This is fun to observe from the sidelines, like watching on Jerry Springer how a dysfunctional family gets in a goofy brawl or girlfriends are pulling one another's hair out, where all sides are so repulsive and stupid that nobody can possibly be in the right and it doesn't matter who wins.
But the most entertaining part is Teabagging, astroturfing FreedomWorks playing the role of Jerry's bouncer Steve Wilkos, trying to break up the fight between Cato's board and the Kochs with such official, "just calm down" statements:
While we [Freedomworks] do not pretend to know all of the particulars of the dispute over ownership shares, it is clear that this hostile takeover bid, if successful, will do irreparable harm to the credibility of Cato, and equally important, will undermine our community's intellectual defenses at a time when the progressive left seems more committed than ever in their aggressive pursuit of government control of the American economy and the most personal decisions of its individual citizens.
"The credibility of Cato"! "Intellectual defenses"! Ha-ha, that's great stuff!
