Here's an ensuing comment below the above article (on the same web page ) :

Soros made a contribution to McCain's political organization when McCain was devising the McCain-Feingold bill. If you oppose that bill as I did and do, that's the end of the story"

No, it is not the end of the story. It does not matter if McCain actually took Soros money or not, he DID the work of Soros. He helped empower the billionaire and others like him at the expense of those he was supposed to be protecting.

The fact that McCain and Soros are IDENTICAL when it comes to other people's free speech IS STILL IMPORTANT. Even though you don't mind one bit, because it increased your power, also, didn't it?

You don't mind sacrificing my rights to McCain and Soros, it didn't cost you anything, and in fact, as a member of the "press" you can express your opinion right up to the election, for what it is worth.

We can trust McCain to take it to the Jihadists.....once he brings them home and tries them in front of the OJ jury? Making sure that they are never uncomfortable for one second? Comparing our soldiers who guard them with the sadistic communists who held him captive the whole time?

I feel so much safer.

Is McCain a Main Street Republican?

Its a little late David.

This is the rest of the article. The other part you posted was a comment left by a reader.

“Soros is an anti-American radical, who thinks George Bush is responsible for the war on terror and that Israel is the aggressor and genocidal armies like Hamas the victims. On these critical issues of our time, John McCain has absolutely nothing in common with George Soros. For Soros “American supremacy” is the greatest threat for world peace. For McCain, American military supremacy is the greatest guarantor of world peace. That’s quite a difference.”

BS!!!
Soros has been openly hosting fund raisers for Osama Obama !
He and Moveon.org are a Obama 527.
Last night people were posting photos of one of the events.
Your post is pure nonsense .
McCain is alot of things but he not anti-US and anti-military !
Daniel Ortega and Fidel’s buddy Osama is a radical Marxist like flunky who won’t even wear an American flag pin !

All well and good, as far as it goes. Nevertheless, it’s true that McCain did the work of George Soros and helped prepare the way for him and his organizations to play a controlling role in our elections.

And it’s also true that Soros recognized that, and contributed money in support of the McCain-Feingold Bill.

That’s all anyone has said that I’ve seen. And it’s true.

The RNC or McCain must be making it hot for David Horowitz, who did nothing but report the truth. So, McCain, lay off him. You brought this on YOURSELF by your own actions.

"The fact that McCain and Soros are IDENTICAL when it comes to other people's free speech [McCain-Feingold] IS STILL IMPORTANT."

You mean the legislation that Fred Thompson supported and Bush signed? Yeah well, a lot of Republicans made a big mistake -- they were all "indentical" to Soros on the issue of CFR.

I wonder if Horowitz ever uses Google.

Through The Weeds; John McCain, George Soros and the Reform Institute

Just use any combination of "John McCain, George Soros, think tank, funding, campaign finance" in the google search bar.

I said so last night on the FR thread - dispiriting to see how many freepers swallowed the story hook, line and sinker.

Where have the independent thinkers gone?

Too many people follow the bell wether sheep and lately, it seems, FR's bell wether sheep runs off in the wrong direction....

THINK, before you swallow!

Whew! Only one contribution from George Soros! I feel so much better! NOT!

Now, Mr. Horowitz, could you explain those contributions from by the Tides Foundation? How about the Proteus Fund? What about Max Palevsky?

And what about the actual objectives of his Institute—used to manipulate public opinion to sell his pet issues and make them appear to have popular support (and make money for his pals at the same time)? Shamnesty, Open Primaries, Climate Change... etc.

And what about the people his institute places at the helm? Mr. Juan (open borders) Hernandez, Robert (uh-oh, my buddies got convicted) Kelly, or Cecilia (”Clean Elections” MALDEF) Martinez?

I love ya David, but you can’t put lipstick on this pig!

John McCain Gets Soros Cash

Senator John McCain's Reform Institute has suffered some bad press recently due to its involvement in an influence-peddling scandal with Cablevision. As usual, however, mainstream media have failed to go to the root of the matter.

Founded on June 26, 2001, McCain's Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues has long served as a nerve center for the so-called "campaign finance reform" movement – a movement which has done nothing to clean up campaign finance, but has done a great deal to empower federal judges and government bureaucrats to regulate political speech, in defiance of the Bill of Rights.

Now here's the kicker. The list of donors published on the Reform Institute's Web site reads like a veritable Who's Who of radical, leftwing foundations, including the Tides Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Proteus Fund and George Soros' Open Society Institute (hat tip, Winfield Myers).

Not surprisingly, in view of the above associations, Arianna Huffington serves on the Reform Institute's Advisory Board. Huffington has long acted as a front for George Soros' "campaign finance reform" efforts. In 2000, she organized the so-called Shadow Conventions which provided John McCain with a bully pulpit to stump for his now-infamous McCain-Feingold Act. George Soros shouldered about one third of the cost of the Shadow Conventions.

DISCOVERTHENETWORK.ORG is David Horowitz's newest website, dedicated to exposing the interconnected web of left-wing activists, organizations, journalists, and financiers that wage political warfare against the United States and her founding ideals. ...

Soooooo... Soros, an avowed socialist and enemy of everything America stands for, gave McCain money... which McCain kept. The result was CFR, which damaged our rights to free speech and put Soros-controlled political groups in charge of the purse strings of the democrat party.

How is this a false trail? It’s the same thing Clinton did... accepting money from an enemy of the US, in the name of political ambition.

So even though the man who wrote the story doesn’t believe that McCain is in Soro’s pocket, you still don’t want to let go of your distrust.

Glad to see all the Fooferah was for nothing.

Okay. It’s not the end of the story. But why do you persist with this story when the real story is McCain-Feingold? Please stick with the relevant topic.

McCain and Soros are identical perhaps on the passing of this legislation. Please advise me of other examples where they are identical on free speech.

Please also expound on John McCain’s plan to try jihadists before the OJ jury. How has he proposed that will happen?

Cheers and good partisan and conservative wishes,
Thompson-Romney donor (I’m out five bills this cycle.)Jim

I agree.

Perhaps something in one of these six articles can clear it up.

Ping.

McCain and Soros pal around together in the Council on Foreign Relations.

They are both globalist anti Americans, as are all the Council.
