They mean the Bradley Foundation and Americans for Prosperity.

Not the John Birch Society.

You've probably seen them around. They're one of the powerful forces behind the Tea Party. David Koch (billionaire) funded.


A better article about the Koch vs. Wisconsin Collective Bargaining issue is here:

They're attacking the John Birch Society because Fred Koch (Koch Industries Founder) and Harry Bradley (Bradley Foundation Founder) were members of the John Birch Society.

I hope I don't get in trouble for bumping this but I found this thread via Google. The fact that the MSM tried to even link the JBS with the racist, neoconservative organization like the Bradley Foundation disgusts me. I think it's shameful that some good libertarian groups take money from the eugenics pedaling clowns at the Bradley Foudnation...
