Could this guy be considered a serious threat to national security?

Hrm.

[Enterprise]

Maybe some day we'll see Soros pulled out of a septic tank.

[COEXERJ145]

Reminds me of James Bond's archenemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Sort of makes Dr. No, Goldfinger, and Blofeld look like Cub Scouts.

[CzarNicky]

"Reminds me of James Bond's archenemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld."

more like Ernst Stavro Blowhard

"Maybe some day we'll see Soros pulled out of a septic tank"

LOL, Also with a Colombian "necktie"

..could this guy be considered a serious threat to national security?...

If only. But unfortunately he's just another zillionaire, ashamed at heart of how he made his money, a Hungarian Ted Turner. Now, of course, he wants a 'legacy.'. Remember how Clinton turned that into a dirty word?

[Byron_the_Aussie]

He he. Yeah. All he's missing in the pic above is a shark tank and a Persian cat.

[Just Lori]

I sure wish these guys would stop wasting time writing a story with thousands of flowery words, (do they get paid by the word?) and JUST GET TO THE POINT!!!! I don't have hours to spend reading the literary gumbo, ok?

[OldPossum]

You're right. This could have come straight from the pages of "The Washington Post."

One time I had the occasion to talk to a WP reporter. I asked her that very question, to which she laughed and said, "No, by the adjective."

[mrustow]

why, when he himself has obviously lived the American dream to its fullest, has he devoted this year to unseating the man whom many Americans still believe is the living embodiment of that dream?

Since when has the American dream been that every president's son has the chance to grow up to be president?

But the hardest mud to remove has been the false claim that he called Mr Bush a Nazi. For Mr Soros, whose experience of growing up a Jew in wartime Hungary gave him first-hand experience of the Nazis, it was a galling slur.

"I've said that when Bush says those who are not with us are with the terrorists it reminds me of the Germans. This has been distorted to my calling Bush a Nazi, which I didn't and wouldn't exactly because I know that system and I know the difference.

When Soros said "Germans," he was talking about the Nazis. Had he said that Bush reminded him of the postwar Germans, it would not have been a condemnation, and no one would have known what the hell his point was. Thus, Soros was not slurred; rather, he was properly condemned, and is now talking out of both sides of his mouth.

I'm not crazy about Bush or Soros. One is aggressively anti-intellectual, while the other has delusions of intellect. I used to assume they were political antipodes (a description they would agree with), but since Bush called on the world to come to America, they seem much less antithetical than used to be the case.

From the brilliant mind of Registered:

[FRgal4u]

Soros is the best frontman for Bush to defeat the dems. If I am a strategist for the GOP, I'll link every word, every move Soros made to the dems, to Kerry, Soros will be the ultimate devil the dems wish they have never slept with. Think about this - Soros is pro legalization of pot, he is calling for the US to play second to the UN, he is better against the US dollar hoping a crash in the US stock market to enrich himself and he is the devil who has caused the Russians plenty of pain when the oligarchs stole the fortunes of the country. He may have the money to do all sorts of things, but he does not have a message that the American people would buy into - the "burst" of the American Superamacy Bubbke - lol -

He is the best friend Bush and the GOP could ever hope for if they know how to play the cards. The dems is trying to sell the image they are for the small people, the regular joes - but wait - Kerry is the wealthiest senator and Edards is a multimillionarie as well - and worse yet, we have a billionaire financing these guys - so ARE THEY REALLY FOR YOU POOR PEOPLE?? Link Soros to the dems, he will destroy the dems just like Michael Moore destroy wes Clark.

[foreverfree]

What does Soros sound like voicewise?

foreverfree

[nopardons]

Lantos ( sp ? ) the horrid Congresscritter.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

LOL !!!

...Illuminating...<><

[Jorge]

These quotes from Soros sound like something from a paranoid psycho case.

This man seems terrified of every good thing Bush stands for, and can't seem to handle the idea that a man of faith and conviction could ever be a world leader.
How sad.

[Scannall]

What is it with kookburger billionaires stalking the Bush family? First it was the hand grenade with a bad hair cut stalking #41, now it's Sleazy socialist Soros after #43.

There is a lot of talk that Soros made his fortune by manipulating the currency in a number of countries, wrecking the economy of those countries. I think that kind of activities are reprehensible.
