And if the Koch brothers don't want people saying things that hurt their feelings, they could always stop trying to buy elections by demonizing Democrats. Frankly, Reid is doing exactly what he should be doing; I hope he makes those mother fuckers the Paris Hiltons of the eight-figure donor class.
Probably needless to say, I think "personal revenge" is way, way too strong, and that your overgeneralizations about "liberals" are silly and unworthy of your usual caliber of argument. But again, I get that you're committed to this narrative.

Let's see, we have:
Occupy Wall Street marching to homes of rich people.
IRS treatment of conservative political groups
IRS leaking donor lists to conservative causes
Obama's "punish my enemies" remark
Harry Reid's constant bashing of Koch et al to raise money
The Obama site posting the profiles of Romney donors on their website... followed 2 weeks later by audits by the IRS and Dept of Labor for at least one of these donors.
How do we even know that Eich was a donor to this cause?? Oh, right, it was an IRS list of donors leaked to a gay-right advocacy organization.
When we talk about the PC Police, we don't usually expect them to actually have any influence!
