re: #23 Charles

… It’s a front group for all kinds of bad people, including the tobacco industry,

I checked the link you recommended and could not find a connection between AFP and the tobacco industry. Do you have some other evidence?

As for the other “bad people” you mentioned, the link mostly talks about the Koch Family Foundation and says the following:

Koch Family Foundations is funded by Koch Industries. According to Forbes, Koch Industries is the second largest privately-held company, and the largest privately owned energy company, in the United States. Koch industries has made its money in the oil business, primarily oil refining. Presently, it holds stakes in pipelines, refineries, fertilizer, forest products, and chemical technology.


Is this the basis for them being labeled “bad people?” Or do you have evidence of some crime the Koch Family Foundations or Koch Industries has committed? Or is simply being in the energy, pipelines, refining, fertilizer, products, and chemical technology businesses prima facie evidence of criminal activity… or simply “badness”?
