RNC Statement On MoveOn.org’s Offensive New Advertisement
Republican National Committee ^ | May 19, 2005

Posted on 05/19/2005 4:25:25 PM PDT by RWR8189

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Tracey Schmitt
202-863-8614


“MoveOn.org’s vulgar depiction of a violent attack on the Capitol -- a building that symbolizes our democracy -- is beyond the pale of acceptable political discourse. Democrats know Senator Frist’s efforts are intended to restore Senate tradition by granting highly qualified judicial nominees the vote they deserve and have received for the past 214 years. It’s sad that the Democrats and their third party allies would choose to play on Americans’ fears instead of engaging in constructive political debate.”

 

- RNC Communications Director Brian Jones


Moveon.Org Has Long History Of Airing Inflammatory And Inappropriate Ads

FactCheck.Org: “MoveOn.Org Launched A False TV Ad In The Districts Of Several House Members, Claiming Through Images And Words That President Bush Plans To Cut Social Security Benefits Nearly In Half.” (FactCheck.Org, “MoveOn.Org Social Security Ad,” www.factcheck.org/article303.html, 2/1/05)

“[T]he Liberal Group Moveon.Org Produced A TV Ad Titled ‘Quagmire’ Asserting That Mr. Bush Lacks Plans To End The War. ‘George Bush Got Us Into This Quagmire,’ The Narrator Says As An American Soldier Sinks Deeper Into Quicksand, Rifle Overhead In A Posture That Suggests Surrender.” (Todd J. Gillman, “History Of A ‘Quagmire’” The Dallas Morning News, 9/27/04)

“MoveOn.Org … Is Responsible For The ‘Fire Cheney’ TV Ad That Shows The Statue Of Liberty With A Hood Over Its Head.” (Bill Holland, “Getting Out The Vote,” Billboard, 7/3/04)

I thought it was evidence of their hysteria. Dims are insane! They have no arguments, nothing positive to offer so they go for shock hysteria.

I remember some democrat PAC site had George Bush pushing a granny in a wheelchair down some stairs.

Not to worry. I remember, must have been 1981 because RR was just into his first term as President, Mother Jones ran on its cover a picture of him holding a family at gunpoint, everyone gagged and tied up. The banner read "America held hostage". Big deal. RR was re-elected by the biggest landslide in recent history.

The reason they scream and make such a loud fuss is that they LOST, they will probably continue to LOSE, and they KNOW it.

The best part is, at least 60% (probably more like 80%) of swing voters have their BS alarm go off anytime they see the words "MoveOn.org." These guys are toast.

The divorce between leftist intellectuals and their working class allies is due to become final any day now...

Hillary may have fire on her butt very soon.

The Clintons have weathered every storm and have come up the winners. It would be nice to see them take a nose dive in politics - but I still believe it is wishful thinking to believe she will be taken out in 06.

SOROS FNDTN GIVEN $20M BY US GOVT (FR thread)

An outrage that Soros is operating with out tax dollars. Soros had to have Congressional help to get all this money. We demand to know who it was. Moreover, we need to demand that Congress make public anybody who meets with Congress to get federal money. We want details on who is meeting with Congress, the purpose of the meeting, and what they are going to use our taxes for. No more plotting behind our backs to suckup our tax dollars without our knowledge or consent. This must end.


We need to eliminate public/private partnerships. They are not only unconstitutional, but they water down the indvidual citizens rights, and as you have observed, they keep the citizen from knowing what is going on in their government because no one can possibly go to all the meetings that are held with these groups. Government must be forced back into a constitutional structure, that is local-municipal, county, state, then federal. The regional governments and council this and council that are to dilute the power of the sovereign citizen and give it over to private corporations and NGOs.




Soros' "Open Societies," my Aunt Tilly. This tax-sucker Soros is an enemy of the US, particularly of conservatives, and conservative values. We need to know exactly how he spent our tax dollars. The IRS is onto these non-profits. Soros is running a global scam, to fill his pockets with other people's money. First-class phony, con man, and fraudster.


What is even more scary than Soros filling his pockets is the revolving door he has created to keep the money running in circles. All monies he gleems from our taxes and business profits seem to go to these other causes; but when the 'causes' spend the monies on businesses the Soros players have interests in...the money stays in the pot. All monies that enter his spider webbing just get moved from the right hip pocket to the left hip pocket. They have endless funds to fight us back. And we struggle.


Money is fungilble and this creep knows how to finesse it.

Guy is scary---- a sly fox who's good at the con games he plays-----seems to think he's above the law. But he's made a huge mistake, plotting against Americans behind closed doors, tapping into our taxes, using them against us. He will not get away with it.


The outing or publication of the reality of $oreA$$'s anti American Groups getting our tax dollars to weaken America is only the beginning.

