In the link above click to the New Yorker Story.

Jane Mayer of the New Yorker was in an hourlong conversation Monday on drshow.org. Listen to it.

Jim Demint of the Tea Party, Koch Brothers network is a founding member of the Redeemer Presbytherian Church on Paris Mtn near Furman University in Greenville S.C. His fellow influential member at Redeemer Prez is Brent Nelsen, former chair of the Furman poli sci department. Nelsen at the rercommendation of S.C. Gov Haley is a nominee of the Obama White House to be a board member of PBS.

Verbally harangued some folks with Jigsaw Productions and threatened to move to Florida where the taxxes were lower if PBS did not quit accomodating documentaries that exposed The Rich. (see Jane Mayer New Yorker article)

It seems the Koch brothers may be able to Chill the Likes of Bill Moyers in ways Pressler was unable to to do in the SBC.

How well the Koch's know Paul Pressler, I do not know, but it wouldn't suprise me if they don't know each other very well, given Karl Rove's social welfare network around Houston.

What does Richard Land know about all this? When Richard Land dies, will he go to heaven, or does Christ have a preference for the Poor; or just the poor in Spirit. Land and Pressler and the Koch brothers fail on the Spirit question as have I on some occasions. For God's Sake This is America, even Roosevelt said an empty sock can't stand up. But does it always have to have the Koch Boner I guess is the question? LOL
