Koch brothers’ Tea Party connections confirmed [VIDEO]30
  by Brendan DeMelle

 13 Oct 2010 4:59 PM The billionaire Koch brothers have long claimed
that they have no direct connection to the Tea Party, denying that
their vast oil wealth is directly funding corporate front groups like
Americans For Prosperity (AFP), the key organizers of the fake
grassroots Tea Party movement.

David Koch told New York Magazine earlier this year, "I’ve never been
to a tea-party event. No one representing the tea party has ever even
approached me."

But the Guardian reports that footage has emerged showing David Koch
at the podium during an AFP gala receiving direct and detailed reports
from his astroturf AFP army on their efforts to organize tea parties
around the nation.

Corporate America Faked a Grassroots Revolution:

Charles and David Koch's company, Koch Industries, the largest private
corporation in America, has also denied direct links to the Tea Party,
as Jane Meyer reported in her extensive piece in The New Yorker on the
Koch brothers:

In April, 2009, Melissa Cohlmia, a [Koch Industries] spokesperson,
denied that the Kochs had direct links to the Tea Party, saying that
Americans for Prosperity is “an independent organization and Koch
companies do not in any way direct their activities.” Later, she
issued a statement: “No funding has been provided by Koch companies,
the Koch foundations, or Charles Koch or David Koch specifically to
support the tea parties.”

Yet Greenpeace and others have documented the extensive funding
flowing from the Koch brothers through their Koch family foundations
to AFP and other front groups working on behalf of corporate America
to stop progress on healthcare reform, climate, and energy policy.

With this new footage clearly showing David Koch interacting with his
Tea Party foot soldiers, the Kochtopus definitely has some 'splainin'
to do.
