re: #342 wrenchwench

I don’t like the way you minimize the importance of the Birchers through snark.

David Koch is not a Bircher, but the importance attached to the Koch name by my colleague KGT to discredit CATO means that ANY member of that family is suspect, and their activities are always fringe.

That’s all.

To recap - David Koch’s father, who died in ‘67, was one of the first Birchers. His son, David, is not a Bircher, and he contributes to CATO. Because they share the same surname, though, CATO is smeared with Bircher tar.
