Citizen Soros: Manipulating the Media (Part 1 in a Series)
by Matthew VadumHe has conquered the world of finance and remains firmly on top of it. He writes bestselling books. He dominates leftist philanthropy. He co-founded the Democracy Alliance, an ultra-secretive billionaires’ club that wants to transform America into a European-style socialist state – or worse. He owns the Democratic Party. Now George Soros, who also fancies himself a philosopher, is positioning himself as a media magnate in order to continue his assault on America’s values and institutions.
Like the protagonist in the classic Orson Welles movie Citizen Kane, Soros can never have enough power. But unlike Charles Foster Kane, the haughty, imperious fictional media mogul, Soros views himself as much more than a mere leader. With a straight face he told reporters, “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” (The Independent – UK, June 3, 1993)
Although markets have helped make him a billionaire several times over, Soros has declared war on capitalism. He blames markets and something he calls “market fundamentalism”— and not the suffocating regulations and high taxes his funding of left-wing groups promotes – for the current economic slowdown. “The entire edifice of global financial markets has been erected on the false premise that markets can be left to their own devices, we must find a new paradigm and rebuild from the ground up.”
“The system we have now has actually broken down, only we haven’t quite recognized it and so you need to create a new one and this is the time to do it,” Soros told the Financial Times in 2009. In an interview with Der Spiegel the previous year Soros said European-style socialism “is exactly what we need now. I am against market fundamentalism. I think this propaganda that government involvement is always bad has been very successful – but also very harmful to our society.”
Only in the twisted messianic fantasies of this octogenarian billionaire whose demeanor is that of a James Bond villain could such phantom armies of marauding free market fundamentalists wreak havoc on America. Perhaps these were the same laissez-faire legionnaires who brought us Sarbanes-Oxley, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, government bailouts of private industry, farm subsidies, ethanol mandates, smart growth, and the disastrous Community Reinvestment Act in recent decades.
One thing’s for certain: Soros’s answers to the nation’s problems almost invariably involve more regulation and more government intervention in the marketplace. If a policy increases the power of the state and diminishes the power of the individual, Soros is for it.
Because Soros is a lightning rod for criticism, recipients of his money often lie about taking it or perform an elaborate dance of legalistic hairsplitting to conceal the fact he is funding them. For example, Paul Steiger, editor-in-chief of the left-leaning investigative journalism website Pro Publica, denied his organization accepted funding from Soros.
In criticizing an Investor’s Business Daily editorial, Steiger wrote (Dec. 24, 2009):
An unmitigated canard quoted in the editorial – one that has a goofy way of creeping into discourse from a variety of people who dislike something we have written – is that George Soros, the global billionaire, is behind our coverage. Soros has never given us a penny, and even if he had, none of our funders know in advance what we are going to write about, nor do they have any role in deciding what stories we do or don’t do.
In fact Pro Publica’s website contradicts Steiger, openly acknowledging Soros’s Open Society Foundations as a donor.
(Surprisingly, the liberal-dominated “No Labels” group founded last month to combat what it calls the “hyper-partisanship [that] is destroying our politics and paralyzing our ability to govern,” does not appear to be connected to Soros. The new 501c4 advocacy organization has a particularly vapid slogan: “Not Left. Not Right. Forward.”)
Glenn Beck, Threat to the Republic?
Not content to rest on his laurels, Soros has been buying up media properties for years in order to drive home his message to the American public that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too stupid to decide for themselves how to run their own lives.
But controlling segments of the media is not enough for him. Now he’s openly funding the fake media watchdog, Media Matters for America, founded by the formerly conservative journalist David Brock. The writers at Brock’s well-funded slander shop assiduously monitor Rush Limbaugh’s broadcasts, seethe over Andrew Breitbart’s latest expose, turn purple over Bill O’Reilly’s latest on-air editorial, and analyze every last semi-colon in Charles Krauthammer’s latest column in search of that rarest of unicorns, the beast known as “conservative misinformation.”
Soros’s donation to Media Matters suggests that intimidating journalists who dare to question his vision is now a top priority for Soros. Come down on the wrong side of an issue and risk being labeled ignorant or evil by the smear website. Say that tax cuts lead to economic prosperity, and you’re attacked. Criticize illegal immigration, and you’re attacked. Say affirmative action is racist and discriminatory, and you’re attacked.
