UPDATING MY SCORECARD

I was under the impresssion that FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity were both funded by the Koch brothers so a bit ago I was a little surprised that Foamer Levin attacked one of them.  Dave Weigel provides a little background:
FreedomWorks to Romney: Take Your Tea and Shove It

FreedomWorks telegraphed this move months ago, telling Jon Ward that denying the GOP nomination to Mitt Romney was a top priority. [This is something I think Mark Levin would agree with]

Romney was one of the GOP candidates who joined Americans for Prosperity's April 29 New Hampshire rally. AFP, which predates the Tea Party but came into its own as an organizing force for the movement, has always attracted Republican leaders and presidential candidates to its events. AFP is David Koch's group; FreedomWorks exists because Dick Armey bolted from the old, Koch-funded Citizens for a Sound Economy over disagreements with Koch. And FreedomWorks continues to identify itself as the group that'll kneecap anyone who goes rogue.
