Amy Walters Made It a Point to Call Americans for Prosperity a “KOCH BROTHERS Supported Backed” Organization

…on PBS’ The NewsHour Thursday night (with an able assist from Stuart Rothenberg just to make sure you heard it the FIRST time…).

…STUART ROTHENBERG: The average voter doesn’t say, wow, who’s contributing to who?

So I think it’s a general Democratic frustration here. When you look at these races, it’s not as though the Republican candidates have a lot more money than the Democratic Senate candidates. That’s not the case at all.

AMY WALTER: But the AFP is out, which is the Koch brothers-backed group.

GWEN IFILL: Americans for Prosperity.

AMY WALTER: I mean, when you look at how much they’re spending in some of these states we just talked about…

STUART ROTHENBERG: That’s true.

AMY WALTER: … in North Carolina, their super PAC up against the Democratic super PAC called the Majority — Democratic Majority — what is it? Majority PAC, yes.

STUART ROTHENBERG: Majority PAC.

AMY WALTER: Majority PAC.

It’s, in some cases, 3-1, 4-1 difference in the number of ads that have been run. But I agree with you that it’s — it may not stay that way.

STUART ROTHENBERG: And, remember, the Republican super PAC that was so big last time, Crossroads, seems not to be active this cycle, at least at this point. They will be later in the cycle.

But, so far, AFP, the Koch brothers group, has really been carrying the ball for Republicans as the outside group.

No mention of any ‘Soros supported’ groups helping out Democrats during the roundtable, to my surprise.

Our little fishwrap this morning, seemly being eaten alive by USA Today inserts, amazingly enough, had a similar, unbiased observation:

I’m sensing a “theme”…

    Nothing more sinister than successful, American industrialists.

    Not even shady, foreign currency manipulators.
