The following was sent to info “at” barackobama.com, and an automatic acknowledgement was just received. Mr. Obama will not be able to claim that he “does not know” these things about George Soros and his friends at MoveOn.org if he continues to accept Soros’ support.

Dear Mr. Obama, (also posted to the Internet for the record)

The purpose of this E-mail is to put it ON RECORD that your campaign is aware of George Soros’ endorsement and financial support, and also that George Soros has effectively equated the United States to Nazi Germany.

“Soros, who spent $26 million trying to beat Bush two years ago, is a key supporter of the media-darling Illinois Democrat’s presidential campaign.”

http://washingtontimes.com/national/20070129-120940-4066r.htm “Sen. Barack Obama is scoring gains in the early campaign-money sweepstakes, pulling in checks from liberal movie moguls, Silicon Valley executives and financiers such as George Soros in a bid to match Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s huge financial advantage in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.”

‘Nazi America’ George Soros accused the United States of being a Nazi regime at the recent conference in Davos, Switzerland, and nobody noticed. That has Martin Peretz angry. The New Republic’s editor in chief began his column by citing a New York Times report in which the billionaire liberal says: “America needs to follow the policies it has introduced in Germany. We have to go through a certain de-Nazification process.”

George Soros has a long track record of denouncing and undermining the United States. He has called our country a threat to world peace and said that Israel is responsible for causing anti-Semitism. He also wants to subordinate the United States to the United Nations.

More from the article (I have the rights to it)

You can be the friend of George Soros or the friend of decent and patriotic Americans, but you cannot be both. You certainly cannot be America’s friend and also the friend of an individual who compares our country, which incidentally has 1/1 (1-7 scale, 1 being best) ratings for civil liberties and political freedoms from Freedom House, to Nazi Germany. It is therefore reasonable to expect you to openly reject and denounce George Soros’ support, and to pledge to refuse all campaign contributions from any organization with which he is involved. I am confident that you will not knowingly and willfully associate with an individual who equates the United States with Nazi Germany, just as no decent candidate would knowingly and willfully associate with a prominent Ku Klux Klansman like David Duke.

You should also be aware that MoveOn.org, which was initially funded by Soros, has a long track record of welcoming anti-Semitic, racist, anti-Catholic, and anti-Evangelical hate speech at its moderated Action Forum. Here is what Soros’ friends at MoveOn.org have to say about Jews, African-Americans, and Catholics, and this is just a tiny sample. I am confident that the Obama for President campaign will not associate its name with this kind of thing. (Action Forum links no longer work, as the scandal last year forced MoveOn.org to take the Action Forum offline.)
