As Libs Dance on Koch’s Grave, They Still Ignore How He Helped Their Cause

It’s said one shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, but this is meaningless to the morally dead. This has again been proven with leftists’ reaction to the passing of billionaire libertarian David Koch (shown), whose death of prostate cancer at age 79 was announced Friday.
The anti-Koch vitriol has been particularly vicious, with comedian Bill Maher stating that he’s “glad he’s dead” and hoped “the end was painful” and actress Bette Midler saying “F*** you” to someone paying tribute to the activist billionaire. Yet if liberals looked objectively at Koch — who avowed socialist Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) once said was left of him on immigration — they’d realize he did much to promote their cause.
The Koch brothers earned their wealth via their Koch Industries, the United States’ second-largest privately held company. Each brother’s net worth had been estimated at $50.5 billion, making them co-holders of the 11th position on the list of the world’s richest people. They’d also been well-known Republican Party donors for three decades — and they’d become Joe McCarthy-like boogiemen to the Left.
Yet the viciousness with which leftists have celebrated David Koch’s demise is still striking. Maher perhaps was the cream of the slop on his HBO talk show, Real Time with Bill Maher, opening the Friday episode “with a series of dark jokes referencing the fact that the Kochs had donated millions to fund climate change-…[realist] research and politicians…,” reported the Daily Mail.
“‘I guess I’m going to have to reevaluate my low opinion of prostate cancer,’ Maher said, adding that David ‘was 79, but his family says they wish it could be longer. But at least he lived long enough to see the Amazon catch fire,’” the paper continued, quoting the comedian.
