Why are all lefties such hypocrites?

[observer5]

"The man-bites-dog nature of the anticapitalist article from the capitalist mogul brought it attention, but it was so appallingly stupid that it provoked the ire of even the typically mild-mannered, centrist journalist Robert Samuelson of Newsweek. He called Soros "a crackpot" and his essay "gibberish" akin to the "Unabomber's manifesto in its sweeping, unsupported, and disconnected generalizations."

Says it all...

I quite agree, this Soros has become quite frightening. He shows an increasing tendency to demigogory. In combination with the fascistic tendencies of those he funds their success could be devastating.

Soros...the sugar daddy for the pro-dope crowd.

Why are all lefties such hypocrites?

Because they only have one principle: Power at all costs.

[Conservateacher]

"Most voters are blessedly immune to dumb arguments even when they are well-funded."

Wish I could agree with this. At least the "most" part. However, this is a society where whoever has the most yard signs wins.

Yes, unfortunately, we live in a society where the great majority of people are clueless when it comes to politics. Fortunately, there is a trend in the opposite direction, as recent research has suggested.

They just want to h'ep us, don't ya know. Blech. What is it about massive amounts of money that corrupts so deeply?? Perhaps it's the Faustian bargains they make to acquire the money that pushes their behavior.

[fortunecookie]

Because they only have one principle: Power at all costs.

And absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[Conservateacher]

"Fortunately, there is a trend in the opposite direction, as recent research has suggested."

I see this too. It's good news. But I am always amazed by intelligent friends who are totally oblivious where it comes to politics.

Ask them about entertainment or sports and they are "up to speed". Politics - forget it.

It's funny, I'm reading a book called "Wittgenstein's Poker" right now. It's an account of the one-time, highly emotionally charged confrontation between the charismatic, subjectivist Wittgenstein and the low-key, objectivist Popper at Oxford University's philosophy club's weekly meeting. It was October 25th, 1946, and the two had a face-off. Wittgenstein may have brandished a poker at Popper, depending on whose account you hear. It's a fascinating book.

I'm only a quarter of the way through it, but from what I'm understanding so far, Popper and Soros are NOT compatible. I suspect Soros isn't terribly intellectual.

[Prodigal Son]

These millions Soros is pouring into this draws into question his competency as an investor because this is a sure loser if I ever saw one. He is p!$$ing his money away here.

[wizardoz]

WHOOPS! Not Oxford, King's College at Cambridge. Sorry, all!

[cars for sale]

this Soros thing is of no surprise. The Devil needs
people in the field , we know this or as they say
"it is written". Soros is today's face of deceit and intent
insulated with enuf money to provide lifetime protections.

The bigger sadness is the bread crumbs trail of
birds who eat his offerings.

1. Popper is revolving in his grave.
2. AINO ping.

This is a superb article with a short history of this dangerous and evil/vile anti American, George $oreA$$.

Thanks for posting it, and I have bookmarked it.

My tagline shows a little of how I feel about this evil/vile POS, who should be flushed into the cesspool of those who have hated America and failed.

[MonroeDNA]

Rich useful idiot bump!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the ping about this vile/evil AINO POS!

Soros has no room to talk. He himself reminds me of the Nazis. Typical sociopath....he uses his own accusations against others.

Soros is the single largest menace to the world. I am waiting for his transition to the next life with great impatience.

Soros funded more death culture activity in his lifetime than we can overcome in ten lifetimes.