“They are vicious. They only understand one thing: attack, attack, attack,” said GOP pollster Frank Luntz. David Folkenflik, media reporter for liberal National Public Radio, was similarly unimpressed by Media Matters. “They’re looking at every dangling participle, every dependent clause, every semicolon, every quotation to see if there’s some way it unfairly frames a cause, a party, a candidate that they may have some feelings for.”
Media Matters relies heavily on personal attacks, rather than substantive or fact-based arguments. It settles scores. Large swaths of the site are dedicated to skewering specific media personalities such as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, G. Gordon Liddy and Brock’s former friend Laura Ingraham. What results is not even-handed analysis of what they say or write, but personal scrutiny, including minute parsing and microscopic analysis of every comment and its presumed meaning.
Today, Media Matters is one of the loudest voices in the liberal media echo chamber as it feeds hard-line left-wing media critiques to liberal blogs, sympathetic and lazy reporters, and pundits in an attempt to silence non-compliant journalists and muscle right-leaning media figures out of the public debate entirely.
Even before the donation, Soros and Brock already worked closely together. Before the last presidential election they collaborated on a project called Progressive Media USA that vowed to spend $40 million trashing GOP presidential candidate John McCain. Media Matters exists to help protect Democrats and harm Republicans. Even the New York Times describes the organization as “highly partisan.”
As if on cue, Media Matters, and now Soros, believe Fox News is the greatest threat to the American republic. Both Soros and Brock had always denied that the billionaire funded Media Matters—and there was no definitive evidence of such a connection— but recently Soros proclaimed himself a new donor to the organization. Said Soros
Despite repeated assertions to the contrary by various Fox News commentators, I have not to date been a funder of Media Matters. However, in view of recent evidence suggesting that the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News hosts may incite violence, I have now decided to support the organization. Media Matters is one of the few groups that attempts to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast. I am supporting Media Matters in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.
In accepting a cool million from Soros, Brock promptly denounced Fox News host Glenn Beck as Public Enemy Number One.
From the moment in early 2009 that Roger Ailes enlisted Glenn Beck to the Fox News Channel’s new agenda – a battle to overturn the 2008 election results that Ailes likened to the “The Alamo” – Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 GOP attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends. Worse still, in recent months, Fox has allowed Glenn Beck’s show to become an out-of-control vehicle for the potential incitement of domestic terrorism. No American should be quiet about these developments – the degradation of our media and the reckless endangerment of innocent lives. George Soros, a philanthropist of the highest integrity, unfortunately knows first-hand what it’s like to be grotesquely caricatured and flatly lied about on Fox. Media Matters is grateful that he has decided to lend his voice and support our goal of greater journalistic accuracy and accountability. We are especially pleased that in this moment of hidden right-wing billionaire money corrupting our democracy, Mr. Soros, upon deciding to support our efforts, quickly and transparently has made that support public.
Only in the topsy-turvy world that Brock and other leftists occupy could holding governments accountable be considered antisocial behavior. Whatever happened to the journalists’ mantra that it was their purpose to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable? What about speaking truth to power?

Soros is an EVIL CONTROLLING BASTARD PROGRESSIVE
Project project project, that's all the left and their ilk do. Whatever they're saying about conservatives you can bet that it REALLY applies to them. Media Matters is all about disseminating misinformation and yet they project that onto others. They're working over time now to do as much damage as possible before even more Americans are informed as to who the enemies of our nation really are.
This jerk is 80, how much longer can he last until Jesus (or Satan) calls him home.
.
Don't forget for a minute that the same idea of power that has corrupted him, is ever-present in Washington, D.C., and Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Shumer, Hillary, Bill and all the rest have tasted its sweetness and want more.
The newly-elected members of Congress are only in the beginning stages of their temptations. But it's all of a piece, and all too late, now that we've slowly ceded our individual liberties to the growing maw of the unfettered State.
Soros is merely chief among the men who would be gods; but the Most High sits in the heavens and laughs.
Of course he's doing that. He knows that the media has no brains so they will do anything he tells them to do.
Soros became a naturalized citizen in 1961. Barack Obama claims to have been born in Aug. of 1961.
