Paul Krugman: Feel the hate, fear and loathing in New York Paul Krugman NYT Saturday, September 4, 2004
PRINCETON, New Jersey Paul Krugman 'I don't know where George Soros gets his money," one man said. "I don't know where - if it comes from overseas or from drug groups or where it comes from." George Soros, another declared, "wants to spend $75 million defeating George W. Bush because Soros wants to legalize heroin." After all, a third said, Soros "is a self-admitted atheist; he was a Jew who figured out a way to survive the Holocaust."
The suggestion that Soros, who has spent billions promoting democracy around the world, is in the pay of drug cartels came from Dennis Hastert, the speaker of the House of Representatives, whom the Constitution puts two heartbeats from the presidency. After standing by his remarks for several days, Hastert finally claimed that he was talking about how Soros spends his money, not where he gets it.
The claim that Soros's political spending is driven by his desire to legalize heroin came from Newt Gingrich. And the bit about the Holocaust came from Tony Blankley, editorial page editor of The Washington Times, which has become the Bush administration's de facto house organ.
For many months we've been warned by tut-tutting commentators about the evils of irrational "Bush hatred." Pundits eagerly scanned the Democratic convention for the disease; some invented examples when they failed to find it. Then they waited eagerly for outrageous behavior by demonstrators in New York, only to be disappointed again.
There was plenty of hatred in Manhattan, but it was inside, not outside, Madison Square Garden.

Bad Manners: Audience Boos at Bush's Clinton Message
Krugman-the east coast Mark Morford..
George Soros is evil. He's a 21st century money changer, and his table needs to be overturned.
Soros is the poster child for why the so-called "campaign reform" was a bad idea.
It is almost as if the democrats knew he was out there waiting while they duped the Republicans into voting for the terrible McCain-Feingold bill.
very serious issues...
Krugman said "he believes the United States needs a "mega-Watergate" scandal to uncover a far-reaching right-wing conspiracy, going back forty years, to gain control of the U.S. government and roll back civil rights." http://www.nationalreview.com/york/york200409010941.asp
Check out the thread on this:

It was a lie, and the AP was caught red-handed!
bwahahahahaha
This is sooooo funny. Who the hell is Paul Klugman anyway??? Andwhy should I care what he thinks?? Was he upset when Soros compared President Bush to Hitler?? I don't think so.
It's pay back time...........BIG TIME!!
Does anyone know if Soros is a US citizen??
The guy is certifiable! L0L
Hey Pauly! We are the party that got the civil rights act passed despite your team!

Yep, I know! And that's just what I sent to Newsmax, Christopher Ruddy et al, just a few minutes ago! Shame on them! This has been out for almost 24 hours now...no excuse for it.
Check this out, Ping
Sure "roll back civil rights" - that's why it was the Republicans in congress who passed the 1964? Civil Rights bill while the dims led by people like Al Gore, Sr. voted against it.
But fortunately for the fortunes of the dims, the MSM got their spin machine into high gear about then.
Not just "almost" I would bet. I have a feeling Soros has been pulling the strings for years now.
That is a great quote.
Race wedge...their desperation play.
Yeah, Carl is a FReeper, he should clean this up
I wouldn't defend Tony for that comment. Krugman isn't one of my favorite economists, though.
Zell & Arnold have licenses that we average conservatives can't even apply for:
The Democrat License
The Immigrant License
That's why the Press is howling, and the John Johns' are running scared.
Krugman fell into another trap. Time to keep Soros who has been very quiet for the past few months in the news.
In fact, Soros took the bait by responding to Hastert.
It is good to have a person of the NYT explain it to me. Former Jew, huh? Move of lot of H, huh? OK, Paul if you say so, then I'll believe it.
Are we very near the time when McCain-Feingold requires the 527's to shutenzie upenzie?
Dunno.
I thought the cutoff was 60 days before the election, but it doesn't apply to the papers.
I can't imagine that it applies to the internet. And that is where the action is.
Guess one of the lawyers or political junkies on FR will know.
or his casket lowered. God will not always strive with man, and Soros is due for some of God's wrath! I will pray for him as I have for Sadaam.
Hastert issued a clarification and said he did not mean drug cartels (this is people putting their own interpretion on what he said), he meant groups that want to legalize drugs.
I suppose he couldn't see the pure hatred in the steets because he agrees with it.
I don't care what he says in his spin--the mere fact that a super-liberal Dem is putting Soros in play as a mystery man and a billionaire will make some wonder exactly why he's bankrolling Kerry.
Personally, I think Bush ought to 'out' this connection and all the millions Soros is spending. Why?

Zell Miller, who gave the Republican keynote, declared that political opposition is treason . . . But the vitriol also reflects the fact that many of the people at that convention, for all their flag-waving, hate America.
This genocidal totalitarian fanatic can't see the hypocrisy between these two statements.
They want a controlled, monolithic society; they fear and loathe the nation's freedom, diversity and complexity. A racist code-phrase.

