...a search on the Democratic National Committee Website for the words "MoveOn.org" produces a few paragraphs that raise instant questions for Soros.
One item says, "The DNC is also conducting a major petition drive in partnership with MoveOn.org. More than 310,000 Americans have signed the petition to protect our courts - with more than 172,000 of those signatures coming in the past 36 hours. The petition calls on Bush and the Republicans to stop nominating judges that are out of step with mainstream Americans and praising the Democrats for standing up for their rights." The DNC website links the petition.
The other announcement involved what the DNC called "a massive public mobilization" in which "The Democratic Party is partnering with MoveOn.org..." to fight President Bush’s tax cuts.

Left-wing "hate Bush" groups just recently proudly announced they have raised some $75 million to run attack ads against President Bush in battleground states.
A good chunk of these funds are from Democratic gazillionaires like George Soros. The hypocrisy of the left on campaign financing is truly stunning. For years, those on the left were cheerleaders for legislation like McCain-Feingold that would take "big money" out of politics. The were sick of multimillionaire donors "buying elections."
Well, excuse me, but what in the world do they think George Soros is doing? Mr. Soros, who has labeled George Bush "the most dangerous man in the world," has already given $16 million to "hate Bush" groups and he has said he will consider giving much more if that money can be used to defeat Bush-Cheney in November. But the left-wing campaign finance zealots have not issued a peep of protest.
The American Prospect magazine for years railed against big donor politics but recently applauded the Soros money because it will "level the playing field with Bush." But Mr. Bush raises his money $2,000 at a time, not $2 million at a time.
If the left doesn't want to play by the rules it set up with the new campaign law, that's fine. Let's repeal this misbegotten law by all means.