Does this mean anything? Is this important? I don't know, but it sure seems odd to me…
He knows money = POWER. To have the kind of power he wants, people must live in poverty. But when your the KING it's all his. This is just another Person who should be charged with TREASON. He is behind almost everything that is wrong with the country. If things don't change he will be called King Soros. Government is his knights, all others are his pawns, MSNBC, ABC,NBC,CNN and CBS. And the people are just maggots in his eyes not fit to live just trespassing on his lands.
George Schwartz = Ellsworth Toohey.
And the way to deal with him is the way Howard Roark dealt with the man who was intent upon destroying him for his genius;
"Mr Roark, why don't you tell me what you think of me?"
"But I don't think of you."
The sOROS controlled media does nothing but parrot its lies of propaganda over and over again. WE THE PEOPLE are waking up each and every day and know who and what this evil man is about. The socialists should remember that: "Liars never Win and Winners never Lie".
I will be resting a little easier when he leaves this plane of existence. I view soros as the embodiment of evil. One who uses humans as puppets can only be EVIL.
On the bright side, it did not end well for Charles Foster Kane maybe the same fate awaits Soros.
just think the jerk made money..he can loose money and power….When he thinks he is a God is when he falls…By george
Soros is aging and will be gone soon. WHEN that happens, who will be there with his money and influence to do the same? I've never heard he has any "infrastructure".
What a surprise that a former Nazi collaborator like Soros would do all he could to increase the power of the State and engage in propaganda.
If only the Devil will make some one do it. Just asking and a little prayer.
Unfortunately he has 2 sons who have been trained in the same thought as their father.
I personally blame Soros for ALL the rancor (I swear I'll never use the word vitriol ever again) in the world. Along with many deaths in many countrys over the years. Look at all he has destroyed. Some business model, hum……
Even he shall pass.
Well, maybe not all….
Does anyone remember the old movie when the evil brain was trying to take over the world ?
when i think of Soros , i think of that movie.
In other words, if any conservatives were injured or killed in Tucson we can lay it at the door of the angry rhetoric of Soros and Brock?
As this coot is exposed he will continue to grow arms. He may not have an heir apparent and that would be due in part to his narcissistic personality. This man will continue to leverage every dime he has to break US. What he doesn’t fully understand is that we will never expose our bellies for him. He will have to use every dime and in the end we will still triumph. I say bring it George, Americans like a challenge.
If there were anyone in the world that reminds me of the fictitious "Elliot Carver" from that yarn Tomorrow Never Dies, its the Evil Emperor SOROS…
I'm gonna call MI-6, and see if 007 is available…
Here's your Soros in action on MSNBC. Notice all the slanderous remarks that the left media makes about our President, but boy that doesn't hold them back from critizing people like Beck, Rush, Hannity, etc., who none have gone as loony as Olbermann and the other wackjobs at CNN, CBS and ABC etc. Soros and GovtMedia is Satan.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZkaYTg0rGc
This evil bastard manipulates societies to enrich himself, be certain when he’s finished with the likes of Brock, he will dispel that turncoat, without a thought. Fortunately he’s in his ‘80s and not long for this earth.
What the left perceives as "attacks," I perceive as the unvarnished truth, or at least attempts to present it.
It appears that Beck, et al, are finding their marks. When opponents scream increasingly loudly, you can be relatively certain that you're outing things they do not want exposed to the sunshine.
Soros is a good example of the adage that "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Everyone in America should read more books.
Start with: "Radical-In-Chief" and "Shadow Party".
After these two, you will find your own way. These two have enough information in them to make any American do a 360 on both Soros and Obama.
Why the Right's need for imagined bogeymen? The need to see danger under every bush? Is it pathological?
Or just the hallmark of a small mind?
He's not a U.S. Citizen.
Well that's just frikkin KEWEL, Jim.
And sooo true. The more this man's ugly face and name are in the news, the more it feeds his ego. I have no proof at all, but I suspect that many of these "kingmakers" the media positively diefies, and we vilify are not half of either. Soros is just an amoral, crafty rich guy. When he can't get what he wants by "fuzzy logic" deception, he just buys it.
But hey, if it wasn't for sale, no price would be high enough.
I'm far more interested in his "client" list than YET ANOTHER "Evil, wicked, mean and bad and nasty Soros" expose. Noted and logged, people. Soros = bad mojo.
NOW WHAT?
