Lefty Professor Sachs Hates Being Called Out On Adelson-Soros Double Standard
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Sometimes, an image says it all. Check out the screengrab after the jump of Jeffrey Sachs. The lefty professor is manifestly miffed at Joe Scarborough.

Why? Because the Morning Joe host called him out on his egregious double-standard. Sachs had labeled Republican Super PAC funder Sheldon Adelson "completely unlikable" and said he shouldn't be involved in American politics. But when Scarborough asked whose approach he prefers: Adelson's--who gives openly in his own name--or George Soros's--who funnels his money through myriad corporations to hide his influence--Sachs suddenly claimed he wasn't attacking one side or the other. Righhht.

Sorry Mr. Sach, there are alot of Sheldon Adelson out there and I am proud he is putting his considerable fortune for the Country best interests.

I am sure many here if they had a personal fortune around 28 Billion would do what he is doing to save this country.

I bet he wouldn’t have attacked Adelson, if he was giving money to Obama, instead of Gingrich.

The lefty guy didn’t have enough time to tell us how “likable” is Soros *grin*

As of Dec. 31, 2001, Barack Obama had raised $125 million for his campaign, topping Mitt Romney’s $56 million. Wall Street supporters account for a big chunk of that. On March 1, Obama’s financial industry friends will host a $35,800-a-plate dinner for him in New York.

Jeffrey Sachs is no mere “lefty professor”. His “shock therapy” and collusion with Soros and the banksters helped destroy the economy of Russia and other former communist countries under Yeltsin. It took Putin and oil/gas to fix (sort of) what Sachs had done.

Later, Sachs admitted he had been wrong.

Then he went on to propose globalist policies that would do to most of the capitalist world (via massive transfer of money to the Third World) what he had done to Russia!!! He is also WAY soft on islam, and still in cahoots with Soros.

So Sachs’ “repentance” is phony!!!!

Hugh Hendry took this guy down a few notches in the past. It was highly amusing to see the difference between a PhD who *talks* about money vs. a abrasive Scot who actually handles money.

Perhaps there is more going on here beneath the surface...I believe both Sachs and Adelson are Jewish, and Sachs’ extra venom for Adelson may come from the fact that Sachs believes Adelson is an apostate from the tribe since he went to the right and not the left.

He’s a true believer. Once he gets started on his speech, there’s nothing Joe can say that gets him off it.
