David Hamilton Koch the 71 year old US businessman and chemical engineer, co-owner with brother Charles of Koch Industries the second largest privately owned conglomerate of companies in the US has been accused by activists of being the main financiers of the conservative political group the Tea Party in their efforts to oppose social security and healthcare reforms. Renowned for his global warming skepticism and efforts to remove environmental regulations, Koch states that a warmer planet would be of benefit in the effort to support the growing population’s food needs into the future by making greater areas of land available for food production. Koch referred to as “Tea Party’s wallet”, dislikes President Obama’s policies labeling him as a “hardcore socialist” radical president pretending to be something other than what he really is.

Ronald Schiller the vice president of fundraising of the American not-for-profit organization NPR (National Public Radio) has become the victim of a sting set up by James O’Keefe a conservative activist. Schiller has been surreptitiously recorded on video criticizing the Republican Party and in particular the Tea Party as weird evangelical fundamental Christians. In the highly edited video Schiller stated that many high ranking Republicans believed this radical group of xenophobic white middle America gun-toting  racists, had hijacked the Republican Party, characterizing them as “Islamophobic”. O’Keefe conducted the undercover sting with activists claiming to be members of a wealthy Muslim education foundation founded by the Muslim Brotherhood offering financial support to NPR.
