Washington, DC—RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie issued the following comment on George Soros’ statement today that he “does not equate the abuse in Abu Ghraib with the terror attacks of September 11.”
"John Kerry forgot he voted for the Patriot Act and No Child Left Behind. Al Gore forgot he was Vice President when Osama Bin Laden declared war on the United States five separate times and when terrorists killed Americans. Now George Soros can't remember what he said yesterday," said RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie.
A transcript of Soros’ comments yesterday and audio of his comments is included below: Audio Link: http://media1.streamtoyou.com/rnc/Soros-AbuGhraib-6-3-04-112secs.mp3
“And I think that the picture of torture in the Abu Ghraib, in Saddam’s prison, was the moment of truth for us, because this is not what this nation stands for. I think that those pictures hit us the same way as the terrorist attack itself. Not quite with the same force because the terrorist attack we were the victims.
“In the pictures we were the perpetrators, others were the victims. But there is, I’m afraid, a direct connection between those two events, because the way President Bush conducted the war on terror, converted us from victims into perpetrators.
“This is a very tough thing to say, but the fact is, that the war on terror as conducted by this administration, has claimed more innocent victims that the original attack itself.”
Amazing Soros is backing away from the comments......that tells you how much he screwed up.
Something tells me that the fleas are distancing themselves from the rat after his ridiculous comments made yesterday...
This gaffe could turn out to be political dynamite in exposing the truly anti-American posture of the Left. (I know, I know...but a man's gotta take hope where he finds it.)
How does he know that????
Wasn't Saddam the bad guy?
Let's compare body counts.
These liberals really floor me! ROTFL!!!!!!
You're correct..
True. For a backroom money man to back away from his comments means someone had a talk with him, and given the amount of money Soros is throwing around, that someone has to be high up on the food chain.
Future RNC ad and Hillary did the intro. Beautiful.
Soros received a thunderous ovation after making these remarks... I would love to see video of this to see if Hillary (who introduced Soros at the event) was also clapping.
Don't despair. Soon the secret strategery will become clear. Misunderestimation is imminent, be patient, Nov is a long way off.
It is all on beautiful tape...the Hillary introduction and the Soro's comments.
Remember, that it was Hillary Clinton that introduced Soros! The MSM is burying the Soros story.
Memo to Mr. Soros:
You see that small red button on the VCR...on the DVD Recorder...on the Tivo...on the Tape Recorder...yeah, the one that says "RECORD"?????
You see that small black icon on the computer screen that looks like a Floppy disk? It says "SAVE"?
Both of those primitive devices work! And they don't discriminate between Republicans and Democrats!
End of memo.
Sincerely (fervently desiring to defeat you into submission in November),
A proud member of the VRWC
He didn't really screw up; Everyone there loved it as did Hillary; but alas, Hillary did a poll and it did not look good; or maybe even Kerry got a bit nervous when he saw the evening news; but this is not the first time Soros has gone there; and he will again; he will just be more careful where. . .
Also would like to commend the Repubs and RNC et al; seems they are finding a stronger voice. . .hope that is the case; because we need it.
What a dirtbag. these Moonbat fruitloops always manage to step right in it.
It's sad when a "Billion dollar" member of our free society becomes so forgetful.
Tie in with Zell Miller saying how the 'Rat party has lost its bearings. I do hope they got the grifting NY Senator clapping with the rest of the hateful anti-Americans...
No doubt! ; )
Ed Gillespie kicks leftist's square in the head, every time he opens his mouth.
Mr. Soreass is probably the most dangerous man on earth. With sufficient wealth and power to manipulate the world economy like a puppet master, his puppet, to favor which ever political party or politician he chooses. He idolized the Clintons and now John Kerry.
Soreass despises Bush, Christians and Patriotic Americans. He is contemptious of everything the average American cherishes. His wealth can't buy your vote for his candidate, but he has the unlimited funds to buy beguiling political ad after beguiling political ad, until your brain becomes so saturated with twisted and perverted images, that reality is difficult to discern. It's called brain washing, and was used very successfully by other enemies in another time.
