Icon of the Left: George Soros

[Luissa]

Yawn; Following the Alinsky model, you can't refute the facts, so you attack the source.

{the original call to “Occupy Wall Street” came from the magazine AdBusters, an “anti-consumerist” publication financed by, among other sources, the Soros-funded Tides Foundation.

Other Soros-backed outfits promoting big government — some with myriad ties to the Obama administration — are also publicly driving the occupation campaign. MoveOn.org, for instance, has received millions of dollars from the billionaire banker. And now, the group is urging its supporters to join the Occupy Wall Street movement as well.

“Over the last two weeks, an amazing wave of protest against Wall Street and the big banks has erupted across the country,” MoveOn said in a recent e-mail to supporters, praising the “brave” demonstrators. “On Wednesday, MoveOn members will join labor and community groups in New York City for a huge march down to the protest site — the biggest yet.”

On top of supplying activists to join the demonstrations, MoveOn is also staging what it calls a “massive ‘Virtual March on Wall Street’ online.” The Internet-based demonstrations are a collaborative effort with another radical and well-connected outfit tied to Soros called Rebuild the Dream.

Led by self-described communist and former Obama administration czar Van Jones, the “Dream” movement is a partnership between a host of Soros-financed “progressive” groups. Big Labor and even Planned Parenthood — the largest abortion provider in America, which receives hundreds of millions of tax dollars each year — are partners, too.}

Big Soros Money Linked to

The Tide Foundation has donated 170,000 to Adbusters over 10+ years, Adbusters is not the same group as OWS. Soros has donated to the Tide Foundation, which is still not proof he is funding OWS. Please try harder.

Do less drugs.

Still don't have proof he is funding the OWS do you? That is what I thought.


And when all else fails, California pulls the drug card. You do realize you make yourself look like a immature bitch anytime you bring it up, right?

It's hard to believe when you site conservative and birther websites.

And you and Si have made the claim he is supporting the OWS, and I am still waiting proof on that one. So forgive me if I do not use you as a source to judge someone.
I am not going to speak out against Soros because I dont know much about him, and the only people providing info on him at this point is right wingers.

Just for the heck of it, I decided to check out one of her other claims (besides the one where she claimed he did something wrong as a teen under the Nazis).

Check this out. The quote she gave us is *shocker* out of context.

"It is, in a way, the culminating point of my life’s work"

On the other hand, I am tremendously involved in policy issues and that is where I am focusing.

What sort of policy?
The financial crisis, and how to solve it. It was not something that I was particularly concerned with prior to the rise of the crisis and I am also involved in the activities of the (Soros) Foundation.

But for the past 18 months you have been keeping an eye on the markets?
Yeah but I have also been writing a lot more than I was writing before because the crisis really stimulated me. I wrote a series of articles in the course of the year, I wrote a book, I published a book and I’m just about to publish a sequel to last year’s book, bringing it up to date, I am just working on it now.

So do you have a sense that things are coming together for you now?
It is in a way a culminating point of my life’s work, so to speak.

Everything is coming together.
Yeah, the American election, the financial crisis, the theory of reflexivity. So it is actually a very stimulating period.

The culmination of his life's work is solving the financial crises and writing his book!

This is why I didn't bother to read past the Nazi bullshit in the OP. Open up with a lie and the rest of the post is bound to be a lie.

You need to spend a little more time researching and not jump on one piece. I've spent years studying Mr Soros.

Try a little harder Ravi.... it'll take some time because a lot of the really good shit about Soros is not readily available with 'google' as your method of 'research'.

Right, because he didn't really give that interview to The Australian that you took out of context.

My biggest problem in this thread, is the your and everyone else's hypocrisy. Our agenda? Like the right doesn't have one.

Of course I have an agenda, the return to constitutional governance. How is that hypocritical?

Most of you on the left deny that you seek an authoritarian system with a centrally planned economy and government deciding the winners and losers.

I'm open about what I support and what my goals are; the left isn't.

I want an authoritarian system?
Thanks for letting me know, I was wondering what my beliefs were.
Today I found out Soros is my icon and I am authoritarian.

 

[Uncensored2008]

The only ones I see even mention George Soros is the right wing fear mongers. He is the new Boogie Man for right wingers

Can anyone point to a single thread about Soros that was started by someone on the left?

You of the left do your best to hide that Soros is the puppet master making you dance - those of you who are even cognizant of the facts, that is.

 

[L.K.Eder]

I made that claim based on the reaction of posters such as yourself who ignore the destruction of millions of lives and whine about 'hypocrisy' and make half assed comments with absolutely no substance.

Ever accusation I made in the OP about Soros is fact. But you say nothing about those. Why is that? What's to be afraid of?

you just need to read the first 4 words of the thread title and can discard it right away.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

LK was right, this is the **** thread.

Regardless of your whether you agree or disagree with her...one woman using such a disparaging and low blow insult to another woman is worse than a man doing so.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Bad form.

 

[Si modo]

OMG!

Still not a single word about Soros? It's like we are attacking their icon!



Pathetic and small people.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Just like the Pope Ratzinger. In fact..the Pope was in the Nazi Military.

He was?

Making up more facts as you go along, Shallow?

What a buffoon.

The OP claims he is some sort of Icon to the left. Yet, it is only the Glenn Becks of the world who obsess over him

telling women what words they should use is so 50s.

 

[Uncensored2008]

I want an authoritarian system?

Is that what I said?

Thanks for letting me know, I was wondering what my beliefs were.

You really are on drugs, aren't you.

Today I found out Soros is my icon and I am authoritarian.

Put down the bong, and read for content...

The agenda of the left is to establish an authoritarian system with a centrally planned economy - that is a factual statement.

Hi ****!

 

[Si modo]

Let's see. We have Glen Beck, Fox News, the Pope...

I'm sure I missed a few.

Anything, ANYTHING!!!!! But, don't talk poorly about my icon!

The confirm that the use of 'icon' was correct and they don't even know it.

Damn, some are just so easy.

Since he funds MoveOn and the KOS Kiddies, he's pretty important to the propaganda and demagoguery efforts of the left.

Wow, stay hypocritical, ToxicLefty. In what is becoming SOP for a lefty, you ignore LK's use of the word and call out Uncensored.

Fucking halfwit.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Wow......stay classy San Diego!

Follow the thread.........

 

[toxicmedia]

I care about millions of people - across the world - whose lives were destroyed by the actions of one man. I guess we have different priorities.

So........Soros=Hitler......Obama =Stalin/Hitler/Pol Pot/Mao..........Liberals=Nazis.........am I on the right track?

No. I have never, and will never, call Liberals 'Nazis. I call Nazis Nazies.... because they are. I do not use that label for anyone other than real Nazis.

Moron.

Any opinion on how Soros made his fortune?

I feel that if any government regulations, from any government, were put between Soros and his amassing a fortune....that would be socialism. Soros is a capitalist, and should not be regulated or taxed,

He's a job creator, and I thought righties liked that.
