The Soros Threat To Democracy
Investors Business Daily ^ | 25 sept 07

Posted on 09/25/2007 3:26:54 AM PDT by rellimpank

Democracy: George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire's backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word: transparency.

How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely "NASA whistleblower" standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros' Open Society Institute , which gave him "legal and media advice"?

That's right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros' flagship "philanthropy," by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI's "politicization of science" program.

A most revealing video of the anti-war left. These people are useful idiots for the mental midgets that run the new communist party (namely George Soros). That the dumbocrat party is joined at the hip with these people is not good for America. Where is McCarthy when you need him?

Hansen also accepted a $250,000 bribe from Teresa Heinz-Kerry a few years ago.

I suspect that the NY Times will be more circumspect in the near term when it does business with Soros, MoveOn, et al.

You must be dreaming. That's like saying a Crack Whore will change her ways after a night in the pokey and a $100 fine.

The NY Times will not change anything. They'll just be more careful about not getting caught next time.

Thus the meaning of the word "circumspect". Thank you for clarifying my response.

"Soros is going to find it much harder to topple the United States than it was to topple penny-ante Eastern European emerging democracies. I think he has bitten off more than he can chew."

From your keyboard to God's ears. You should go to a few of the "peace marches" and see the look on some of these naive kids faces when they realize they are part of an underground movement.

This is not going to work for $oros$...I can feel it in my bones. I hope he blows all of his money that he stole from the citizens of Britain.
