Democrats bash their own, Koch Brothers gave DSCC $30K last cycle

Democrat Harry Reid doesn't know the Koch Brothers favor some of his prize planks:

• "they support gay marriage,
• drug legalization,
• opposed the Iraq War,
• want to substantially cut military spending, and
• gave $20 million to the ACLU to oppose the Patriot Act"...

"The dreaded Koch family gave the DSCC $30,000 last cycle, but that's no defense from this, in a fundraising email from Harry Reid, headlined "Koch Brothers":

Senate Democrats are fighting back each and every day. But with only a slim four-seat majority, we have no margin for error. If Republicans can knock just a few bricks free from our firewall, they’ll force through their extreme agenda faster than you can say “Koch brothers.” With the GOP on the attack and with 23 Democratic-held seats to defend, we have no time to spare. We must act now to keep our majority standing strong. I need your help!

Full email after the jump.

Dear xxxx,

We should be trying to put Americans back to work, not trying to put public radio out of business.

Attacking labor unions…waging war on women’s rights…defunding NPR...repealing health care reform. The anti-worker, anti-woman, anti-Obama Republican agenda just proves that their priorities are seriously out of whack. How is any of this supposed to create jobs?
