Soros Plays Politics

Politics: As election season kicks into high gear, who should jump in front of the cameras but George Soros. A string of worshipful media stories suggest he's just talking financial shop. We think it's campaign politics.

---

After several months of seeming hibernation, the leftist billionaire speculator, who calls himself the "stateless statesman," has somehow gotten himself a lot of sudden press coverage. Starting most prominently with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo, Soros has been telling interviewers that this is "the worst market crisis in 60 years" and "the end of an era."

Ahem. What the media blitz really coincides with is the heating up of the U.S. election. Soros is well-known for his political views, calling last year, for example, for "a certain de-nazification" of America.

Soros hasn't made any overtly political statements since news he funded MoveOn.org, the radical group that smeared Gen. David Petraeus ("General Betray Us") last fall. But he's still making political contributions. On the receiving end are not only the Barack Obama campaign, but also 501(c) nonprofits and 527 political groups that amount to shadow campaigns.

When are they going to take Soros' citizenship away and deport him?

[DarthVader]

Soros is a dangerous man who needs to be taken care of by the intelligence organizations of several governments like the traitorous thugs were in Tom Clancy’s “Sum of All Fears”. With extreme prejudice.

FYI

[gusopol3]

could he really survive the public antipathy of being labeled exactly what he was, a Nazi collaborator? His excuse of being a “child” at age 12, 13, 14 doesn’t hold water or excuse him. He was actively evil at that age.

[NormsRevenge]

Charlie Rose had him on recently too.

So what exactly does the hero of the left, Mr. Soros, produce for all that money he takes in?

Nada.

He doesn’t manufacture anything. He doesn’t produce any works of art to make peoples lives better. In fact he doesn’t make anyones life better without making someone else’s life poorer.

In other words, he doesn’t make more pie. He takes other peoples pie by betting against them. He lives off other peoples production. His “success” produces no more wealth in the world as a whole. He’s everything bad about capitialism. And the hero of the left...

Yet large companies that actually produce things making us all better off, from oil and SUV’s to toilet paper are evil...

Go figure...

[gusopol3]

why , you make him sound like a parasite.

[infantrywhooah]

It’s a shame it was glue instead of Anthrax spores that got thrown on him. He’s a total waste of $4 worth of chemicals.

[Sooth2222]

Whenever Soros tells interviewers that this is "the worst market crisis in 60 years" and "the end of an era."....I think to myself hmmmmm wonder what he's trying to buy cheap? Homebuilders? Banks and brokerages maybe?

Whenever Soros touts a stock or sector I take a wild guess he's trying to sell a shipload of the stuff.

George Soros, Media Connections - Bump List

[Calpernia]

bump, ping

[Kackikat]

Soros met with Brock(?spelling) and a liberal news CEO about a smearing campaign against McCain in general election similar to the “swiftboat” campaign that sank Kerry. He met with them in NY 3 days ago, it was on Oreilly Factor, and Oreilly called it despicable.
Anyway the Freepers are the only ones strong enough to take this on, and we have some ammunitiion today with Obama’s condescention against small town Pennsylvanians.
Wright was a muslim connected with MalcolmX during 60’s, hence his connection with Ferrakhan. There is proof out there and we have to get it. Wright himself mentioned it in pulpit during one of the videos, but it was so fast most did not get it, and now those videos are not available.

[scooby321]

You think the GOP 527’s are going to release those videos now?

[Kackikat]

I don’t know, but they are out there and we should ask.