Riiiight, if that was love outside, I don't need it.
Dead on.
AP cite. Retracted within hours.
"(Remember: DimocRat lies told often enough became truth to 42% of americans)"
Your tag line!!! I can't tell if I like yours or mine better!
They are both valid and I like your tagline better. I'll have to think of a new one.lol
Soros, who has spent billions promoting democracy around the worldThe Democratic Noise Machine strikes again. What a load. Here's a Google search for Freerepublic, George Soros, and Yugoslavia.
Hmmmm? If Krugman ever left his office he might have found out that Soros is funding 2 programs - one is to legalize druge, and the other is to legalize euthanasia.
So .. here is what George Soros stands for .. killing out children in the womb .. drugging our youth .. and killing off our seniors.
Nice guy huh ..??
And that was just from John McCain.
Why You Don't Want To
Take George Soros's Money
October 29, 2003
Recent reports that mega-speculator George Soros is putting millions of dollars into funding think-tanks for the Democratic Party (Center for American Progress, and America Coming Together are two notable recipients), in a not-so-veiled effort to buy up the party, should raise the question: Just how does George Soros make his money? Years of investigation by LaRouche's associates have answered that question in grisly detail: Soros's money comes from impoverishment of the poor countries against whose currencies he speculates, and from deadly mind-destroying, terrorism-funding drugs.
We provide below a brief dossier on the low-lights of Soros's history of theft and drug-promotion.* If, after reading this, you still want to take Soros's money, at least have the decency to put the truth on your website: "I support drug-pushing. I'm pushing cocaine."
SOROS THE SPECULATOR:
Hungarian-born George Soros has been involved in financial speculation since the late 1960s, at which time he established the Quantum Fund, N.V., which manages the money of leading British and Swiss financiers, including the British Royal Household. The Quantum Fund is a private investment body called a hedge fund, which is headquartered in one of the leading centers of money-laundering internationally, the Netherland Antilles.
1990: With the opening of the East Bloc, Soros moves into Poland and Russia, with "advice" for devastating economic "shock therapy," to be administered by his associate, economist Jeffrey Sachs. Sachs' major claim to fame was his "rescue" of the Bolivian economy, by shutting down industry, and building up the cocaine trade.
1992: In this year, Soros's speculation made big news, as he pulled off major attacks on the currencies of Great Britain and Italy, after which he bragged about earning more than $1 billion by hurting the currencies of these nations.
1993: U.S. Congressman Henry Gonzalez (D-Texas) called for an investigation of Soros's manipulation of foreign exchange markets, including the possibility that the same measures used against Great Britain would be used against the United States.
1995: The manager of Soros's Management Fund, through which he controls the Quantum Fund, took out an ad in the U.S. press, which urged the Congress (then controlled by Newt Gingrich), to proceed with its budget cuts, despite the possibility of a budget impasse (train wreck), because such austerity was absolutely required for the financial markets.
1995: The Italian courts, in response to a legal brief by associates of LaRouche in Italy, launched an investigation of Soros's role in the speculative attack on the lira in 1992. The suit was dismissed in 1999.
1997: Soros's hedge funds launch a speculative attack against the Thai baht, in a move widely credited with triggering the great Asian financial crisis of 1997, which destroyed the economies of Indonesia, and many other nations.
SOROS THE DRUG PUSHER
1992-1994: Soros creates the Open Society Institute, and through that, both the Drug Policy Foundation and the Lindesmith Center, funneling more than $15 million for their activities, which focus heavily on changing drug laws, toward legalization.
1996: Ballot initiatives in favor of "medical marijuana" in California and Arizona, funded lavishly by Soros's front groups, are passed. These were the front end of a campaign that encompassed up to 25 states.
1997: Soros's Drug Policy Foundation pours money into a campaign to legalize euthanasia in Australia.
Meanwhile, in Ibero-America, Soros becomes a leading finacier of the drive to legalize cocaine. He bankrolls a meeting on Oct. 8-9, 1997 in the Colombian city of Medellin, for the purpose of pushing drug legalization, at the same time that Human Rights Watch/Americas, another major beneficiary of his funds, attacked the national forces deployed against the drug cartels as "human rights violators." It should be noted that the pro-drug guerrillas in Colombia are known to be bloody-thirsty kidnappers, and murderers, who terrorize the nation.
In the United States, Soros worked with the pro-drug Mayor of Baltimore Kurt Schmoke, to promote "progressive" drug policies, including needle-exchange programs. Soros "donated" $25 million to spreading illegal drugs in the city.
1998: Another Soros-related group, the Andean Council of Coca Leaf Producers, begins to carry out an armed revolt in Bolivia, under the banner "Coca or Death." The Council was established by a European group called Coca 95, whose chief financier was Soros, and whose directors call for free trade in every narcotic on the face of the earth: cocaine, heroin, marijuana and synthetics.
Soros's Lindesmith Center in June of this year, issues an Open Letter to Kofi Annan calling for a "truly open" dialogue on illegal drugs -- claiming that clamping down on them is worse than drug abuse itself, and demanding that legalization be put on the table.
2000: Soros moves both through Human Rights Watch, and direct funding of the Toledo Presidential campaign, to topple the successful anti-drug government of Alberto Fujimori in Peru. EIR forecasts that the new Soros-backed government will move to put anti-drug fighters in prison, and bring back the murderous Sendero Luminoso -- which it has done.
2001: In June, the Wall Street Journal gives major coverage to the decision by Soros, along with billionaires Peter Lewis and John Sperling, to kick in at least $10 million for the 2002 elections, where they will target Florida, Ohio, and Michigan for decriminalization referenda.
Soros also funds a drive for decriminalization of marijuana in Canada.
2002: Soros funded a referendum on the Nevada ballot, which called for the legalization of marijuana use, and would {mandate} that the state begin growing and retail distribution of the drug to anyone over 21 years of age. The effort was run by a Washington, D.C.-based group, the Marijuana Policy Project, which receives direct funding from Soros, through the Drug Policy Foundation, which has received more than $15 million from Soros in recent years. The Drug Policy Foundation recently merged with the Lindesmith Center, a project of Soros's Open Society Institute tax-exempt foundation. The new, unified entity, the Drug Policy Alliance, is run by Soros employee Dr. Ethan Nadelman. Soros has poured at least $25 million into various dope legalization schemes over the past five years, and has vowed to substantially increase his bankrolling of the dope lobby efforts.
The Marijuana Policy Project was launched by a former official of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Legislation (NORML), the oldest of the drug legalization fronts now under the Soros umbrella.
