What makes you think that there is no opposition to Soros' presence in the Ukraine? The guys that messed up his suit certainly aren't pleased to see him and they, presumably, are members of a wider nationalist movement. The extent of the opposition can be debated but I believe that there is a significant body of people in that country that want no part of what Soros stands for.

So to distill it all down, you don't like Soros but you hate Pravda more. They've done a "hit piece" on somebody you don't like. For the wrong reasons, according to you.

I think it's rather good. A former communist propaganda rag, now under "new management", trashes a global socialist.

Firstly, the my main point was that THIS article did show that.

Secondly, what makes you think that the U.S. did not celebrate the attack of Sep 11? There were people dancing on rooftops in NJ, after all. So it must be that Americans loved the attacks.

Clearly what I just said is nonsense: just because some wacko does something, this by itself is not a reflection on the nation. The question is whether it is of any significance.

The article did not demonstrate any such thing. Another point I made was that there ARE indeed groups in Russia, to a lesser extent in Ukraine, that oppose Soros. And Greenspan. And Wolfowitz. And Albert Einstein. Some, like Zhirinowsky openly state their hatred. Most, however, build quasi-intellectual theories why the list includes only Jewish names.

I am not against uniting with one enemy to fight another: we did that with Stalin to fight Hitler, for instance. But we have never been delusional about communism. Here too I don't mind that Soros experiences difficulties whereever he goes: he is the enemy of capitalism and the basic values of this country. But you should not be delusional about your allies: these ones are against Soros not for the reasons American conservatives are; these people hate him as a Jew. You should know it and to extent possible not to keep a bad company.

So to distill it all down, you don't like Soros but you hate Pravda more. I guess for people like you it is unfathomable that someone can examine issues, one by one ,a and stand on position of principle. Hate and taking sides with people is how YOU deal with the world, not I, and you project it on me. I guess you are not much of a conservative: we have a country of laws not men; think about that at your spare time.

Let me say it once more and I'll stop waisting my time: I don't hate Soros, and I don't hate Pravda. I know both, I disagree with them; and I dispise both for different reasons.

They've done a "hit piece" on somebody you don't like. This is the most idiotic thing you've said so far. Given that you've said it after all the lengthy posts I wrote explaining the point, I cannot really help you much. Nor anyone else, it appears. You learned to hate but have not learned to think or be fair.
