Glenn Beck's George Soros Expose Missed One Surprising Thing: His Big Sarah Palin Connection
Business Insider ^ | 11/12/2010 | Courtney Comstock

Posted on 11/12/2010 9:51:35 AM PST by aimhigh

Glenn Beck's epic takedown of George Soros left out something interesting. One of Sarah Palin's top aids, Randy Scheunemann, has been on Soros' payroll for years.

From Salon:

Given Soros' alleged role plotting to destroy the United States, Beck and his Fox viewership might be surprised to learn that one of Sarah Palin's top aides, [Scheunemann], has been on Soros' payroll for years.

Bingo! A good illustration is the betting lines on all sports. The line is set so that no matter who actually wins the game doesn’t matter to the bookie. He just wants it to be within the margin of his “vigorish” or his take on the bet.

Beck said that Soros had bought off some on the right so this article is a little way off to say the least

A day after the election, a CNN article claimed that Scheunemann had been fired by the McCain campaign a week earlier for "trashing" campaign staff and "positioning himself with Palin at the expense of John McCain's campaign message." [11] A later article, however, stated that Scheunemann had not been fired, but that many of McCain's top staff wanted him fired and removed his access to his campaign email and Blackberry.[12]"

I don't know. That endears him to me a bit for pissing McQueeg off.

Not good.

Even if his tie to Soros is distant, he does not look like someone I would want on my staff (lobbyiest).

Palin needs to dump him.

I have NO clue just how politically astute Sarah is,

It is what she is famous for, being an independent, uncontrollable free agent fighting against, and out witting the establishment, it is what she did in Alaska, and what she has been doing nationally since 2008.

One of the key differences between an employee vs a contractual relationship is that as an employer you are responsible for whatever your employee does while in a contractual relationship you contract for a certain service and have no responsibility for whatever other clients the sub-contractor chooses to take on or derive benefits from.

Randy Scheunemann is NOT an employee of Palin’s. He is contracted by her to provide a service to her (probably mostly in the realm of foreign policy and national security issues) which SarahPAC has disclosed he has been well remunerate for. Nothing more, nothing less.

Whatever Scheunemann does outside of his contractual agreement with Palin is Randy’s own business and none of Palin’s business. That is the key difference between an employer-employee relationship and a contractual/sub-contractor relationship in case you didn’t know.

In the former, the emphasis is on oversight and responsibility, while in the latter the emphasis is on a specific task or obtaining specific information and NOT on oversight or responsibility.

I’m no conspiracy theorist,

HAAA!! We are all conspiracy theorists at heart here, some a bit more reserved than others in sharing or pursuing them but. ;-)

This old offering applies even more today .. Never fall in love with a ‘politician’, they’ll break your heart in the end everytime.

I’m sorry, I’m an idiot. Committed the worst crime a Freeper can engage in: posting without reading. Aggravated offense because I’m posting without the right reading glasses so things are fuzzy.

Thanks, I notice the poster a couple of days ago.

Kind of reminds me of Frantsie and his FOX News jihad posts, lol.

Again I voted for HER, certainly not lord McCain in the last election. However, I know who lord McCain's master is, and he is a sell OUT of the highest order... Sarah must tread very careful IF she is NOT to get that reputation over her 'pristine' wilderness reputation.

No, you’re not an idiot. But you were off the mark and it warranted calling attention to it.

If he was still working for McCain, most people would accept this at face value and say this proves McCain’s in league with Soros (which would in my opinion be a wrong conclusion).

But since it’s Palin, the same people here will dismiss it (in this case, I think rightly).

It’s nice when people getting things right or wrong is only by luck, because they decide right and wrong by whether their chosen candidate is involved or not.

And it would seem that something has gone right.
