The Left: The smear ad published against Gen. Petraeus has drawn attention to its sponsor, MoveOn.org. But the fingerprints of the group's chief financial backer, George Soros, were all over it. Who is this man and what is he up to?
To read Soros' own spun story, he's a Jewish survivor of Nazi-occupied Hungary who pulled himself up by his bootstraps, studied economics in England, became a U.S. citizen in 1961 and made a multibillion-dollar fortune as a financier who pioneered hedge funds.
Over the years, Soros has written books giving his philosophical take on global affairs and acquired a reputation as something of a "stateless statesman." He calls himself a philanthropist and has given away $5 billion of his now $8.5 billion fortune through his principal vehicle, the Open Society Institute. The institute, in turn, has passed cash on to far more radical groups, such as MoveOn.org.

These profiles rarely mention that Soros was a Nazi collaborator whose fortune was begun with money stolen from murdered Jews.
Soros’ activities should be publicly exposed, continuously.
That’s the “freedom oriented” way of defeating the left.
I don’t like the implication of “looked at more closely” as it implies the force of government authority.
bttt

Soros is an enemy of the USA. He should be in jail.
Not Necessarily! It means an investigative reporter (they call them Real Journalists, not MSM type pucks) take a look at his money exchange dealings. I don’t think the way he made his money will pass scrutiny. He apparently bought and sold and traded one currency for another. A deal like that has to be dirty somewhere. It is my guess that if this guy were a major contributer to the RNC, he would be playing checkers with Jack Abramoff right now.
Through networks of nongovernmental organizations, Soros intends to ruin the presidency of George W. Bush "by any legal means necessary" and knock America off its global pedestal. "His view of America is so negative," says Sen. Joe Lieberman, who, like Gen. David Petraeus, has been a target of Soros' electoral "philanthropy." "The places he's put his money are . . . so destructive that it unsettles me." Soros' aim seems to be to make the U.S. just another client state easily controlled by the United Nations and other one-world groups where he has lots of friends.
That’s exactly how it should be done.
Soros and his minions need to have their agendas and methods totally exposed to the public, through some good reporting and publicity.
Right on. This guy is doing to the United States of America what the left accuses the United States of doing: Subverting other Nations in the world via the NSC/CIA/DIA.

COMMIES RUNNING THE "USA" GAUNLET
OH, AND I JUST LOVE THIS GUY TOO!
He was along the gauntlet with a megaphone.
I thought James, James Bond took care of Dr. No!
“The war on terror cannot be won,” he has said.
Which echo’s pretty much what we hear from the Democrats these days, with only a couple of exceptions.
The irony of course if it can’t be won, the Soro’s and the Democrats will all either be executed in the name of Allah, or forced to convert to Islam, and end Democracy here in America.
Better yet I hope the rotten bastard has a massive MI and meets the devil. Nothing redeeming about this POS.
No wonder that most of them scattered to the Metro stations after the march. They were emotionally shattered by the thousands of pro-troops counter protesters who gave them all kinds of He!! along their hate-America march.
Poor babies.
LOL!!
