Hi luissa 
So do you agree that soros is connected or do you agree that Koch doesn't fund the teaparties

Oh and who, what, and how?

It was actually $185,000 according to this link, the other one I read said $170,000. Sorry!

Soros: not a funder of Wall Street protests | Reuters
Soros spokesman Michael Vachon said that Soros has not "funded the protests directly or indirectly." He added: "Assertions to the contrary are an attempt by those who oppose the protesters to cast doubt on the authenticity of the movement."
Soros has donated at least $3.5 million to an organization called the Tides Center in recent years, earmarking the funds for specific purposes. Tides has given grants to Adbusters, an anti-capitalist group in Canada whose inventive marketing campaign sparked the first demonstrations last month.
Vachon said Open Society specified what its donations could be used for. He said they were not general purpose funds to be used at the discretion of Tides -- for example for grants to Adbusters. "Our grants to Tides were for other purposes."
So can we stop stating Soros donated money to them now?
He donates money to groups such as these:

Some of those groups donated money to, sent people to, and had a physical presence at OWS locations.
Like I said the ties of soros to OWS are as strong as, if not stronger than, any ties Koch has to the tea party. Going by your own standard used to tie Koch to the teaparties I can make this claim all day long, unless you want to backtrack on the whole koch/teaparty business......
You mean class warfare, right?I'm fascinated by your ability to cloud your own mind.
No, don't put Obama aside...his attempt to support the idea that there is a class that must be attacked is a key characteristic of the Left.
Had you remained au fait on this topic, you would be conversant with the facts that Wall Street is not the origin of the problem, that America has no permanent 'wealthy,' and that the only (slim) hope this incompetent has of re-election is to convince folks like yourself that he stands between "the 1%" and the 'wealth they have stolen'.
Sadly, no matter the remediation I provide, you remain immune.
You know what the funny thing is? Class Warfare is the product of someone interpreting it into English falsely. The original phrase wasn't Class Warfare. I always thought it was interesting.
And if you think I blindly support Obama now, well you haven't been paying attention. And it has nothing to do with attacking a certain class, it about holding certain people accountable for the problem they created and not just catering to that certain group while screwing over the middle class and poor. Of course, people like you will let yourself be brainwashed people who call these people ignorant. They might not agree with your point of view, but to call them ignorant is being a little partisan.
Luissa I have 3 questions for clarification before I respond to you.
1) What is the problem that was created?
2) Who created the problem?
3) how did they create the problem?
