Alinsky like attacks on the Koch brothers not working

Jennifer Rubin:

As I have reported, the left has mounted a full-throated attack on David and Charles Koch, the billionaire libertarian brothers who give to pro-free-market causes that the left abhors. As odd as it may seem, the left imagines that it can discredit the Tea Party movement or dissuade the Kochs from participating in the political process by making them into the newest bogeymen (Rush Limbaugh is apparently so 2009 in the left playbook.)

But you have to wonder whether,aside from the screwy notion that voters care about the left’s conspiracy theories ( how well did the slams on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce work in the 2010 midterms?), the war on the Koch brothers is backfiring. The last few days suggest it is.

...
There is much more.

It is typical of the left to try to personalize it attacks rather than focus on issues. Trying to make the Koch brothers the issue rather than their political point of view is an attempt at distraction but it is one that is hard to sustain. Those in the Tea Party do not care if these guys support them and those on the left oppose the Tea Party already.

The left also tries to argue that those who support the Koch brothers are somehow on their pay roll. Not that there is anything wrong with being on their payroll, but I am not and never have been and I am also extremely unlikely to ever be working for them.
