You can read the details and lots more at http://www.snopes.com (The Urban Legends fact checking website)

FYI: There is another thread on FR tonight titled: Still Not Fonda Jane. Before you claim something is false based snopes, you may want to check this out.

BEFORE anyone posts that SNOPES disclaimer, just for consideration, snopes.com is part of George Soros opennetinitiative.net (ONI Web) project funded by Soros Foundation's Open Society Institute. See this post for other site that are funded in his ONI Web Project. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1388245/posts?page=11#11

From Snopes:

Q: Who pays you to maintain this site?

A: We have no sponsors, and no one pays us to operate this site. We pay all the costs of maintaining this web site out of our own pockets, using advertising revenues and public donations to defray the operating expenses. We have no direct contact with the companies whose advertisements appear on our site, and their interests do not influence the content of this site in any way.

Also been doing some research on The OpenNet Initiative.

From their website: "The Open Net Initiative is a partnership between the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, and the Advanced Network Research Group at the Cambridge Security Programme at Cambridge University."

Could find no mention of George Soros. Doesn't appear to be HIS organization.

Do you have sources to the contrary?
