Why are liberals so afraid of them?

I disagree with many of their policies, but I would like to thank Koch Industries for sponsoring all of the CUSA games on the American Sports Network

ground breaking insight. up next, rap music. why?

but to answer your question, who is john galt?

The Dem Senate campaign contributors include: $5 million from fossil fuel investor turned climate change evangelist Tom Steyer, Chicago media magnate Fred Eychaner ($4 million), former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg ($2.5 million) and hedge-fund founder James Simons ($2 million). Some $6.6 million comes from unions (via coerced dues), and nearly $4 million in $250,000 gifts from the likes of trial lawyers ( Peter Angelos, David Boies ) and tech and media moguls ( Google's Eric Schmidt, recording executive Jerry Moss).

The same Democratic 1% are funding most of the left's campaign apparatus this year. Mr. Steyer gave $7.5 million to his own Super PAC, NextGen Climate, which is advertising false accusations against Iowa GOP Senate candidate Joni Ernst. Mr. Bloomberg gave $2 million to the Emily's List PAC, which is spending millions to lambaste North Carolina Republican Senate nominee Thom Tillis as hostile to women and education.

George Soros gave $500,000 to a PAC supporting House Democrats and another $500,000 to the League of Conservation Voters Victory Fund, which recently ran an ad (irony alert) accusing the Koch Brothers of trying to "buy" the New Hampshire Senate seat for Republican Scott Brown. Houston mega-lawyer Amber Mostyn gave $250,000 to the Planned Parenthood PAC, which is attacking Republican Senate candidate Cory Gardner in Colorado.

I'm wondering if this has something to do with Harry Reid declaring war on the Koch brothers.

The funny thing is that the Koch Bros. support quite a few policies that sharply differ from most of the GOP. They support gay marriage, pot legalization, an anti-interventionalist foreign policy, and are big critics of the Patriot Act for example.
