(AP Photo/Andy Manis) Anonymous—fresh from taking down the Westboro Baptist Church—is now targeting the Koch brothers in its support of Wisconsin protesters. The hackers have taken down the website of a free-market advocacy group funded by the billionaire brothers, Gawker reports. Anonymous says "Operation Wisconsin" is payback for the brothers' meddling in state politics. "Koch Industries, and oligarchs like them, have most recently started to manipulate the political agenda in Wisconsin," Anonymous said in a press release. "The Kochs have helped to fuel the unrest in Wisconsin and the drive behind the bill to eliminate the collective bargaining power of unions in a bid to gain a monopoly over the state's power supplies."