An outrage that Soros is operating with out tax dollars. Soros had to have Congressional help to get all this money.

Might be a lead here:

Lowell Ponte, "The ABC's of Media Bias"

Morton Halperin today is Senior Vice President of the left-wing Center for American Progress (CAP) and Director of the Open Society Policy Center established by eccentric billionaire international financier George Soros. . .In February 1993, President Bill Clinton’s administration announced the appointment of Morton Halperin to the new position of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Democracy and Peacekeeping. Halperin withdrew his name from consideration in January 1994, his nomination stalled by both Republican and Democrat U.S. Senators who refused to consent to so radical a nominee. . .After the U.S. Senate refused to confirm Halperin, President Clinton appointed the controversial left-wing activist to several positions that required no Senate confirmation: Special Assistant to the President, Senior Director for Democracy at the National Security Council and consultant to the Secretary of Defense and to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. In 1998, Halperin became director of policy planning for the U.S. State Department. During his tenure 15 State Department laptop computers containing highly classified intelligence information disappeared. . .Morton Halperin in February 2002 became Director of the Open Society Policy Center and has worked closely ever since with its creator, eccentric billionaire international financier George Soros, who committed tens of millions of dollars in 2004 to a variety of efforts to defeat President Bush. One of these Soros-funded political efforts is the Center for American Progress (CAP), launched in summer 2003, one of the “Seven Sisters” pillars of the left’s “Shadow Government.” CAP is also known as “the official Hillary Clinton think tank,” described by Horowitz and Poe as “a platform designed to highlight Hillary’s policies and to enhance her prestige as a potential presidential candidate." According to a March 1, 2004 report by Robert Dreyfuss in The Nation, Halperin and Soros handpicked the President of CAP, former Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta. . .

I hope you're right, Liz. I hope John and Jane Q are paying attention, because Sore-a$$ is trying to overthrow our government and our way of life.

BACKSTORY During World War I, Soros' father was captured by the Russians but managed to escape. Then during World War II, his family hid from the Nazis after Hungary allied itself with Germany. Came to U.S. in 1956 with economics degree in hand. In 1969, started Quantum Fund with James Rogers, who broke with him in 1981.

Today, as a 70% owner of $2.1 billion Quantum, the world’s largest offshore investment fund, Soros and the other six managing directors split 15% of the annual profits. He had homes in England and NY and helps fellow Hungarians and other Eastern Europeans reacquaint themselves with capitalism.

To bankroll that effort, Soros created the Open Society Fund in 1979 and the Soros Foundation-Hungary in 1984. Known as "an alternate ministry of culture," the foundation helped establish a management training center in an old castle outside Budapest. Now there are foundations in 10 Central and Eastern European countries (as well as global OS's) aimed at (gag) cultural and economic revitalization.

Soros authored The Alchemy of Finance, published in 1987, in which he outlines his "theory of reflexivity," which holds that perceptions change events which in turn, change perceptions. Soros wrote Opening the Soviet System which was due out in 2004.

Under the aegis of a Foundation, Soros (and his co-conspirators) could get away with huge financial travesties. Within that structure all kinds of financial misdeeds can be hidden. Corporate monies could be laundered, used to fund US campaigns, to evade scrutiny, to transfer corporate assets to personal accounts out of sight of the FEC, IRS, SEC, and state and federal banking laws.

Soros's background in high finance is as a internaitonal currency thief. Rumor has it that there is a bounty on him in Indonesia, and elsewhere. This man is pure evil. Unfortunately, he is also very shrewd. He must be caught in the act of criminality. The damage he can do to our Nation will be profound.

Soros scams include multiple "Open Society" organizations stashed all over the world---that make it a cinch to money-launder graft, dirty deals, stock market manipulations, currency scams, etc. Soros might be palling around with Clinton pardonee Mark Rich---master money launderer---Rich, who renounced his American citizenship to avoid prosecution as the Nation's uiggest tax cheat, runs thousands of, uh, "trading companies."

Who would doubt that the DNC and the Clintons colluded to give Soros access to top secret financial data.....govt-sponsored insider trading that made Soros billions.

In return, Soros, (like the Chinese military) channels millions of dollars back into the DNC and the Clintons' coffers. What a setup. All the illegal contributions the Dims can extort.....and all washed by Soros through his Open Societies.

No wonder Soros was desperate for Kerry to win....... the financial spigot was about to be turned off.

Have you looked into any links between him and Russian oil companies? In the 1990s when the company Svyazinvest was privatized he sided in a bidding war with some Western investors and Vladimir Potanin of Onexim Bank against a group of bidders backed by Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky--after which he ended up losing a lot of money in the 1998 crash--and it seems like a lot of his economic and political activity is geared towards increasing his influence in the Caucasus. I sometimes wonder if his business interests in this area figure into his opposition to Bush's Middle Eastern policy.
