The Koch brothers refuse to be pushed around

Philip Ellender, President, Government and Public Affairs for Koch Companies Public Sector, LLC, responds to another scurrilous attack by the Obama administration.
Your letter never addresses the fundamental issue I raised concerning the impropriety of a sitting President and his campaign publicly attacking two private citizens for exercising their free speech rights. While we encourage and welcome a principled and civil debate about the important issues our great nation faces, it is inappropriate and beneath the office of the President to denounce an American company like ours that employs 50,000 people here in the United States, malign its owners with repeated misstatements and distortions, and harass our effort to speak out just because you disagree with our consistent support for the principles of a free society.
And speaking of private citizens, let’s make sure and return Obama to that status this November.

  1. Are these unwarranted and scurrilous attacks by the media and other Administration allies the first stirrings of the Brown Shirts reborn?

    One has to wonder.

  2. JeffS, my only wonder is that it isn't widely recognized as such!

  3. ...it is inappropriate and beneath the office of the President...

    That would really strike home, if only we had a man with class and decency in the office. He has done more to denigrate the office of the President than anyone else could possibly do.

  4. Rebecca, you stole my comment.

    When the Current Occupant lives in the gutter, the only place lower is the sewer.

    And that's where he's taking this country.

  5. JeffS,
    Actually, I thought the first stirrings of the Brown Shirts reborn were those crowds chanting "O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma" during the IWon's campaign. Everytime I heard or heard about those chants, I thought they were saying "Sieg Heil". To put the icing on the cake, the Purple Shirted People Beaters and other avatars of the IWon started attacking citizens opposing him.

    Soon some Presidential Czar or Federal "law enforcement officer" may demand I write the as "Him", under threat of some penatly. Feh.
