Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles was both celebrated and demonized for transforming American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, died Friday at 79.
The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with various illnesses, including prostate cancer.

I notice nobody tries to describe - perhaps they don't actually know? No "total amount of damage" is complete without the other side of the balance sheet, such as being a huge employer, providing valuable resources to society, and for SN, providing considerable support to freedom-seeking viewpoints in society.
Then again, I don't know much about the guy, maybe you should actually talk about this evil sometime?

Is this supposed to be a quote or a "scare" quote? Because it's not a quote. And if it's a scare quote, then it means nothing since nobody is claiming any sort sort of detail here.
I guess they would just appalled at the ignorance displayed. I know I am.
