'Consummate hypocrite': Chuck Schumer blasted for Koch double standard

Harry Reid said today that Republicans should wear Koch insignias on their clothes to indicate who they really work for. Hopefully Reid saved a special Koch insignia for his fellow Senate Democrat and Koch critic Chuck Schumer:

Chuck Schumer hates the Koch brothers, but look how grateful he was when KochPAC donated to his 2010 Senate campaign: http://t.co/rizK2xbBqn

John Hinderaker at the Powerline blog reported Schumer’s massive hypocrisy for gratefully accepting a donation from KochPAC during the 2010 election cycle.

Here’s the thank you note from Schumer:

The hypocrisy is staggering, but not incredibly surprising:

@michellemalkin @jhinderaker Liars, hypocrites, and politicians – it's all about money power and position – nothing to do with the people1

@michellemalkin @jhinderaker just like water seeking the path of least resistance, politicians values bend towards the money conserv or lib

@michellemalkin Hypocrisy does not escape Schumer nor Reid?

@michellemalkin @jhinderaker Schumer only hates Koch bros when they donate to causes he does not believe in. He is a typical Dem hypocrite!

@jhinderaker Chuck Schumer, consummate hypocrite.
But I repeat myself.

It’s also been reported that the Koch-obsessed Harry Reid accepted a donation in 2003 from a Koch lobbyist. But as we’ve come to learn, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer’s rules do not apply to Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer.
