Why hasn't there been a big demand to investigate Soros's influence on our elections by the Repubs?

I can't understand the right's fascination with Soro's. They've painted him as the puppet master behind everything that occurs and dozens of things that don't. He's the bogeyman under every rightwing bed. Who cares? What's he done in this country that is factually provable at a level higher than Elvis sightings?

When you don't recognize reality as *factual* there's really nothing that can be done to "prove" things to you that you deny, you know..

"An open borders organization funded by George Soros is pushing municipalities to offer identification documents for illegal immigrants, but requesting they seal customer data from immigration authorities."

Soros basically funds the leftist mainstream media. The Media Research Center chronicledback in 2011 how Soros has ties to over 30 news outlets in the mainstream media. For instance, at the time of the MRC report, the Soros-funded Pro-Publica's Journalism Advisory Board featured the following journalists:

  • Jill Abramson - New executive editor of The New York Times;
  • Kerry Smith - The senior vice president for editorial quality of ABC News;
  • Cynthia A. Tucker - The editor of the editorial page of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Abramson, who has since been fired from the Times, is now a columnist for The Guardian. Tucker is no longer the editor at the AJC, but is a syndicated columnist and commentator.

The following members of the media have also been on the boards or advisory boards of Soros groups as well:

Christiane Amanpour - Anchor of ABC's Sunday morning political affairs program, ''This Week with Christiane Amanpour.'' A reliable lefty, she has called tax cuts ''giveaways,'' the Tea Party ''extreme,'' and Obama ''very Reaganesque;''
  • Matt Thompson - Editorial product manager at National Public Radio and an adjunct faculty member at the prominent Poynter Institute.
  • Ben Sherwood - ABC News president and former ''Good Morning America'' executive producer;
  • Kathleen Hall Jamieson - Author and the Walter H. Annenberg Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication of the University of Pennsylvania;
  • Michele Norris - Host of NPR's newsmagazine ''All Things Considered,'' public radio's longest-running national program.
  • Phil Bronstein, director of content development and editor-at-large for Hearst Newspapers;
  • David Boardman, The Seattle Times;
  • Len Downie, former Executive Editor of the Washington Post, now VP;
  • George Osterkamp, CBS News producer.
Amanpour is now the CNN's chief international correspondent and host of Amanpour. Thompson is now the deputy editor of The Atlantic, Norris now works for the The Race Card Project. Bronstein has since left Hearst for a bigger role at Soros-funded Center for Investigative Reporting, and Boardman is now the Dean of the School of Media and Communication at Temple University.

Additionally, the CRI lists The Washington Post, Salon, CNN and ABC News as "media partners."

Soros also funds the Clinton-allied Media Matters organization, which numerous media outlets – including The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times – have used for content.

9 Things You Need To Know About George Soros
 
George Soros and other rich liberals who spent tens of millions of dollars trying to elect Hillary Clinton are gathering in Washington for a three-day, closed door meeting to retool the big-money left to fight back against Donald Trump.

The conference, which kicked off Sunday night at Washington’s pricey Mandarin Oriental hotel, is sponsored by the influential Democracy Alliance donor club, and will include appearances by leaders of most leading unions and liberal groups, as well as darlings of the left such as House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairman Keith Ellison, according to an agenda and other documents obtained by POLITICO.

Soros bands with donors to resist Trump, 'take back power'

Here are some things this pathetic human being has done and is doing.

1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.

2. Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.” He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush. His early financial support helped jump-start Barack Obama’s political career. Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Obama when he was running for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours of Obama’s announcement that he was running for President

3. Wants to curtail American sovereignty: Soros would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies. He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be “downsized.” In 1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”

4. Media Matters: Soros is a financial backer of Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group that hyperventilates over any conservative view that makes it into the mainstream media. Now its founder, David Brock, has openly declared war on Fox News, telling Politico that the group was mounting “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against the cable news channel, and would try to disrupt the commercial interests of owner Rupert Murdoch—an odd mission for a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational foundation that is barred from participating in partisan political activity.

5. Currency manipulation: A large part of Soros’ multibillion-dollar fortune has come from manipulating currencies. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused him of bringing down the nation’s currency through his trading activities, and in Thailand he was called an “economic war criminal.” Known as “The Man who Broke the Bank of England,” Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar profit.

6. Delusions: Soros has repeatedly said that he sees himself as a messianic figure. Who but a megalomaniac would make these comments? “I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of my self-importance—to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god” or “I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin.” If only the loony bin were an option. As it is, one of the wealthiest men in the world is using his billions to impose a radical agenda on America.

