Soros-funded PAC Started Akin Controversy
Accuracy in Media ^ | September 3, 2012 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 09/03/2012 2:50:00 PM PDT by detective

The controversy over Missouri Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin’s abortion comments was started by a George Soros-funded Democratic Party Super-PAC and the “bait” was taken by Republican Party officials who wanted him out of the race for other reasons, says John Putnam, Missouri state coordinator for the national Tea Party Patriots group.

“Both McCain and Bush came running to endorse my former RINO congressman Joe Schwarz back in 06. Schwarz was a proud main streeter.”

And backed Snarlin’ Arlen Specter over Toomey.

I read that Karl is gay. He’s sure plays the part of a elitist drama queen well.

Santorum, Cain, or Gingrich were my choice, so I am not a Romney fan.

But currently he is the only presidential candidate we have, so using some people’s reasoning, we should not criticize him, just shut up and support him. Right?

I am not trying to be sarcastic, I just can’t see the difference.

That would be speculation that would easily be turned into a firestorm of indignation, but I do note the regard in which certain individuals and groups are held. He’s not unsympathetic. Draw your own conclusions.

If he stays in, I will vote for him.

I heard little about him in the primary except the McCaskill ads. Can’t help it, but have little confidence in him. Maybe he will prove himself in the campaign.

Good point, I was aghast when Romney told Akin to quit.

Rove has never forgiven Akin for voting against Bush's big government expansions and it wouldn't surprise me to find out that Rove is on Soros's payroll.

It would surprise me to find out he ISN'T!

Akin’ mouth started the controversy.

That said, he apologized, he chose to stay on the ballot... and at this point it’s a dead horse.

Karl Rove holds no candidacy or elective office, so I think Romney and the Republican party should sever any relationship with him. At least for the duration of this campaign. His “joke” was outrageous and offensive.

I used to kind of like Rove, but I think it was only because the Dems hated him and villified him so. I thought THAT was funny!

Since Obama was elected, I rarely find anything funny anymore.

“I hope Akin wins HUGE. Missouri, please make it so!”

I am a Missouri resident and both my wife and I plan to vote for Akin for U.S. Senator from Missouri. Plus, we have donated to his campaign.

I hope other SOCONs and balanced conservatives that aren’t dumb sheep following the GOPe will join us.

Sounds like we have a lot of “conservative” talkers and media who are paying too much attention to George Soros and not to conservative values.

Should have known the people asking Akin to step down were doing the bidding of George Soros

George Soros, through his Open Society organization, has been giving money to John McCain and Lindsey Graham for years. John McCain’s “Reason Institute” is nothing more than a depository for Soros donations.

Those two I know for sure are taking Soros money....and would not surprise me if other GOP are taking money from Soros. Heck, I would not be surprised some in GOP Media are being $$$ influenced by Soros (Akin attacks, attacks on “Birthers”, pandering to liberal GOP...smells of Soros)

Actually if you had Karl Rove as the dummy sitting on Soros’s lap it would be more appropriate and believable.

Why would Soros want to destroy Akin when there was still time to replace him on the ballot? (Hint: He wouldn't.)
