where Yglesias learns how the world really works while we watch), American Independent Media, the Open Society Institute, and assorted other left wing outfits? Soros is a currency speculator and investor. Why is he investing so heavily in pundits who possess less knowledge of the world than your average snail?
And while we’re at it, why do the unions invest so heavily on one side of the political ledger? What’s really in it for them when Democrats get elected? Master Yglesias is so interested in the Koch Bros. Why isn’t he interested in figures and groups whose donations positively dwarf those of the Bros Koch?
Meanwhile, Obama-supporting GE reports profits up 77% with no payments of taxes, and Obama-supporting Apple gets sent to the corner by Greenpeace for using too much carbon.
Exactly, snork! GE, Google, and Apple are all sucking at the Obama Government teat – because of their political donations. And of course, the snearing Soros(who would be a great James Bond evil villain) is completely innocent of such chicanery, eh? /snark
Was Matt Yglesias on Journ-o-List? Does he freelance his partisan propaganda or is it a collaborative?
Either way… he is a true SorosMonkey
Yup, he was.
Because he’s a farging idiot attention-whore, and that’s what he’s paid to do.
Kinda like Hee-Haw without the intelligence.