Even berore Soros dies we need to focus on those with the same toxic beliefs, whose only goal is to destroy American values, economy and culture, and replace that with Oppressive Communism! We need to prevent that, starting with Socialist Democrats and Socialist Professors indoctrinating our students!
Talk about small minds. Your miniscule intellect does not allow you to see what is in front of your face. Your lack of intelligence makes you the perfect tool. You have no idea what is before you. Pathological? Yes the progressive socialist is pathological and blind. Study Soros you road apple and then come back with something smart for a change.
Here's a tip for those of you under the illusion you actually have something to add to the debate: In his very first paragraph Mr. Vadum makes the claim, "He owns the Democratic party."
This is complete nonsense, of course, as the Democratic Party isn't a commodity to be personally owned by one person, but he said it, posted it and and believes it. This is why the beliefs on this site will never move beyond the fringe, will never gain mainstream status, and are easily dismissed as paranoid ramblings of the unstable.
You know, in discussing some stuff on this very same inty-lectual level, many’s the occasion I’ve been blindsided by that old, historic, totally retarded meme: “How do you speak to power?”. Logical decorum provides no possible answer to such a convoluted question. So rather than abandon the challenge, and always possessing a spare banana peel, I reply in the same dialect: “How do you speak to stupid?”
Time’s better spent rearranging your sock drawer than engaging these trolls for reason’s other than amusement….
Isn't it getting rather obvious that the only thing standing in the way of the One World Order, and their Anti-Christ from coming to power, is AMERICA, and conservatives. It's the conservatives who believe in the Constitution of AMERICA, and especially Christians who love freedom. The big lie, is to blame everyone who believes in freedom for the violence, when in fact it is Obama that has used divisive tactics, telling his followers to get in their faces, and when they bring a knife, they're told to bring guns. Lovers of the Constitution are now the only ones, stopping a complete takeover of middle earth, from these radical Orc's. Obama serves the dark lord Soros, ….for Soros is not an American.
The hallmark of a small mind is an inability to read and learn, traits you clearly have in abundance.
Now hurry up. You're going to miss the new "Teletubbies" episode child.
By the way, speaking of imagined bogeymem did you see Pelosi blamed Bush for the November ass kicking you all got, yet you talk to us about bogeymen.
Just like Obamugabe.
Wow….you read that in a literal sense….how astute of you. here's a hint…..the Progressives own the Democratic machine now, (which is to say it's not your Grandmothers party anymore). Since Soros, the Un-American is huge in the Progressive movement he can be and has been very influential in the Dems platform. This is how he owns the party….understand now? Now, Radley, don't take things so literally all the time….you can now crawl back on your mammy's teet where it's nice, safe and warm.
Urgent message from team parasite, remember to point and laugh.
Same could be applied to the Left, couldn't it?
What I've been wondering is when his time is up on this earth, who will be brought to the forefront?
hopefully when he dies, his ideas go with him.
excellent comparison.
Yep, I agree. Let him spend it all and then go down as a brokenn bitter old man living out his life in pain and anger and bitterness.
This creep truly is a danger to the Republic, and must be stopped. He must be exposed as much as possible in every format available.
The Potter of Bedford Falls. We are on to him now and his behind the curtain antics. I hope he continues to spend in a flury of endeavors to create his chaos. Oh, it is chaos he invisions and not utopia. He is bitter, twisted, miserable and wishes it for us all. Sad really, I pray for him as well.
Man Satan will have fun with him………He calls himself God….special things waiting for him
As a believer in the 1st amendment, I will fight for your right to post inane pap such as this. As a practitioner of my 1st amendment right, Phuck Off!
Birds of a feather and all that.
Soros reminds me of Psalms 2. "Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? … The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them."
Although Soros claims to be a god and must be opposed for the evil he does, it is important to remember that the true God is still in control. One day Soros will die and his empire will wither away to dust. He will be lucky to be a footnote in a history textbook. It eventually happens to all "gods." Only the true God remains.
"Although markets have helped make him a billionaire several times over, Soros has declared war on capitalism. He blames markets and something he calls “market fundamentalism”—
What a hypocritical bastard.
He is the true destroyer of this nation with both his money and puppets. I consider him the most dangerous person of the 20th and 21 century.
So explain to me the lefts hatred of Sara Palin.
That's a little "g" for the destructor.
Yes, but a truly large extended family.

"The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves."
