Why are we supposed to be against the Koch Brothers again?
Serious question.
They fund FreedomWorks, Reason Foundation, Cato Institute, Institute for Justice. Not sure why we're supposed to be against them exactly. Seems like Lew Rockwell just hates them because they aren't anarchists.

Its on of those internal rivalries that hurts the movement and prevents it from gaining any traction.
Cato/Reason refuses to associate with Mises/JBS. Stuff like that.
didn't people get annoyed sorta when they both took a shine to sec' trey grayson and william johnson but not gurley L. martin or rand paul?
why don't we wait until they do an obvious likewise!!! why rile the two of them up until they do a likewise faux-pas!! lets think party unity!
The animosity seems mostly one sided to me. LRC trashes Cato/Reason constantly but you almost never see Reason/Cato trashing us.

I love CATO and Reason. While I also love Mises, it would be a shame to see one man gain control over such an important movement, no matter who the man is.

thanks for the info , was wondering what all this was about.
Cato/Reason was very tough on Ron Paul 4 years ago. Also Cato/Reason is "Bob Barr" type of libertarian.
FreedomWorks was mentioned by the OP, they are the leading fake Tea Party "chaired by former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey".

No, they are far from the "Bob Barr" type of libertarian.
Here is just one example:
