And there we had JonPreston posting a total lie by mischaracterizing my words as "a spirited defense of George Soros", when in fact they were nothing of the sort.
Seriously, where does such vicious lying come from, if not learned in a propaganda seminar somewhere?
What George Soros said about Ukraine in a 2014 CNN interview
In May 2014, he spoke with CNN host Fareed Zakaria about his philanthropic efforts in relation to the conflict then occurring between Ukraine and Russia.
Zakaria first asked about revolutions among Eastern bloc countries in 1989 that led to the end of communist regimes in Eastern Europe.
"One of the things that many people recognized about you was that you, during the revolutions of 1989, funded a lot of dissident activities, civil society groups in Eastern Europe and Poland, the Czech Republic," Zakaria said. "Are you doing similar things in Ukraine?"
Soros responded: "Well, I set up a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of Russia. And the foundation has been functioning ever since. And it played a — an important part in events now."
