Last week, Drummond Pike took his FOX News fight to a whole new level, this time painting all of the right with a scarlet letter. Coincidentally, Salon.com’s Glenn Greenwald had also published a similar piece in much the same vein, only a week prior.

In his opinion contribution piece to Politico titled “Why Does the Right Hate Soros?”, the founder and CEO of Tides Foundation pondered aloud the imaginary reasons he’s fabricated in his mind for the animosity toward the Hungarian born billionaire.

His conclusion? Because we hate immigrants.

This is the typical left. When you don’t get the response you want, inject a new element of manufactured hate into the mix – when you can’t make it about race, make it about immigration. Drummond Pike even decided to step up the rhetoric, implying that George Soros is in danger because of right-wing media outlets and bloggers. But the sad truth behind this piece, behind all of these public letters, boycotts and petitions is that they are all coordinated, and they are all aimed at turning the public opinion against those who do not share the ideals of the leftist agenda.

Some highlights from Pike’s opinion piece:

You gotta hand it to most politicians: only seven Senators stuck by ACORN and the White House is doing its best to bail on the group caught on tape helping James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles in their (thankfully fake) effort to set up prostitution rings involving children.

Pols know when to let a disaster occur without getting themselves mussed. But not so with the hard-charging, uber-wealthy lefty funder who has been enabling ACORN’s seedy action for decades. Drummond Pike, longtime head of the Tides funding mechanism, has come out swinging at Fox News for attacking ACORN. In fact, he goes so far as to claim:

I wonder how many nonprofit organizations — even big, well-heeled ones like the Nature Conservancy or the Red Cross — could withstand the kind of media assault and unscrupulous tactics deployed by Fox? I doubt many could.

One wonders what Mr. Pike knows about the Red Cross that we do not. We have generally been under the impression they work to alleviate suffering, rather than foster it.
