Robert Greenwald is taking the fight to billionaires David and Charles Koch, who fund much of the US's rightwing politics

"Even for the Lincoln Centre it was an unusual show, and an unscheduled one. Several hundred protesters turned up outside the arts complex on Manhattan's Upper West Side last week for the guerrilla screening of a short film. From a hotel on the other side of the street, a video was projected on to the centre's walls. The unwitting stars of the films were David and Charles Koch, the reclusive rightwing billionaire brothers whose secretive empire and network of influence and funding is emerging as a liberal rallying cause in America."

Craigslist ad for right-wing commenters draws suspicion and a few giggles | Posted | National Post

“Your writing must be strong, right-wing and use the supplied talking points without being bogged down in too much detail,” the ad reads. “You are creating an online persona with a consistent tone.”

Successful applicants will be compensated at an hourly rate that is yet to be determined, according to the ad. “Bonuses for controversial postings that heat up a topic or forums thread.” Oh, and humour is most certainly encouraged.

Sadly, spelling is not this poster’s strong suit. The company urges applicants to find facts that will “stir controversey [sic],” and says they should be “repating [sic] key talking points,” in their posts. One need not submit a resume – a written audition will suffice. Applicants are asked to write a 100 word comment to correspond with a provided headline “Ignatieff Promises No Coallitions [sic] after Election.”

Behind Michigan's "Financial Martial Law": Corporations and Right-Wing Billionaires | Mother Jones

Behind Michigan's "Financial Martial Law": Corporations and Right-Wing Billionaires | Mother Jones


"The think tank that inspired Gov. Rick Snyder's controversial bill is bankrolled by some of the same donors that funded Wisconsin's attack on unions." Wed Mar. 23, 2011 | Andy Kroll | Mother Jones

"The Mackinac Center’s is a fervent advocate of privatization—its scholars support outsourcing everything from public school districts to Amtrak to state prisons—and backs anti-union legislation for Michigan. In 2007, the center published "A Collective Bargaining Primer," advocating against mandatory unionization and automatic dues deductions for public school teachers and other public employees. Collective bargaining for teachers, the Center claims, "has become a significant deterrent to educational quality." In other words, if you outsource as much as you can and kneecap the unions, the quality of education—and presumably city services—increases.

That position is in line with the beliefs of its donors. In 2009, Amway and Wal-Mart were among the 3,100 businesses that signed a letter opposing the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), which would've made it easier for employees to unionize; that same year, Wal-Mart spent $7.4 million on lobbying, much of it to defeat EFCA. (The law failed.) The Koch brothers, meanwhile, fund an array of organizations opposed to unions, including the advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, the Cato Institute, and the Reason Foundation. With the Mackinaw Center, it seems, their investment is paying off."

Republican Party of Wisconsin attacks UW professor's right to speak -- but can't spell his name right

Republican Party of Wisconsin attacks UW professor's right to speak -- but can't spell his name right

"Why the attack? Because Cronon, the Frederick Jackson Turner and Vilas Research Professor of History, Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Rhodes Scholar and MacArthur Foundation fellow who has for decades been one of Wisconsin's most beloved public intellectuals, dared to raise questions about whether national right-wing think tanks and interest groups might be influencing the choices made by Gov. Scott Walker's administration to attack Wisconsin unions and initiate a power grab that even some Republicans worry will diminish democracy at the local level."
