The Tea Party Funding - The Koch Brothers?

Charles and David Koch have denied any part in the astro-turfing of the Tea Party movement. But investigative reporting by Tacky Oldham, director of Astro Turf Wars, found very direct evidence that this was bullshit. Using tax records, mayor found that Koch controlled foundations gave out $196 million from 1998 to 2008,. much of it to conservative causes and institutions. That figure doesn't include the 50 million in Koch industry's lobbying and 4.8 million in campaign contributions by its political action committee.
