The Soros-Axelrod Axis?
The American Thinker ^ | September 24, 2009 | Ed Lasky

Posted on 09/24/2009 3:36:12 AM PDT by Scanian

George Soros is one of the big sugar daddies of the Democratic Party. He also is the ruler of an archipelago of so-called 527 groups that pose as non-partisan activists groups, but in fact are often hyper-partisan (such as MoveOn.Org), and are often employed by Democrats to influence elections. Soros, for years, has been the top funder of such groups. His influence among Democrats is widespread and enduring (and was well-documented by David Horowitz and Richard Poe in their book, The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party). His pet think-tank, the Center for American Progress, has been the idea factory and employment agency (think Van Jones, among others) for President Obama.

J Street may just be the canary in the coal mine.

An irrelevant point, but I wonder if Lasky has any idea what the phrase means?

Looks interesting. Bookmarked.

I’ve been checking every name from the left that comes in front of me in order see whose funding them. They’re ALL on the payroll. I trust NONE of them anymore.

Axlerod is a communist as is evil Soros. That appears to be the connector between all of them.

Glenn Beck has Soros at the top of his blackboard organizational chart. Soros’ fingers are in everything Left.

The investment banker Robert Wolf first met Barack Obama one afternoon in December in a midtown conference room. Obama was in town to deliver a speech at a charity dinner for children in poverty at the Mandarin Oriental—but also to pursue another, less high-minded, but more momentous, objective: to begin the process of attempting to pick Hillary Clinton’s pocket.

The conference room belonged to George Soros, the billionaire bête noire of the right. After talking to Soros for an hour about his prospective bid for the White House, Obama walked down the hall and found assembled a dozen of the city’s heaviest-hitting Democratic fund-raisers: investment banker Hassan Nemazee, Wall Street power Blair Effron, private-equity hotshot Mark Gallogly, hedge-fund manager Orin Kramer. Most had been big-time John Kerry backers in 2004. Most had a connection to the Clintons. All were officially uncommitted for 2008.

Interesting how the raving lunatics on the left never ever itch, whine, and moan about the ‘riches’ of their sugar daddy. Maddoff was small potatoes compared to the takings of this guy. Must be one powerful ‘high’ to own the American people.

And thank you lord McCain for cleaning out all the ‘dirty’ money from political campaigns.

Think of Bogart and Edward G. Robinson in Key Largo when Bogie, in response to the “What do you want?” question directed to Robinson’s Johnny Rocco character, answers, “Rocco knows what he wants-—he wants more.” And Robinson adds, “That’s right, I want more!”

Soros wants MORE.

Soros and Axelrod are natural allies

Astroturf groups are a mirror image of 527 groups, of which, to repeat, Soros is the nation's top donor. Is it possible that Soros has worked hand in hand with Axelrod to create such an astroturf group -- this time not to win elections, but to carry out Barack Obama's policies?

[snip]

Axelrod and the Obamas have a history of working together to create at least one astroturf-like initiative.

When Michelle Obama was employed by the University of Chicago Hospitals, she recommended the hospital hire David Axelrod‘s firm, ASK public Strategies, to ensure community support for a plan to dump patients who were unlikely to be able to pay the hospital for medical services onto other hospitals. This was Mrs. Obama's "Urban Health Initiative" (1984 euphemism). What did Axelrod do?

"...may just be the canary in the coal mine. J Street could be a model for the formation of a range of groups that may have the façade of independence but are actually tools of Barack Obama and company, to use to change America and the world?

To control the wealthiest country and all of their money. Health care - 1/6 of Americans wealth. Auto industries, banking industries, etc. etc. etc. Skim off the top of all of these enterprises and he is the golden goose!