Don't allow Soreass to tell you whom you should vote for.
As did the Nazi's in WWII, however this contemporary loss of "bearings" is a battle not required of a fight.
Soros bump. The more people know who Soros is, the more he himself becomes an issue in this campaign, which he should be. Dims love to whine about money corrupting the American political process, and yet they are the most egregious offenders.
True.
Great audio clip! Does anyone know how to archive it?
What's Soro's "this nation," comment ? Is he suddenly a US citizen ?
Never forget who brought him to the meeting, and who introduced him!
Hillary Clinton
Soros is part and parcel of her financial strategy to take the Presidency in 2008.
screw soros....him and his accent
When I heard his comments on Rush today I could not believe what I was hearing. I wonder how much film, sound, and data of Hillary has been destroyed since yesterday?
It made me sick to listen to the audience applaud that bum.
I've been wondering about his status...........anyone know if he is a citizen or even has applied for citizenship?
These actions and comments merely prove that we don't want Democrats running this nation if we want to keep a nation.
Why on earth would anyone vote in a Hate America First candidate for any job in the American government?
And it took her long enough to kinda, sorta disavow Soros' comments, didn't it?
I heard the audio of his original statements on tape.
He sounded pretty tentative then, like someone who knows he's already skating on thin ice.
The truth is that he can simply return to the shadows and shut up. His power is his money and his surrogates, not his oratory.
I suspect that he will bear this in mind and return to his place behind the leftist thrones.
Remember that Soros is an ally only to those who can bring him more money and power. For now, that is the Socialists, but that is subject to change.
Do not be surprised if he "gets religion", should that profit him more. He is a robber baron in the classic sense.
She had to wait until the check cleared.
Be sure that Soros get lots of coverage! Make sure he gets his messager out!
He holds dual-citizenship, with a South-American country, I believe Columbia.However, he appears to have been living in Europe for several years now.
Soros is nothing but a egotistical elistist-another funeral I wouldn't shed a tear at. He is an enemy of this country.
Thank you for the information.
I don't have that much problem with the dual citizenship, the living in Europe and doing what he is trying to do with U.S. elections is where my problem arises.
BUMP!
P.S. There are plenty of entire *nations* that hate and despise Soros (for destroying their currencies, e.g.). Surely one of these countries has a wealthy citizen or two to kick in some funds to combat Soros?
he sure is a US Citizen .. you'd heard the standards have been lowered haven't you? I'm surprised Clinton didn't give him the Medal of Honor. Guess HRC can do that after 2008 (in her dreams).
Soros is a scumbag.
This is why the left would like to go back to the technical stone age circa 1965 when they could even recall their bizarre f-ups.
Looks like Soros forgot to hire the guy in charge of remembering what he says.
Hillary has also backed away from them.
My question is this: What do the people think - who heard these statements - and how do they feel about Soros or Hillary after they hear that they took back the statements. That's so confusing for the liberal sheeple .. I'm not sure they can handle that ..??
We should ask our liberal friends about that - maybe they could have us some insight.
The leftists societal engineers are so filled with hate that they slip up and let out their bile in public, more and more and more. One can only hope that the average American is seeing this revelation of the hate-filled democrat party and about to reject them en masse in November.
But is there video of hillary clapping as he ssid this???? Inquiring minds want to know....
“This is a very tough thing to say, but the fact is, that the war on terror as conducted by this administration, has claimed more innocent victims that the original attack itself.”
Heck, I'll bet the number of innocent elderly victims that died of the heatwave last summer in France (15,000) while relatives stuck to their vacation plans outpaces the number of civilian deaths in Iraq during major operations.
I don't know how to captrue it directly from it's ource but a guaranteed way is to use either the simple recorder in Windows and record it in "real time."
I have the cd burning program called NERO which has a recorder as part of it's software package.
There are also some freebie programs to be found on the net. If you go to any search engine and put in some keywords like "free wav recording software" you should find one in a jiffy.
Good Luck!