George Washington
He made is money by breaking countries banks all around the globe. He broke the bank of England by betting against it. He collapses currencies, that is just what he does. He hates US.
I agree with you Rick. The really scary part is he continues to train his minions and while none are quite as powerful or as obscenely wealthy… THERE ARE A HELL OF A LOT OF THEM!
I tell you Sir George Boole would turn over in his grave if he knew you had hijacked his surname…..
Speaking of small minds….maybe this will help in a small way to expand yours.

The damage done to America with the help of this man is simply breathtaking…This monster is the devil reincarnate.
A link below shows 'video' of him admitting turning fellow JEWS into the SS….
The other link is a great piece by David Horowitz….
He a major player in the New World Order movement that some on this site are afraid to even think about…..Take a good long look at this man, what he owns, what he says, and you will come to the inevitable conclusion that he wants to destroy us….. The plan is to crash the economy, devalue the dollar and pick the bones clean…

That's how the rich Libs work- they all make and earn their own money the good Capitalistic ways starting out (except the Kennedy's – they made theirs illegally), but when they get to the top, they want to change the rules so that others can't do it, because it will now be against the law. Not to mention that they always are espousing higher taxation AFTER they already are rich – so that even if that other guy gets some money to get ahead – it's stolen by the "new" rules and laws.
Why this guys isn't in jail is 20+ countries is beyond my understanding.
Don't you find it curious people that those who have weak arguments, hidden agendas, or small minds seem to always resort to name calling and or outright lies to articulate their views?
The poster in this thread Comrade Hooligan is a textbook example of the discourse outlined in Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, it is a pattern that emerges over and over again. The truth is the victim as the end justifies any means.
The way to defeat these twits is to use their tactics on them. As Sarah would say, it's kinda like goin bear huntin with a switch, not happenin junior.
Thats all thay have.
It never fails, they don't have anything, their masters have tought them the art of the smear campaign, beyond that they are a laughable joke. I still check though to see if any of them have the brains to say anything of substance, occasionally I find some can spell, but other than that, nothing but lies that don't stand up to the sunlight….
You have the exact trait Soros looks for; stupidity.
Well, here's our starting point.
http://underinformation.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/...
What's up with the Lefts' constantly assigning characterizations to those on the right that have no root in reality and then using those falsely assigned qualities to demonize the right? What's up with the Left not understanding that, if your basic rhetorical premise is wrong, anything subsequently related to that basic premise will be wrong also? What's up with the Left being f****** morons, I guess, is the question I'm really asking. Is it the hallmark of no mind or the hallmark of a mind that was destroyed by at least 12 years of Regressivist manipulation by the
schoolfool system?"“How do you speak to stupid?”"
I like that, Sir. I've always thought one of the dumbest things the Left like to say when they're trying their hardest to sound their smartest is something like, "speaking truth to power" or some other meaningless psycho-babble. BTW, I believe "Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" is the correct answer to your question.
Great job wldbil, keep up your great work. Be sure to store the one I have posted above you.
DITTO.
Lies? What did I lie about? What's my weak argument? That the Democratic Party is not a commodity?
Is it? On which market exactly can I purchase it? Can you provide a link? What's the price? Because I'd like to own it.
Go ahead. Provide me with evidence that I've both lied and that the Democratic Party is a commodity.
I'll wait.
Here's your second hint. No one owns the Democratic Party. Because it isn't a good or service which can actually be purchased. I believe I already said this. Sorry the argument was beyond your ability to grasp.
This is why you have no credibility. Because you have no strong arguments, you make things up.
And you sound ridiculous doing it. Which is why you're views are fringe views.
Of course, Captain Obvious, it is not literally true that Soros owns the Democratic Party but as a donor he wields more influence in it than anyone else on earth. In that sense he "owns" it. Lighten up.
Fox News. Rush Limbaugh. Glenn Beck. Laura Ingraham. Michael Savage. The litany of the fascist socialists goes on and on as they prove themselves incapable of learning a fundamental truth voiced by none other than Donald Trump in his first autobiography: It doesn't matter how vociferously negative your press becomes – your enemies are merely keeping your brand name in the public eye. It's advertising that can't be bought at any price, provided free of charge by people who despise them. Deliciously ironic, no?
You didn't answer my question. Do I need to rephrase it for you?
Only an idiot like you wold be stupid enough to think that I could be tasked by you with errands…
Now go crawl back up on uncle George's lap like a good little boi…..
