Anonymous—fresh from taking down the Westboro Baptist Church—is now targeting the Koch brothers in its support of Wisconsin protesters.

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.
