I think that much of the allure of the conspiracy theories is that they can make uneducated people

feel like they are smarter than others. This usually keeps the conspiracy kind of shadowy.



The big problem with the Koch story as a conspiracy, is that--though there's enough financial power there

to keep documentaries about them off PBS--anyone with an internet connection can trace all

kinds of Koch money, designed to push the political center to the right.

Hell, the Daily Show featured easily verifiable Koch bad behavior just last night!

While there's undoubtedly unethical Koch behavior that we don't yet know about,

the massive amount of ugly behavior that is already well known undermines the conspiracy potential.