You didn't answer my question either.
I can read and learn. So there goes your argument.
Did you want to try actually answering the question?
"Screw George Soros"!!! And the horse he rode in on!
Maybe. I'm willing to entertain the possibility. Make the argument.
I don't believe it's done out of fear. I think the the feelings are that she represents what's worst about Americans.
Did you want to try answering the question that I posed?
Actually, Soros was not born a U.S. citizen but he became one through the naturalization process.
How am I stupid? Because I asked a legitimate question?
Yeah. How stupid of me.
Namely, what characterizations?
Which one would you like answered? The one where I ask you if you stopped kicking your dog or beating your wife? You are a road apple run along before someone steps on you or it rains.
Easier to buy off a few Government officials that run a tyrannical system than to buy off the Liberated masses.
I love how I'm being called stupid when I'm actually no such thing.
That's how weak your arguments are. Instead of answering the question or refuting it's thesis, it's far easier to just demonize the opposition. Which leads me back to the original question…
Who's screaming? It's you that's screaming.
I used to scoff at the supposition that people could be talked into insanity until I started reading the B.S. the feeble-minded pissants put up here. Good day to you, too, P2O. I guess that co-opting the education system, years ago, and the subsequent dumbing down is finally paying off . . . . . in spades.
George Soros is not a figment of the right's collective imagination. He's done specific things to hurt America because he believes the country needs to be taken down a peg –or twenty– as you'll see in the two remaining installments. He wants the U.S. to become more like socialist Europe and he is on record as saying the murderous, barbaric government of Red China works better than the U.S. government. He is not responsible for everything wrong in America but he is involved in so many terrible, destructive things that weaken the nation, hence the article.
That pretty much rings the bell; just couldn't blurt out the "Derrrrrrrrrrrr" part, but instead took the long way out for the benefit of the dregs and simpletons who troll this forum hoping in some magnificent miracle they'd catch the drift. LOL
Soros: Target.
Well, it appears that you are continuing to prove your ignorance. Try presenting a thesis and argument instead of inane interrogatives.
A classmate of the man accused of shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords this morning describes him as "left wing" and a "pot head" in a series of posts on Twitter this afternoon.
Caitie Parker did not immediately respond to our request for an interview, but her "tweets" in the hours after the shooting paint a picture of Jared Loughner as a substance-abusing loner who had met Giffords before the shooting. She says, Loughner described the congresswoman as "stupid and unintelligent." We've confirmed that Parker and Loughner went to school together at Mountain View High School in Tucson and that both attended Pima Community College, so her claims of knowing Loughner seem to be legit. Parker "tweets" that she and Loughner were in the band together and were friends until 2007 when he became "reclusive" after getting alcohol poisoning and dropping out of college. She describes him as "quite liberal" and as a "political radical."

The Left has its imagined bogeymen for Saturday's shooting. No real connection can be estabished between the shooter and anyone on the Right. There's the argument. If you can't accept it, then make a connection that sticks and is real.
Beck should have Issa and Lamar Smith on his program, live, sitting across the desk from him, and give both of them Beck's evidence, in a nutshell, on Soros.
Only in your world does the tail wag the dog…..fool.
boolean_radley replied to your comment on Citizen Soros: Manipulating the Media (Part 1 in a Series) / Big Government:
I don't believe it's done out of fear. I think the the feelings are that she represents what's worst about Americans.
Go to comment
This was sent to my e-mail in regards to my reply "So explain to me the lefts hatred of Sara Palin."
but when I returned to the post to reply it had magically vanished.
My response to boolean_radley was going to be "What exactly does Sara Palin represent that is worst about Americans?"
"Soros has been buying up media properties for years in order to drive home his message to the American public that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too stupid"
"
It's government that is too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish and too stupid.
Were you paying any attention at all or is the crack getting in the way?
"Why the Right's need for imagined bogeymen? The need to see danger under every bush? Is it pathological?
Or just the hallmark of a small mind?"
Truth sounds like that to Regressives. Hang around–as you're deprogrammed, you'll get used to it.
"By the way, speaking of imagined bogeymem did you see Pelosi blamed Bush for the November ass kicking you all got, yet you talk to us about bogeymen."
Perfect. That's all these morons do is create faux bogeymen.