---------------------------------------

The fact that our do nothing republicans who are allegedly on his payroll certainly avoid creating a big deal about this fucking guy.

Talk about influence on our elections.

Oooops. I forgot. He spouts liberal talking points. Sooooo, he is good. He hates America. Sooooo, he is good.

Keep forgetting.


Probaby for the same reason no one is investigating the Koch Brothers--LOL

"Mr. Soros gave at least $33 million in one year to support already-established groups that emboldened the grass-roots, on-the-ground activists in Ferguson, according to the most recent tax filings of his nonprofit Open Society Foundations.

"The financial tether from Mr. Soros to the activist groups gave rise to a combustible protest movement that transformed a one-day criminal event in Missouri into a 24-hour-a-day national cause celebre."

Wow it looks like there's some scrubbing going on. Imagine that.

:lol:

Wow, it looks like there's some whining going on. Imagine that.

Because people need boogeymen to keep their fear alive.
 
So let's look at the claims...

Soros bands with donors to resist Trump, 'take back power'

And what exactly is wrong with this?

Here are some things this pathetic human being has done and is doing.

1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.

This is bad?

2. Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.” He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush.

Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Obama when he was running for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours of Obama’s announcement that he was running for President

So? You and your wealthy donors spent 8 years trying to remove Obama or make him a "one term president).

3. Wants to curtail American sovereignty: Soros would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies. He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be “downsized.” In 1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”

Exactly how is he trying to curtail our sovereignty?

4. Media Matters: Soros is a financial backer of Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group that hyperventilates over any conservative view that makes it into the mainstream media. Now its founder, David Brock, has openly declared war on Fox News, telling Politico that the group was mounting “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against the cable news channel, and would try to disrupt the commercial interests of owner Rupert Murdoch—an odd mission for a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational foundation that is barred from participating in partisan political activity.

What has Brock actually done?

5. Currency manipulation: A large part of Soros’ multibillion-dollar fortune has come from manipulating currencies.

How does that affect us? :dunno:

6. Delusions: Soros has repeatedly said that he sees himself as a messianic figure. Who but a megalomaniac would make these comments? “I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of my self-importance—to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god” or “I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin.” If only the loony bin were an option.

My goodness he sounds like Trump :)

George Soros is an American citizen, so his influence is qualitatively no different than what the Koch brothers do. Allegations that Putin influenced the election is an entirely different kettle of fish..., and it stinks from the head.
You know what the OP is really talking about....the "Evil Jewish Overlord Conspiracy."

I disagree. The Russians weren't the only players in exposing the Democrats, Obama, Clinton, DNC & liberal media. Whomever was responsible should be viewed as valuable...........Again because they exposed the Democrats, Obama, Clinton, DNC & media. Which is worse, the snitch or criminal?
 
Now Libs are starting to freak out about the investigation that they were screaming for yesterday. Suddenly they don't want Mueller to investigate. They want SOMEONE ELSE. Someone who won't really investigate.
Well, we see how the rehearsed talking points are and how the sheep just eat it up. We saw this right before our eyes with Colbert last week.

Yaaaaay!!!!!

Boooooo!!!!!

Baaaah!!! Baaaaahh!

What an idiot you are. Soros donated to causes that HELP PEOPLE. As opposed to the Koch Bros. who give money to those who seek to curb workers rights, lower wages, and destroy personal and individual freedoms in the name of corporatism.
Are you seriously pretending to be ignorant of the Koch Brothers' philanthropy?

The Koch's are slime. So is the Mercer family, who bought trump and bought him the presidency.

RWNJs are always in favor of big money until its used to further freedom, liberty, justice.

YOU voted for big money to control the election and YOU post in favor of it every day here. Now you get to live with your decisions.

He did as many people do - he survived. He was a child and he chose to survive.

Because the Republicans are spineless worms. While they pass on real investigations for fear of angering the electorate, the Dems laugh to the bank making up ones.
 
Here's a question for liberals. Let's falsely assume Russia was the only party behind releasing information on the Democrats. Which is worse, and can you justify it?

A. Russians exposing a corrupt Democrat party, Hillary, DNC and liberal media, including their part in corrupting the election.

B. A corrupt Democrat party, Hillary, DNC and liberal media, including their part in corrupting the election.

You can buy a presidency? Who knew? Hillary spent over a billion and didn't get one. What did she do wrong?

Are you still pretending ignorance of the Koch's philanthropy? Let me guess, you don't want to look it up.
