Once upon a time, “evil” offered “good” money to try and corrupt it. Now, “good” calls “evil” and asks it for a donation. At least, that’s the inference we made after hearing what the progressively deteriorating minds at the DSCC are up to.

Commentary Magazine has the details:

…the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has regularly demonized the Koch brothers in its fundraising appeals and emails to supporters, despite the fact it accepted $30,000 from the Kochs’ PAC [for the 2010 campaign]. [For the 2012 cycle] the DSCC had the audacity to try to solicit money from the Koch brothers yet again.

[Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA)] apparently went so far as to leave the Kochs a voicemail, suggesting if they contribute generously, they might have a chance to join prominent Democratic senators at an island retreat in the fall.

We infer if the Kochs attend, the Democrat bigwigs would hold a group denouncement, after making sure their check cleared, of course.

Alan Goodman of Commentary speculates:

(a) The DSCC is so money-hungry and morally corrupt it will even solicit money from donors that it describes as having “a pattern of lawbreaking, political manipulations and obfuscation”;
(b) The DSCC realizes the Koch brothers are perfectly upstanding people, but it continues to dishonestly smear them because these attacks galvanize its grassroots support base; or
(c) The DSCC and Sen. Murray are so clueless they had no idea who they were hitting up for a major donation.

We would say there’s another possibility:

(d) All of the above.
